''In the course of two days our family
physician came in and, saying that he
found me about the same, finally told me
that he had concluded to ask for cOun-
sci. He informed me that l might
choose any doctor l preferred to meet
him in consultation.

pretty badly Off?
HE answered, Il certainly do, and
shall not prescribe for you again until
some other doctor sees you, as | do not
know what to give you next

be offended, but have not taken any of
your medicine for two days but am tax

it will help you l shall be very glad.
You may continue its use week and if

''Since that time our family physician

spring medicine. EVERYBODY needs
spring medicine and both physicians and
the people unite in pronouncing this the
best of spring remedies. Use it now,

it because it, is not patent medicine
but a phpsician's prescription, the dis

Greene of "a Temple place, Boston, Mass,

the entire equipment it is simple.
In ON apartment where lives a woman
who is an artist in fact as well as name
there stands a table too perfect in its way
to be omitted here, and yet it is as SIM
pie as simple can be. It is made of bam-
boo, is circular in shape and consists Of
two shelves or tiers. On each of these is
laid a dolly of oriental make which
covers the entire surface, and every OBJ
ject used is of some eastern make.
The cups were picked up at bargain
sales or are odd bits sold for a song be-
cause of having no others with which to
make up a set. The urn is of Japanese
bronze; the teapot, sugar bowl and jug
for cream are all fine specimens of Dwarf
china and were bought not all together,
but singly when occasion offered, and the
spoons are all of Japanese bronze.
Every day when the aesthetic woman is
at home tea is made at the proper hour,
and any friend who happens in is sure
to find good cheer. The tea served is the
finest Ceylon that the market affords,
and even though there may be added
only the plainest Of crisp biscuits the
feast is fit for the gods. The perfect
setting is in itself a treat, and the tea,
drawn after the method of the true lover
of the herb, is a revelation to all who

self to do original things, and described
in the New York Herald, yellow was the
color and chrysanthemums were the
flowers chosen. In place of one table
there were three, each presided over bya
young girl dressed in a costume in which
yellow was the predominant tone. The
cloths were all of the finest satin damask,
and each was embroidered in some con-
ventional design with golden yellow silk.
Tall vases Of chrysanthemums were
placed upon each table and punches of
the glorious beauties were tied with rib
bon and laid upon the cloth. They
formed clusters at every corner, while
the rich satin ribbon tied them in place
and trailed across the cloth between.
Candles of yellow wax shaded with
yellow shades threw their soft light
upon the tables and upon the lovely
girls who poured the tea, and lamps,
also shaded with yellow, lighted the en-
tire room. Chrysanthemums filed
ample vases upon the mantle shelf, and
each Lady guest was presented with a
single, long stemmed blossom as a
memento of her call.
Only light refreshments were served,
as the hostess claims that tea should not
outrun it's function and spoil the dinner
that is to come, but these were so ar
ranged as to embody the chosen color in
every possible way.

toned, but are often none the less at
tractive for that fact. One hostess who
is at home every Thursday has a table
that stands always ready for use. It oc-
cupies one corner of her drawing room
and is just large enough to hold the
dainty cups, the kettle, the pot and the
needed paraphernalia. 1t is spread with
a cloth of fine white linen, embroidered
with an effective floral design. The
china is all of the eggshell sort, and the
spoons are genuine souvenirs, having
been collected by their owner in her vari-
GUS trips abroad. But the object that
gives the final touch and that speaks a
welcome to each and every conner is the
coy that warns with the tea and the
hearts of the guests. It is made of cham
