will derive.
Let me tell you how to prepare
for the day off. Procure boxes, as
many as there will be persons in your
picnic party. Purchase paper nap

eide on your provisions.
Make your sandwiches Of nuts,
chopped olives, salmon, f1nely-minced
meats, mixed figs and raisins. Re-
move the crust from all bread, for no
one ever eats 1t anyway. Cut the
sandwiches In narrow strips and pack

box. You will line each box with a
paper napkin. Place in fruit, which
Is always paIatable, cakes that do not
soften; and be careful to separate
each from the other variety so that

DANGER IN LICKING STAMPS
Practice Has Been Known to Gauss
Acute Inflammation of the
Tongue.

Do tho people who jeer at the eau
tious ones who refuse to lick a post
age stamp as "cranks" know that there
is a defined disease known 40 the
postage stamp tongue?"
This is an acute Inflammation Of the
tongue, directly traced to the germs to
be found on the gummed side OF stamp
or envelope.
Other and rnore serious diseases
have been caused by this habit that Is
so universal and seems SO harmless.
One throat specialist In a hospital
declares that many chronic affections
OF the throat are found among persons
who have rs their livelihood the ad.
dressing and stamping of envelopes.
Bad skin diseases have ben known
to follow this habit, and 1t has even
caused pulmonary troubles.
1t is after all but a habit. and a bad
one. 1t takes no more time and Is
quite as easy to moisten the stamp
with a damp sponge or rag.
Where many letters must be
stamped and sealed there are good pa
tent inventions by which the sponge

guessed how unhappy she was. She
knew that by her own indiscretion she
was in danger Of losing all she had
won, her position in society, her place
in the affections of her husband,
everything.
When she married Mr.. Jeffries it
was with deliberate calculation. She
did not love him, but, being ambitious.
she did not hesitate to deceive him.
He wal rich, he could give her that
prominent position in society for
which she yearned. The fact that
she was already engaged to a nan for
whom she did care did not deter her
for a moment from her set purpose.
She had met Robert Underwood years
before. He was then a college boy,
tall, handsome, clever. She fell in
love with him and they became en-
gagged. AS she grew more sophisticat-
ed she saw the folly Of their youthful
%infatuation. Underwood was without
fortune, his future uncertain. While
in this uncertain state Of mind she
met Mr.. Jefrries, then a widower, at
a reception. The banker was attract
ed to her and being a business man
he did things quickly. He proposed
and was accepted, all in the brief
time of-fve minutes. Robert Under
wood and the romance of her girlhood
were sacrificed without question when
it came to reaching a prompt decision.
She wrote Underwood a brief letter
Of farewell, telling him that the action
she had taken was really for the best
interests of them both. Underwood
made no reply and for months did not
attempt to go near her. Then he mel
her in public. There was a r~econcilia
ton. He exerted the old spell-on the
married woman. Cold and Indifferent
to her husband, Alicia found 1t anus
ing to have her old lover paying hel
court and the danger Of discovery only

pocketed the money, forgetting to &C
count to the owners for the sums they
brought. The dealers demanded resti-
tuition or a settlement and Underwood,
~dreading exposure, had to hustle
around to raise enough money to
make up the deficiency in order to
avoid prosecution. In this way he
lived from day to day borrowing from
Peter to settle with Paul, and on one
or two occasions he had not been
ashamed to borrow from Mrs. Jcffries
herself.
Alicia lent the money more because
she feared ridicule than from any real
desire to oblige Underwood. She had
long since become disguised with him.
The mans real character was now
plainly revealed to her. He was an
adventurer, little better than a COM
non crook. She congratulated her
self on her narrow escape. Suppose
she had married him-the horror OF
it, Yet the next instant she was
filled with CONSERVATION. She had
allowed him to become so intimate
that it was difficult to break off with
him all at once. She realized that
with a man Of that character the in
evitable must come. There would be
a disgraceful scandal. She would be
mixed up in it, her husbands eyes
! would be opened to her folly, 1t might
ruin her entire life. She must end II
now-once for all. She had already
given him to understand that theil
intimacy must cease. Now he must
stop his visits to her house and de
sigt from trapping her friends into his
many schemes. She had written hin
that morning forbidding him to come
to the house this evening. She was
done with him forever.
These thoughts were responsible fol
, the frown on the beautiful Mrs. JET
fries bejeweled brow that particular
Saturday evening. Alicia gave a sigh
and was drawing on her long kit
gloves before the glass, when sudden
ly a maid entered and rendered hel
mistress a note. Alicia knew thu
handwriting only too well. She tor

