HIDDEN IMPURLTY

eff American women knew how
much of our Coffee lies on the ground
for days, before the berries are finally
swept up and harvested, greater care
would be exercised in purchasing
this food. For this Coffee is impure.
But it's moldy color is lost in the roast
ing, and the partial decay is concealed
until it comes UP harsh and bitter in
the cup. This fact is not generally
known to importers, for few of them
have studied conditions existing prior
to the arrival of their ships in port
So writes F. G. Harwood. And Mr..
Harwood knows. His long experience
in the tropical coffee growing coun-
tries, his deep intimacy with planta-
ton owners, his close study of their
customs, their methods and the
Tricks of their Trade" has acquired
for him a fund of knowledge which
places him far in the leadership Of
coffee connoisseurs, both here and
abroad.
Denison's Coffees are selected by F.
c. Harwood, personally, and it is here
that his power in the Coffee Industry
manifests itself to the qualification of
Denison's Brands. His wisdom and
critical discrimination is appreciated
by Coffee Growers the world over and
their respect gives him first choice Of
the worlds finest crops. Thus, only
pure, hand-picked berries find their
way into Denison Coffees. His care
is your safeguard against impurity.
Try Denison's and realize your ideal

Bags. Ask your grocer or write Den

SKY MARAUDER IN AIRSHAFT
Birds Cling FearfulIy to Fire Escape
While Sparrow Hawk HoVers
Near

A servant maid in an apartment on
the fourth floor of the Victoria, at
Riverside drive and Ninety-seventh
street, opened the kitchen window
Monday morning and wondered why
dozens of sparrows that were hud
ding on fire escape and window sill
did not take fright and scurry away.
Then she glanced outward and up
ward into the airshaft and discovered
the reason.
A sparrow hawk, sun glinting on its
wings, was wheeling rapidly high up
in the airshaft, but below the root
level. Occasionally, when the marau-
der's keen eye glimpsed a sparrow
which hadn't taken refuge it darted
like a flash. Twice while the maid
watched the hawk made a capture and
scared out of the airshaft.
The air pirate worked for about two
hours and disappeared shortly before
noon, but it was at least half an hour
later when the plump, brown spar
rows recovered from the terror caused
by the hawks appearance.

WORSHIP HEROES IN EFFIGY
Figures ir Concentration of
Ancient Warriors.

In Kasmir, India, it was once my
good fortune to visit Hindu Duss-
rah, or native fair. The cantonment
of my host was some distance away
from the grounds, so we mounted two
of his horses and rode through the
village out on the road to the fair
grounds, where we rode much of the
way in the wake of an interminable
procession on it's way to the Duss-
rah.
Above the heads of the multitude
three towering figures caught my eyes.
They were fashioned after the form of
man, but crudely and grotesquely. and
they were 100 feet tall. turned to my
companion and asked him what they
were. He told me that these mon
strous effigies were reared to com
memorate an ancient NEUROLOGICAL war
which, according to Hindu belief, took
place in Ceylon in the long ago.
Whether the story is true or not,
the figures were undoubtedly real. and
became more monstrously real the
closer we approached them. Later,
when we strolled at their feet, | saw
how they were made. Bamboo poles,
bound together after the Indian fash
ion of piecing out scaffolding, formed
the framework, and they were an
chored to the ground by ropes hid
den under the costumes that were.
made of coarse cloth. The heads of
the figures, grotesque and unreal in
their workmanship, were surmoTnt-
ed by fancy crowns of gold and col
ored paper.
The fair, indeed, was devoted en-
tirely to the praise of these mytho-
logical warriors and the heroic deeds
they are supposed to have done in
the ancient Ceylon wars.

