A man said to me- What a musical voice it isl" I denied it. Seductive voice it is. and perhaps he is as patient as the spider who must have sung in same num- Der to the fly, twill you walk into my parlor?
 "As soft as the sigh of woman's love, as merry as the laugh of careless childhood, as sad as the sound of winter wind. mourning at midnight; as grand as the tread of thrice ten thousand soldiers fighting for a nations freedom?"
 That was not the voice that Gates gave us. It was soft enough, but it vibrated with the jingling of the guineas that helps the hurt that honor feels.

Guard Your Baby Against the Summer

ASoAaaOl IAAV OuAAasaAS
 " If only the baby gets through the summer all right " In thou sands of mothers minds that thought is running night and day. Yet sum- mer need hold no terror for you if the baby is fed right. Nestle's Food will make this summer easy for you, as it has made the summer easy for other mothers for forty years.
 You are right to guard against the Summer. Summer diarrhea is the cause of more deaths than all the other children's diseases put together, and its chief cause is impure milk Time and again, doctors have said that milk, as 1t comes from the COW, is no substitute for mothers milk; because cows milk contains indigestible curds and because it is full of germs.
 But cows milk contains much that is good for the baby. Preserve the good parts, eliminate the bad parts, add some vital elements-and the result is Nestle's Food. Mothers and doctors have agreed in consider ing it the best substitute for mothers milk for two generations and that's because it contains practically the same elements as mothers milk.
 Nestle's Food is the purest, richest cows milk, procured in sanitary dairies, from selected cows, purified and modified under scien- tihc directions, and reduced to a powder. Just add water, boil 1t two minutes and it is all ready for the baby-a delicate, perfect, digest ible, nourishing food that will ward of the summer terrors, and bring your baby through 'thei hot days, cheerful and happy.
 For forty years mothers have relied on Nestle's. For forty summers they have found that the bone and muscle supplied by Nestle's fought off summer disease. You will find that, helped out by Nestle's Food, your baby, too, will meet the summer as lightly as the

She is the kind thatlends life and charm to any crowd; she's like sparkling bur gundy." where so many other women are like promo seltzers.
 Bvery ybody was talking against time: mo- body knew exactly what they were saying and everybody wondered what could be the matter with the star of the party.
 History that might have delighted her five minutes earlier-and she adores a good story-now only aroused a faint gllmmer of a smile.
 Her laugh was like champagne, with the bubbles all gone.
 Her mind was working along other lines.
 She was facing a problem and she was trying to see her way out.
 Afar down the green slope of the club house hills she looked wistfully at the white-clad golfers, coming and going.
 They all seemed so far away now, in world that had suddenly grown black a world that 15 minutes before was all beauty and joy and sweetness over a sugarless lemonade.
 The unhappy bachelor felt that the girls depression was spreadngl
 Ill his per-fervd imagination he felt that the people playing tennis-those. sit | ting on the porch-even the little "cad dies themselves, were not insensible to it. 1 It was like ripple in the water
 In his eyes if this state continued for another half hour a pail would lie over the entire world
 Something must be done.
 What's the matter?" he pleaded. his heart in his voice and eyes as he gazed al her.
 You look as if you might have just re- celved telegraphic message from the Black Hand that they were going to mur- der your grandmother" he continued with faint ripple of a smile, in his effort to be funny. What is the matter?"
 But the girl was in no mood to appre- ciate a frivolous ject.
 His eyes followed her glances around the circle of people on the lawn slipping tea and chatting merrily.
 Her blue eyes alone were filled with an acute unhappiness.
 Finally, after she has searched the whole universe with those beautiful blue eyes she rested them intently upon her slim arched little foot. which peeped from beneath her silken skirts.
 Ahl who in all this wide, wide world was so unhappy as she!
 What is the matter?" the bachelor pleaded once more as he looked into her anguished face.
 Put not your faith" she confded soft ly to his eager ears, '1n princes, and never never trust silk stocking!"