Among evening coats there are two

There 's the reversible coat, made

Of ONE brighter hue on the other,

entirely edged with a silk cord. Silk
cord Is also used for the handles,

either side, and the ends Of the cords
are carried into three little loops. One
handle Is made to reach just above the
top of the case, while the other Is con-
siderably longer, the object Of this
being that the longer handle may be
slipped through the shorter one, and
then pulled tight, so that the books can
not possibly fall out, A glance at the

might be worked upon one side, and
some pretty little floral design on the

gave the intrigue additional zest and
charm. She did not lead Underwood
to believe that he could induce her to
forget her duty to MI. Jefries, but
she was foolish enough to encourage
a dangerous intimacy. She thought
she was strong enough to be able to
call a halt whenever she would be SO
disposed, but as is often the Ease she
overestimated her powers. The in
timacy grew. Underwood became
holder, claiming and obtaining special
privileges. He DON realized that he
had the upper hand and he traded on
it. Under her patronage he was in
vited everywhere. He practically lived
on her friends. He borrowed their
money and cheated them at cards.
His real character was soon known to
all, but no one dared expose him for
fear of offending the influential Mrs.
Jeffries. Realizing this, Underwood
continued his depredations until he
became a sort Of social highwayman.
He had no legltlmate source OF In

on credit furnished them sc gorgeous

pers devoted columns to the magnif-

treasures they contained. Art deal
ers all over the country offered him
liberal commissions If he would dis
pose of expensive objets dart to his
friends. He entered in business rela-
ton with several firms and soon his
rooms became a veritable bazaar for
art curios of all kinds. Mrs. Jeffries'
friends paid exorbitant prices fer
some of the stuff and Underwood

TO ORNAMENT THE C0IFFURE
JeweIed Butterflies Are Extremely
Popular Among the Smartest Of
Fashions Elect

Butterflies Of all descriptions are
immensely popular for the ornamen-
tation of the couture. The most pop
ular is a s%cintillating jeweled fly
poised on the hair in a most bewitch-
Ing fashion.
Some of them are Of velvet border
ed with cleaning rows of paillettes,
or In metal tissue and lace.
Black and white butterflies mounted
on a bit of colored chiffon have a
most charming effect. The little touch
of color just visible through the hair
provides a great addition to the
couture, while the widespread lace
wings have a much lighter effect than
the velvet.
A satin ribbon or rosette mounted
on a comb is another new hair orRa-
ment, and is very pretty for after
noon wear.
The newest pandeau Is simplicity
itself, made of q piece Of ribbon vel
vet embroidered In the Greek key
pattern in dark-colored beads for day
wear. while in the evening the en-
broldery is Of gold paillettes or mock
diamonds, which glitter with every
movement Of the wearer.
Other fashionable styles Of hair
decoration include the Juliet caps in
gold or silver net, with little tassels
hanging over the ears; bandeaux OF
metal ribbon, with bright-colored RIB
bon twisted down the center and
caught down with little rosettes at
the sides, and bandeaux with a large
cabochon In the center.

Turning to the maid, she said:

door when her mistress suddenly re.

Taking from her dainty escritoire q
sheet of perfumed notepaper, she
wrote hurriedly as follows:

servants"
Quickly folding the note, she
crushed 1t into an envelope, sealed it,
handed 1t to the girl, and said:
Give that to the messenger"
The servant disappeared and Alicia
resumed her work of drawing on her
gloves in front Of her mirror. How
dare he write her such a letter? Was
her house to be made the headquar-
tiers for his swindllng schemes? Did
he want to cheat more of her friends?
The more she thought Of all he had
done, the angrier she became. Her
eyes flashed and her bosom heaved
with indignation. She wondered
what her husband, the soul Of honor,
would say IL he suspected that she
had permitted a man of Underwood's
character to use his home for his dis.

All at once she felt something

1t was her husband who had entered
the room quietly.

He noticed her preoccupied look
and, with some concern, he demanded:

said, hastily.
He looked at her closely and she
averted her eyes. Mr.. Jeffries often
wondered If he had made a mistake,
He felt that this woman to whom he
had given his nam did not love HIM
but his vanity as much as his pride
prevented him from acknowledging
it, eve to himself. After all, what
did he care? She was a companion
she graced his home and looked altar

reasonable man should expect any
