Dick had almost reached the sta tion. A glad light came into his eyes as he looked out of the window, for there was Janet in the cart, with her face turned toward the train, now be ginning to slow up. Dick alighted, and thought, as he hurried toward her, that it was a wonderful thing to have a wife, young, fair and so prec ious. The world did seem full of beauty as they Jogged along through the autumn woods. Too glorious to last," he said. "What, Dick, the gorgeous trees? No, they can't last long now in their wonderfulness, but they will come again in the same beauty. That's the way, dear" and here her hand slipped under the robe and rested on his knee "every bit of happiness or beauty we have ever had will be re . fleeted in after days." "Perhaps, if I only knew that our happiness could go on forever, or ven come back again what did Dr. Marks say to-day?" His tone changed to harshness. "He said oh, Dick, must I tell you? he said that I muBt go away Immediately, before the winter starts In, or or " She did not go on, but the little hand in his trembled, and the little cluck that she gave tp urge on the horse had a very pa thetic sound. "Then I am going with you! It Is not and it can never be right for us to live apart." "No!" she cried In alarm. "You must not you can't. Everything that you have worked for all these years is now coming your way. In a few days you will be elected judge. It's a sure thing, everybody says. Oh, I'm so proud of you! Why, Dick, you could not earn a living out there on the plains, and I could not spoil your life like that; and then, anyway, It might be only a few years longer perhaps not a year and oh, my boy, don't insist upon my going! I want to spend these few years where you are!" Two weeks later Janet again sat waiting for the city train. Dick waved his hand from the platform, and made a great show of good spirits as he climbed into the high dog cart. "Oh, Dick, I have been reading the papers. It is perfectly outrageous the way they speak of your refusing to run on a ticket which supported such principles said you should have found it out sooner, and all that." "Yes, dear, but did you see the News and the Herald? They speak ot me as too good for the ticket a young fellow who had it easy and wouldn't be counted in with the grafters, et cetera." "I know It, boy, and I am so proud of you, for I know you withdrew for principal's sake; only I'm so sorry to have you disappointed in what you have worked for all your life. Tom Stevens was over to-day, and he said: 'What does Dick mean by cultivating such reform Ideas In politics all of a sudden? Of course, he's all right fair, and all that but he doesn't usually hesitate to take what he wants without asking any Sunday school questions. Ha, ha! It seems funny to think of Dick with such a conscience.' " "Ahem! Tom UBed to knew me In college. What did you say to that, Janet?" "I said that he did not know you as I did, and that, although I knew you wanted the election very much you had given it up because you be lieved it was the only right thing to Co." "Thank you! A fellow doesn't mind being beaten when his wife talks like that but say, deaV it is rather hard to stay here when one has lost so much. A client of mine wants me to go down to Arizona to look after some mining interests of his. We will go next month, and perhaps stay, If we like it." That night be slept with her head upon his shoulder, and when he was awakened (luring the night by a Slight cough, he gently smoothed back her fair hair and muttered to himself: "I hate to pose as such a saint! I'll never be anything down in that mis . crable country, but, thank God, I'll have my sweet wife for years to come." The Home Magazine. Japanese Women To-day. We do not deny that in the days ot old Japan women were taught and trained to hold and did occupy a po sition Inferior to that of man, al though as mothers they were regard ed with the highest respect and devo tion. But those days are gone, and to-day onr daughters are given full freedom to live and act with perfect equality as their sisters of the West, while our mothers retain their old position ot honor and esteem. To kio (Japan) Times. The Fear of Age. Why do so many women regard age with such affright? Viewed from the vantage ground of youth, it seems to them that the end of youth means the end of love, and to many women the end of love is even more appalling than the end of life. They forget that the love which depends only on youth and beauty is as likely to take to Itself wings in the heyday of life as later. Nothing is potent enough to hold an emotion as evans cent and unstable as thistledown. The Gentlewoman. Snrah Bernhardfs Cook. Sarah Bernhardt says some pleas ant things about the Boston woman In her "Memories of My Life." She was struck by the "harmony and soft ness of their gestures," and the Bos tonlan race seemed to her "the most refined and mysterious of all Amer ican races. The women adore music, the theatre, literature, painting and poetry," she writes. "They know everything and understand every thing, are chaste and reserved and neither laugh nor talk very loudly." New York Tribune. In it Railway Station. It was easy in the lax time ot waiting at the Grand Central Station for the leisurely coming of a way train to enter into conversation with a cordial neighbor, a middle aged, shrewd, yet refined faced, woman, who ventured a remark about being glad her day's shopping was over; she was evidently from the far-away suburbs. , "Don't you like to watch people?" she questioned, with delighted un expectedness. "I do. And I always make up my mind what they