PROBLEM FOR THE MAIDENs
In Hot Weather Will They Have to
Come to Costume Somewhat
Resembling Ewes?

Jerome S. McWade, the wealthy Du-
luth connoisseur, said at recent din
ner:
Il spent the winter on the Riviera.
The winter fashions were really
shocking shocking, that is to Com
stock minds. Nothing shocks me.
But in the evening at the Nice
Country club dances young girls
would wear sleeveless gowns that left
the back quite bare from the waist
up. They could say truly-ha, ha, ha!
that they hadn't stitch on their
backs, eh? And in the afternoon at
the dansants young girls would wear
gowns that were either slashed to
the knee, or else that were-a still
subtler device-transparen to the
knees. permitting the slim and silken
limb to gleam through panel of lace
or tulle.
"A western millionaire at the Ne
gresco, in Nice, on seeing his three
daughters in gowns of this radical
type, gave a loud laugh one day last
winter and said:
by jingo, girls, what will you leave
off when the hot weather comes?"--

Air Brakes for Aerorlanes,

A highly ingenious device is about
to be embodied in a new British aero
plane now nearing completion. A diff
ficult problem, which has always con-
fronted the aeroplane designers, has
been that of enabling machines to
land at reasonably slow speed and
yet fly as fast as possible. The neces
sity of this provision may be gagged
from the fact that the modern aero
plane, with it's full load, weighs the
better part of a ton, and that the
usual flying speeds range from sixty
to eighty miles an hour. Accordingly,
Mr.. A. V. Roe, the well-known de-
signer, has adopted the expedient of
providing his latest biplane with what
he termed "air brakes. These con.
sist of flaps hinged to the rear of the
planes, capable Of being turned at
right angles to the direction of fight,
with the object of enabling the pilot
to reduce his speed materially pre-
paratory to alighting.

Il was greatly troubled with my
stomach, complexion was blotchy and

sharp pains and would have to lie

when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe
headache.
while visiting my mother-in-law l
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me it was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.

good coffee (Postum) every day, and

Old ColIeue DAYS.

In an article in the Dial something
is said of the earlier days of American
scholarship and the pursuit of learning
under difficulties. In Harvards first
building, it is stated, not even the most
rudimentary of table equipment was
supplied. Each student carried his
own knife and fork when he went to
dinner, and after he had finished he
wiped them ON the tablecloth."
