A horse attached to a Hotel Jermyn

mend it. Very truly yours. Mayme l.,

In all cases of nervous prostration,
nervous indigestion, neuralgia. sleep
lessness, hysteria or incessant head
ache the objective point of a true
remedy like Paine's celery compound
is to make more blood, gather flesh
and increase the number of red,
health-giving COrpuscles in the blood.
Paine's celery compound fills the
vessels with red blood, drives out the
dangerous humors and thus gives re-
lief to host of aches, pains and weak
ness.
Women and men who have lost
flesh and grown colOrless and are sub
ject to aches and pains, gain quickly
in health from Paine's celery COM
pound. There is hardly a family OF
any size where there IS not some
member who is feeble. forever tired
and below the standard of health 20
whom Paine's celery compound would
prove of invaluable help. Not only
does this great invigorator drive out
the aches and distresses that have
accumulated because of neglected
rheumatism or neuralgia, but the lib
eral gain in flesh and blood that Is
always a noticeable and encouraging
result of its use, brings about better
health in the digestive, assimilative
and secretive organs in other words,
all over the body.

SAUCY BESS' COMMENTS

Professor George Fl. Palmer, of Har-
ward University has recently published
a pamphlet on SELF Cultivation in
English" in which he advises everyone
to resolve to adopt two new words
each week" Many people have been
unconsciously putting this maxim in
to practice for some time, but the new
words they adopt are scarcely the ones
which the learned professor would
probably recommend. 1t is an indica-
ton of the frivolous tendency of the
age that many new words" are those
which might far better remain un-
adopted until the end of the chapter.
The facility with which the latest slang
is assimlated by many young peo-
pie is significant proof that they might
just as readily add new and dignitied,
elegant words to their vocabulary.
There are many sweet, pretty maids
who have had refined training, attend
ed excellent schools and have mingled
with elder people, whose purity Of Eng
lsh is a delight to hear but too often
the younger ones seem to consider it
an altogether desirable thing to be up
to date in slang as well as sleeves. l
wonder if it is because they wish to be
CbllIdlllDIdDlt " the SbullS illtll w ~
surround them; whether they fear to
be considered old fashioned if their
speech is confined to the simplicity of
English used by their class of an old
er generation.
All last summer the popular slang
took on the hue Of golf and the base
ball field. 1t was highly decorative in
certain respects and the acquisition of
Dc .,f
women overstepped the modest aver
age of two a week. One was heard to
use frequently and with much appar-
cnt relish the expressive term swat"
though just what she meant was not
always clear, Another frankly de-
clarcd that she had a few swear words
for which golf was responsible and
which she wouldn't like her mamma
to hear.
A year or two ago Chimmie Fad
den's picturesque style was quite i'm
vogue, and few of the girls yet cling
to "trun him down" and other favor

1t is interesting to watch the prog
ress of slang and note by what easy
and rapid stages it reaches good socie-

the past fortnight the language Of the
stables and of the football field has
been in high favor, and probably will
continue in first place until the Christ
mas holidays. when the college man
comes home with a collection Of fresh
samples of recent date. But what ~
comfort it is that many of the nice
girls do preserve the purity of their
speech despite the pollution Of Eng
lish so constantly heard.
As queried above, is it because they
would be communicable and not too
far removed from the sphere of the
average Young man Of the day that
some young women would initiate his
speech even more closely than his ties
and collars? Not long ago a Scranton
young man in a communicative and
remark:
Il don't know what We are coming
to. I'm sure. The time was, and PM
not patriarch either, when girls sat
with their toes just peeDing out from
beneath their skirts. There was a fas-
cination to us about those dainty little
toes. We fancied that the ankles were
slender and round above the high
arched instep, which now and then was
revealed and swiftly hidden. We enter
tained the most respectful thoughts or
the pretty foot and the trim ankle
which must naturally belong to #.
There is deal of charm in mystery.

the past two years. L believe it's the
bicycle that's done it. The other af-
ternoon lot of us, resting on a friends
Veranda after a bicycle ride sat I'm

There was a great mixture Of feet, big
clumpy tan shoes disreputably barked:
slender, pretty bicycle boots and low
shoes of the girls-all were put up at
an equal elevation and could be equal
ly observed. Finally we all fell to dis
cussing the merits of stockings Some
of the girls wore thick, checked golf
stockings like the mems, and there was
an animated conversation over the
rival merits of green checks versus
red. 1t was all perfectly proper, per-
fectly frank and unaffected on the part
Of everybody; no suggestiveness, no
thought of improperly or loss Of re-
spect, but somehow afterward in
thinking of the way It used to be, I
don't like it, The girls are now splen-
did, jolly chums they are just as
good just as pure and no doubt just
as sweet as they ever were, but
haven't got accustomed to the new
order of things, Guess I'm old-fash-
