In keeping out OF dangers that her
needless little friend would rush into
were 1t not for her calm, staying hand
grasping her firmly and holding her
forcibly back.
The coquette who is led by her heart
instead of her head is almost sure to
pick up broken stick when it comes
to matrimony. Not so the prude. The
roues and free lances pass her by,
knowing full well she is not for them
The man who appreciates sense and
morals, strict unto prudery, lays his
fortune at her feet and gives his heart
to her for safe keeping.
Two rolliclsing, merry hearted girls
do not make the most desirable com
panions for each other on a summer
outing. Each feels that she has no
restraining power from the pleasures
which she would indulge in. yet knows
they are not for her best interest. She
picks up strange acquaintances that
had best be let alone, makes wrong
friends among women which she may
have cause to regret later. The road
Of the coquette is filled with unex-
pected turns and happenings. OF
course prudishness may be carried too
far. But at the worst it is better than
coquetry. which she cannot keep up
long. Coquettes should have a good
strain of prudery underlining their
light badinage. Prudes might profit
by having a spice Of coquetry in their
quiet natures.

A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect.

No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a
trained nurse.
Speaking of coffee. a nurse in Pa.
writes: Il used to drink strong cof-
fee myself, and suffered greatly from
headaches and indigestion.
while on a visit to my brothers I
had good chance to try Postum, for
they drank 1t altogether in place of
coffee. After using Postum two weeks
found l was much benefited and
finally my headaches disappeared and
also the Indigestion

II observe curious fact about
Postum when used by mothers. 1t

where coffee Is inclined to dry It
up. and where tea causes nervousness.
II find trouble in getting servants
to make Postum properly. But when

If two girl chums employed in the
same establishment go together for
summer outing they are both supposed
to have the same likings. enjoy the
same pleasures. This is not always
the case. however. Mere often than
not merry little coquette is attracted
to the girl who is her opposite in dis
position-quiet and severely dignifed
almost to prudishness.
The girl with bright eyes and win
ming smiles is sought after by gay roll

simply to have a good time on their
