Question of Taste
 and Economy

There are many of us who ap- preciate the better things of life and yet who find it neces- sary to practice economy.
 But what is economy?
 Buying wisely - that's Econ- omy.
 With coffee for instance: Buy ing wisely suggests getting that brand which will give the largest number of cups to each pound. And the question is one of cost per cup not of cost per pound.

 A H,e Freshly Gnha

Here is the most economical coffee for you to buy and use. More than that-it is a brand of coffee which appeals to the most cultivated taste to the inveterate coffee lover.
 Fresh, plump coffee berries - the pick of the worlds markets blended and roasted with the utmost care and precision = these are what give La Tou- raine that strength and flavor. Ground fresh by your grocer when you order it and sold only in the La Touraine bag.

WHISTLER WAS MOST ACTIVE
Observer Marveled at Great Energy
Displayed by the Famous Artist
In His Studio.

The studio was surprisingly differ
ent from the room he previously used
in Lindsay row, and entirely unlike
the studios usually occupied by other
artists, says Hay in "Nemories Of
Whistler" remember a long, not
very lofty room, very light, with win
dows along one side; his canvas beside
his model at one end. and at the
other, near the table which he used
as a palette, an old Georgian looking
glass, so arranged that he could see
his canvas and model reflected in It.
Those who use such a mirror Gas he
did constantly will know that 1t is
the most merciless Of critics.
I marveled then at his extraordinary
activity. as he darted backward and
forward to look at both painting and
model from his point Of view at the ex-
treme end Of the long studio. He always
used brushes of large size with very
long handles, three feet in length, and
held them from the end with his arms
stretched to their full extent. Each
touch was laid on with great flrmnes1
and his. physical strength enabled HIM
to do without the assistance of a mahly
stick. whilst the distance at which he
stood from the canvas allowed him to
have the whole of a large picture in
sight and so Judge the correct drawing
of each touch.
