These gentle. hints, these loving
hints, remind me of old Uncle Calhoun
Clay.
Uncle Gals daughter. Lii. had a
sweetheart, one Washington White.
and Washington had the habit OF be-
ginning his evening calls very early
at supper time, in fact. Uncle Cal was
the soul of hospitality, but. not being
rich man, he found it difficult TO feed
Wash five or six times a week, and so
he told his wife and daughter he d
have to give the young man hint. Just
a gentle hint, about how the land lay
So the next time young Washing
ton White turned up for supper. old
Uncle Cal from the head of the table
first asked the blessing; and then
looked at the unwelcome guest over
his glasses and said:
Look-a-heah, Misto Wash. All has
too wuk mighty hard TO ter make a

r HE breakfast cap still basks in the
i sunlight of feminine favor, and as
long as it holds it's place of high es-
TEEN we may expect to find it de-
parting from the simplicity which
marked its early days. From the COM
bination of pulled crown and falling
ruffle it has excursioned into many
new fields. There are so many varie-
ties of caps worn by the women of
other countries that new sources of in
spiration will certainly not be hard
to find.
The Dutch bonnet is the source from
which the lace cap shown here Dor
rowed its outlines. The pointed aUd
flaring sides of the original have been
exaggerated in the copy. 1t is made
of lace, one of the fairly heavy all
over patterns, although wide edgings
answer the purpose as well. The cap
is cut in two pieces. There is a cir.
Gle about six inches in diameter for
the crown piece and a shaped portion
for the front This portion is wired
and set on to the crown with a small
piping of satin. The edge is finished
with little frill of very narrow val
lace

too large to swallow whole, and not

LIGHT BOOZE.
Do You Drink IL?

A minister's wife had quite o tus-
sic with coffee and her experience is
interesting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
/ became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and it was quite
natural that i should want hot cup
of coffee about that time. / could
keep awake better.
After three of four years of cof-
fee drinking, became a nervous wreck
and thought that 1 simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
was subject to frequent bilious at
lacks, sometimes so severe as to
keep me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so l resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum, and for q
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the coffee drug,
but liked the taste Of Postum, and
that answered for the breakfast bev-
erage all right.

COLORADO ECHO EXPLODED
Stage Driver Explaining Beauties of
Rocky Mountains to Tourists
Gets Startling Answer.

Senator Charles S. Thomas of Colo
RADIO delights to tell this joke on his
own beloved Rocky mountains:
We have the most wonderful
scenery in the world out in Colorado,

lures handiwork. AS for our echoes
listen to this:
A guide was taking a party Of tour
ISIS by coach through the mountains
west OF Denver. AS they descended the
sue or a steep canyon he halted the
coach and ordered his party to alight.
lhen, ranging them up along the road
side, he spoke:
In this canyon, ladies and gentle
men, is the most remarkable echo in
the state; indeed, probably the most
wonderful in the United States, and.
possibly, in the world. Now, listen!'
Forming his hands like a mega
phone, he shouted across the empty
void of the canyon:
Hello-o-o-o-ol'
In few seconds there came from
the opposite side of the canyon in
tones like human voice the reply:
Hello-o-o-o-!'
Wonderful! Marvelousr exclaimed
the members of the party, as a buzz of
admiration ran through the ranked
line.
Now, just listen to this said the
guide, proud Of his little show, and,
again raising his hands to his mouth,
he shouted:
What are y doing over there?'
And from the tangled thicket that
clothed the opposite wall the echo an.

bon, is used for the decoration of the
new arrival among breakfast caps.
This is quite an original touch. 1t is
sewed fiat on the lace and at intervals
small chiffon roses. not larger than
an ordinary thimble, are set on the
cord.
There are several attractive new
models in breakfast caps that are
shown in the larger stores. One no.
ticeable example has a puffed crown
of white chiffon with fine black brus-
sells net over it and a frill of white
net with black lace. The combina-
ton of net and chiffon in two colors
or one color and white, has resulted
in very becoming and gay little head
pieces. Ribbons and chiffon roses are
the main dependence of their makers
when it comes to a choice of trim
ming.
However odd and pretty these new
caps, that are patterned after the ma
tional headdresses of the women over
sea, may be. the favorite breakfast
headdress will remain as it has BEEN,
a soft puff for the crown of the head,
and frill of lace about the face and
neck.
