Cd Fashioned Quilting Party.

''Just an old fashioned quilt
ing party was what Mrs. Neil
Mcleod told her friends when
she invited them to bring their
thimbles and spend, Thursday
with her at her home on Michi-
gan street. Well, if that com
pany was a criterion by which
to judge the social affairs of the
olden days, the parties of long
ago must have been quite de-
lightful, as every one there pro-
nounce the day very pleasantly
spent, and the dinner which was
served at IL o'clock was a tri-
umph of culinary skill. The
decorations of the parlors were
palms and blooming plants in
great profusion. The dining
table had a magnificent center
of pink and white carnations.
The hostess was assisted in serv-
ing by Mrs. 7. j. Hennesey.
Tongues and fingers flew until
5 o'clock, when the quilt was
completed. Mrs. Greise was
voted the best quilter in the
company and received a little
souvenir. Among the ladies
present were Mesdames Far
quhar, Greise, Tamisiea, Welsh,
Hennesey, Quarterman, Smiley,
Carlisle, Grabill, Berkeley, Welch,
Hansen, Graham and Miss Allen

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not
only do they minister to the spiritual
and intellectual needs of the charges
committed to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care
of and to protect from climate and dis
ease, these wise and prudent Sisters
have found Peruna a never failing safe
guard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich. :, reads as follows:
DIR. S. B. Hartman. Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir-"The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from larny-
gifts and loss of voice. The result OF
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief and after fur
Their use of the medicine we hope to
be able to say she Is entirely cured"
Sisters of Charity.
The young girl was under the care
of the Sisters of Charity and used Pc
runa for catarrh of the throat with
good results as the above letter testifies.
