Grape-Nuts food is made
of Wheat and Barley, in
large lob. loaves which
are first baked, then sliced
and again baked until rock
hard. The slices are then
ground into the granules
called Grape-Nuts.
The long baking changes
the starch of the cereals to a
form of sugar which is
easily digested and quickly
absorbed by even a child.

There are a thousand pretty, en-
gaging little ways, which every
person may put on without run
ming the risk of being deemed af-
fected or foppish. The sweet
smiles, the cordial bow, the earnest
movement in addressing a friend,
the inquiring glance, the graceful
attention which is so captivating
when united with self-possession
these will insure us the good re-
CARDS of even a churl. About all,
there is a certain softness of man
ner which, IN either man or wo-
man, adds a charm that almost en-
tirely compensates for lack of
beauty, and inestimably enhances
the latter where it does not exist.

Mime. Gould's steamer left the Hoboken
docks Edwin A. Jones, who said that he
was counsel for the Tylet Morses and one
of the legal advisers OF Nine. Gould as
well. told the newspaper men that a re-
port that Mime. Gould and the prince had
been married the night before in Hoboken
was groundless, and that not even an en-
gagement existed between them. He
added as an afterthought that he was not
competent to speak for the future reia-
said that Nine. Gould had been very much
hurc by the attitude of her family toward
herself and the prince. and believed that
in the light of the fact that the prince
was nothing more than a very good friend
who had helped her in her troubles with
Count Boni he had been unfairly dealt
with by her brothes and sisters.
Farther than this friendship, which
both recognize" concluded the lawyer
there IS nothing between Nine. Gould
and the prince Nine. Gould has told her
brother George and the rest of the fam
lily that she does not intend TO marry de
Sagan AT the present time. They are not
engaged even. but no one can tell what
the future may bring.
1t was said today that the determina-
ton of Nine. Gould and de Sagan TO
leave New York for Europe had been
reached suddenly.
