A Dainty Repast Most men, even though they have hearty appetites, delight in a meal that is served daintily in cosy quarters.

Give a man such a meal, and let him eat it leisurely with friendly faces round him, and you will have a man altogether, contented and happy. The way and the place in which one' spends the noon hour has a good deal to do with the quality and quantity of work that will be done in the afternoon. If you would take the trouble to notice the crowds of men and women who the restaurant in the Touraine' Hotel, at 23 Clinton Street, their daily rendezvous, you would find them a jolly, smiling bunch who seem to find a good deal about which to be cheerful. That is because the food they get at the Touraine is the sort that agrees with people's digestion, and consequently agrees with their dispositions. Everything of the finest, as fresh as it is possible to buy those are two of the secrets of the success of the meals served in this busy hostelry.

Whether be fish, flesh or fowl; whether it be eggs, cheese or milk; whether it be cooked or fresh vegetables or fruits; whether it be cake, pie or ice creams whether it be coffee, tea or other beverage, it is the best that money can buy. And the more frequently the regular patrons visit it the more astounded they are as to how it is possible for. anyone to serve so delicious, so wholesome and so appetizing a meal at so small a price.

For That Sudden Trip Doubtless you are often called upon to take an unexpected trip. Particularly is this true at this time of year when it is so difficult to resist the lure of the great outdoors. Of course, your first thought is of your personal appearance. You rush down to your favorite beauty salon, and often while sitting in the chair having your face massaged, or your scalp shampooed, or your hair curled, you suddenly think of a dozen and one odds and ends that you simply must have before you leave. And yet there is no time to rush down to the stores to get them.

Perhaps that's why Elizabeth M. Reilly has such a popular little shop at 142 Montague Street Although she specializes in all forms of beauty culture, she sells, also, a complete line of all the dainty little things that women love. While you're being beautified you car decide just what you need, and then before you leave, without any wasted time at all, you can make your selections. You may select dainty underthings of silk, silken hose, as well a modish frock, a French chapeau a handkerchief and veil for gifts there are such lovely things a powder box and powder puff, a boudoir doll, a vial of scent and Mah Jong and bridge favors too. Was ever such a shop of conveniences brought to your attention before Not only will your eyes be fascinated by the charming array of novelties, but you will also be more than delighted with the beauty treatments.

Experts are always in attendance, and they give you the sort of treatment that YOU desire. You may be assured that if you once give Elizabeth Reilly a trial you will be numbered among her patrons for all time to come. If you, too, are particular about the sort of food you eat, and if you are looking for a genuine and agreeable surprise, drop in one day soon for either luncheon or dinner or supper and you'll join the merry throng of rooters as well. Putnam, Alias Pekin Not the least picturesque campaigners of the old regular army that fought around the world from the Philippines to the walls of Pekin were the artillery horses Several of them were famous throughout the army and one was retired with forage and given a military burial. Putnam, af-, terward called "Pekin," served with the Fifth Field Artillery from 1898 until 1908.

He went with his battery to Manila and fought in the engagements around Imus Bacoor, was part of Colonel Schwan's expedition through Cabote Province anl was later taken to China. It was under the walls of Pekin that Putnam captured glory. Sergeant Archer in the story his adventures in the army, "Mr. Archer, U. (Doubleday, Page tells how the horse helped to capture the Tartar City.

When the storming started Putnam's section was caught in a cut. The order was to get into action at all costs, but the road was so jammed that the guns could not be moved backward or forward. The officer ordered the guns up the side of the cut, a forty-degree slope. Putnam's team was turned into the bank and the gun started, two tons of steel with the limber filled. As it hit the cliff there was a loud snap.

The forward trace toggle snapped and the whole team quit except Putnam. Then happened something that has never happened before or since. It is the most historic horse story in the Army. Putnam took the bit in his teeth and started up the bank, pulling not only the gun but the five other horses along with him, fighting every his nostrils bulging, his muscles knotting, and his hoofs striking sparks from the slipping stones. He brought the snarling, plunging horses and the two-ton load to the top, fifteen feet above the road, and there he stopped.

The soldiers, who had alt stopped to look, set up a cheer, and from that day old Putnam was called "Pekin." In 1908, the captains of "Pekin's" artillery battery -wrote the history of the horse, and Brigadier-General John J. Pershing endorsed the recommendation that the horse be retired with an artillery battery serving in the Philippines and that he also be allowed to turn out on occasions of ceremony in the rear of his battery, led by one of the soldiers. When Putnam died at the age of twenty, he was given military burial on a hill just outside Fort McKinley in the Islands.
