and some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out Oh
the window and saw him passing Dy-
He carried neatly rolled umpreha
though Il hardly threatened rain.
Quick as a flash she answered her
uuestioner, HE carries an umbrella
whether it's raining % not-he Is

But" said her friend. also looking
out Of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an UNI
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. but
that's another NATTER don't like MIN
anyhow-and besides, 1t all depends ON
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That Is the position some people nave
taken regarding that wholesome ana
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said a good many unkind things
about 1t and In each instance have mad
1t proved to them that their tales were
NOT true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf-
fein0that4t contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against It.
Then, like the old lady who was remind.
ed of son William, they were reminded
that il Is the caffeine in their faVorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even moro
than In Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism OF
CocaCola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
ladys-they say "But that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and liks
ing tea or coffee, 1t all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine Is caffeine, and IL 1t is not
harmful In one 1t can't be harmful in
another. We all know that 1t is not
harmful In tea or coffee-that 1t Is
really helpful in whatever it iszthis
is bound to include Coca.Cola.
OF course. the truth is, that having
tcrted an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved tc
be no reasons at all. they are graspinS
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain prejudice. So you see. after
all, It all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let US be fair.-Adv.

Beauty Of the Spanish Type.

Marie Freese is in reality descend
ant Of Spanish and German ancestors.
She clings to the Spanish type OF
lithesome physical beauty that be-
slows upon the Latin race the strik-
Ing visage and well-molded form.
Only the gold-brown hair is the tell
tale imprint of German ancestry. It
piles high on her head, and there,
held by an embroidered bandeaux. Is
fitting crown to the glowing brown
eyes that shed tender sympathy and
mouth that breaks into a wonderful
smile
There is the joyousness Of youth
in those sparkling orbs and the droop-
ing, slender shoulders sheltered by a
Spanish shawl drawn close around her
plump throat. There upon the hand is
the tell-tale pledge Of "I'll cherish and
love forever"-the diamond ring.
The family of Prince August are
holders of titles that extend back
through centuries and with a rank
next to that of the emperor.

But WIN tho Prince obeyY

But will Prince August go, should
his ruling lord decree? No answer
comes from his lips: only sharp
shrug OF the shoulders, fash of the
light blue eyes and a heightening of
his facial pallor. He may-and he
may not. The reader may conclude as
he pleases.
The luster of love CLEANS from be-
meath the dropping eyelashes when
you ask Miss Marie to unfold the Sc
cret of an international betrothal that
may or may not-culminate in the hap

with the brilliant jade necklace that

neck.
