Quite Superfluous.

Mrs. Ellsworth had a new colored maid. One morning, as the maid came down stairs, the mistress said: “Emma, did you knock at Miss Flora’s door when I sent you up with her breakfast?’’ “No, ma’am,” replied the maid, with preternatural gravity. “What was de use ob a’knockln’ at her do’ when I knowed to’ sure she was in dar?”— New York Evening Post.

Made Daddy Gasp.

A certain small Chicago laddie is quick-witted as imitative, and so given to considering himself as quite an adult in comparison with his baby brother, that he now and then talks and acts in a mahner that might by the uncomprehending be judged impertinent Not long since at the family table the boy attempted to relate a recent experience. His father, who was talking, paid no attention, and the child’s anger got the better of his 'politeness. Raising his voice shrilly and speaking with an absurdly unconscious resemblance to his father’s tone and manner under similar circumstances, he demanded: “Papa, will you kindly close your, little trap for just one moment while I get in a word!”

PANTRY CLEANED A Way Some People Have.

A doctor said: “Before marriage my wife observed in summer and country'homes, coming in touch with families of varied means, culture, tastes and discriminating tendencies, that the families .using Pottum seemed to average better than those using coffee. “When we were married two years ago, Postum was among our first order of groceries. also put in some tea and coffee for guests, but after both had stood around the pantry about a year untouched, they were thrown away, and Postum used only. “Up to the age of 28 I had been accustomed to drink coffee as a routine habit and suffered constantly from indigestion and all its relative disorders. Since using Postum all the old complaints have, completely left me and I sometimes wonder if I ever had them.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

GOT RIGHT WOMAN

She Wasn’t Marrying His Money, But the Only Man in the World to Her.

By T. BLAIR EATON.

Peter Barlow squared his big shoul ders and turned to the gray-haired man who Was scribbling on bits of paper at the mahogany desk, “Let’s have all the horrible details,” said Peter, with a grin intended to be entirely nonchalant, but which, if the whole truth be told, was a trifle forced. “Just how much, or rather how little, is there left, Mr. Grayson?” Grayson frowned as he looked at the columns of figures on those bits of paper before him. “There’s practically nothing, Peter,” he said, with a slow shake of his head. “This is bad business —much worse than I thought at first. I’m sorry—more sorry than I can tell you. If you’d only come to me six months ago— ’’ z “That’s one of my characteristics—to shut the door after the horse is gone,” said Peter. “Nothing, you say 7 H’m! That’s bad. I’ve managed to get a chance with Billy Kenmore at those mines of his in Sonora. It’s a blamed long walk down there.” “There’ll be, perhaps, five hundred dollars,” said Grayson. “Fine!” said Peter; then he scowled. Grayson interpreted correctly the meaning of thgt scowl. “Of course, it will take a little time to straighten this whole mess out,” said be. “In the meantime, call on me for anything you want up to that five hundred.” / “Thanks! Mighty good of you*’’ said Peter. With a whimsical smile he turned/ his pockets inside out. A dollar bill and a little odd change tumbled to th* corner of the desk. “I’m going to take you at your word,” said Peter. “I’ll have to have my expenses down there, and there are a few little things I want to set straight before I leave. . Suppose you let me have —say three hundred and fifty, if it will be all right.” Grayson nodded. "Surely,” he agreed. “Like it in cash?” "Yes, that’ll be best,” said Peteh The other touched a button beneath the desk. “Bring me in three hundred and fifty dollars, Babbitt,” he ordered the clerk who answered the summons. Ten minutes later Peter Barlaw, the three hundred and fifty dollars tucked in various pockets, shook hands with the lawyer, laughingly cut short the other’s expressions of commiseration, and went out. But in the hall Peter Barlow's face became very grave. It became graver as he walked towards the elevator. Then he pulled out a little engagement book, glanced at a certain page, and all but groaned aloud. “To Edith’s for answer Thursday at three,” he read. This was Thursday, and between the time of writing that entry four days ago and the present time, Peter Barlow’s assets had shrunk from a supposed half million to something like five htmdred dollars. “ ‘To Edith’s at three for answer,’ ’’ he repeated jjrimly. “I’ve got the answer right now, and I may as well take time by the forelock and go up there at once.” He pulled out his watch. It was quarter to twelve. “Yep, I’ll go at once,” he .decided, and went out to the street to hail a taxi. “Say,” he said, cheerfully to the chauffeur, “I can’t in the least afford this, but habit is strong, and besides this is my last appearance so take me to Jolin’s on the avenue, then over to McPhair’S, then run me up to this address,” he finished, handing the chauffeur a scribbled card. It was nearing one when the taxi stopped at the uptown address. Peter alighted, paid the chauffeur, gathered up from the seat a huge box of candy and a large box of orchids, mounted the steps and rang the bell. He waited In the subdued light of the hall until he heard the patter of light footsteps on the polished stairs. “Peter!” cried the girl, running up to him and catching his arm playfully, “it was three! Don’t you remember?” Peter seemed about to catch her In his arms, then suddenly, his lips set and he stepped a pace away from her. He was still smiling, but it wasn’t cheerful —that smile. ( "You see,” said he. “I have brought you the answer Instead of waiting for it. It wouldn’t do, dear —never in the world. It would be a frightful mistake. I've just realized it I’m going away—to Mexico tomorrow, and —and —say, here's some of those fuzzy chocolates and a box of orchids,” he ended rather painfully. The girl made no move to take either of the boxes he bad caught up and was holding up to her. She was looking at him curiously. "You see,” he began, after an exceedingly awkward pause, "you see. I*ve just come to my senses. All those doubts of yours werp right. It wouldn't do—we’d never be happy. HI just hike Opt and leave the field -do a better man and —” "Peter!” The single word came so sharply that he stopped short. "You’ve asked me to marry you. You were coming here this afternoon for your answer. It*s to late to hedg*. I’ve decided I will marry you!” “Dear suffering sslnta!” gasped P*-

