A COUNTRY GIRLS QUEST.
Lemon Juice to Kill Freckles, Coral
Beads for School, an d Home
made Hair Curlers.

There is homely fact in ''The Bacil-
lus of Beauty" where the author, Har-
riet Stark, describes the desperate eff.
forts made by country girl to grow
more beautiful. Many old-fashioned
girls will recognize these means OF
elf-beautification:
''Some one had told me that lemon
juice would exercise freckles, and sur
reptitiously I tried it. How my face
smarted after the heroic treatment,
and how red and inflamed it looked!
But in little while back came the
freckles again, just as horrid as ever.
Il wheedled from mother the privi-
lege of daily wearing my coral beads
the ones my cousins had sent me
from New York-and had an angry
fit of crying when one day, while we
children were racing for the school
house at the end of recess, the string
broke and they were nearly all tram
pied upon before could pick them up.
"Next 1 begged the sheet lead lin
ings of tea chests from the man who
kept the general stor,, and cut them
into hair-curlers. I would go to sleep
at night with my short, dampened
hair twisted about these contrivances.
and in the morning comb it out and
admire it as it stood out about my
head in a bushy mass like the Circas-
sian girls at the circus"
The result was discouraging. The
heroine of the tale indeed became the
most beautiful woman in the world;
but it was not by sheet lead hair
curriers' or lemon juice lotion for
freckles. A modern mircale had to be
invoked.

friends big brother Marshall, a frs

classman in all his glory, dancing with
damsels in society, while she was but
a maiden shy in short dresses. Oh, how
Jess had longed to be of that party to
the Point, but her home was in the far
west, her father long dead and buried,
her mother an invalid, and the child
was needed there. Earnestly had old
Folsom written, begging that she who
had been so kind to his little girl should
ne allowed to visit the seashore and
the Point with him and "Pappoose," as
he laughingly referred to her, adopt
ing the school name given by the girls;
but they were proud people, were the
Deans, and poor and sensitive. They
thanked Mr.. Folsom warmly. "Jessie
was greatly needed at home this sum-
mer" was the answer; but Folsom
somehow felt it was because they
dreaded to accept courtesies they could
not repay in kind.
"As if could ever repay Jess for all
the loving kindness to my little girl in
her loneliness" said he. No, there
was no delicious visiting with Pappoose
that summer, but with what eager in
terest had she not devoured the letters
telling of the wonderful sights the
little far westerner saw-the ocean, the
great Niagara, the beautiful Point in
the heart of the Highlands, but, above
all, that crowned monarch, that
plumed knight, that Incompatible big
brother, Cadet Capt. Marshall Dean.

ing of their arrival. He had escorted
them out, papa and Pappoose, to hear
the band playing on the plain. He
had made her take his arm, "a school
girl in short dresses" and promenaded
with her up and down the beautiful,
shaded walks, thronged with ladies,
officers and cadets, while some old
cronies took father away to the mess
for a julep, and Mr.. Dean had intro
duced some young girls, professors
daughters, and they had come and
taken her driving and to tea, and she
had seen him every day, many times
day, at guard mounting, drill, pontoon-
ing or parade, Of on the hotel piazzas,
but only to look at or speak to for a
minute, for of course she was "only
child" and there were dozens of So
ciety girls, young ladies, to whom he
had to be attentive, especially very
stylish Miss Brockway, from New
York, with whom he walked and danced
a great deal, and whom the other girls
tried to tease about him. Pappoose
didn't write it in so many words, but
Jessie reading those letters between
the lines and every which way, could
easily divine that Pappoose didn't fancy
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1900-12-13

