constant pain around my heart until I
thought l could not endure 1t.
Frequently l had nervous chills
and the least excitement would drive

upset me terribly. l was gradually
getting worse until finally asked my
self what's the use of being sick all
the time and buying medicine so that
l could indulge myself in coffee?
so / got some Postum to help me
quit l made it strictly according to
directions and / want to tell you that
change was the greatest step in my
life. 1t was easy to quit coffee be-
cause I now like Postum better than
the coffee
"One by one the old troubles left

Three boas are shown here. one in
white, one in the natural tan and
white color of the feathers. and the
third in black tipped with white. In
the last the white flue is tied or pasted
on to the colored fiue. and there is
an endless variety in combinations to
choose from in boas made in this way
But the boa may be had now in any
color, even the most unusual new tints
and shades.
1t is to be remembered that bit of
rich and fluffy neckwear presupposes
a hat to correspond. In the group
pictures here white fabric hat is
shown trimmed with a pattern applied
in small black beads about the brim
edge. 1t has collar of white ribbon
with small squares of embroidery in
black, and white rose is mounted
near the edge of the front brim. The
second bead-trimmed hat shows re-
versal OF color: white beads are ap-
piled to black hemp shape with fac.
ing of white Grape.

The Elbert County tribune., 1915-06-18

The ostrich boa has met with an
of popularity, and seems destined to
outdistance other kinds of fluffy and
airy neckwear. The unusually cool
weather of spring has made some sort
of protection almost a necessity, and
there is no denying the becomingness
of soft feathers about the throat.
White fox, red fox and light gray or
tan fur neckpieces one sees with the
most summery of white turbans and
1ower-trimmed hats. This vogue is
probably reflection from the west
ern coast, for visitors to the Panama
opposition have found the weather
Abol and everyone indulging in the
furs with summer gowns.
The feather boa of today is short
as TO length, long as to fiber, and liked
best in white, natural color or two
toned combinations. Occasionally a
boa more than long enough to lie
loosely about the throat is seen, but
not often. They all fasten with bows
of soft messaline ribbon, apparently,
or the exception is so rare as to
prove the rule.
Very smart sets consisting of boa
and ostrich-trimmed hats are shown,
and there are great numbers OF cock
ades, fans. and other fanciful orna-
ments made OF ostrich to be used on
hats.
