WIFE WON
Husband Finally Convinced.

Some men are wise enough to try
new foods and beverages and then gen
erous enough to give others the bene-
fit of their experience.
A very conservative Ills. man,
however let his good wife find out for
herself what blessing Postum is to
those who are distressed in many
ways, by drinking coffee. The wife
writes:

drinking was the trouble. At last my
nervous system was so disarranged
that my physician ordered no more

to this our family had tried Postum,
but disliked it, because, as we learned
later, it was not made right.

with a rich snappy flavor similar to
coffee. When cream and sugar were
added, it was not only good but de-
licious.
Noting it's beneficial effects in me
the rest of the family adopted it-all
except my husband, who would not ad-
nit that coffee hurt him. Several
weeks elapsed during which [ drank
Postum two Or three times day,
when, to my surprise, my husband
said: 4 have decided to drink Postum.

heavy weaves do not launder so well,
and they are anything but cool.
In color, all white and ecru are the
most dependable for Tubing, but this
year there are many charming tints
for the woman who can afford to pat
ronize dry cleaner instead of laun-
dress.
One of the smartest of the new
linen colors is, of course, copenhagen
blue and it's near tints," both lighter
and darker. Some beautiful rose
pinks are shown, bordering on cerise,
and all the purplish tints like rasp-
berry, crushed strawberry, etc.
In the browns a golden tint without
suggestion of red is the coolest of
all for summer wear, but ecru is bet
ter even than the darker tint.
charming gray is offered which is
neither pearl nor steel. but suggests
bit of silvery blue. 1t combines beau
tifully with white lace and is cool to
eye and touch.
Baby blue and lavender are bad col
ors for hard wear, as both show
streaks of yellow under sunlight or
Tubing. A few very stunning suits
coats and skirts are shown in black
linen, piped with white or black and
white and finished with white cuffs
and collars.
Also a little of the teagreen linen
is shown for tailored suits, but the
popular novelties of the season are
the raspberry and gray linens.
In width these linens vary from 27
to SO inches, and the latter cuts to
best advantage, especially for circular
skirts. A good quality can be secured
for so cents a yard, and Is yards will
make a stunning three-piece suit or
princess frock and loose coat.
The very smartest touch on the
linen costume for midsummer is, of
course, this hand-embroidery in large,
sprawling, extravagant patterns, done
with mercerized floss, always white,
whatever the tint of the gown. And
with this embroidery are used quanti-
ties of buttons, some covered with the
plain linen; others covered with GRO
cheting and still others, done in lace,
Very large buttons finish the coats,
medium-sized buttons trim the skirt,
and tiny buttons appear on the trim
ming of blouse, cuffs and collar.
The tailored suits are quite fire..
quently piped with contrasting color,
and black and white striped fabric is
used with almost every tint, pale blue,
lavender, white, gray and black.
Brown is piped with pure white or
ecru, and on nearly all the tailored
coats a vest is suggested, if only with
a piping around the inside of the col
lar.

ton of raspberry linen, princess net
and white soutache, with matching
buttons, that is most pleasing.

FIRST AMERICAN GLASS.
Made at Factory Built by Boston
Man in New Hampshire Town.

Man in New Hampshire Town.
The first American glass factory
was erected in the town of Temple,
N. H. Washington, in his diary,
speaks of glass being made in New
Haven, Conn, IN the year 1889.
One would suppose by the language
he uses that he considers it a new
and quite extraordinary affair. It
was nine years previous to this, and
during the very war whose issue first
enabled the country to commence it's
own manufacturing, that Robert
Hewes of Boston began to carry out
the project which he had long con-
ceived, but had hitherto found imprac-
ticable, if not impossible, under Eng
lish rule-that of making glass in
America for America.
In 1880 Mr.. Hewes selected site
for his factory secure from the British
forces CHS glassbloWers were Hes
slams and Observation-Disclosures who
had deserted from the British army,
and he must have had an eye for the
beautiful in nature. He chose spot
on the north slope of Kidder Noun
tain, near it's base. To the northwest
Mount Monadnock rears his granite
crown, standing like a giant sentinel;
to the north, and running east, are the
Temple mountains, bold and precipi-
tous; to the east a beautiful valley
holds in it's embrace the towns of
Wilton, Milford and Nashua, while to
the northeast Joe English Hill and the
Uncanernucks mountains conceal the
city of Manchester.
The place is now reached by a two
mile walk over an old road, long a
stranger to travel other than by graz
ing COWS and nature loving tourists.
The stone work about the ovens and
the foundations of the building are
all that now remain to remind us that
here was another example of the
American peoples struggle for indie
pendence.

ReaI SIMPLICITY in Dress.

All the Kavirondo warriors carried
their spears, shields and war-paint,
and most of them wore splendid
plumes of ostrich feathers. The
Kavirondo are naked and unashamed.
Both sexes are accustomed to walk
about in the primitive simplicity Of
Nature. Their nudity is based not
upon mere ignorance, but reasoned
policy. They have very strong pre-
JUDGE against the wearing of clothes,
which they declare lead to immoral
ity; and no Kavirondo woman can
attire herself even in the most eXigu-
Gus raiment without sullying her repu-
tation. They are said to be the most
moral of all tribes dwelling on the