models created by this Maison are,
In fact, ultra-feminine. When the mil
itary element is permitted to appear,
it is in such modified form that one
thinks only of the woman, writes
Idalia de Villiers, Paris correspondent
of the Boston Globe.
Beer has been showing holiday
gowns in which criss-cross stripes are
very much to the front. These stripes
are rather wide and the material is so
cleverly manipulated that they seem
to run round the figure at an unex-
pected angle
For example, gown composed of
black and white and plain white silk
finished linen. The striped skirt was
short, full and plain, the stripes run
ming sideways from right hip to left
hem and so on.
There was Russian blouse coatee
pure white linen-which was band
ed in by broad ceinture made of
black suede and on the front of the
coatee there was a single large rever,
thickly embroidered with tiny beads
black, white, dull blue and crimson.
There was high collar of plated
white muslin and the elbow sleeves
were finished with plaitings of the
same material. Another criss-cross
striped dress was expressed in rose
Dubarry pink and white, with a short
coatee in Chinese blue taffeta.
The stripes ran sideways across the
figure as in the case of the black and
white skirt and the coatee fell in
straight sack lines at the back, while
the fronts were caught in by a bead
ed ceinture.
This coatee was specially smart in
outline. The full fronts pouched over
the ceintureNand there were a number
of beautiful buttons on either side.
This has been and still is, season
of collars. Never has neckwear been
so important or so prominent. Every

GODS OF LOVE AND JEALOUSY
Sometimes Associated. But Not BY
Any Means lnseparable, as Gen.
orally Supposed.

The prevalent idea appears to be
that there car be no love without
pretty large admixture of jealousy,
and that. conversely, almost every case
OF Jealousy springs from some mis-
guided love affair. Whether this idea
is the right one or not is decidedly
open to question. Ideal love affairs
preclude jealousy altogether. and
where absolute trust and confidence
exist there is no room at all for the
green-eyed monster.
One curious attribute of the Jealous
woman who plans to sweep her rivals
out OF the way is that she generally
shows a marked lack of brains in her
methods. Jealousy not only blunts all
her finer feelings. but at the same time
1t causes q curious confusion of mind,
which fails to take the proper grasp
of consequences and which is utterly
Illogical and childishly reckless in it's
workings.
One has only to glance at the daily
papers to see this fact practically illus
trated. The schemes of the Jealous
woman are the most childishly imma-
ture in the world, and in almost every
case fall to pieces and bring speedy
retribution on her own head For not
alone does the victim suffer. The worst
generally comes upon the plotter her.
self
Love very often does bring a GER
tain amount of jealousy in its train.
But at the same time it is entirely up
to ourselves to curb those feelings and
to keep them from outward and visible
expression. Moreover. it is perfectly
true that, although love generally does
admit of jealousy. the latter can exist
and flourish pretty successfully with
out love.
Therefore in the last analysis we
may most assuredly claim that jeal-
ousy and love are two distinct and
quite separable affairs.-Savanna

Two Bows. a Cow and Two Calves.

This is a short story of how two
Vermont boys, still in their teens,

years old, and as their father was a
banker and they were away - school
q farmer was induced to keep the ami
nal for them. They owned the cow
a little over two years and during that
time she had two calves. The boys
found a ready market for the calves
and have Just sold the COW, the three
animals having been sold for $525.
The farmer charged them 1925 for
keeping Of the stock and other ex-
penses and the boys will net 500
apiece from the transaction. The boys
are quite satisfied with their invest
ment and incidentally have become
somewhat interested in life upon

Crocheted Hatbands.

To match the delightful silk sport
coats that everyone" is wearing,
there are being displayed narrow
crocheted hatbands in all the bright
sports colors. Some of the puppies,
greens, reds and yellows show daring
enough borders to revive the old joke
of listening to the band on your hat"
However, they are most attractive,
these crocheted bands, and offer an ex-
cuse for the eager worker to exercise
her originality and artistic taste Many
of them are finished with a fringe of
twisted silk. Usually the bands are
about two inches wide and long
enough to wind about the average size
crown and tie in knot and short ends
at one side. Hatband, necktie and belt
to match would make a beautiful gift
for the girl with athletic tastes.
