Just the Same as
in Years Gone By
New Orleans was ever famous for its food, its cuisine, and
particularly its coffee. Travelers from all over the world smacked
their lips over cups of delicious coffee bought at the stalls i; the
old French Market. The old Creole mammies who learned how
to make this coffee knew how to blend it and roast it, and then
drip it so that the aroma would be preserved.
The modern housewife can have the same kind of coffee. The
making of drip coffee is easy to learn; in fact. most New Orleans
families know how to do it very well, but the blending and roasting
of coffee is an art.
French Market Coffee is the famous old secret blend that made
the coffee of the old New Orleans French Market famous in days
gone by. You, in the comfort and convenience of your modern
home, can have the same delicious coffee that the people of other
days used to drink, if you will use French Market Coffee.

A GRIPPING
ROMANCE
By OTIlLIA r. PFEIFFER
(Copyright, 1920, Wester Newspaper Unioa.)
"Coddllng, my dear-that is the sys
temrn we are to employ with Cousin
Roylston. The men all like it."
"Is he really a cousin?" inquired
Prudence Blake of her sister, a spin
ster like herself, though ten years her
senior.
"Well, maybe third or fourth, re
moved, but he hasn't many of near kin,
and it is probably because of our re
lationship, distant though it may be,
that he has chosen our home to re
cruit his health in."
"Why, is he an invalid?" questioned
the seemingly artless Prudence.
"No, but he has been a victim of the
prevailing grip epidemic and his doc
tor said a few weeks' convalescence
away from business cares was neces
sary."
"Yes, we must be helpful and kind
to the sick and weak." sighed Pru
dence pathetically.
"You mean we must seize all golden
opportunities," reported Dorcas tartly,
valuing the simpering platitudes of
her sister at their true worth. "Cousin
Roylston is a man of means, a com
paratively young man, and-who
knows?" And Dorcas prepared to put
her coddling system into practical
operation, and Prudence hunted up
her most captivating ribbons and laces.
Ward Roylston heaved a sigh of relief
anticipatingly of coveted peace and
rest as he reached the isolated town
of Clyde.
"You do not look very well, Cousin,"
were the first encouraging words of
Dorcas. "Our brother Ezra has just
received his medical diploma and he
j will call to look you over."
1 "Why, I am not sick," said Roylston.
Wg We never know in a case like
m yours," observed Dorcas in a dolorous
tone. "They say the after effects are
I sometimes very severe. But you will
g have at hand faithful nurses."

Jap "Co-Ed's" Costumes.
A new school costume for three
large schools for girls in Tokio is re
ported in a Japan society bulletin.
The freshmen girls will have jackets
fashioned of pink material and skirts
of violet. The second-year girls will
wear blue jackets and third-year
maidens, in virtue of their greater
maturity and advancing wisdom, will
be privileged to have their coats cut
from brown cloth. The Tokio schools
making the change are the Girls
Commercial school, the Yamawaki
Girls' high school, and Atoul Girls'
high school.
