In course of their first tete-atete
the man with winning ways at once
took occasion to turn the conversation
into his favorite channel. "I observe
that you are wearing an especially
fine locket," said he. "Tell me, does
it contain some token of a past love
affair?”
Aware of the westerner's weakness,
the handsome New Y'orker thought to
humor him a bit "Yes." smiled she,
it dees contain a token of the past,
a lock of my husband's hair ”
"You don't mean to tell me that
you're a widow!" exclaimed the west
erner in delighted surprise, as he
nudged a trifle nearer. "1 understood
that your husband was alive "

CHILDREN SHOWED IT
Effect of Their Warm Drink in th#

Morning. ,
A year ago I was a wreck rrora
ci ffi * drinking and was on the point
of giving up njy position in the school

1 was telling a friend about it and
she said, 'We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is
such a comfort to have something we
can enjoy drinking with the children.'
I was astonished that she would al
low tlie children to drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
roost healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the child.*-u
and adults showed that to be a fact
•My fust trial was a failure. The
coc k boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so flat that 1 was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the di
rections and boiled it fifteen minutes
after the boiling began. It was a de
cided success and I was completely
won by its rich dMicious flavour. In a
short time I noticed a decided im
provement in my condition and kept
gri wing bo'tcr and better month after
month, until now I am perfectly
healthy, and do my work in the scho* 1
room with ease and pleasure. I wou.d
not returj to the nerve-destroying reg
u ir coffee for any money.”