ter and dropped both the boxes with crash. Twice he opened his mouth as if to speak, but the words would not com*. When they did come, at last, they were hurried, garbled, like the words of a man in a panic. “Oh, you can’t,” he said. “You can’t. I tell you' it won’t do. I shouldn't have asked you. I made a mistake. I —” She looked at him narrowly.. “Why?” said she very calmly. She seemed to be enjoying immensely his discomfiture. “Well, I—I—” Peter began to stammer. “Another girl?” she questioned softly. \ Peter clutched at straws. “Yes, that’s it, another girl,” he declared shamelessly. She began to laugh. Peter felt yet more uncomfortable. “You’ll have to forget her.” said she. “We’re goinfc to be married — before you go to Mexico tomorrow.” “Say, look here, Edith,” Peter said vehemently. “We can’t. I tell you—” She stepped close to him. She put both hands on his shoulders. She was looking up at him with shining eyes. Peter, at the sight of her thus, groaned aloud. “You are telling me anything but the truth,” said she. “I happen to know the whole truth. I know your money is all gone, save five hundred dollars or so. Mr. Grayson was dining here with us last night. He told father. And father said: “That’s the best thing that ever happened to the young scamp. Peter’s'got the stuff in him. It will be the making of him —that and the right woman.’ And I am she, Peter, the right woman —1 know it —I’d have known it if dad hadn’t winked at me when he said what he did. I’m going down there to Mexico with you to help you manage Billy Kenmore’s mine. Yes, I am; don’t say a word. You just march those orchids straight back to Jolin’s, and take that candy back to McPhair’s and tell them you don’t want them. The idea! You couldn’t afford them. And mind you, walk; no taxis. And after you’ve taken those things back, go get the license, and come straight back here. Dad will be here with Doctor Brook, and we’ll be married here very quietly.” Peter looked at her very hungrily. Then with a sudden sralghtening of his tall frame and a shutting of his teeth, he spoke. “I won’t! You shan’t make this sacrifice,” said he. “Sacrifice!” said she. “Is it a sacrifice th marry the one man in th* world you’ll ever care about? I wasn’t marrying your old half million you thought you had; I'm marrying you. And I think you are going to be a whole lot better. You without that money.” , “No,” said Peter Barlow, heroically, but rather unconvincingly. ” She came very close to him once more. Her soft hair brushed his cheek. She looked up at him with eyes that burned like two stars. The nearness of her, the dainty sweetness of her made him gasp. “No?”,she asked with a quiet smile of triumph. “No?” He caught her in his arms. He held her tight “Yes—oh, the fool that I am! — yes,” said he. “You win; you knew you would. What show have I got to put any fine notions In effect when you’re with me? Marry you? I’d like to see anybody stop me, money or no money. Hang it what a fool lam to let you do this, what a fool, but how fearfully happy I am being that kind of a fool!” An hour later Peter Barlow again entered Grayson’s office. “I think I’ll go the limit and borrow tfle whole of the five hundred off you,” said Peter. “You see, I’m taking a wife down to the mines with me.” “A wife?” said Mr. Grayson, evidently not in the least surprised. “Assuredly, Peter. Excellent idea. I was sure you would.' I was sure of it last night at dinner. I am not sure, too, but what you owe the winning of that wife to the loss of your money. I think it opened her eyes to her. real affection for you. Well, she’s worth losing that trifling sum for.” “You bet she Is,” said Peter Barlow.

