LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM no. 4z,3Q5l
DEAR slRs. PINKHAAi-For two
years felt tired and so weak and dizzy
that some Gays 1 could hardly go
around the house. Backache and head
ache all the time and my food would
not digest and had such pains in the
womb and troubled with leucorrhea
and kidneys were affected.
After birth of each child grew
weaker, and hearing so much of the
good you had done, wrote to you and
have taken six bottles of Lydia Z.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, one
box of Lozenges, one box of Liver Pills,
one package of Sanative Wash, and to-
day am feeling as well as l ever did.
When | get up in the morning l feel as
fresh as | did when girl and eat and
sleep well and do all of my work If
ever | feel weak again shall know
where to get my strength. 1 know
yourmedicine cured me. "-MRs. SALIVA
ARcHAMBo, CHARLEMoNT, MASS.
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled; 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
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women year. All women who suffer
are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham
at Lynn, Mass, for advice, which viii

furned lard is the ''pomade' OF conf
raerce. not the poInades used for hair
or beard, but the crude material out OF
which these are afterwards Inanutac-
tured. The lard is then either shipped
as ii is to other manufacturers, or put
into alcohol which draws off the per-
fume from the fat. having stronger
attraction, therefore, than the lard, and
the result is the finest eau de cologne.
Most of this pomade is shipped as IT
sands to all parts of Europe and
America but some of it is reserved and
the oils are extracted by distilling pro-
cesses, making the pures. extracts. SO
much for the industry which has made
Grasse rich and famous. But in this
story lies much that is suggestive for
us in the United States,
1t is beyond question that in many
portions of the United States, just as
fine and strongly perfumed flowers can
be raised as in France. The varieties
Of rotes for instance, which are best
for making perfumes are not the Amer
lean Beauties, or La France, but the
conmoner varieties, which will grow
luxuriously almost anywhere in the
states. 1t is certain that If the atten-
ton of some of our women were direct
ed to this matter, they could earn many
q dollar pleasantly by the manufacture
of perfumes. 1t would require no com
plicated machinery to make pomade
just as it is made at Grassa. The lard
could be bought and refined, it could
be spread on the plates of glass, and it
would be both pleasant and profitable
to spend few weeks in June picking
roses and spreading the leaves on the
absorbing fat Then if you did not
care to make the cologne yourself, you
could sell your pomade and get good
price for it.

mixed with pearls or colOred stones, but
massed lin one wave of dazzling light
over the bust and shoulders. Spangled
and jeweled nets, priceless Venetian
point and ropes of pearl may be worn
by every other rich nlatren, but Mrs.
Astor is true to her theory that a
princess satin frock and the whitest of
diamonds display her beauty to the
greatest advantage.
This year Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt
the elder is in heavy mourning, but
season after season she has been ac-
knowledged the posSess0F of the most
stately COSTUMES ever seen in the opera
house. Satin brocaded in very large
and elaborate flowers and made with
extensive trains, were her favorite tot
lets. Like Mrs. Astor, she rarely wore
any veilings of laee, for though a
grandmother, Mrs. Nanderbibt's figure
is as slim and straight as a girls, and
this fine feature She never allows her
dre5smaker to obscure One never end
ing source of interest to opera goeFs
was Mrs. Vanderbilt's pearls, for un-
like Mrs. Astor, she preferred them to
diamonds, and though her evening
gowns were cut decollete, her throat,
shoulders and bust were absolutely
clothed in first a tall pearl dog collar
and then row after row of rare pink
and white beads. until a complete CAMP
to her open necked gown was formed.
There We're twenty two strings in all,
the last one falling into her lap when
she assumed her chair in the front Of
the box.
Mrs. oliver Belmont and Mrs. George
Gould can be always distinguished in
the gay opera circle by the exceedingly
brilliant costumes of many mixed hues
that their rich, almost uniquely orien-
tai. beauty entities them to assume.
They are the only two women who dare
wear clear flame colGr and bright or

in high necked and long aleeved COS

their toilets as surnptuous as for the

Grasse. in the southern part of
France, is the center OF the perfume in
dustry. There the women and girls
may be seen, with broad hats on their
heads gathering flowers from 5
o'clock until II in the morning, and
then returning with their fragrant bur
dens TO the houses, where they pluck
the leaves from the blossoms and pass
the rest of the day in preparing them
for the work of extracting the essences
or essential oils, which contain the per-
fume itself.
In March they begin picking violets,
from which the popular violet water is
made, and from the beginning OF May
to the end of June they gather the jess
anime roses and orange blossoms, az
well as the tube roses in July. the
mignonette in August and the cassia in
September. But the maidens are not
gathering blossoms to sick into their
hats or to clasp at their belts TO add to
personal charms: it is their daily
bread. earned in a beautiful and de-

million kilogrammes of jessamine TO

blossoms TO the extent of 100000 kilo

OF the number of plants that are raised

TORTOISE SHELL ORNAMENTS.
More Popular Than Ever and Have
Many Uses

At the present time tortoise shell or
naments are very much in evidence,
and perhaps the newest and SmarteSt
of all these beautiful things is a small
bouquet holder that pins on the front
of the gown 1t is devised 20 hold just
enough water to keep fresh few spllgs
of lemon verbena, heliotrope, or bit of
some other sweet smelling plant. In
shape the holder is similar TO small
tube about three inches long. At the
| lower end it is tapering and closed, The
top is finished with a narrow band of
gold, and at the back there is a pin
also of gold with a strong clasp. By
its means the holder is always held in
an upright position.
The same material is being much
used for the handles of parasols, and
very beautiful ones are TO be found in
the fashionable shops. The handsom-
est one that has yet been seen was

Switzerland, where she had it carved

asol handles, or rather for the handles
of the small umbrella parasols that are
called by the French, en- tout cas- as
they answer equally well for rain or
shine.
The word large hardly seems to ex-
press the dimensions of the back combs
at present, and they are made either
of a solid, severe piece of curved shell,
or they are most Enthusiastically carved,
Cupids drawing chariots and swans fly

even so. it is far from being every style

TO pin in the hair, modelled from those
made of wired ribbons that of late

elites. For such purposes the shell is
used very thin and is quite transpar-
ent.
