1t sometimes requires a higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains
of a pernicious habit than to lead a
forlorn hope in a bloody battle. A
lady writes from an Indiana town:
From my earliest childhood l was
a lover of coffee. Before l was out
of my teens l was a miserable dys-
peptic. suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
81 was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
l could not deny myself a cup for
breakfast. At the age of SO l was
in very POOR health, indeed. My sis
ter told NE was in danger of becom-
ing q coffee drunkard.
But I never could give up drink

opal, set upon a slender silver wire.
The workmanship of this delicate
thing is beyond reproach, as the
slightest touch or breath of air will
set it all aquiver.
Another ornament is in the shape OF
a dragon fly. The body is one mass
of brilliant gems. A great ruby is
set into the head and the eyes are Of
opals. But all this solidity is lost
when it comes to the wings, which
are fashioned of special metal,
drawn to the fineness of a thread and
then woven with faithful accuracy to
the structure of a natural wing. The
effect is beyond description.
At last some genius, at loss for new
iCeas, has utilized the wild carrot in
hair ornaments. An example is one
representing the full-blown flower, the
center of solid mass of opals. the
surrounding circles being of white
enamel. The entire flower is worked
out in detail, and diamonds further
separate the natural divisions of the
bloom.

WALKING IN THE WOODS.

The autumn leaves are getting bright
With hues of brown and red,
The forest is a wondrouS blaze
OF color overhead.
And through the woods Myrtilla walks,
With Colin at her side,
And eagerly collects the leaves
By natures colors dyed.
At last she finds a lovely one,
Unique among the rest,
And in her girlish way she cries:
.'Oh must have that pressedI'
But how? She looks at Colin,
A look that can be felt:
Then with a smile she slips the leaf
In underneath her belt.