are. That man who has just come in is a minister; he doesn't dress especially like it, hasn't one of those collars on wrong side, either; but I know he is a minister by his face and the cut of his side whiskers. Do you see those two women? I am sure they are club women, they look so earnest. There Is a married couple opposite us whom I have been noticing. She has the say of things. Can't you always tell when you see a man and his wife together which one rules? Oh, here's my train! Goodby!" New York Tribune. An Excuse For Coquetry. Feminine coquetry has one capital excuse Its cause is entirely mascu line. For the craving of women for elegance, luxury In dress and their extravagance in jewelry and other or namentation are merely an outcome ot their desire to please man, to at tract his attention and conquer him. As Sig. Cadalso discovered not long ago, the instinct is irresistible even among women In prison, writes Pro fessor Lombroso, In the Chicago Tri bune. Complete isolation from the outer world, the fact that they can never be seen by men, is not sufficient to stifle in them the desire of being beautiful and elegant. Prison rules in Italy are most strict, especially so far 'as the dress of the prisoners is concerned. Powder, scent, cosmetics and all other handmaids of vanity are forbidden, but coquetry Is strong er than rules. Several prisoners found the means of powdering their faces. They pa tiently licked the walls of their cells, masticated the whitewash and thus obtained a kind of white paste, with which they proudly coated their fanes. One woman was found with her cheeks covered with rouge like a bal let girl. No one could realize how she had managed it. Her cell was thoroughly but vainly searched. Eventually the mystery was solved. In the nightgowns used by the prison ers there are a few red threads. This woman had patiently pulled out these threads one by one, had soaked them In watery and in this original way had made some rouge for her private use. Paolo Lombroso. Exploded Theories of Colors. I will not Insult the Intelligence nt my audience by insisting upon the now exploded theory that there are certain colors exclusively dedicated to the brunette and others the sole possession of the blonde. When crude dyes only were obtainable, it was perhaps necessary to say to the dark woman, "For you there must eiist only yellow and pale blue," and to the blonde, "You must look upon no other color save green and light red." ' But now contemplate the nuances of every dye; contemplate, too. the changes that are rung on the defini tion "brunette" and "blonde." Be sides, If there is one point upon which women are usually good Judges for themselves It is color. While, however, roughly speaking, white Is tor everybody, mauve for the very fair, blue for the brunette and red for the blonde, I would add that age should be circumspect in a de cision as to color schemes. With white, black, gray and purple at her command, why should the woman ot sixty Insist upon pink, which is cer tain to make her appear years and years older than she really is? It is Just the same with Jewelry. When my daughter was about to be married I took from the bank a sum of money that her grandfather, the founder of our house, had left by will to be expended upon a wedding present for ber. The amount was sufficient to purchase a necklace of diamonds. But I did not wish such a possession for my daughter. Instead of presenting to her in her grand father's name an ornament composed of stones ot which not one would be really uncommon, I bought just a single stone a solitary blue dia mond, flawless, superbly cut; in point of fact, perfection. Few people may notice that diamond when my daugh ter wears it, but she owns a gem that is immaculate, and that is enough for me and for her. Worth, in Harper's Bazar. A Happy Marriage. A few marriages are happy. This cheerful fact is gleefully recorded here. In the hope that it may make a bright spot In all the doleful record of divorces and desertions of which every newspaper is full. A man, a woman and a small girl seen on the train this morning, are proof ot the statement. The small girl had the man's nose and the woman's eyes. The woman was gay and pretty, with fluffy gold hair and beautiful furs, and a round, white chin with a dimple a firm chin, though. And when she talked the little girl looked at her in open admiration, and the man who was dark and smooth-shaven, with slight ly gray hair, and a fine, clear-cut boyish face and wrinkles around his eyes, as if he laughed a lot listened as if all her words were golden. And when he talked, she listened the same way. And they laughed together exactly like a happy boy and girl, who ad mired each other more than anybody else In the world. And the little maiden, who was about ten years old, and rosy and happy, sat and looked at them as if she, also, thought them the most extraordinary people. The woman was lovely, and capable and sensible, and happy. Any one could see that at a flash. And the man was perhaps not quite so reso lute a person, but fine and gentle and appreciative, and very much in love with his wife, and just as happy. That was plain. And it was such a tremendous re lief to look up from the aforesaid record of divorces and deaertlons in the morning paper and behold this jolly contradiction to the lie that all marriages are failure's, that one had all one could do to keep from step ping across the aisle and asking for the recipe, for the benefit of all the poor wretches who bungle and lose at the game these two were playing with such evident joy. Philadelphia Bulletin. Wide collars of laco