Bad Air Cause of Ghosts.

The discovery of carbon monoxide poisoning as a cause of ghostly manis the latest contribution to the results of psychic research. It became known lately that one of Borton's fine residences was haunted and that the children and servants—who slept on the third and fourth floors—often awoke at night with sensations of great oppression and of some strange presence near, footsteps about the'house were heard, and it was even rumored that apparitions were seen. Called to. investigate. Prof. Frans Schneider, Jr., a biologist of the Institute of Technology, found sufficient explanation in a very defective hot sir furnace. The rooms were filled with sulphurous oxide and carbon monoxide, and the effects were those especially of carbon monoxide poisoning—the illusion of walking spirits being probably aided by outsld* sounds.

IN SUMMER MATERIAL

LINGERIE DRESSES FASHIONED FROM WHITE COTTON VOILE. Has Many Advantages Which Make It Approach th* Ideal for Het Weather —Sketch Shows Pretty Embroidery Method. Some of the most useful and charming lingerie dresses are fashioned from fine, white cotton voile, which laundert satisfactorily and wears fairly well. Hand or machine needlework is a favorite trimming medium

White Voile Costume With Border Embroideries

in a frock of this sort, ofttimes combines with cluny insertions or Irish lace. This season, with the vogue for colorful embroideries, much can be done with thin materials that have colored border designs; whether hand worked or included in the ; weave. ' Just how different are the methods of utilizing border embroideries for dress trimmings fr*m those of other seasons is demonstrated in the model sketched for today. The material of the frock is a soft, fine white voile, with an oddly patterned border design outlined in coral and white floss. The lower edge of the design is cut out in deep points and scallops, and this is used for the lower part of the blouse, with one of the points running up over either shoulder in front and in back. The rest of the blouse is of plain plaited voile made with elbow-length sleeves cut in one with the sides. A small, round collar finishes the neck, and a row of little coral buttons is set down the center front as trimming. The tunic skirt has the cut-out border at the bottom, and is mounted evenly to the waist with gathers. The lower part of the underskirt is plaited like the blouse and attached to a net foundation. Black or coral colored satin may be used for the sash, whicb is tied in large loops at the back.—Washington Star.

Wrap for Traveling.

A military cape is the newest cloak for traveling. It is comfortable and smart at the same time and can be worn over a gown, a suit or even a fiomy, a suit or even a filmy evening toilette. In cadet blue lined in scarlet and with a gleam of brass buttons, it is truly dashing.

DESIGN FOR LITTLE SISTER

8111 c and Cotton Combined In Pretty Costume That Has Some Really New Features. Pale blue silk and cotton material has been made up most charmingly

and buttoned strap slippers of white kid complete the dainty costume.

Square Necks Wore.

A peasant bodice cut out square to the bust line and filled In with folds of soft chiffon or net Is gradually winning by a neck over the pointed decollette. As with all necks, whether round square or V-shaped, it has its omnipresent ruche of plaited lace or net, and an original note on some of these gowns shows a fall of lace In the middle of the back from the upstanding de Medici ruff—a jabot worn behind.

for a little girl in this instance. The sleeves are trimmed with narrpw plaited frills of the material and a brack velvet sash passes under a strap buttoned down with black velvet buttons. There is a round yoke edged filth the plaited frilling and over this little yoke lies a round collar of machine embroidery which fastens at the back. Pale blue silk stockings