Miss Brockway at all. And then had
come wonderful day, wonderful
thing, into the schoolgirls life. No
less than twelve pages did sixteen
year-old Pappoose take to tell it, and
when girl finds time to write twelve
page letter from the Point she has more
to tell than she can possibly contain.
Mr.. Dean had actually invited her
her, Elinor Merchant Folsom-Wino-
ma, as they called her when she was a
toddler among the tepees of the Sioux
-Pappoose as the girls had named her
at school-"Nell," as Jessie called her
sweetest name of all despite the ring
of sadness that ever hangs about it
and Daddy had actually smiled and ap-
proved her going to the midweek hop
on a cadet captains broad chevroned
arm, and she had worn her prettiest
white gown, and the girls had brought
her roses, and Mr.. Dean had called for
her before all the big girls, and she
had gone off with him, radiant, and he
had actually made out her card for
her, and taken three dances himself,
and had presented such pleasant fell
lows-frst classmen and ''yearlings."
There was Mr.. Billings, the cadet ad
jutant, and Mr.. Ray, who was cadet
sergeant ''cut on furlough" and kept
back, but such beautiful dancer, and
there was the first captain, such q
witty, brilliant fellow, who only
danced square dances, and several ca
Diet corporals, all hop managers, in
their red sashes. Why, she was just the
proudest girl in the room! And when
the drum beat and the hop broke up
she couldn't believe she'd been there
an hour and three-quarters, and then
Mr.. Dean escorted her back to the
hotel, and Daddy had smiled and
looked on and told him he must come
into the cavalry when he graduated
netx June, and he'd show him the
Sioux country, and Pappoose would
teach him Indian dances. 1t was all
simply lovely. Of course she knew it
was all due to Jessie that her splendid
big brother should give up whole
evening from his lady friends. Miss
Brockway spoke so patronizingly to
her in the hall when the girls were all
talking together after the cadets had
scurried away to answer tattoo roll
call.) OF course she understood that
if it hadn't been for Jessie none of
the cadets would have taken the
slightest notice of her, a mere chit,
with three years of school still ahead
of her. But all the same it was some
thing to live over and over again, and
dream of over and over again, and the
seashore seemed very stupid after the

HOW 4 PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL
ESCAPED DREADED Consumption.
eruna Used in Time Saved Her Ii
AIS Well That Ends Well.

It is the same old story Of exposure to
tubes to the lungs; the developing of q set
tied cold on the lungs, coughing, expectora-
ton. This is short road to consumption.
Thousands Of people have travelled it. Thou
sands more will travel it and the coming
winter will develop an untold multitude Of
new cases.
In the case of Helen Murphy, the ending
was happy one. She started on the road
to consumption after catching cold at re-
ception. Instead of waiting until she be-
came incurable, Peruna was resorted to and
her life was saved.
It is pity that everyone else in this wide
land could not know of this very effective
remedy in such cases. The news is spread
ing fast but great many people have not
yet heard that Peruna Is . sure cure in these
cases. D...
Peruna cures acute catarrh and chronic
catarrh; catarrh of the head and catarrh Of
the lungs; catarrh of the throat and catarrh
of the stomach. Wherever catarrh may
have located itself, whether in the digestive
organs, kidneys or pelvic organs, Peruna is
sure to eradicate the disease promptly.
Another case where consumption was
cheated of its prey occurred in the state Of
Iowa. The report of the case created con-
siderable attention at the time and was fur
nished us unsolicited by Mr.. Henrickson.
In q letter to DR.. Hartman he sets forth
some interesting details of his rescue from
consumption. He made use of the following
language:
IT have been for years a constant sufferer
from chronic catarrh OF the head and
throat, which finally worked down into the
air passages. In the spring of '9S l took q
severe cold and coughed all summer.
thought had consumption. Then had
bad attack of la grippe. After taking .
course of Peruna feel cured of all these
troubles.
"Whenever any of our children get sick we
give them Peruna, and it never fails to cure
them. l most heartily testify to the value
of Peruna in cases of catarrh and la grippe.
I hope this may be the means of others suf-
fering as did to take Peruna and be cured.
We would not be without it in the house."
Henry Henrickson.
Generally the first cold of the season is
caught in November. With some people
this lasts all winter and lays the foundation
of chronic catarrh. In the beginning few
doses of Peruna is sufficient to make per-
manent cure.
