Women Who Faint.
A MODERN APPLICATION OF THE
FAMOUS EPIGRAM, "FRAILTY,
THY NAME Is WOMAN"

1t is a curious fact that the word
faint is derived from n French word
meaning to pretend. The word feint,
meaning a deceptive movement, as by
the boxer or swordsman, has the same
derivation. SO that in unconscious
ness was merely one who felgned ILL
ness. But there is no feigning in that
sudden failure of the vital power which
blanches the cheek, closes the eyes,
seems to stop the breath and sends the
woman an inert mass upon the counter
at which she is shopping. Painting
Is very real for the sufferer who can
not go to ball or theater without this
liability to sudden uncOnsciousness,
menacing her enjoyment and safety.
Why do women faint? Women them
selves would in this advanced age Of
progress be the first to deny the charge
OF physical frailty. They run and row,
they swim and ride. they golf and
shoot side by side with men. And yet
they faint. You rarely hear of a mans
fainting. Such a thing is so uncom-
mon as to partake of the nature of a

Cured at . o'clock last night. Here
is the way Mr. Mikus relates the af-
fair:
Il am executor of the Smith estate
situated in Neptune court. Fred
Wolfe, a brother-n-law to Joe Woel-
kers lives in one of the houses. He
is behind in his payments of rent, and
recently ] sent him a note notifying
him to settle or get out.
Tonight the young daughter of
Wolfe came to my house and told me
that her father wanted to see me re-
garding the rent. I saw him and ar
ranged matters amicably.
when about to leave Woelkers
came out of a dark room and said to
me. What are you doing here: trying
to collect a bill?' / said no, that I
was sent for.
Receiving my reply he pulled his
billy and dealt me a terrific blow on
the head and another on the right
shoulder. Wolfe then interfered and
saved me from what think was
death. l staggered to my home. and
sent for DR.. Ritz, who dressed the
cash on my head and the hruise on
my shoulder"
