A Fair Offer Made by Clarke &

Clarke & Co. are selling Hyomei on a
plan that has caused considerable talk
amongst their customers.
The plan is different from that follow

itself is different also. This treatment

Clarke & Co. offer to refund the money
if it does not give the desired benefit.
This is certainly one of the fairest offers

it is doing himself of herself AN inius-

Do not suffer any longer with tickling,

mentary things about each other through
the editorial columns of their respective
papers We recall that Judge Stitt,
while editing the Paris Gazette, very fire.

novelty in both politics and newspaper
dom, but it seems that Judge McNew has
been glowing success in politics, as well
as he has been in printing a frst-class

editors that they turn their editorial guns
on the enemy, and cease to exploit and
explain their personal commeserations.

Best Paid Companion in the World

sister. Amy Bend, now Mrs Cortland
Field Bishop who lives in Paris was one
of the great beauties of a decade ago. .
Miss Bend is nowhere as pretty as her
sister, but IS still remarkably attractive.
She is finely formed and a charming con-
versatlOnaliSt At the opera this winter
persons who take notice of the brilliant
display of fashionable women in the box
tier horseshoe have often seen her. She
Is OF medium size, has fine arms and
shoulders and a head of rich brown hair.
Another thing that made her more or less
conspicuous to many at the opera was the
fact that she listened TO the music instead
of joining the chatter of the moment, al
most regardless of what was going on
behind the fOOtlights. Sometimes she was
in the Whitney box, sometimes in one of
the Vanderbilt boxes and occasionally in
the box of friends of the Whitney family.
There scarcely could be a greater con-
trast between two children of the same
parents than between Amy and Beatrice
Bend. Not only in personal appearance
but in habits and disposition. Beatrice
Bend is the antithesis of her sister She
does not care much for the eXacting Obli-
cations of high society any more than
does Mrs Harry Payne Whitney or Mrs
Payne Whitney. Miss Beatrice is the
friend of both, taking keen interest in
the art ambitions of the one and the lit
erary instincts of the other. Miss Bend
could have the best society in New York
if she cared to seek it. Her father, George
III. Bend, was the WorthingtOn White
house OF his day in New York s upper set.
With Johnny" HechSher and Jimmie"
Otis he led all the cotillons and was con-
Sidered an almost indispensable adjunct
of every fashionable function. In this way
he met the second Mrs. Whitney who was
introduced 10 Miss Beatrice when she was
a mere child. George III. Bend. married
Miss Lizzie Townsend, daughter of Isaac
Townsend. Her aunts are Miss Amy Town
send after whom Amy Bend was named;
Mrs. Buchanan Winthrop and Mrs. Charles
Sackett.

But for all your past or present doubts
and disbeliefs for all the bleak skies and

They know il over on the children's play
ground in Military Park They knew 1t
way back in Easter week. They are wise
over on the childrens playground, and
they know that Easter does not come TIL

must be here o the bleak days which nave
thus far been far more frequent than the
fair ones. Noses may get first red then
blue with cold; eyes may get watery and
legs shivery small hands may get stiff
and numb; but what of that? They play
valiantly on the chldrens playground, and
reck not of cold or damp, for spring has
come and spring is the time to play on
the children's playground. So if you doubt,
even with summertide almost upon you,
whether spring has really come. take your
doubts and your raincoat and go over 70
Military Park and have glimpse Oh the
children's playground
1t is worth while, even If you haven't
doubts. to go and look at the merry troop
that makes the playground lively every
afternoon after school hours and all day
Saturday. The playground is the result OF
the generous thought of man who loves
children so we'll that he is willing TO do
something TO make them happy, and 1t
doesn't take more than a half-minute' S
visit to convince anyone that he succeeded
in his object.
The whole park is indeed something Of a
sub-heaven to the small boys and girls in
the vicinity and in many cases to those who
live far away from its borders. No keep
off the grass signs in this park to make
the smooth stretches of green tantalus
torment to the small habitues of the square,

to play. and they are his so long as he be-

she scooted around and sauirmed her small
body in somewhere near the 'front.' or the
line to get another. II all went Tor awhile;
If Anna, in her impotence 10 slide. landed
in a heap with the small boy who preceded
her by couple of inches, II was all rgnt
with Anna. for she is coquettish. and col
lisions with small boys are not without
their mitigatons: but at last the expected
happened. One of the small boys who was
more impatient than fiirtatious became dis
gusted with Annals usurpation OF other
peoples rights and he expressed his opin-
ion in kick which reduced Anna 10 tears;
and the sliding board knew neither the
small BOY nor the abused little girl any
more that day.
SWINGS ALWAYS FULL
The big swings are always filed TO over
flowing and the parties OF children who sit
and swing sing their school songs or call
merrily across the playground to the other
mites No color line is drawn; the little
colored children are as welcome TO the
playground as their brothers and sisters
of the whittier skins and little black Sambo
is given a rope on the Maypole or a place
in the swing along with group OF little
white fellows. The merry-go-p ound which
is perhaps the piece de resistance OF the
playground, has been out OF commission
most of the spring because the muddy con-
ditiOn of the ground makes its running a
difficult feat; but when the ground Is thor
oughly dry the little folks find II one of
the chief delights of the park. Think of a
merry-go-round on which one may take
limitless rides with never a fare TO pay,
TO be sure there is no music and no lions
or tigers to ride on, but merry-go-round
is a merry-go-round in spite of all.
The sand pile west of the playground is
never without some small laborer who is
building either a short route to Nowhere
or a stately statehouse; and the porch Of
the picturesque little log cabin close by
with its medley of big. little and medium
sized rockers is nice place TO cuddle down
when the play has been too hard. Also the
room within is a nice place to have the
dirt or the tears washed off when the fin
gers have looked too long on the mud when
it is black or when the fortunes Of the
playground have resulted in disaster for
somebody.
Just now, in school time the visitors who
frequent the park up to late afternoon are
The little tots under school age, and the
bigger boys and girls do not make their ap-
pearance until school is out for the day.
But Saturdays and in vacation time big
ones little ones and in-between sizes mingle
on the playground and under the trees.
Perambulators and go-carts are never miss
ing from the playground for the big sisters
who act the part of little mothers after
school time haul their charges TO the park
and leave the babies sitting contentedly In
their carts while they themselves yield to
