She is perplcxed about conditions of
which SHE caunot speak to any other.
She thinks of the family physician. But
her delicate nature shrinks from the
questions she might be called upon to
answer. And so without counsel or help
she drifts along while every day time
tightens the fctters pf disease.
Young women instinctively know that
certain conditions are abnormal. They
know that heads and backs were not
made to ache. But they do not know
where to turn for relief.
ANY MOTHER WOULD SAY

The Heart Cry Of the
MOtherleSS Maiden.

Mother, come back from that echoless shore
And take the again in your arms as Of yore."
When the mother is taken from the
home, the loss fails heavily on each
member of the family. But in time
kindly Nature heals the wounds dulls
the memory, and comforts the heart.
The little girl turns anew to her dolls
and her plays and her mother becomes
memory. The real loss that she has
sustained comes to her much later in
life, when cstanding with reluctant feet
where wonianhood and girlhood meet"
SHE feels the need Of mothers counsel.

OF some good plays.
That Charles Coghlans daughter ought TO he
