One OF the Few Women Who Dare Use
Heavy Peacock Tails.
Only woman blessed with a clear
olive complexion, superimposed on a
rich red, and dark, lustrous eye, like
Mrs. Phil Lydig, would dare to pre-
sent the bold contrast she docs in
carrying a peacock feather fan. A
woman of fair complexion would look
positively pallid il she dared bring the
airidescent colors in contrast with her
face, but the former Mrs. Stokes can
do Ii safely and to advantage. Her
collection Of fans, by the way, is one
OF the most varied and costly in New
York, and they are Of historic as well
as of intrinsic value. Indeed, she has
two curio cabinets set aside for them
alone. There she exhibits tiny be-
spangled affairs Of the Empire period,
so small that they are called fans only
by courtesy: others of ostrich plumes,
with jewel-laden sticks: Spanish fans,
painted with scenes from the arena, or
hadecked with darkeyed senoritas
who smile from latticed windows on
the minstrels who are caroling their
lays. This collection as IT stands
would take hours to look through. and
no wshat Mrs. Lydig's friends have
learned of her weakness in this direc-
ton thsy ara sending her 50 many
new treasures that it is likely a third
cabinet will be called into requisition.

While no woman is entirely free fr~n
periodical suffering, it does not seem TO
be the plan of nature that women

something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to serious de.

Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed. g

a
When Doctors Failed.
Six physicians, all of them good, one Of
them a specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at. different times during
three years.. aud still he suffered fear
fully from the fortunes of rheumatism.
The Rheumatism that had been DOR
mafit in his system was suddenly
brought TO an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice in February,
1891. From that time on for a period
Of more than three years he was a con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds Of
treatment. but the rhenmatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
.a1d one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: IT should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: g My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it APP
peared in every muscle Of my body. I
lost the use Of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use Of my
right one. Ny feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms Of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves.
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that cure might
yet be found was a friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DR.. Will
lians' Pink Pills, and acting OH her
advice he bought a box Of them in Sep
tember, 1904 The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
. When / was on the third box, y says
Mr.. Jones, / could realize change for
the better. / felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
