samaritan, while she, with loving skill for
Gods less favored children, smooths the
way to the grave.
But something more substantial than
passive sympathy is required when cases are
reported of inyallds on beds improylsed from

The second series OF dances by the Mon
day Night club was inaugurated on Monday
evening last at the Mllard hotel While the
attendance was not so large as at any of

in tripping across the canvassod floor seemed
to add to their pleasure
The dance was thoroughly informal. Dane
ing commenced soon after S o'clock. and
ceased some twenty minutes before mid
night in order to allow the dancers to ad-
here to the rule OF the club requesting the
use Of street cars instead Of carriages, ex-
cept on special occasions. Many young So

ON those participating, the floor was cleared
and the balance of the evening was spent in
dancing, while others whiled the hours away
In an enjoyable manner with cards In an
adjoining room. Refreshments were served
and very good time was had, II the pleas
ing countenances and remarks made during
the evening may serve as criterion. An
unusually large attendance was enjoyed. the
crowd numbering upward OF 800 people. The
various committees deserve a word OF praise
for the success which characterized the en-
tertainment both from financial and social

Speaking Of men in society, as locally con
sidered. a notable feature of most of the
recent dancing parties has been the pre-
pon1erance of them. Male wall flowers are
said to be among the most miserable beings
on earth; and they are in no sense orna-
mental or soothing to the eye. At the
last Monday Night party, for example. the
men far outnumbered the women, and as a
natural consequence every womans card
was filled with a celebrity most gratifying to
her amour propre, while a dozen or more
Of men were crowded out Of proper partici-
patton in every dance. 1t is said that on
this and several other occasions of late a
good many young women have been kept
at home for lack Of escort. No one has
invited them, and their papas have been
otherwise too deeply engaged to spare the
time and strength Among the number of
those so slighted were doubtless many who
would have gladly foregone a carriage and
Travelled quite contentedy in a street car
But man must know woman pretty we'll
before he win ask her to take her ball gown
into motor on sloppy night, and it is
probable that most of the men who went
alone in that economical conveyance would
cheerfully have paid an extra fare II 1t had
been merely q question OF expense.

sort Of lcthargy has seemed to per-
wade society since the last weekly commen-
tary. These periodical Gibbs and flows of
energy. like similar phenomena in other
departments OF the visible universe, have
their own subtle laws, which are often tCo
complex to admit Of satisfactory straighten-
ing out even II the investigator cared to
pursue them through intricate windings to
their inaccessible source, Doubtless the un-
seasonable weather, which continues to
turn the winter months into another au-
tumn aud to bring the California rainy sea-
son to our very doors, has much to do
with it; but other causes must be sought
for the Unexpectedly light attendance at
the Monday Night club party last week.
Aside from this entertainment, which was
quite as successful any OF its forerun-
nors except in point of numbers present,
there we're no large evening society doings.
Afternoon teas and receptions OF necessity
lack In great measure the charm OF men
society, and although an assemblage com
posed exclusively of women can compete
with any other in point Of joyous and all
pervading din and confusion absolutely be
widering to masculine ears, it is not con-
sidered to fiji the requirements Of the av-
eiage seeker after pleasure with anything
like the completeness afforded by gather
ing in which both sexes participate. Several
of these daytime functions have given pleas
ure during the week TO limited circles of
women guests while the men as a rule
have been free to follow their own devices,
so far as the demands of society were con-
cerned.

The secret of happiness is health. The
secret of woman's attractiveness is health.
Health is responsible for the ecstasy of a
l,vers kiss-of husbands love. Health
makes plump, smooth neck and shoulders
full cheeks, bright eyes, red lips, a
breath like flowers. Ill health brings
out the bones, deadens the eyes and skin,
whitens the lips, makes the breath un-
bearable. No woman likes to be hideous
no woman likes to see the love light
fade from her husbands eyes. No wo-
man need be unhealthy or unattractive.
Ill health in women is nine times in ten
directly traceable to same disease or dis
order of the organs distinctly feminine,
These things are serious, but they can be
cured--sometimes quickly and easily
sometimes slowly, but always surely by
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
This wonderful medicine Is designed
for one single purpose,-to make women
healthy in womanly way. To stop the
burning, aching pain and facilitating
drains common to diseased womankind.
The almost miraculous help it gives is
best told by those who have used it. The
following letter is only one chosen at
random among thousands.
