Severe Attack of Grip Cured by One Bottle

Iy cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, n. Y. This is the
honest truth. l at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
on at night / would take dose and
it seemed that in the briefest inter
val the cough would pass off and
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting il
very mildly. l had no idea that ii
would or could knock out the grip
simply because / had never tried ii
for such purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and l had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

The most notable letters, however
from those not ashamed to stamp them
selves as paupers and deadbeats in

Some of these were from girls wanting
help to buy bridal trousseaux. On the

there were many letters from begging

1t is no more than Helen Gould's plain
duty to distribute Jay Gould's wealth
where it will do good Very well. But
how many American millionaire women
are doing with their wealth as Miss
Gould is? Note that she did not buy a
needy princeling or duke or any of the
penniless small fry of European aris-
tocracy and go off to live abroad with
him where he may spend with least
scandal the rents she draws from
American properties. The princelets
and dukelets have sought to sell them
selves to her and sought in vain. Con-
sidering what so many American mil
lionaire women have done with their
money. it is a credit to Helen Gould to
live in her own land and disburse the
riches she inherited in doing good
She was duly presented in fashionable
society on coming of age in 1891 Its
flowers and fiattery We're laid at her
feet, its music and incense were waited
to her. She scented the incense, she
listened briefly to the music. She at

turned from all the scene. saying frank
ly that it bored her. Her heart was
in none of it. 1t became plain, as was
said, that Miss Gould did not care for
that sort of thing" That sort of
thing is the thing a hundred thousand
of the women of America would almost
give their eyes for.
What Miss Gould does care for is her
family and a few friends and the wide
philanthropies she promotes. Part of
her time is occupied in the manage
ment of her great properties, the rest
largely with the furthering of her kind
| ly enterprises. Here is one of her speci-
men days: She enters her business Office
at $3.50. Three aphers-women-
await her. A thousand letters week
have to be written by them, and these
Miss Gould dictates
1t is on the whole satisfactory to the
sense of justice that the lady seldom
sees the begging letters. The chief
secretary reads and disposes of them
| They are so numerous that most OF
them are answered by merely a printed
circular. In the afternoon Miss Gould
goes out for business calls-rarely for
social ones. Her chief secretary goes
with her, making notes in memo

one of the vice presidents of the wo-

Well, that happens to lots of girls
through sheer bad management Man
agement is the great thing. The girl
who has seven admirers on one evening
and then an interregnum of four or five
dreary, lonely evenings before the per-

to blame-also the girl who allows her
tete-a-tetes to be interrupted by chance
callers.
This is the time of the year when the
clever girl makes for herself dainty
little dress accessories in the shape of
sashes, embroidered collars and fichu
berthas to go on evening gowns. These
things all take time and they are of
such nature that they can easily be
worked on the piazza while chatting
with ones friends.