“TUB” MATERIALS IN PLENTY

Among the Many Offered There la Ample Opportunity for Selection of Pretty Frock. The tub frock has included washable voile in Its materials this summer, and that dear old fabric has arisen from its ashes more delightfully useful and ornamental than ever, and makes the prettiest frocks for, those who want something fairly thin, washable, that will wear a decent time, and which will look nice to the end. The washing crepons, among other popular materials, always look smart if well cut and worn, while, In my opinion, the most useful frock of all is of the handkerchief type, plain cambric or batiste with little hemstitched colored edges. It is extraordinary how adaptable this type of frock is; simplicity being the order, it can be worn with the most country sort of hat, or by the addition of a not too elaborate but smart sash and a chapeau of a more afternoon description (still holding to the simple note), and the possible finish of a frilled collar and elbow cuffs, or a set in old embroidered net or muslin, it can be pressed into zervice for a far more important occasion. AU the foregoing is to the address of the young person, and not to that of her mother —or even grandmother!—these fair ladies having a way of taking to themselves .advice to the ingenue as a matter of course nowadays unless firmly told they must not!—London Queen.

CACHET FOR THE PETTICOAT

Band of Ribbon at the Knees Adds to Effect of May Bo Worn Around BusL The question o# petticoats is a most important one just now, for with the narrow skirts and the lacy underslips required by fashion, one wonders how a girl is to acquire even that semiclothed look that is rather expected of her, for her colored stockings will show at the knees if she wears a lace petticoat, and there is no room for her skirts—however, a band of ribbon about six or seven inches wide can be run on fiat at the knees and will greatly add to the effect of her costume. Another wide ribbon may be worn straight around the bust under the arms and will bring out the lace brassiere on top of her princess slip, and in the uncorseted days, if the ribbon be boned slightly at front and back, may really be worn with a well-made lace brassiere Instead of a corset, if one be of the ultra slim figure that is now en regie.

COAT SUIT OF TAN EPONQE

Both In Cut and Materials Particularly Effective for the Young Girl’s Wear. A particularly becoming coat suit of eponge for a young girl is offered

here as a suggestion. Tan eponge was used for the i suit with collar and turned-back cuff of the same material in white. A broad, stiffened belt of black velvet holds the blouse fullness of the coat. The blouse closes in slightly surplice effect above the belt, while the lower coat portion shows the cutaway Influence. Buttons of black velvet with attendan t buttonholes are placed just outside the shaped collar of ’ white. ] The skirt is plain

save for three deep tucks half way between knee and hem."

HANDS NEED NOT BE ROUGH

Even ths Busiest of Housewives Can ' Find Tims for This Simple Beautifying Procss*. Here are some useful hints, which, if followed, will be found to produce excellent results in keeping the hand* in good condition. The last thing at night, wash the hands with a good soap in not too hot water, and after they have been thoroughly cleansed (a soft nay-brush being permissible as long as z the skin is not injured), in clean warm water to which a few drops of tincture of benzoin has been added. Dry them on a soft towel and rub them well with cocoa butter, allowing it to sink into the skin. Massage the back of each hand and the fingers with the fingers of the other hand, rubbing them with-the tips in * circular movement, and gradually working down to the nails. '—- Now rub over with olive oil, and put on a pair of old chamois leather gloves, which, if kept on all nighL will make the skin soft, as wpll a* nice and white. In cleaning the nails never use * steel instrument or the points of th* scissors. Stains and dirt can be removed by rolling a tiny wad of cob ton-wool on the end of an orange stick and moistening it with diluted peroxide of hydrogen.

Pretty Brassiere.

A pretty brassiere is made of alternate strips of lace and beading through which wide ribbon is threaded. Adjustable straps are used tor evening wear.

COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST. We have all heard of ghosts, but non* of us have ever seen one. It’s the same way with coca cola “fiends;” you can hear about them but you might search for them until doom’s day and you would never find one. Physician* who have treated hundreds of thousand* of drug-habit cases, including opium, morphine, cocaine, alcohol, etc., say that they have never seen a case where the use of Coca-Cola has so fastened itself upon the individual as to constitute a habit in the true sense of the word. Although millions of glasses of Coca-Cola are drunk every year, no Coca-Cola fiends have ever made themselves visible at the doors of the sanitariums for the treatment oL-drug habits. The Coca-Cola habit is analogous to the beefsteak habit and to the strawberry habit and the ice cream habit. People drink Coca-Cola first because they see it advertise® and thereafter because it tastes good and refreshes their minds and bodies. They drink it when they can get it and contentedly ,do without it when they can’t get IL If you had ever witnessed the raving* of a real drug fiend when deprived of hl* drug, if you had ever observed th* agony he suffers, you would never again be so unfair as to mention CocaCola in the Same breath with th* "habit-forming” drug*.—-Adv. < Square Meal.
