In 1929 1t has been found necessary
to slake the Easter thirst with par
tieular drink invented for the occasion.
The one that bids fair to be the most
popular is the llqueur creme de rose,
which comes from Belgium. This is
to be the drink par excellence at the
Easter luncheons. II can only be served
at a luncheon where all the table dec
orations are pink, for it is a rule of
fashion that colors must harmonize
The creme de rose is to be offered at
these lunchsons in pale pink glasses
OF the general shape OF claret glasses.
but somewhat smaller. Several fresh
rose leaves must be floating on the top
OF each glass as they are brought in.
More strictly of an Easter idea is a
new drink of creme de menthe and
erystallized sugar-"spun glass" as It
is better known. This is for a green
orchid luncheon The green mint is
made frappe and the spun glass" rests
upon its top. shaped in the semblance
of tiny lily In this lily. to further
increase the resemblance, is the grated
rind of lemon. sprinkled with gran
ulated sugar. II carefully made this
peculiarly appropriate Easter beverage

once dissolve in the mouth as the Ii
quid pours over it upon the glass be-

Serene comfort and happiness in adj

lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinlham has done much to mako
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health in old age. Fromevery cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs j. C. 0rms, of 220
Horner St, Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
'sDEAR Mrs. PISKUAM:-I feel it my
duty TO tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful 1
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. 1 can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. L
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
