TWickenham Clubs CotilIon
 To Army Officers

Huntsville, January 9.-(Specal. )-The hop rendered the officers of Camp Forge Satur- day evening by the Twickenham club was one of the most elaborate affairs of the brilliant social season.
 The luxurious club rooms and dance hall were artstically decorated with patriotic colors, while evergreens hung from the picture frames, doorways and chandeliers.
 At g o'clock soft, sweet music floated from behind halo of evergreens to the right of the entrance to the dance hall where the Second Cavalry orchestra was comfortably ensconsed.
 During the evening elegant refreshments were served by trained attendants, and as the ball progressed spirits became more buoyant, and when at last the seductive strains of Home, Sweet Home" crept into the ear of the dancers the verdict of all when saying goodnight" was most meri- toriously complimentary to the hospitabe Twckenham and its host of gallant mem- bers.
 Among the visiting belles from distant states who lent charm to the occasion by the brilliance of their presence were Misses Mildred Ellis of Hickory, N. C., and Eula Patterson lamar of Charlottesville, Va
 Miss Ellis was beautiful in an exquisite gown of black lace over yellow satin, while diamonds scintillated at every graceful step she took.
 Miss lamar was attired in a dream of a white organdy. Being reared under the blissful environment of perfect cline, she has the blue eyes of it's azure sky, the deli cate cheek-colsr of it's wild roses, the bril- lance of its sunsets, the laughter of spark ling rills and the grace and culture of its famous daughters while with dignity, yet with graciousness, she renders her coterie of admirers subservient to her delectable volition.
 Miss lamar will visit Birningh the lat ter part of January.

CTS who had bedn invited to witness the experiments. Here, again. the suspicion might arise of deception, though there is no reason to believe that Mile. Lima has ever had any musical or dramatic training. But direct proof has been forthcoming of the genuineness of the phenomena A Polish musical composer who witnessed some of the experiments asked to be al- lowed to apply a test that would satisfy him that Mile Lima was not merely going through per- formance rehearsed beforehand. What he did was to play Polish country dance that has fallen even in Poland into almost entire oblivion. To his astonishment Mile, Lima went through the dance exactly as it ought to be performed, though 1t was ut- terly impossible that she could have learned the proper gestures and measure.
 Such few of the facts; as to their explanation, that I must leave to Colonel de Rochas or M. Jules Bois.

NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularityis is a matter of importance in every woman's life. Much pain is, however, endured in the belief that it is necessary and not alarming, when in truth it is all wrong and indicates derangement that may cause serious trouble.
 Excessive monthly pain itself will unsettle the nerves and make women old before their time.
 The foundation of woman's health is a perfectly normal and regular per formance of natures function. The statement we print from Miss GER rRUDE SYKES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed In every city, town and hamlet in this country. Read what she says:
 ."DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:--I feel like new person since following your ad- vice, and think it is my duty to let the public know the good your remedies have done me. My troubles were pain ful menstruation and 1eucorrhoea. was nervous and had spells of being confused. Before using your remedies I never had any faith in patent medi- cines. I now wish to say that I never had anything do me so much good for painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound; also would say that your Sanative Wash has cureu me of leucorrhea. I hope these few words may help suffering women"
 The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi- 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 during a single year.
 All suffering women are invited to write freely to Mrs. Pinltham, at Lynn, Mass, for advice about their health.
