gown was of rose pussy willow silk 
trimmed with bands of darker velvet. 
A wide band was the interesting fea- 
ture of the skirt and narrower bands 
appeared around the waistline and 
the cuffs. The dress had three 
shoulder capes, each trimmed with a 
tiny band of the velvet. It was a 
lovely frock and was made the more 
so by a clever hat that was designed 
to wear with it. The hat was a 
1ather large, flat shape, and had two 
new features. - The first was the ir- 
regularity in the brim, for over one 
eye a. piece seemed missing,—as if a 
giant had taken a bite out of it. The 
second interesting point about the hat 
was the brim itself, which was trans- 
parent. “Round and round the brim 
of the hat’ were sewed bewildering 
rows of quarter-inch velvet ribbon.

Pope wrote, 
“Coffee !—which makes the politician 
wise, 
And see all things with his half-eyes!” 
“Tf you want to improve your un- 
derstanding, drink coffee.” These 
were the words of Sidney Smith. 
Such have been the men who have 
eulogized the charms of the greatest 
matutinal drink history is familiar 
with. But there is coffee and—there 
is coffee! _ There is filtered coffee 
made with cold water, there is filtered 
coffee made with boiling water, there 
is boiled coffee made. with boiling 
water, there is cafe au lait and cafe 
noir, there are Rio and Santa (the 
strong coffees) and there are Java 
and Mocha (the weak coffees). And 
of them all a cup of good coffee is 
the exception rather than the rule. 
This is very sad, but so it is. 
The first point in the preparation 
of delicious coffee—and there is no 
reason in the world why every cup of 
coffee the young housekeeper makes 
should not equal that made by the 
French chef or the Turkish entertain- 
er—is the selection of the coffee bean. 
If you like a weak coffee, select Java 
or Mocha; if your choice is for the 
strong coffee, the Rio or Santa. A 
good combination is one pound 
Mocha one pound Rio and _ two 
pounds Java; this will produce a rich 
strong-flavored drink. It is too bad 
that each housekeeper cannot roast 
her own coffee, for the improvement 
in the drink would be about 98%. 
Poorly—that is to say, unevenly— 
roasted coffee is ruinous, however, so 
unless the mistress can give it her 
personal attention, it is better to buy 
it roasted, but not ground. By ail 
means grind your own coffee. A 
small mill which can be regulated to 
erind coarse or small can be bought 
for about $1.50 and with care will 
last for 15 years. 
The next point in making coffee is 
the absolute cleanliness of the coffee 
pot. If this is insured, it makes little 
matter whether you use a percolator 
or an old pitcher. Never boil coffee 
a long time, as this will dissipate the 
delicious aroma and produce a rather
