Very pret- tily, in the familiar chat of a societ i magazine which devoted.a part of its pages each month to well known people, was told the story of how { Margot, the daughter, had been {called Cherie by her ich_ gover- ness and how that affectionate appel- lation had been Americanized to “Cherry”, by members of the family and the circle of immediate friends. ! a title to which she seemed o suited that it clung to her through all the adolescent years. Jim Mohun watched with good-na- tured tolerance this surprising prog- ress of the family upward through the fringe of society and at last into its very woof and warp, but he inter- posed no objections, footing the bills growing greater each year. e realized that the social affiliations which his wife was bringing him had added value to his business connec- tions, which increased yearly in pres- tige. But, as the vears went on and the demands of his many interests grew more exacting, he was content Tto leave the control of his scoial d jtinies entirelv in the hands of the author of them and to devote more and more of his time to the accumu lation of the -large sums of mone: which were required to pay the new obligations he had thus assumed.

But each new oe- casion when he met them seemed to strengthen the bellef that, if a trifle spoiled, they were very remarkable children, quite superior, in fact, to any others of their acquaintance, for, in addition to personal beauty, which they took from their mother, they had inherited a little of his own def- Initeness and much of his magnetism. And so Jim Mohun was quite willing to believe what other people told him —that his wife was the most capable as well as the most beautiful woman in New York. The town house. though not large. was in a fashlonable neighborhood and decorated with those colors which comported best with the burnished £old of Alicia Mohun's hair. Her hair had always been rather gorgeous, and the threads of gray which had appear- ed upon her temples were banished by means of a secret process known only to herself and her mald. But she was Wwise enough not to make the mistake of “doing it all over,” as so many women of her set had done, and trust- ed to its natural vitality to preserve the wave and color. The youthfuln of her figure and face, which decel S0 many as to her exact age, was the result of habits of abstemiousnes: regular massage and the use of var ous unguents, the ingredients of nbt even her own daughter Her face was her religion, and were the secret hours spent upon the ritual of regeneration. But the real secret of her perpetual vouth lay in the nice adjustment of ler ‘mental processes, with the”theory that it is worrles which age one and not the years, she permitted no thought to enter her head which would cause her the least anxiety or dismay.

D. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 2 upon the subject, she said nothing of them, but it was clear to those who knew her well that in the end she would probably do exactly as she pleased. Her mother knew that she swore, that she smoked, that her self- sufficlency as a driver of ambulances in Paris had made the thought of & chaperon a joke, and that she was accustomed to go whither she pleased by day or night with any companions she chose, either male or female. But Mrs, Mohun comforted herself with the assurance that these wers but passing phases of social custom and that Cherry under any conditiony was now quite able to look out for her. self. And so Mrs. Mohun made no at- tempt to stem the tide of careless- ness, of recklessness in the habits and customs of the younger set. She fol- lowed the example of other mothers above and below her in the social scale, who, rather than risk the pop- ularity of their daughters, figurative- Iy closed their eyes, turned their backs and put their trust in God. But Cherry went on her way bliss- fully unaware of the n the part of her mother. as she called her, a good sort, and neither of them took very seriously the half-bantering sugges- tions as to the proper conduct of Cherry 1 campalgn. There was mnot the slightest doubt as to its success. Everybody told her thut she was lovely and quite all right in every other way. And Cherr: believed what everybody said. She was a child of nature 1f any one had told her that the conduct of the crowd of young people h whom she consorted tended to demoralize the tone of soclety, she would have replied with perfect’ can- dor and some resentment that they were all straight as strings and as fine a lot as anybody would find an where, And, moreover, that, in 80 far as she personally was concerned, the “tone of soclety could go to the devil” If Dad thought she was all nothing and nobody else mat- Perliaps if Dad had taken to inquire as to some of the es- jcupades of her set. he might have undeceived her.

Three Factors in Coffee Enjoyment 1—the coffee from which it is made. 2—the way it is made. 3—the discerning taste of the coffee drinker. In fastidious households, the third factor is of great importance. There the high standard of coffee discrimination calls for the best in coffee- making skill and the very best brand of coffee. It was for these households that Chase & San- born produced good coffee as long ago as 1864. And the steady increase in the sale of Seal Brand Coffee attests its growing popularity. Seal Brand is packed in one, three and five pound tins only. It is always fresh and it is sold by reliable grocers everywhere.
