CHAPTER VII.

1t was wretched night two weeks
later. gloomy and winterish. although
spring was old enough to have done
much better. I was dining alone and
rather forlornly when I heard Kim
mems open the outer door of my apart
ment and admit some one. There was
the click of brisk heels along the hall.
and Miss Winstanley beckoning me
through the glass doors OF the dining
room to go on with my dinner.
Don't get up she cried. as Kim
mems threw open the doors and hur-
ried to meet her, do let me be un-
ceremonious, won't you? Go on with
your dinner; I'll sit by you till you've
finished. I've dined"

She unfastened her fluffy black boa
and smiled at me with twinkle in
her eyes-the twinkle that 1 like SO
much.

me of the scent. Mr.. Twining. l am
going to find out whose rose that is in

quickly. They think they grow only
on pretty girls corsages"
i placed her chair and she sank
into 1t, but slipped quickly out to its
edge and sat perched there looking at
me with her keen. eager old eyes.
Il came to talk to you about Bar
bara Hemingway" she said at once.
This engagement of her TO Ankony is
monstrous. There can be but one
reason for it, and that is that Dan
has been getting himself into some sort
of trouble that she has to get him out
of, and could find no other way. Isn't
that It? You know. of course"

CHILDREN SHOWED 1T
Effect of Their Warm Drink In the
Morning.

A year ago I was a wreck from
coffee drinking and was on the point
OF giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
Il was telling friend about it and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum. and 1t is such a
comfort to have something we can
enjoy drinking with the children
y was astonished that she would
allow The children to drink any kind OF
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.
My first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
1t tasted SO fat that l was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the direc-
tions and boiled it fifteen minutes aft
er the boiling began. 1t was decided
success and was completely won by
its rich delicious favour. In a short
time l noticed decided improvement
