COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.

1t Is difficult to make people believe
person out of every three, but people
are slowly finding 1t out, although
thousands of them suffer terribly be-
fore they discover the fact.
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee / became
restless, nervous and excited, so that 1
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss Of sleep, which got
worse and worse.
"a lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause OF my trouble, and suggested
that l try Postum. l laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted so hard that l finally had
some Postum made. / have been u.s.
ing it in place Of coffee ever since, for
/ noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation disappeared. be-
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the old
coffee, so what was the use of stick
ing to a beverage that was injuring
me?
"One day on an excursion up the
country / remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear
ance. She explained that some time
before she had quit using coffee and
taken to Postum. She had gained
number of pounds and her former pal
pitation OF the heart, humming in the
ears, trembling of the hands and legs
and other disagreeable feelings had
disappeared. She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was
very much surprised to find that had
already made the change.
"She said her brother had also re-
ceived great benefits from leaving of
coffee and taking on Postum" There's
a reason"

REVIVAL OF COIFFURE STYLE
Eighteenth Century Idea in Hair
Dressing Likely to Be Estab-
lished Again.

The sketch shows an effective re-
vival of the 18th century style of hair
dressing. In this case the hair is ar
ranged low on the forehead and is
held in place by band of silver rib
bon. At the back it is arranged in
loose curls and coils and one careless
curl is permitted to fall over the shoul-
ders.
The latter head-dress would look ex-
ceedingly well if accompanied by a
picturesque dress of lowered taffetas,

Derbvs of Straw.

Taffeta and hemp are being used TO
make some Of the smartest of stiff
hats. Panama hats are also being
shown, these being very large and
trimmed with wings as a rule.
But one of the most popular shapes
seems to be the derby. made on much
the same lines of the derby OF the
winter. This Is rather severe, but is
becoming to the young woman. and it
cannot be denied that when 1t is be-
coming 1t is very, very smart in APP
pearance.

Use Tweezers.

When pulling threads from hem
stitching or when working towels
with cross-stitch embroidery, use a
pair OF tweezers.
The fingers will be saved in this
manner.
All who have suffered from sore
fingers due to pulling threads viii
realize the value OF this suggestion.
Tweezers are excellent for pulling
hastings. Try them and you will al
ways have a pair handy.

A Chicago family which employs as

used some sort of white powder in

the bell.
One evening when there were
guests at dinner, one of them CON-

CHAPTER XXlV.-Continued.

He wanted to tell her that the girl
Dan married should be the kind of
woman his mother was, but Ruggles
couldn't bring himself to say the
words. Now, as he sat near her, he
was growing so complex that his
brain was turning round. He heard
her murmur:
Il told you I knew your act. Mr..
Ruggles. 1t isn't any use"
This brought him back to his posi-
tion and once more he leaned toward
her and, in a different tone from the
one he had intended to use, mur-
INJURED:
you don't know. You haven't any
idea. l do ask you to let Dan go,
that's a fact. l have got something
else to propose in its place. 1t amt
quite the same, but it is clear-marry
mel"
She gave a little exclamation. A
slight smile rippled over her face like
the sunset across pale pool at dawn.
Laugh" he said humbly; don't
keep in. ! know / am old-fashioned as
the deuce, and me and Dan is quite
contrast, but l mean just what l
say, my dear"
She controlled her amusement, If it
was that 1t almost made her cry
with mirth, and she couldn't help 1t.
Between laughing breaths she said to
him:
"Oh, is II all for Dams sake, Mr..
Ruggles? Is it?" And then, biting
her lips and looking at him out of
her beautiful eyes. she said: II know
il isl know 1t isl beg your par
dom"
Il asked a girl once when I was
poor-too poor. Now this is the Sec
.ond time in my life. l mean just what
I say. I'll make you kind husband.
! am fifty-five, hale as a nut. l dare
say you have had many better of
fers."
"Oh, DEAR" she breathed "oh, dear.
please-please stop!"
But don't expect you to marry me
for anything but my money"
Ruggles put his cigar down on the
edge of the table. He looked at his
chair meditatively, he took out his
silk handkerchief. polished UP his
glasses, readjusted them, put them on
and then looked at her.
Now" he said, IL am going to trust
you with something, and / know you
will keep my secret for me. This
shows you little bit of what ! think
about you. Dan Blair hasn't got a red
cent. He has nothing but what l give
him. There's false title to all that
land on the Bentley claim. The whole
thing came up when l was home and
the original company, of which l own
three-quarters of the stock, holdsEJhe
clear titles to the Blairtown mines. II
all belongs now to me, IL | choose TO
present my documents. Dan knows
nothing about this-not a word"
The actress had never come up TO
such a dramatic point in any of her
plays. With her hands folded in her
fan she looked at him steadily, and
he could not understand the express
sion that crossed her face. lie heard
her exclamation: "Oh, gracious!"
"I've brought the papers back with
me-" said the westerner, "and IL In
between you and me how we act. II
Dan marries you will be bound to
do what old Blair would have done
cut him off-let him feel his feet on
the ground, and the result of his own
folly"
He had taken his glasses off while
he made this assertion. Now he put
= them on again.

Colored hats OF braid, with rolling
brim made on wire frames and
trimmed with changeable taffeta, are
used for darker hats. Immense bows
Of ribbon, with standing loops, form
the trims. Bordered and fancy rib
bons are used for these big ribbon
decorations and loops are wired to
keep them in the outstanding posi-
tions.
Although but one trimming material
is used, or at most two, on this class
of millinery-ample quantities are nee.
essary of this single material. Bows
are very large, sweeping like wings,
from the body of the hat. But some
small fancy feather ornaments are eff.
fectively used on small shapes. They
are vivid in coloring as rule, with
cerise and primrose the favorites and
the strongest of bright green's next.
1t is already settled that black and
white will have a great vogue in the
coming midsummer.

shape is the thing in these hats,
with trimming of the simplest charac-
ter. Shapes have been carefully con-
sidered and are so well balanced and
beautiful that trimmings are mere ac-
cessories used to accentuate it's lines,
to repeat or reflect its expression or to
accentuate its peculiarities.
These hats must be properly poised
on the head and the trimming placed
to suit the face of the wearer. But 1t
must serve purpose on the hat and
not interfere with it's hues or contra
dict them.
Two models in white and black are
shown here trimmed with white wings
and ribbon. The large round shape is
faced with black velvet. The black
milans and hemps trimmed with white
are very chic.
