THE RIGHT TURN OF THE HEAD.

"Now 1 will tell you something for

1t was a beauty expert in Paris,

of mysterious secrecy in her eyes

The conversation had drifted upon
women and she had been deprecatlng,
in her airy French way, the fact that
many women, really pretty and at
tractiVe when one took the trouble to
study and analyze them. lacked the
art and intelligence to play up their
best points and make the most of
themselves.
Have you ever thought what a wom-
ans throat means to her?' she in
quired. 1T is strange how foolish
some women are. Do you know, there
is nothing so sweet and lovable in a
woman as a fine contour of throat and
neck, nothing so adorably noble and
dignified as the poise of her head, and
nothing which appeals to mans re-
spect and admiration so surely as a
proud patrician tilt to her chin?
Why l once asked a certain Amer
lean millionaire what he most loved
about a girl, for whom he was cheer

reflected a and said.

Here the beauty expert made a sug-
ton of a shrug and lightly held out
the pretty pink palms of her slender
hands. The gesture was in answer
to a half-formed "How?" which was
never spoken.
How. indeed, my dear, except by a
little intelligence and a little study.
Do not tell me that any woman is too
stupid to know her own style, once
her attention is given to the study of
it.
Look at me, for example; l am not
by nature a pretty woman, not at all.

Madame, ah, well, no, she is not

How This Question Spoiled an Ami

Fifth Avenue JeweIer Shattered IL

A Fifth avenue jeweler. says the
New York Sun, mended the clasp of a
pearl necklace the other day and incl
dentally shattered an illusion. The jew
els had been brought to him by a
young girl once wealthy herself and
descended from a rich family. Most
of the money that should have gone to
her was squandered by her father, and
OF her expectations there remained
nothing so valuable as a string of
pearls left by her grandmother. Dur
ing her minority these had been in
the possession of her father. When
they came to her she cherished them
as all that remained of a fortune
which was to have been much larger
They were approximately valued at
100000, but that was admitted to be a
conservative estimate.
When they were returned last week
to the jeweler the young woman want
ed know what they were worth. Their
value had not been ascertained by any
member of the family since they were
first bought. The jeweler WINGED I'M

had suspected the extent of her mis-
take, but hoped that he would not be
called upon to make 1t certain But
there was no avoiding it. He lacked
the courage to tell her by word of
mouth, so he sent the disquieting news
by mail. The pearls were excellent
limitations and they could not be worth
more than 5000

the girl was philosophical. She had

A WARNING
TO THE PEOPLE OF SHEPHERDSTOWN.
Much Sickness Predicted This Fall.
Early Precautions Should
Be Taken.

"Our seasons nowadays seem to be all
mixed up" remarked a REGISTER re-
porter the other day to our well-known
druggists, the proprietors Of Remnants
Pharmacy. 1.-The winter seems to have
tumbled into summer and summer into
winter. 1t is stated by health authori-
ties that such sudden changes cannot
help but result in early fall colds, the
grippe and other sickness. This condi-
ton of things is also bad for old people,
or those who are run down or have a
tendency to any weakness or disease"
"You are right, said the proprietor,
the weather indications all point TO a
cold, wet and generally unhealthy fall,
and people are warned TO take extra pre-
cautions TO ward off sickness, especially
the old, and those who are already in
delicate health"
If | could only meet every person in
this town face TO face and tell them
what grand protection to health Nlnol
is, | know | could convince them so
would not have clerks enough in my
store to fill their orders. You see, we
have been selling Vinol for severa
years, and every bottle is sold on a pos
tive guarantee that If it does not do as
we say, we will pay back the money,
and as we have not been asked 10 refund
for more than two bottles out Of every
hundred sold, this proves that Ninol is
successful in ninety-eight cases out OF
every hundred.
We never sold medicine that is so
universally successful aud yet this is
not strange, for Vinol is the only prep
aration of cod liver oil which does not
contain oil, or any disagreeable feature,
yet does contain every one Of the fifty
odd medicinal curatives that are found
in cod liver oil.
If you know Of any one who needs the
grandest, surest, most pleasant tonic re-
builder of strength, one that will posi-
lively cure chronic colds, coughs, bron-
chitis, strengthen the old, build up the

blood, and health in place Of pallor and
weakness, just send them in here for a
bottle of Vinol, and if it does not dc
them good it won't cost them cent.
