 II always enjoyed good health un- til six months before the birth of my babe. Then was very weak; my back ached all the time. My physicians said I would be all right after the birth of the child, but I was not, although at that time I had the best of care. The pains in my back were almost un- bearable. I had leucorrhoea in it's worst form; menstruations were pain ful.
 "Any work or care would entirely unnerve me. When my babe was II months old, friends persuaded me to take Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Before I had taken one bottle felt the effects. My back did not ache so badly, and I felt stronger After taking four bottles I felt well. My ambition returned, menstruations were painless. leucorrhea entirely cured, and I could take care of my babe and do my homework. I shall always recommend your Vegetable Compound for all women, especially for young mothers. ."-MRs. H. L.. GooLD, Oregon, Wis.
 If Mrs. Goold had been we'll before the birth of her child, subsequent suffering would have been avoided. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound should always be taken before and after birth, in order that the system may withstand the shock.

Mr.. Percival s. Garden was a very, or at
least he felt he was. very superiuous
man; albeit he had struggled desperately
and manfully to disprove his own convic-
dons OF that point. He was standing near
to marble group in the drawing room of
the Madison avenue home of the divers

him vaguely that the group might have

terlng away of precious time, which these
sparkling, vacuous bubbles of social diver
sion induce.
Harden was not very popular member
OF his set on account of perilous faculty
ne had OF avoiding these very amenities he
now SO merciless,y rated. He was to be
round at this recep:ion-well, If the matter
were probed TO the bottom, principally be-
cause he was rather fond of the Olivers;
@ ana JACK ohver had reminded him he must
not send a regret at the peril of serious
breach in their friendship, adding:

jolly subject for discussion when things
threaten to drag"
Notwithstanding all this, Garden went to
the reception, and occasioned little COM
ment, or surprise even, except among his
most intimate friends, who alone were
aware OF his peculiarities, so nicely did he
disguise them. He was one of the busiest
men IN New York; that fact was patent

Some one plucked his sleeve. 1t was his
hostess

barrassment when she put end to it
prettily, sparing him the additional con-
fusion of an explanation.

"Indeed!'
Yes. Let me fetch you to an old friend

Then when they were alone, said Garden
to Alice Coates:

Now here very singular thing occurred.
Alice, of course, might have turned the
conversation into other channels; rerlinis-
erces of old times; experiences in the in
terval which had elapsed since last they
met. an hundred and one other diverting
subjects might have been introduced and
that would have been the end of it: but.
instead. she fell into a meditative mood,
rendering upon the subject at hand, fas-
cinated by its very brilliant, though OBJ
viously absurd. novelty. She could not
dismiss it from her mind nor could she
ever tell what had held her SO potently in
Its spell. 1t came to her gradually that
such an erratic hsrangue from any" one
save Percy Garden would have been simply
offensive. But he had been ever such a
dear old friend-and such a character!
! How sad and lonely he must be with bust
hess alone to occupy him! See his face

stood him! To the world he was an un-
desirable crank, an iconoclast, cynic, an
offensive pessimist. She understood him

heart against many of the foibles and fool
