HATS OF coRNHusKs.
stsIe OF Headaear That VIII Rival
the Costly Panama the Come
ing Summer.


Corn husks during the present sea-
SON have been bought up for the pur-
pose of utilizing them IN the manufac-
ture Of a new style OF hat which may
become both fashionable and popular
next summer, says the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post.
The material is cheap. In fact, Il is
usually wasted. Properly cured corn
husks are tough and may be folded
without cracking Dampened, they
may be made TO assume any desired
shape.
The process Of working corn husks
into hats is novel. somewhat intricate,
and is protected by patent. IL is said
that samples already turned out are
artistic as well as light and strong.
An element which enters significant
" into the construction of the hat is
the natural shape OF the husks, which
taper in width from base 10 tip. When
split the parts maintain this confg
uration, as they parallel the fiber.
This tapering Of all the parts has
been an important feature in the mnn-
ufacture Of the hat. The brim and top
Of the hat are formed by a series Of
layers Of corn husks. TO impart a
novel appearance, the outer end OF
some Of these layers are pointed. Con-
siderable ingenuity has been displayed
in the eutire construction Of the hat
even the band is made of corn husks-
I and it Is asserted that the result is
graceful aud attractive, and that,
though It may be constructed econom-
ically TO be sold at popular prices
more expensive brands. requiring ex-
ceptional skill in the manufacture. will
be turned out to meet the demand for
hats at fancy prices.

Months later Tom Burrows re-
viewed his past with no small amount
of displeasure as he sat in his room
smoking his pipe of reflection. In
some inexplicable manner the whole
course Of his life had gone wrong.
He had already passed the age of 25,
when, according to his opinion, every
man should have the channel, into
which his talents might be directed,
well grooved to the accomplishment.
His early days had been spent in
thoughtlessness and ease; these in
cluded three years at college where
he had intended to graduate a full
fledged NJ. D. However, circumstances
often ruin plans for the future. When
he suddenly discovered that II was
cramping his fathers waning income
and also seriously hindering the
chances Of his younger brothers and
sisters, Of which he had a goodiy
number, he determined to utilize his
abilities in more practical and less
expensive sphere. His decision had
come as a severe blow to his mother,
who held him. her Oldest boy, as a
cherished ideal, who should be a trihc
better than the ordinary, no mat
ter what the sacrifice. But So it was

The Man Who
Found Himself
aNANANNNaNN l.aNAARNRA
By R. Henry Manner.

I OSIAH JAMESON was a self-made
u man, and It was the boast Of his
old age. Twenty years had elapsed
since he had entered the limits Of
the little hamlet where lay buried
the golden egg Of his future success
es, and which as time passed some
railroad official had designated as
Black Rock.
In making himself Josiah Jameson
had fathered the upbringing Of the
town, and with the instinct Of far
seeing speculator had possessed him
self Of the lions share Of IL. He had
also founded the business which had
set him above the ordinary cares of
living and comfort
His stores were very cosmopolitan
in their lines of merchandise, com
prising mill supplies, mining outfits,
groceries, and articles of wear for
the inhabitants. He also dabbled
somewhat in lumber and the solitary
saw-mill on the neighboring river
bank was embodied in his deeds of
ownership.
AS his age crept upon him he real
lied that his interests needed the
hand of one more skilled in the mat
ter of books and figures. So it was
that one bright morning found a
stranger poring over the dusty ledg-
ers, and Josiah standing idly by,
pufing his pipe with the self-eon-
sciousness of man who has known
prosperity.
Besides this goodly share of world
" possessions, Josiah had an only
child, a daughter, and his intentions
regarding her were in accordance
with what he considered his heir
should require. To this end her home
training was all that a doting parent
could devise. When she had turned
II he sent her east, where,
under the strict eye of a maiden
aunt, she was to be schooled in the
accomplishments necessary to a lady
of culture.
The new bookkeeper had spent a
half-year of work within the pre-
cinets Of the little back office, and
certainly he had brought remark
able order and system out of the
chaos into which the affairs of the
firm had drifted. This gave Josiah
much satisfaction, and he had re-
marked to a friend in a burst of
confidence, that "The fellow is a rare
one at figures and very obliging to
boot for an ordinary colleger."
A letter arrived at this time from
his daughter, bringing the announce
ment that she had completed her
term of education, and also a trip
across to the seats of fashion in the
old world, and' that she was return
ing home for well-earned holiday
and rest. AS usual, the proud father
made his morning call at his Office,
and with forced calmness proceeded
to inspect the work of his secretary,
adding a few words of condemnation
or praise as the case demanded. Then
he shifted to the main object of his
visit.
II want you to take the cart and
go to the station to meet my daugh-
ter Jean, whom am expecting on the
ten o'clock train. think the drive
would do you good, and 1 viii keeI
the desk until you return"
So it came about that Tom Bur
rows met Jean Jameson.

THE LUNCH QUESTION.
How Big Chicago Firm Solved IT,

So many employees bolt the lunch and
eat what they should not. that they soon
show the effect in nervousness and dys-
pepsia This has attracted the attention
of managers of the big stores and shops.
In one Chicago firm an experiment on
some of the girls resulted in complete
solution of the question.
The woman that made the experiment
tells the tale as follows: about year
ago l became alarmed at the state of my
daughters health. She was employed by
a big firm here and for some reason
steadily lost fiesh grew very nervous,
had no appetite and could not sleep.
Questioning her | found she ate but
fittle lunch, for at that busy hour she
was seldom served promptly and the
time being short she just 'bolted' the
food and rushed back. She ate very light
breakfasts and l could see she suffered
from lack of nourlshment. felt respon-
sible for this and finally got her some
Grape-Nuts for breakfast.
Il also got a neat leather case hold
ing two pint TASKS. One I filled with
milk the other with cold Postum Coffee
which had been properly made. She also
carried a package of Grape-Nuts The
Postum she drank iced with a dash of
lemon. She followed the Grape-Nuts with
some fruit and this made up her lunch.
''In spite of the warm weather she im-
proved greatly in two weeks time She
gained in flesh, her nerves were steady
and she slept sweetly AT night. She
never felt the old weakness from hunger.
I'm a short time few other girls In
the office tried 1t and the effect was so
marked upon all that still others were
persuaded. Finally roem was cleared
out and the one hundred and odd girls
