r. A Dinner at 81
Mrs. Vanderveer's
BY Francis NJ. Livingston.

TT was the last of Mrs. Wander
j veer's dinners before that lady
made her regular June crossing. She
always did the same thing-went to
London for July, to Ostend for Au-
gust, spent September in the Alps and
Italy, two weeks of Paris in October,
and then home, where she regularly
made her first appearance at the open
ing of the horse show.
Some of her friends suggested the
North Cape, or Vienna, or California
by way Of variety, but Mrs. Wander
veer was used to her route; she knew
all the hotels and they knew her and
what she wanted and she did not wish
to be bothered by making any new ar
rangements.
One thing Mrs. Vanderveer could
90; though, which suited everybody,
and that was to give a dinner. She
not only provided perfect viands, but
she had interesting people, or enough
OF them to leaven the lump of average
dullness, and she usually had
some agreeable surprise in the way of
d dishes, unique favors, or, mayhap,
q celebrated artist.
Jimmie Garretson, although a young
bachelor, was an old friend of Mrs.
.V~anderveer's. and she often relied up-
on him to help her out at her dinners.
She had written him he was to take
in Mrs. LIE Clair, a newcomer, a friend
OF her friends, the Nesbitts, and a
lady with a history which had been
exploited in the yellows almost COIN
cident with her arrival from San
Francisco.

her, Jimmie" wrote Mrs. Vanderyeer.
make it as easy for her as possible.
She is a dear woman, and this is to be
her first appearance in New York So
ciety. 1t will be something Of an or
deal"
Later she wrote him that he was
not to take in Mrs. LIE Clair, for whom
She had thought of some one else. but
the second Miss Nesbitt.
The evening Of the dinner Mrs. Van
derveer seemed perturbed at greeting
Jimmie. You're not to 20 in with
Miss Nesbitt," she said. 'her fiance.

dear, to let me move you around like
this. I'm sure you'll be very nice to
but listen to me, you are always nice!"
She had him by the arm and was
plotting him across the drawing room.
He found himself standing before a
young woman about five
years younger than himself (Jimmie

1T is q serious story-for her. There
should be an ending Of some kind
Well, I hope 1t may be a good one"
said Jimmie, f%ervently.
The lady smiled and spoke Of some
thing else.
A diversion was created by the little
f~air-haired woman on Jimmie's left
dropping q Q S which the young man
picked up and restored to her. This
led to a little conversation between the
two, lasting for, perhaps, three or four
minutes. during which the dark lady
talked with George Nesbitt, who sat
on her right.

Was Weakened by Consumption Un-

Arms Above Her Head.
Washington. D. c.. March 8, 1908

Washington D. c., March 8. 1903.
Gentlemen-In August last my daughter
Elsie was taken with the typhoid fever;
she was in the care of two physicians for
about two months, expecting her to die
every day After the fever broke, both
doctors said it had left her with the con-
sumption and that it was only question
of a few days, and that that they could do
nothing more for her She then could not
raise her hands over her head. My wife
seeing an advertisement of Blood Wine in
the papers, suggested that we try it, as
the doctors had ceased to give her any
medicine. We commenced the Blood Wine
with excellent results; after taking the
first bottle she got out of bed and sat in
an invalid chair, and after the second bot
tie she came down stairs. and kept on Inn
proving right along until she had taken
six bottles, and now she is as well and
strong as she ever was in her life. and If
you should see her you would not think
there were any signs Of consumption.
After being given up by the doctors to
die, Blood Wine spared her life, and we
feel very thankful. We have been using
Blood Wine in the family and have told
many friends Of it, and they also find that
| it is a grand good medicine. Yours truly,
S. RAYNOR.

THE P. o. INVESTIGATION =
Time Wasted Running Down Ru
mors of All Kinds.

Washington, April 15.-In the postoffice
ca ses the mass of complaints coming from
all parts of the country, some of them
specific and valuable and others general
and indefinite has increased the work of
the inspectors to such an extent that Mr..
Bristow is unable to say when he would
complete this delicate work or what would
be the outcome
The sensational reports and the use
made by them by disappointed office
seekers and contractors have seriously
embarrassed the work by mixing lot OF
chaff with the definite complaints The
inspectors are compelled to run dowr
many rumors which originate in disap-
pointment and nothing more.
The main complaints are of favoritisn
and collusion in the letting of contracts
the padding of rolls, the sale of promo
tions and the general extravagance thru
purchase of unnecessary supplies to bene
fit contractors. and these are seriou:
enough to call for the complete reor
ganization of several divisions If not th'
dismissal of number of prominent of
ficialz.

have thought 1 needed to see specialist
in regard to it, but I have not done so.
NV ear has not troubled me in the last
few days. which is remarkable. My head

can see more clearly. I intend to take
more Blood Wine and shall always keep it
in the house. I gave one bottle to my

mend Blood Wine on the strength of what
it has done for me and my child.

CHAPTER XIV.

I Waiting, again. waiting, for what We
knew not, save that the habit Of inaction
seemed to have fastened upon us. leaving

in what We did, and that the future
seemed hung with a curtain which we
dared not, or lacked the energy, to pull
aside. 4.

partly because the Novodnians. sobered
