that she should be led by very Love into
the ambush where Death, arrow on string,
waits to plant his deadly shaft in her
breast2 Yet so it is. Time and again
Love proves to be Deaths decoy. And
often when the grim archer fails to in
flict mortal hurt, he leaves the suffering
woman TO creep through life like a
brolSen-winged bird.
Why does love lead to suffering2
Many woman has asked that question
piteously and passionately. She has for
saken father and mother to cleave unto
her husband in the belief that so she was
achieving woman's highest happiness.
But instead of happiness she has found
misery, struggled with it until struggle
seemed useless, and at last has come to
accept her misery as the "cross" laid up
on women who love and marry.
There is no real reason why almost
every wife and mother should not enjoy
sound health. The causes of her misery
lie in diseases which affect the delicate,
womanly organism. Disagreeable drains
are carrying away the vital force. In
fammation has lighted its fire for slow
torment. liberation is eating into the
tender tissues. Female weakness is
making life daily martyrdom. Is it
any wonder that the nerves are racked,
that appetite fails, and night, which
should bring rest brings only restless
and troubled dreams?

the womanly diseases which undermine
the general health. 1t dries the drains.

ROYALTY AT THE OPERA.
King Edward, Queen Alexandra,
Princes and Princesses.


LONDON, May S.-The most brilliant
gathering of royalty and society since the
death of Queen Victoria was seen at the re-
opening of the Covent Garden Opera season
tonight. The royal box was occupied by
King Edward and Queen Alexandra, Prin-
cess Victoria and Prince and Princess
Charles of Denmark. The royal household
attended in uniform. giving the air of semi
state function 10 what was really a private
visit, King Edward himself wearing plain
evening dress.
Electricity has been substituted for gas
for lighting purposes, and the huge, time
honOred chandelier of the opera house has
given place to roof lights. n new and lux
urlOusly equipped smoking room has been
added to the royal box.
As the royal persOnageS entered the build
ing the national anthem was played and
the audience rose and joined in the chorus.
a performance of "Lohengrin" was given.
Nine. Nordica was good as Elsa, while
Pennarini. the new Lohengrin, was rather
disappointing. Van Rooy was excellent as
Telramund. A remarkable incident of the
evening was the well-deserved Kissing of
the chorus.
Among the scores of fashionable women
jewels the Duchess of Marlborough. for
merly Miss COnsuela Vanderbilt, was par
ticularly noticeable. The Americans pres
ent included Mr.. and Mrs. j. p. Morgan,
Jr., Mrs. George Cornwallis-West, formerly
Lady Randolph Churchill; Countess Cra-
ven, formerly Miss Cornelia Martin: Mrs.
Won Andre and Mrs. Adair.