are inset with cameos. The colored slips are being brought Into favor again. The wood colors are especially soft and rich in the new foulards with their satin surfaces. Combination effects continue mod ish In laces and the use of soutache introduces a touch ot novelty. Fine floral patterns are character istic of the new embroideries which are commencing to appear. Fringes and tassels, long ago fav ored among fashionable women, are coming to their own again. The hyacinth proves to have been the flower selected most - often this season by the debutante for ber bou quet. , Of all the gowns that are being made for wear among the birds and flowers there are none prettier than the batistes. There are many silky Jacquard ef fects among the new fabrics, some times In self color and again in a con trasting shade. The latest fad in boning a collar is to place a single bone at the centre of the back instead of on either side, rounding the collar from the front to this high point at the back. Delft blue Is one of the colors that develops well upon the heavy white linen foundation of the turnover col lars; simple dots ot two sizes with scalloped edge form a favorite de sign. Same True of Spoiling. When I was in England, before the "entete cordiale," I discussed the metric system with an Englishman. The English system ot weights and measures, he admitted, was complex, but be said it was precisely because of its innumerable difficulties that it constituted a marvelous instrument for making supple the young brains which filled the English schools. Journal ot Paris. umiom New York City. The dainty lin gerie waist is one of the garments that Is worn at all seasons of the year. Our modern ' steam heated houses make It ideally comfortable, even at midwinter, and it Is so charm- Ine and attractive that no woman likes to give it up. This one is quite novel, and as Illustrated is made ot tine Persian lawn, with the yoke of the material embroidered by band and with trimming of Valenciennes lace. The yoke, however, could be cut from all-over embroidery, or could be made from wide Insertion, mitred as necessary. For the blouse itself the crepe de Chine that laun ders so well, India silk and the like are quite as appropriate as lawn, so that there are a great many possibili ties in the design. The sleeves are the pretty ones of three-quarter length. The waist is made with the tucked fronts and back, which are Joined to the shaped yoke portions, and the fitting is accomplished by means of shoulder and under-arm seams. The sleeves of moderate fulness are gath ered Into stralgnt cuffs. Effective Dinner Gowns. Dinner gowns of net or chiffon cloth combined with chiffon broad cloth are extremely effective without being the least pretentious. I Skirt With Braid. Plain skirts and long, with elabo rately braided coats, are the rule for velvet suits for dress wear. The soft colors are peculiarly beautiful in the aupple chiffon velvets that this year are selected for dressy suits, while the more practical corduroys are in blue, red, brown and gray as before. Standing Collars. There are standing collars shown embroidered almost to the edge, but without flaps. ' Girl's Gulmpe. There is something essentially dainty about the gulmpe dress that every mother is sure to find attract ive and that every girl likes, conse quently the guimpe of every pretty sort is In perpetual demand. Here Is one that can be made dressy by the use ot insertion as illustrated or plainer by the omission thereof, and which in either case Is thoroughly satisfactory. As illustrated it Is made of fine lawn with embroidered band ing, but the banding can be of lace or bits of hand work could bo substi tuted, or, as already stated, tucks alone would make sufficient finish. The sleeves can be either long or in three-quarter length, and every ma terial that Is used for gulmpes is ap propriate. Those of the lingerie sort are perhaps the most practical, but thin, soft silks and chiffon also are In vogue. The gulmpe is made with front and backs, which are tucked for their entire length. The fulness Is held by a band-at the waist line and the moderately full sleeves are finished with straight cuffs. There is a standing collar at the neck. The quantity of material required for the medium size (twelve years) Is two and a half yards twenty-one or twnntv-four. one and three-quarter yards thirty-six inches wide, with two and a half yards of insertion. Pale Shades Fashionable. Any ot the pale shades are more fashionable for dressy gowns at pres ent than white, and some quite vivid; colors like cerise and geranium are having a considerable vogue for da wear. Prune Colored Hat. An original hat is ot light mor dore panne, trimmed with choux ot fringed taffeta, two centimeters wide, in prune color, and with long bunches ot grapes mingling with two rosea.

COFFEE DRINKING A Doctor Says It Weakens the Heart. "In my opinion,"' says a well known German physician, "no onf can truthfully say that coffee-. agree with him, as It has long since bee proven that caffeine, contained 1 coffee, is an injurious, poisonot substance which weakens and di generates tho heart muscles. "For t'.ls reason the regular use of coffee, soon or late, causes a con dition ot undernourishment, which , leads to various kinds of organic dls ease. "Convinced of this fact, I have often Fought for some healthful bev erage to use instead ot coffee. At last I found the thing desired In ' Postum. Having had occasion to for bid people using coffee, whose hearts were affected, I have recommended Postum as a beverage, since It is free from all Injurious or exciting' sub stances.
