 "0h!" Lois exclamation was frausht with horror. How could he---he--An officer in the church." Marian interrupted her so suddenly that she caught her breath.
 How could he?" she repeated. "Ycu ask that? Can't you understand that seeing his business on the verge of ruin and having money that was not needed just now by the church--hs should borrow it for just a few days meaning to put it right hack? And he would have put it back at once if he had not been taken i'll. He was ex- pecting and counting on . loan from another quarter.

Then, at last, his mail brought him letter a refusal to grant him the loan-and the horror of the thing made some thing snap in his brain.

Better Coffee
 EasyFor One Who Knows

In every family there is always some one who drinks coffee and usually every member partakes of at least one cup . day, therefore, why not make it the best way possible?
 It isn't always the housewife who spends the most per pound for her cof- fee who makes the best coffee; quality always counts in food, but sometimes the preparation means even more. An amateur might use the most expensive coffee and produce a cup of coffee far inferior to the housewife who purchased less expensive brand and took great care in making it.
 The average housewife prepares her coffee in the morning just half hour or 20 minutes before drinking but the housewife who is ambitious to make an excellent cup of coffee, cup which cheers and is fit for the epicure, pre- pares her coffee the night before. She soaks her coffee (ground of course) over night, or at least two hours before all lowing it to boil.
 | No coffee can taste like party coffee unless it is soaked and allowed to give its real essence, it's true flavor.
 Every one knows that coffee must first come to a boil and then he al- lowed to simmer. That part is simple enough, but let the housewife take a little precaution and put her coffee to n soak and she can surprise every mem- Der of the family with her new cup of coffee

"Why there's a pansy now!" she exclaimed q declare there's lot of them. Think of their hiding there all winter under the snow"

 You are Eveline Darrow!' she held out her hand.
 Yes, Eveline Darrow, and always will be. Your mother got the man l wanted, but that was long time ago. and it doesn't matter now.

 "The Wild 4Gazook lives nearby !" Harry Hoolygooly said. Let us go there as we had intended and perhaps he will help us.'
 But now that the Policeman is not strong, won't the Wild Gazook know this and refuse to help us:" Mrs. Hooly- gooly asked.

Don't Squeeze Black
 Heads-Dissolve Them

Squeezing and pinching out black heads make the pores large and cause irritation. Blackheads are caused by accumulations of dust and dirt and secretions from the skin and there is only one safe and sure way and one that never fails to get rid of then-a simple way, too that is to dissolve them. Just get from any drug store about two ounces of calonite powder-sprinke little on hot, wet cloth-rub over the blackheads briskly for few seconds-wash off and you'll be surprised to see that every black head has disappeared, and the skin will be left soft and the pores in their natural condition.-Adv.

Coyza-rhinitis- no matter what medical men may call the common cold. it is nevertheless disease. A person with bad cold is sick and should go to bed for day or two.
 Complete rest enables the body to regain lost vitality and so throw of germ infection Un- fortunately, it is not possible for all of us to get such rest. The next best thing is to take vigor- ous action at the first sign of cold.
 At night take purgative-a hot bath, and plenty of hot lemonade-go to bed under blankets to induce precipitation. Briskly mas sage the throat and chest with Vicks for five minutes. Then spread on thiekly-abour one eighth of an inch thick and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths

TREND OF FASHION

This is season when the pre- vailing note is a simplicity that is little short of superlative. It is simplicity brought to the highest degree of perfection and proves that women of the present day have an infinitely more developed color than women of decade ago.
 Today when trimming or orna- mentation appears it is never al- lowed to disturb the line of frock or to distract from it's sim pie grace.
 With simplicity the rule, it fol- lows that accessories loom large in importance and the woman of fashion selects every detail with rare discrimination. -7
 Earrings have suddenly regained their prestige and are shown in wide variety of new designs, most of which are quite long and of the filig1'ee type set with semi-preci- ous stones. Both powder blue, as we'll as brilliant red called gpy- sy red are a feature of costume jewelry. Y
 Necklaces have heightened and according to an aut uthority on cos tune jewelry the popular length is now about forty inches.
 Crystal both real and imitation s still used for many of the most beautiful chains, which are disting- uished by the novel cutting of the beads. Especially attractive are those of a square or oblong cut separated by rondures of colored glass.
 One of the new fob watches to wear with the mannish tailleur is shown in the sketch, as we'll as the rectangular scarf of black cash mere embroidered in the center with bright colors. These scarfs have supplanted the bandana of last season.

If there is much tighness or soreness in the chest, apply hot, wet cloths to open the pores of the skin before using Vieks.
