Short skirts Are the RuIe.

Very short skirts are the absolute
rule, and it matters little what the ma

study it's ways
The short skirt has many things In
It's favor. II is very light in weight
for II is abbreviated to such an extent
that nounces and rufIies are almost
impossible. II Is becoming to the feet
II Is comfortable and 1t takes little
material More than all these, II Is
fashionable. and the fashion has
spread until II now reaches Paris and
is popular in Vienna. where there was
the greatest protest against IT. The
Paris modistes are chopping off the
gowns right at the ankles.
OF course there IS always the
trained dress for evening wear. This
is made decollete, with very short
sleeves, and with tight skirt and full
train This style OF dress is well rec
ognized as being the regulation full
evening dress But Il Is not the vogue
for the woman who wants a dress for
any other purpose than that of full
dress.
The new short skirts are much
shorter than the former ones. They
are now made instep high and some
Of them are even less. They most de.
cidedly show the feet and this calls
for the prettiest of shoes.

DUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-

wreaks its fiendish malice on those
who use it.

coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness.
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort of af-
fection of the nerves leading from the
spine TO the head.
Il was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as
to what caused the trouble, until a
friend suggested that possibly the cof-
fee we drank had something to do
with II, and advised that we quit it
and try Postum Coffee.
I'VE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve. and in
a very short time both of us were
entirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
ceased, the muscles in the back of my
neck relaxed, my head Strengthened

punished me while | used the old kind
of coffee vanished.
I'VE have never resumed the use or

how very virtuous Americans are in
this respect is probably not realized

The question why is Limited train"
so called has been propounded to a
general passenger agent, who replies
as follows:
First.--It is limited as to its time.
Second.-It is limited as to the num-
Der of cars and weight of train.
Third.-It is limited as to the class
of cars.
Fourth.-lt Is limited as to the num-
Der and class of passengers permitted
transportation thereon
This last limit is adopted so that
every passenger may have ample ac-
commodation and not be crowded or
interfered with by other passengers.
The fact that an additional fare is
charged on a limited train and, fur
ther, that nothing but first class tick
cts are accepted for passage tends to
limit the class of travel which is car
ried,
