MADAME DE Reissx.

Madame De BoSssy.
The Paris correspondent of an English pa
per says:
:" confess THAT it is rather like ancient his
tory writing about lady who was in innate
with Byron, has seen, or might have seen,
Moore, Trelawney and Shelley, and whose
early history is wrihen in memoir which is
itself" very old-fasbioned,' almost forgotten
never heard OF before in my time and that
sort OF thing, to the present generation; vet
/ am gong to devote few lines to such a
lady. Only last evening was present at the
Hotel OF the Marquise De Boissy, who has
just commenced her Monday evening recep.
tions. As to the age OF Madame la Marquise.
or of airy other lady, Of course one can know
nothing; but l should say from her appear.
ance that she must be fast approaching her
eighth lustre; but she preserves her beauty
wonderfully, even if she is forty; and as for
her hair, why, in these days OF deception and
chignon, it is a striking example OF how SUI
perior nature is to art Madame Boissy, too,
retains all the magical manner OF YOUTH But
I really think must be mistaken in her age
ior see that next longest day it will be ex-
actly half a century since she told Byron to
write The Prophecy Of Dante Thou in
the pride OF beauty and of youth spakest, and
for thee TO speak and be obeyed are one,'
wrote the great poet at Ravenna, ON the 21st
June, 1919; and took quite young and still
very handsome lady only last night into the
retreshment room, and she was the lady OF
the sunny South to whom those lines were
addressed. Apart from tie recollections which
must be pleasant to any one who, like myself,
is of the same opinion as the late Lord Hol-
land, that If the present race Of poetasters
write poetry, Byron did not and reverence
the memory OF the dandy-poet, Madame dc
Boissy's parties are very pleasant. Her well
pitable but cordial, while her house itself is a

Important Certificate!
speedy Cure Of whooping Cough


am not in the habit of taking advertised med-
cnes OF certifying to their curative effects when
they come under my observation; bnt feel con-
strained to make an exception IN favor OF DoDDs
NERvINE and Invieorator, medicine have used
in my family for some Time past My little daughter
had been Offering from severe whooping cough for
several weeks, and was so much broken OF rest at
night that-by excessive coughing aud loss OF sleep
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies or pallatves were
recommended by intimate Leighbors. but nothing
was tried until our attention called by physi-
clan not now in practice to Dodd's Nerve. This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
feet immediate and surprising. As the convusions
were hardest at night, we bean by giving the Ner-
vine on her going to bed. Tie first dose administer
ed made its impression; the cough became less fire.
quent and very much less severe, she soon got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vigor, and in few days was as well as ever. WHAT
was left of the whooping cough thereafter of no
trouble OF course cannot but consider Dodds
Nervine and Invigor tor an invaluable romedy TOR
this distressing maledy. l may add that have
since recommended it to several family friends, In
like circumstances, and have found it in every case
to be equally successful It needs only to be known
to come into universal demand.
