gagged girl. timidly. For economy,
purity and convenience"
Did they tell you to get a coffee
mill!' asked the hostess. They told
me; so after two years of married life
decided to look into the matter"
What kind did you get?" asked tho
engaged girl.
i got the best-'Grinders Glory,
or some such name went to the
root Of things and consulted everybody
could find. Ned almost stopped eat
ing meals at home because | insisted
on telling him all that | found out
about coffee mills Why don't you get
one and forget it?' he finally asked.
SO told him that we had two pounds
| OF ground-and had to wait
till it was used up. Why do you get
so much at once? he asked. And
then | told him that 1t was the only
way to buy-that mother always got
a lot at one time
But at last all that coffee was used
up, so | went downtown and ordered
coffee MILL And of course, TOLD
my coffee man to deliver my coffee
whole.

one pound. 1t screws into the wal
and grinds the coffee into glass tina

1t came. 1t was two days late ant
since we had whole coffee we had be

grinder for coffee? 1t is as hard t
grind as nails.

driver. Then We found that the cylir
der had been broken. almost CRIED
At once | sent an order for anothe

boy came for it, but didn't bring tn
other. And every morning Ned woul
say: Why don't you get pound
ground coffee and stop this laborer
job?' | would reply that didn't bu
coffee that way, for 1t wasn't the wa
to buy coffee.
Then I went downtown to see abo,
that coffee mill and found they wei
