little mushrooms being the sort of
headgear liked for little maids who
will spend a good part Of their time
in the country or else wear rather
simple wash frocks all summer long
in town. The top hat is Of white
linen with a hand-scalloped edge and
a garnish Of pink satin ribbon. The
lower one is of white duck, braided
and embroidered, and Of course each
hat may be unbuttoned from the crown
for laundering.
This washable species OF millinery
is very convenient for the wee girls
who soon ruin more elegant hats,
and despite its simplicity such MILL
merry has, nevertheless, very choice
air. The dainty little hats can easily
be made at home, and if there is no
gift for the embroidery and braiding
stitching may finish the edgs.

Vienna can boast curious eccen-
trio, who turns life upside down,
rich young Pole, who lives in sumptu-
Gus style, but always summons his
servants by bugle call. His favorite
pastime is driving an omnibus, at
tired like an ordinary busman. and,
though he is said to spend a fortune
each year in clothes, he wears no gar
ment until it has been worn by his
valet. He has astonished the guests
at a ball by appearing in a costume
of pure white, save for the shirt and
tie, which were black. To complete
his oddities, when dining, which he
invariably does alone at table d'hote,
he reverses the usual order, begin
ming his meal with the sweets and
ending with the soup.

THE OLD PLEA
He "Dldn't Know II Was Loaded"

The coffee drinker seldom realizes
that coffee contains the drug, caffeine,
a severe poison to the heart and
nerves, causing many forms of dis
ease, noticeably dyspepsia.
81 was lover of coffee and used it
for many years. and did not realize the
bad effects l was suffering from it's
use. (Tea is just as injurious as cot
fee because 1t, too, contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)
"At first l was troubled with indiges-
ton. did not attribute the trouble
to the use of coffee, but thought it
arose from other causes. With these
attacks had sick headache, nausea
and vomiting, Finally my stomach

Il consulted a physician; was told
all my troubles came from indiges-

the coffee, and kept on with the trou-

grow worse from year to year until 1t
developed into chronic diarrhea, nau.

became a mere shadow, reduced from
159 to 1928 pounds.

convinced my days were numbered.

NEW WAY TO CLEAN COFFEE
Colorado Man lnVents Rather compll.
Gated Apparatus for Separating
Beans Into Sizes.

A rather complicated but ingenious
apparatus for cleaning coffee, which
results in its separation into three
sizes Of beans, has been patented by
a Colorado man. A receiving drum
passes down through a suction pipe
and discharges over a cone-shaped sep
arator. AS the coffee falls, an upward
draft is created by suction, which car
ries the fine particles through the pipe
and down into chamber on the other
side, where all that is hopeless waste
is expelled through a series of slots
and such fine particles as can be used

froek is still TO be collarless and short

TO add a guimpe and undersleeve Of

In point of coats and headgear, the
mother who wants her child TO look
well must surely consider the styles
set forth by the juvenile shops, for
somehow these people seem to get the
best ideas going for children's wraps
and millinery. There is a delicious
skimpiness about the trimmings of
the little hats-just enough and no
more--and while suggesting the adult
cuts OF older garments the wraps are
also simple and bewitching. With
the long coat there is tendency to

short OF the skirt bottom and often
quite as short as the knees. For

OF these curtailed coats in pongees Of
various sorts, silk, poplin, satin and
lined yelling. The pongee affairs
sported deep collars and cuffs of the
popular ratine lace, the collars often
with the deep back dip used for the
