to make the most of this last night of
freedom. 1 tried lo be Jolly, and suc-

And after Max had told the most
Improbable tale, which Leila advised
him to sprinkle salt on, and Dallas
had done a clog dance, Bella said it
was time for her complexion sleep
and went downstairs, and broke up
the party
"If she only gave half as much care
In the luxury of Ita warmth I snug-
gled down and went to sleep almost
instantly It seemed to me I had slept
for hours, but It was probably an hour
or less, when something roused me
The room was perfectly dark, and
there was not a sound save the faint
ticking of the clock, but I was wide
awake.
And then came the incident that In
its ghastly, horrible absurdity made
the rest of the people shout with
laughter the next day. It was not
funny then. For suddenly the eider-
down comfort began to alip. I heard
no footstep, not th* slightest sound
approaching me. but the comfort
moved; from my chin, inch by Inch, It
slipped to ray shoulders; awfully, In-
evitably, hair raislngiy it moved. I
could feel my blood gather around ray
heart, leaving me cold and nerveless.
As It passed my hands I gave an In-
voluntary clutch for It, to feel It slip
away from my fingers. Then the full
horror of the situation took hold of
me; as the comfort slid past my feet
I sat up and screamed at the top of
Miy voice.
Of course, people came running in
In all sorts of things. I was still sit-
ting up. declaring I had seen a ghost
and that the house was haunted. Dal-
las was struggling for the second arm-
hole of his dressing gown, and Bella
had already turned on the lights. They
nald I had had a nightmare, and not to
sleep on my back, and perhaps I was
taking grippe.
And Just then we heard Jimmy run
down the stairs, and fall over some-
thing. almost breaking his wrist. It
was the eiderdown comfort, half-way
up the studio staircase!

SCALES ALL OVER HER BODY
"About three years ago I was af-
fected by white scales on my knees
and elbows. 1 consulted a doctor who
treated me for ringworm. I saw no
change and consulted a specialist and
he claimed I had psoriasis. I contin-
ued treatments under him for about
six months until I saw scales break-
ing out all over my body save my
face. My scalp was affected, and my
hair began to fall. I then changed
doctors to no avail. I went to two
hospitals and each wanted to make a
study of the case and seemed unable
to cure it or assure me of a cure. I
tried several patent medicines and
was finally advised by a friend who
has used Cuticura on her children
since their birth, to purchase the
Cuticura Remedies. I purchased a
cake of Soap, the Ointment and the

the itching was allayed.

It was just after dinner that the
surprise was sprung on me. Mr. Har-

and asked me if I felt able to go up on

night! I had to gather myself togeth-

back their chairs, showing Flannigan
the liqueur glasses to take up. and
lighting cigars.
"I do not care to go." I said Icily.
"The others are coming." he per-

arm up the stairs." .

said, looking at him steadily Max,

and left me.

except Mr. Harbison and Bella, who
was taking a mass of indigestibles to

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain in Some People.
A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for a long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience, as follows:
"I became satisfied some months
ago that I owed the palpitation of the
heart from which I suffered almost
daily, to the use of coffee. (I had been
a coffee drinker for 30 years) but 1
found it very hard to give up the bev-
erage.
"One day I ran across a very sen-
sible and straightforward presenta-
tion of the claims of Postum, and
was so impressed thereby that I con-
cluded to give it a trial.
"My experience with it was unsat-
isfactory till I learned how It ought
to be prepared—by thorough boiling
for not less than 15 or 20 minutes.
After I learned that lesson there was
no trouble.
"Postum proved to be a most palat-
able and satisfactory hot beverage,
and I have used it ever since.
"The effect on my health has been
most salutary. The heart palpitation
from which I used to suffer so much,
particularly after breakfast, has dis-
appeared and I never have a return of
it except when I dine or lunch away
