TWO STEPS
The Last One Helps the First.

A sick coffee drinker must take two
steps to be rid of his troubles and get
strong and well again.
The first step is to cut off coffee abb
solutely.
That removes the destroying ele-
food land that is Postom Food Cof-
fee) that has in it the elements ma
ture requires to change the blood
corpuscles from pale pink or white
to rich red, and good red blood builds
good strong and healthy cells in place
of the broken down cells destroyed by
coffee. With well boiled Postum Food
Coffee to shift to, both these steps
are easy and pleasant. The expert
ence Of a Georgian proves how i'm
portant both are.
From 1872 to the year 1900 my
wife and l had both been afflicted
with sick or nervous headache and at
times we suffered untold agony. We
were coffee drinkers and did not know
how to get away from it for the habit

used in place of the old coffee and
complete cure resulted, SO concluded
to get some and try it.

use Of Postum in place of the coffee

trouble and in Eve months had
gained from las pounds to 1913 pounds.

drinking Postum in its place.

How to Rule a Husband.

When the writer was about to
marry, the wife of well-known judge
gave her this advice:
my dear, woman needs the wis
dom of Solomon, the patience of Job
and the meekness of a dove to get
along with the best man that ever
lived. 1 have my third husband, all
good men, but all cranky at times.
When they are cranky, keep still;
when they fret, hold your tongue, and
always remember that it takes two to
make quarrel"
In writing to the dear old lady af-
ter some years of experience at the
headquarters of an army, where /
was surrounded by some thirty-thou-
sand men, took occasion to say:
The more l see of men the better
l like them; and as to quarreling, you
are quite right l should like to add
that your admirable advice might per-
haps be supplemented by adding: Elk
ercise tact, and spell it large Tact
will win nine times out of ten where
open hostility and aggressiveness
falls
The response was:
you are right; we are improving

ARE BETTER OFF SINGLE.
Why There Are Fewer Marriages
Amono the WelI-to-Do.


"One is sometimes led to speculate
upon the very apparent subsistence of
the sentimental relationship of the
sexes in our age" says Mrs. Burton
Harrison in Everybody's Magazine.
Certain it is that the young man
who dares not, and the girl who cares
not, to achieve matrimony, are fire.
quent spectacle. In the mans case,
who can blame him, acquainted as he
generally is with the stress of money
getting, and informed on every side
of the expectations and the necessi-
ties, of wife in society? AS for the
girl, it is the habit of well-to-do
American parents so to equip and
prepare their daughters for life
among the highest; they so commonly
provide her with luxuries unknown to
their own youth, with suites of rooms,
maids, horses, vehicles of her own
they carry her so much abroad that
she cannot find herself tempted to
give up this ease and variety for the
humdrum estate of marriage and a
husband who must daily work down
town. Such a state of things seems
abnormal, but is not unusual. And
while 1 am quite unprepared to ac-
cept H. B. Marriott Watson's declara-
ton, in the Nineteenth Century, that
the American woman is anarchical;
that she is undermining the sociology
cal foundations of the state-I think
in this matter of wanting to remain
single because she is better off than
if married, there is a menace of
grave import to the nation

so bad that he could not walk. He
tried Doctors treatment and many diff

things to The Man himself l can't
make out; she says them to me.
One night The Man and Philomene
went out alone, and when they re-
turned The Man came in to get warm,
for it was very cold out of doors.
They went into the tea room, and
followed them there and curled up
under the table. l must have fallen
asleep for when l awoke l was sure
that The Man had gone, for l heard
my mistress talking to the picture,
fore. She was saying:
"Of course love you, dear. You
must have known it for a long time
1 tried so hard not to let you see it,
and yet 1 was afraid in my heart that
you wouldn't. That's the woman of
it you know"
l looked out from under the table
and saw that she was not talking to
the picture, but to The Man. They
were standing by the fireplace, and
The Man had his arms around her,
and the light from the fire made her
cheeks as red as the glowing Goals in
the crate. The Man was saying:
Sweetheart, my sweetheart, l love
you-ah, how l do love you! You
have foolishly set me on a very high
pedestal, but 1 will try and be worthy
of the priceless love you have given
me-"
Philomene raised her face and The
Man kissed her. and as he did so |
felt funny feeling inside of me, and
l wanted to rush out and bite him on
the leg, but I knew my mistress
wouldn't like that, so restrained my
self
The next day boy brought my mis-
tress a little package of letters, and
when she opened them and read the
first one she grew as white as a ghost
hand to her heart. All day long she
sat in her room saying nothing, see
ing nothing, and paying no attention
even to me, but with such look in
her eyes as l never wish to see in
them again. That night, when The
Man came, she walked quietly into
the room, and as he arose to meet
her, and held out his hands, she placed
the package of letters in them. The
Mans face turned even whittier than
hers.
''In Gods name, Philomene, where
did you get these?" he gasped as he
sank into a chair.
"a messenger brought them TO me
this morning." she said YEARLY. 81

Then she went on bravely: Tell me
all about them; tell me all about her

love her so very, very dearly?" she
asked softly. rs she dead or"
NO, no, Phiiomene 1 thought

story is such miserable one, cannot
bear to tell it to you. Still, as you
say, you have right to know, and
will tell you all-the whole truth"
Eyes, DEAR" said Philomene, 'all of
it, please"
I met Helen Burnett at a recep-
ton given by an artist friend in Lon
don. Her wonderful beauty of face
and form caught me, and before I
knew it l was, as / thought, desper-

as she was off it-as 1 discovered to
my sorrow. We left London together

l think my mistress, Philomene, the
most beautiful woman I ever saw
yes, and the sweetest and the gen.
TEST and the best. And she says that,
next to my father, she loves me bet
ter than any dog she ever knew.
But 1 am not the only one who
loves Philomene.
The Man has often said to me, when
Philomene wasn't around: Paddy,
old man, really believe you love your
mistress nearly as much as 1 do"
which shows that he doesn't really
know how very much 1 do love her.

Man, too, for l have watched her night
after night take his picture from it's

it tenderly and say such sweet things
to it. Just as if a picture could hear

Old China as Table Decorations.

Georgina, countess of Dudley, is said
to have been the first hostess who
grasped the possibilities of old pieces
of gold and silver as table decorations.
Old china lends itself to this pur-
pose as readily, as was proved at the
dinner party given by Baron and Bar
oness Alphonse de Rothschild this
week in their fine mansion, Rue Saint
Florentin The flowers were the price
less orchids for which the baron's con-
servatories at Ferrieres are celebrated,
and the golden and mauve tints of the
exquisite blossoms were thrown into
harmonious relief by the pieces of
green Sevres china placed on the
table A London hostess not long ago
made a sensation by decorating her
table entirely with La France roses
and using a dinner service of pink
Sevres, matching the flowers perfectly.
