director. broke forth Into freauent oho- rals.
 School dramstics are very common now. They afford . great deal Of d. version to those who form the cast. tc the rest of the class interested. and to the spectators. In our colleges an event of the year is the rendering of mer Nights Dream" or Much Ado About Nothing" The properties are | usually simple. and the stage setting Is necessarily whatever the girls can manage with screens and portieres and their own clever wits. But there Is Tar more than diversion secured in the l care and pains with which the charac- ters are selected, in the many rehears- als under the supervision of teachers. and in the fidelity with which the girls repeat the lines assigned them. Whatever part girl may take. she Is expected to prepare for 1t with dili- gence and accuracy and to regard 1t as important, whether 1t be that of a leading lady. or of a maid In waiting. On the mimic stage of the school room ttere must be respect for the work for the works sake: there must be due consideration of the honor of the school as a whole. and there must be also great patience and forbearance among the girls themselves, because when a group of people are rehearsing for a play there may be impulsive criticisms of those who blunder and little frfc- tions which, for the moment, hurt the sensitive and annoy the quick-tem- pered Girls rush to superiatives at such times. We have to put temper wholly aside whenever we are work ing towards a common end.
 One of the most important lessons in life, one that girls need to learn. Is how to work in harmony with others. In this life we are all somehow bound in one bundle, and if anybody declares that she is going to stand all alone and pleasures all alone. she Is making a great mistake. one that she will find out to her cost after awhile
 A girl who takes her little share in school dramatics will by and by be q graceful hostess in her home. and if the opportunity arises. she will be able easily to entertain her friends. and to arrange pleasant evenings for little so- ciai groups In her church. her guild, her league. her Christian Endeavor So- ciety, or her club, she will hold her own.
 It was said of Queen Victoria that she never was afraid of a vacant space in front 6f her. have seen girls who hesitated and shrunk from crossing q drawing room filled with people. The bane of any life, the thing that makes one awkward. shy and clumsy, is self consciousness. It Is at the root of the hampering difffdence which is very different affair from modesty.
 For many reasons aside from pres ent strengthening of memory and from obtaining familiarity with good litera- ture, school dramatics are an approved portion of our school system.
 I wish the girls who read this would take the trouble to write and tell me some of their experiences In this par ticuIar line.

standard of beauty in women is not only artificial also but is farther than most people imagine from that held Dy the Anglo-Saxon. His idea of beauty is one in which is intermixed the look of mind and brains, pride or gentleness, and always something of sincerity. If these be in proportion the gradual fad ing of some part of color or line 1t is not quickly taken into account.
 The American par excelience--the one who has the reputation of being the best dressed woman in the world--has won her laurels by her knack of using always more or less simple effects In the midst of her elaboration. In her hair particularly she is always natural istic, and the one who, envfroned with her, essays an artificial color scheme is at once stamped as not of her kind.
 That which if done with exceptional art may be an attraction in surround ings and background which are harmo- nious conveys repulsion when 1t gets out of its own Parisian territory.

 It is realized nowadays that the eds ucationai ideal must be twofold--pura
 culture and applied culture. scfencs and the humanitics, the training of the mind for it's own sake and the ao- auisition Of the knowledge most use- full In the different waIl<s of life The old heresy that all study was academic and that the only knowledge ngeSuI In business was that acquired empirfcnl- ly has. we hope. gone for good. A knowledge of the scientific founda- tions of any industry, of it's economfo conditions and of the methods of sini- lar industries elsewhere is generally regarded as at all events a most desIr- able enjoyment for any man of busi~ ness. The best chemical and mechani- teal talent must go into the brewerles and the engineering shops and the factories if these are to compete with foreign enterprise, and to secure this talent there must be educational in- stitutions which make it's production their special business.

 when was a schoolgirl we used to look forward with great anticipation to our annual school exhibitions. do not know why the powers that were then in authority made distinction be- tween a girls reading her own essay and a girls reciting a poem by some- body else, but this they did. Boys were required to declaim, and great stress was laid in their education on the cui. tivation of ease before an audience. But we girls. as rule. sat modestIy m tne front seats of the chapel. in our white frocks, while members of the school committee or local clergyman read our compositions for us. In the ideal or that day woman's place was in the sweet shelter and beautiful background of her home. and young girls were not encouraged to take part in public exer- cises of any kind. The exception was in favor of the smaller girls. who were dressed like fairies and came tripping out to sing a solo or recite a bit of verse, and who were taught to curtesy deeply in response to applause from the listeners.
 In my later schooldays there came a change remember very well the first time stood before what seemed to me a crowd of attentive faces and read composition of my own.s The subject was Temperance" and it was treated with great force by the 14-year-old girl who had chosen so big theme. In the middle of the reading she became frightened, lost her place and her voice, and could hardly have gone on, but for kind gentleman who came and stood by her side, saying: Never mind them. my dear. Read straight ahead. I'll stay right by you" I still remem- Der that man most gratefully.
 Still later, we had in our school what today might be called a venture in school dramatics. We of the senior class decided that we must have May Queen. with court attendants. fairies. elves, trolls, queens of flowers and Of grains, a Ceres, Flora, Persephone and d train of people representing diff ferent phases of the earth and sea. Our scheme was so ambitious that we could not find anything in print by which we could carry 1t out. and the girls with one consent turned to me saying: You must write a play for. us. or else our May Queen will be a failure" Look ing back, have always been surprised at the way the teachers acted in the matter, but our lovely principal when approached was really most gracious. why, yes" she said. Miss M---. may be excused from all her classes for the next week, while she is writing the May Queen play"
 wish I had it now. but 1t long ago was lost in the limbo of forgetful- ness. The thing can see with my eyes shut Is the beautiful pageant, with the prettiest girl in school as Queen of the May. and everyone from the oldest to the youngest taking some part in her coronation, either singing a song or making an address while the whole school, drilled by the musical

WHY DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Here Given to Explain Why Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable COm-
 pound Cures When Doctors Are POWerless

A womanis sick; some disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her sys- tenn. She goes to her family physician and tells him story, but. not the whole story.
 She holds something back, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and thus completely mystifies the doctor.
 Is it any wonder, therefore, that the doctors fail to cure the disease Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician.
 It was for this reason that years ago Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, de- termined to step in and help her sex. Having had considerable experience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she encouraged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to their complaints, and being 8 woman, it was easy for her ailing sis ters to pour into her ears every detail of their suffering.
 In this way she was able to do for them what the physicians were unable to do, simply because she had the proper information to work upon, and from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago great army of her fellow-beings are to-day constantly applying for advice and re- lief, and the fact that many thou sands of them have been cured by following the advice of Mrs. PinlEham during the last year is indicative of the grand results which are produced by her unequaled experience and training.
 No physician in the world has had such training, or has such an amount of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills, from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated womb diseases,
 This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. Pinkhem, in her laboratory at Lynn, Mass, is able to do more for the ailing women of America than the family physician. Any woman, there fore, is responsible for her own suffer ing who will not take the tro1ble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
 The testimonials which we are con stantly publishing from grateful wO- men establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to conquer female diseases
