"These," she said, sternly, "are the people on whom you aro determined to bring a public scandal, Agathu."

Some of the women woro monstrous hoopsklrts, j somo of them held up attenuated arms to display leg-o'-mutton sleeves; others faccd the world from tho depths of huge poke bonnets.

It was a trying ordeal for ue. I loved Aunt Penny devotedly, and had spent 20 years under her roof and in inn i .11 v? whs inn ftiui twenty. The wedding trousseau was upstairs, Rome of It In the partially peeked trunks, and 111?* bridesmaid.'! were In readiness and on tiptoe; the wedding breakfast was ordered. I knew that the break ln? of my promise would kIvu Aunt l'enny the most Intense pain, as It had done. To save her feelings and to keep my place In her affections, I descend ed to subterfuge "Aunt I'enelopo," I deelared. " It Isn't my fault that Leon Mr Masters desires to break the engagement." j 'Drsiros? What are you saying.! Agatha? Declines to marry a FVnryn. | with the Invitations all out, the bishop Invited to preside and with a beaut I ! ful bride, such as yon will be?" "Hp does," I faltered, with a sudden | determination to see Leon Masters nt once and make him tell Aunt Penny 1 It wnu hla wish to be free. Why I had come to the decision not to marry Leon?why I had sent him n letter breaking off the marriage at thn last moment, I could hardly explain.

We had played together In childhood, wo had been Rweethearta j In early youth, but with tho wedding day a week off I felt that I was taking a mean advantage of a child to marry Leon. I did not love him. Hut I might have known better than to toll this story to Aunt Penny, born fighter that she was. Since I could remember, Aunt Penny had never been so happy as when she was doing; battlo with some one. 1 loved her warlike spirit, but when she changed in a minute to the soldier she was, and declared, "Agatha, this shall be looked aftet' Immediately!" 1 saw far consequences of my rash conduct. , She left me with her fine eyes glow- i [i\K with battle light, and I fled In the 1 limousine that had waited for mo for i an hour to the oflice of Leon Masters. He had received the letter that morning, I knew, if the mails had done their usual work. Ho took me to his Inner sanctum and I hurried my explanation: " i.eon Mr. Masters?I've told Aunt Penny (hat you?that you are tho , one who didn't wish?she is hurt, ' very much hurt, I,eon, and angry? j and I thought ttiat perhaps you would tell her that it Is you who decided that it isn't best!" I.eon looked unutterably relieved. "Is that all, Agatha?" he said. "I was afraid very much afraid- that you did not mean?tbat you might i have reconsidered your letter- that! you were not -that you wanted to go ' on, you know!" His blunt words, bis evident satisfaction with what I hnd done brought the hot blushes to my face.

He took my hand In his. "Agatha! Miss Penryn!" he paid, "what can I eay to you?what can I do?" Sitting there wi'h mv hand in his, I told him the whole bald, disagreeable truth lie bent over mo when I had finished. "Agatha!" he whispered. "Dear!" T.ovo that had fled from a lone courtship came to in*' that instant 1 without any courtship. I loved Leon's father, and I know It. I found myself swept, unresisting. Into his arms.

If parent9 realized the fact that coffee contains a drug?caffeine?which is especially harmful to children, they would doubtless hesitate before giving the babies coffee to drink. "When I was a child in my mother's arms and first began to nibble things at the table, mother used to give me sips of coffee. Ah my parents used coffee exclusively at meals I never knew there was anything to drink but coffee mui w-itnr "And so 1 contracted the coffee habit early. I remember when quite youhg the continual use of coffee ho affected my parents that they tried roasting wheat and barley, then ground it In the coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee. "Hut It did not taste right and they went back to coffee again. That was long before Postum wan ever heard of. I continued to use coffee until 1 was 27, and when I got Into office work, I began to have nervous spells. Especially after breakfast 1 was bo nervous I eould scarcely attend to my correspondence.
