asked him to rest while at his home in the neighborhood. The colonel answered that his pressing business would not permit the time. But, as an inducement, the old gentleman mentioned that among the guests at his house was the handsomest young widow in all Virginia! That changed matters. The young colonel smiled, hesitated, and then-well, then he decided that he had more time than he had supposed!
 Upon reaching the house he was in- troduced to the fascinating widow, Mrs. Martha Parke Custis, and we can imagine the coy glances of this enticing young creature, for it was a case of love at first sight. And in stead of getting away in few hours as he had intended, old Bishop, the colonels servant, held his horse in readiness for hours and hours. But his master didn't come. In fact his delighted host had little difficulty in persuading him to stay until the next day.
 Washington had just returned from brilliant campaign, was gallant, young and handsome, and the clever widow didn't lose any time bringing down her game! A few days later Col. Washington visited Mrs. Custis at her own beautiful home and this time he offered his heart and sword with suc- cess. It is quite evident that a pro- pitious reception awaited him, for on the way to the house he asked slave if Mrs. Custis was at home, and he said, Yes, sah, reckon you'se the gentleman what's 'spected." They did not meet again till their marriage six months later.
 At that. time Martha Custis was 27 years old-just three months younger than her fiance. She was short, had eyes that snapped her manner was very gay, and she was thought by some to be the most beautiful woman in America. She was the wealthiest woman in the old dominion and the mother of four children, two of whom were living. The marriage took place at the home of the bride in January. 1759. The exact date is uncertain.

 The price of a bone grinder is not great, but it is sometimes unhandy or impossible to get good supply of bones. It is good scheme to make arrangements with butcher for bones before buying the grinder.

In the third place, one would have to bore hole i'll order to drive them into the frame, for the reason that tho hammer-head would strike one side of the line of penetra- tion of the wood, bending the nail over. Taking it all in all, the ordinary staple is much easier to insert, and far cheaper.

New Hair Decoration.

The Grecian tunic effects have brought out new hair decorations in the shape of filets. These seem to be the only correct coiffure adornments when a gown built on Grecian lines is worn, and bands of gold, silver and of jet are seen in a number of designs.
 There is the single wide filet, those fashioned of three narrow strands, and third patterned in coronet shape narrowing at the sides to single slight band in the back.

BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.
There's c. Reason"


 A lady writer who not only has done good literary work, but reared a fam fly, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes:
 T am an enthusiastic proclaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I for merly had no appetite in the morning and for 8 years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them.
 Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, doughnuts or anything l happened to find. Being a writer, at times my head felt heavy and my brain asleep. When read of Grape-Nuts 1 began eating it every morning, also gave it to the children, including my 10 months old baby, who soon grew as fat as a little pig, good natured and contented.
 T wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, began eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk, instead of my usual indi- gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night.
 q grew plump, nerves strong, and when I wrote my brain was active and clear; indeed, the dull head pain never returned"

side Miss Mary Cary) that in great measure cheats my sorrow and deject- edness tho not so as to draw my thoughts from your Parts. I could wish to be with you down there with all my heart but as it is thing al most impractakable, I shall rest my self where I am with hopes of shortly having some minutes of your transac- tions.''
 So we find the susceptible George interested in three fair damsels at once: Sally" the "Lowland Beauty" and Miss Mary Cary, which recalls the story of the man who could never shoot bird, because just as he had aimed and was ready to shoot at one bird another bird flew in the way.
 In 1753 Lucy Grymes, the Lowland Beauty, married Henry Lee and be came the mother of "Light-horse Harry" the Custer of the revolution.
 One of Washington's most serious love affairs was with Miss Mary Cary, and there is no doubt that she was in love with him, but her father pre- vented the marriage by handing out the Alaskan negative.
 Miss Cary afterwards married young swell, Edward Ambler, who died young, and his pretty widow was often a guest at Mount Vernon after Washington's marriage. The Cary romance extended over several years, but in the meantime there were others It is consoling to know that Washington was human enough to oc- casionally do something amateurish, and the thing he fell down on hardest was writing poetry. The following was composed when he was major and about 20 years old. It was ad- dressed to Miss Betsy Fauntleroy: "Oh, ye Gods why should my Poor Re-
 sistless Heart

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner of Any State Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
 Purity of Grape-Nuts.

Every analysis undertaken shows this food to be made strictly of Wheat and Barley, treated by our processes to partially transform the starch parts into form of Sugar, and there- fore much easier to digest.
 Our claim that it is a Food for Brain and Nerve Centres" is based upon the fact that certain parts of Wheat and Barley (which we use) con- tain Natures brain and building ingredients, viz: Phosphate of Pot ash, and the way we prepare the food makes it easy to digest and assimilate.
 Dr. Geo. w. Carey in his book on "The Biochemic System of Medicine" says:
 When the medical profession fully understands the nature and range of the phosphate of potassium, insane asylums will no longer be needed.
 The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
 This salt unites with albumen, and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve fluid, or the gray matter of the brain.
 Of course, there is trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve-fuid, but potassium phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by it's own law of affinity, all things needed to manu- facture the elixir of life. Therefore, when nervous symptoms arise, due to the fact that the nerve-f1uid has been exhausted from any cause, the phos- phate of potassium is the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the deficiency.
 "The ills arising from too rapidly consuming the gray matter of the brain cannot be overestimated.
 Phosphate of Potash, is to my mind, the most wonderful curative agent ever discovered by man, and the blessings it has already conferred on the race are many. But what shall the harvest be when physicians everywhere fully understand the part this wonderful salt plays in the processes of life? It will do as much as can be done through physiology to make a heaven on earth.
 Let the overworked business man take it and go home good-tempered. Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung from attending to sick children or en- tertaining company, take it and note how quickly the equilibrium will be restored and calm and reason assert her throne. No provings' are required here. We find this potassium salt largely predominates in nerve-fuid, and that a deficiency produces we'll defined symptoms. The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To SUD- ply deficiencies-this is the only law of cure"
 Please observe that Phosphate of Potash is not properly of the drug shop variety but is best prepared by "Old Mother Nature" and stored in the grains ready for use by mankind. Those who have been helped to better health by the use of GrapeNuts are legion.
 There's s Reason"

Satin of the soft, clingy sort is the favored material for evening and re- ception gowns and the dainty canary and rich golden yellows lead in popu- larit- for colors. The gown illustrated is the latter shade. It has a long, round skirt, trimmed at bottom with clusters of half-inch tucks. Down the front is a panel of antique lace, through which runs thread of gold. Some lace is elaborately used on the decollete bodice, which has kimono sleeves, finished with fiounce of em- broidered yellow chiffon. The accom- panying hat is brown velvet, with shaded yellow and brown plumes.
