| nese, Helen thought he looked like
native of India. and was rewarded
by a sudden lighting of his face when
she asked him about 1t.
Beauty. eh? ?" he remarked, as he
opened box and threw a pale gold
kimono over the counter. 1t was a
gorgeous thing of heavy crepe de
chine and embroidered in gold thread
and ivory with a luminous pink run
ming through the design. Helen could
not help exclaiming. She was certain
that no matter what else he should
show her. there would be nothing
else that she could want after seeing
this heavenly thing.
Bob and Louise had bought her n
very beautiful negligee in yellow
when they had returned from their
honeymoon, but Helen had spilled
coffee on it at breakfast one morning
! 1t had come home from the cleaners.
How much is this?" she asked
doubtfully.
Nineteen dollars, ma'am; cheap,
very cheap"
Helen shook her heat. TOO much F.;
have you anything cheaper"
Not so good" said the man, pulling
down several other boxes. And in
deed they weren't, or at least Helen
had no use for them. She decided to
buy something for Louise, and then
go out and look at Panama hats. and,
after deciding on a very handsomely
carved ivory umbrella handle, Helen
was about to go, when the man held
| up the kimono invitingly. Another
man, heavily bronzed, had come into
! the shop and was examining lapis
| lazul. Now he looked up as he heard
Helen tell the man that the thing was
more than she could afford. Helen
met his eyes as he smiled quizzingly
and flushed a little.
Match the lady for it," he said
suggestively. Come on now, be a
sport"
! The Oriental smiled, eager to snap
at a bargain, but shook his head slow
| ly Lose money" he said doubtfully.
But the stranger was taking a coin
out of his pocket and was tossing il
! Iinvitingly.
/ "Fifteen dollars" he suggested, I'D
you lose: nineteen If you win"
The next moment at a nod of the
/ Orientafs head the coin was spinning
through the air and landed on the
| counter with a resonant clap.
You lose" said the stranger laugh
ingly and the next minute the shop
keeper was handing the package over
the counter ruefully while Helen
laughed at her bargain.
| You really got that awfully cheap,
said the stranger as he turned to go
you see, their instinct for gambling
Is strong and they hardly ever refuse
to take a chance"
II want to thank you" said Helen
a little breathlessly. "It was very
good of you, and 1 appreciate it"
She walked up the block with q
warm little glow at her heart. She
would let the hat. go for the present
and surely 1t must be nearly lunch
time. She had never been so hungry
in her life.

Helen and Warren will appear here

time fails to give the necessary incite-
ment to the nervous system.
while the mind is often stimulated
to good work for short time by cof-
fee or tea, any stimulus which they
give is transltory, for there is a period
of depression following the use of all
stimulants. Experiments have shown
that over indulgence in both have a
tendency in the long run to dull the
working of the mind.
"A moderate use may not be fol-
lowed by any noticeable ill effect, but
nervousness and disturbances of the
digestive system Is almost certain to
follow the excessive use of either. Tea.
has an astringent action which is
often harmful.
ANY value which might follow from
the use of a warm beverage with
meals. where the majority of the food
is below the body temperature, Isl
probably offset by this action. Hot
water or the cambria tea (hot water,

MANY people rely upon coffee and
tea almost entirely as beverages and

NAVY LEAGUE URGES
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
IN Letter to Padgett, Suggests
President and congressman
For Board.

Urging the creation OF Council
of National Defense" the executive
committee of the Navy League of the
United States today wrote Chairman
Padgett, of the House Naval Affairs
Committee, asking that he assume
the leadership and give us this great
boom"
The leagues letter says the general
staff of the army and the general
board of the navy has been making
recommendations for years which
Congress has ignored. but it is sug-
gested that with the President and
members of Congress as members OF
a national council of defense, there
will be real investigation of pre-
paredness and the recommendations
of such a board would be needed.
I'VE believe the country is thor
oughly aroused and wants definite in
formation" says the letter, which
continues:
I'VE have not, nor probably will. we
ever have, an army SO great that we
can rely upon 1t to prevent an at
tack: SO, II, for any reason. we be-
come involved in serious dispute
nations what we require Is time
enough to enlist and train an efficient
army. 1t is idle, under existing con-
ditions, to think that this can be done
in less than year, or eighteen
months Therefore, our problem Is to
hold the seas against the transports
of an enemy for at least eighteen
months. Put us in that position anj
we can sleep quietly in our beds, un-
terrified by the fear of such disasters
as have come to France, Belgium,
and Poland.
You may reply that at present we
have a general staff for our army, and
an unofficial staff, called the gene, al
board, for the navy, who ought to con-
slider these questions. But for years
these bodies have been making reports
and pointing out certain needs of the
army and navy, and no attention las
been paid to them: and If we wait until
some disaster comes or great emergency
arises, it will be too late.
IF we have 4 board on which might
be placed the President of the United
States, together with other great Of
hcers of the Government. including
those Of the House and Senate, who
are practically charged with these
question:, together with citizens of ma
tional reputation representing both par
ties, with authority to sit during the

is significant of the dual monarchy
dissatisfaction with the progress of
the war. The appointment oil Baron
voh Raiecz. a Hungarian. to succeed
Count Berchtold, emphasizes further
the serious internal disturbance
caused by the Russian invasion OF
Hungary.
Count Berchtold was more yespon-
sible for the present war than any
other individual. He formulated the
militant policy against Servia, and
after the delivery OF Austria's uiti-
matum at Belgrade. he practically
went into hiding. so that outside
diplomatic pressure could not be
brought into play at Vienna until
too late.
