At my request Halsey had already
sent word of the fire to the agent

Also, he had called Mr.. Jameson by

If Halsey had only taken me fully
into his confidence through the whole
affair it would have been much SIM
pier. If he had been altogether frank
about Jack Bailey, and If the day after
the fire he had told me what he sus-
pected, there would have been no har-
rowing period for all Of us. with the
boy in danger. But young people re-
fuse to profit by the experience OF
their elders, and sometimes the elders
are the ones to suffer.

to the gown. The hat and the gown
are Of equal Importance now.
How is 1t possible to put such .
price on a hat?" The question has
been asked a thousand times by aston
ished husbands who pay the bills. and
even by the women themselves who
buy.
Well, in the first place. the
plain hat itself is imported from Paris.
and costs the I1illiner from $40 to
$25. as against 50 to $40 only ten
years ago. This hat, though it fol-
lows the prevailing fashion. and
though this fashion may be ridicu-
lous in the extreme, is nevertheless.
artistic in lines and general form.
Perhaps it is desired that the hat
should be green. The artist mil
liner has in her employ a French
man whose business 1t is to color
hats to any shade or tint that may
be wished
The trimmings and materials for

shrewd Scheme stopped Run.

Many years ago.. in consequence OF
q commercial panic, there was a severe
run on a bank in South Wales. and
the small farmers jostled each other
In crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank manager, in
a fit of desperation. suddenly be-
thought him of an e~xpedient. By his
directions a clerk, having heated some
sovereigns in a frying-pan, paid them
over the counter to an anxious appif-
cant. why, they're quite hot!' said
the latter as he took them up. "Of
course was the reply; what else
could you expect? They are only just
out of the mold. We are coming them
by hundreds as fast as we can"
Coming themi" thought the simple
agriculturists; then there Is no fear
of the money running short!" With
this their confidence revived, the PAN
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.

Some time ago I was making an Of.

country and took dinner with n OF
the merchants Of the place. l noticed
q somewhat peculiar flavor Of the cot

replied that 1t was Postum. ! was so
pleased with 1t that, after the meal was
over, I bought a package to carry

Postum for q short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach: that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest Of us.
