 A writer in a London periodical has re- gently compiled a list of the men of nobie birth and high station who within the past century or so have ushered them selves out of the world. The list includes Prince Ludwig of Africa, who slew him self a few years ago because of love affair." and Sir Hector Macdonald, the hero of the Boer war, who killed himself in Paris rather than face disgrace, and there are many others; but the list does not include the host of Chinese officials who have committed hara-kiri in very recent times, and often under what would he considered elsewhere as very light proyocation.

sleeves which are feats of millinery:
are delightful features of this waist,
which is shown with a skirt in the
same material. The yoke is of lace
draped with fichu of India NULL and
the bodice fastens slightly at the left
front under three bows of coral pink

But the fair critic will say. "since
the subject was theater waists why in
troduce the skirts?" and madame the
modiste will tell you that it is be-
cause the high world now looks a lit
tie coldly upon the odd bodice. Ravish-
ing ones are seen and they are ex-
plotted by smart dressers. but the har-
monious ensemble of costume is
thought to supply the most satisfac-
tory get-up. Numerous splendid skirts
of velvet, silk. pOplin etc.. are accom-
panied by waists entirely of lace, but
whatever the color of the skirt the
bodice matches. II more continuity is
desired, bretelles and sashes of the
skirt material are often added. The
only exception to this. maybe, is in the
jacket of colored brocade, which may
be worn with black or white lace
skirt. Numbers of such coats are seen
brilliantly hued, and made dashing
with stiffened tails. gemmed buttons
and rich laces which form smart
cravats and sleeve trimmings Of much
beauty.

NERVOUS HEADACHE
MARRIED A YOUNG WOMAN'S HAP
PINESS FOR SEVEN YEARS.
Interfered With Her Social Duties and
Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-HOw She Was Cured.

Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures Of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion, or IT.
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole. head. Again it
is like a nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, or band tight
ening about it. At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
ut the base Of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood IS scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one of the COM
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid Of the
diseased condition Of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of a remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
uishes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years / was q
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and became SO restless that could lot
sit still any length Of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. At first
the attacks were not so severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became so acute that I was OH the point
of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which I be-
longed."
What saved you from that necessity"
IA very simple thing; the call of a
member of one of the clubs, who strongly
advised me to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
before givingup. Iacted on her sugges-
ton at once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi-
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss McKenna is secretary Of the
Associated Ladies' Guild, and resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended to drive all
poisons from the blood and to give needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.
