The faculty gave a social to the stu

future.
Bowdoin college and the University OF

the tonic most needed In this country,
where catarrh is SO prevalent, is q
tonic that operates on the mucous maza~

Peruna is a tonic to the mucous meln-
branes Of the whole body. It gives tone
to the capillary circulation which oon~

Peruna is q specific IN its operation

tonic that strikes at the root OF all ca

where Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh IN all the hid.

Women looked aghast at the new
fashion plates.
They tried wearing pockets in their
skirts, and found themselves not only
bullying unnaturally in spots, but be-
ing robbed daily. Suddenly they dis
covered the uses and abuses of the
stocking. They took to 'stuffing wads
of money into their hosiery, until an
ordinary woman, on lifting her skirt
to cross a muddy street, looked like
an advertisement for some patent
medicine or victim of spinal menin-
gifts, so knotty were her ankles and
her calves.
At some of the race-tracks they
built stocking-r2om, and women
missed the best part of every
race rushing back to get out their
money to bet on the next one. 1t is
difficult to say what would have be-
come of US if some smart girl had not
gotten up early one morning not long
ago and found the solution of the
problem while she was doing up her
pompadour. This girl wore what men
call "rat" and what women call a
rolf under the fluffy halo that sur
rounded her forehead. The roll" was
bulky, so she cut it down bit. Then
she made soft little brown silk bag,
hattened out her monthly allowance
and put it in the bag and tucked the
whole thing under the rolf at such
an angle that, if it had to be pulled
out suddenly, it could be slipped deft-
ly, and without sign of missing,
right through little opening in the
pompadour. Now, if you see a wo-
man suddenly clap her hand to her
forehead, do not fancy that she has
forgotten something, or that she IS
going to faint She is only going tc
take her money out to buy a package
of pins.
But all of us. do not wear pompa-
dours. and the girl who affects smooth
locks and Madonna expression with
"a low, soft COLL a la the poets, at
the nape of the neck, has her own
way of carrying money. She, too,
makes small bag to match her hair;
yellow chamois-skin if she has yellow
locks, hame-colored silk if she is IL
tan, brown Or black if she is "brunne. "
Through the top of the bag she runs
silk drawing-string. This she ties
about the top of her coil, just as a
schoolgirl ties ribbon round her
hair. Then she so twists or plaits the
locks above the bag, that she has only
to slip her fingers between them in
order to draw out her lunch money
or the price of Florodora hat. It
is astonishing-but then Mere Man
will never get over being astonished
at what women will do. And we are
not going to give up carrying the
family income merely because our
dresses button up the back and our
stockings bulge at the ankles-certain-
ly not while we have back and front
hair.
