Chickasha is taking hold of the
Canadian Valley & Western rail-
road proposition with enthusiasm.
The commercial club rooms were
filled with representative citizens
this morning to discuss the bonus
proposition. 1t had been expected
that Mr.. Carter and Mr.. Sharp,
who are among the leading promo
ters of the proposition would be
present. but owing to misunder-
standing they failed to appear.
Alger Melton was elected chair
man Of the meeting and G. H.
Evans, secretary. D. D. Sayer
was called upon to state the object
of the meeting. He stated that
the work before the meeting was
to take steps to perform our obiga-
tion to the Canadian Valley &
Western. We had agreed to give
a bonus of $4,000 and Of this
amount $1,000 had already been
raised and turned over to the COM

cepted. Last year the most common
shirt-waist suit seemed the one of silk;
this season, while silk will be much
worn, there will be more OF variety,
lightweight woods looming up strong.
Whilst many of these ankle-length
frocks will be built on severe lines,
there will be considerable latitude as
to elaboration.
To turn to afternoon dress, apart
from the popular shirt-waist suit, we
should like to speak of gray broad
cloth of very latest mode; it was made
with skirt full about the hips, the
fullness turned into deep puff by
cording lower down. Cording and puffs
will be popular.
Elbow sleeves are to be worn more
than ever, and dressy coats have
sleeves of this length finished with
deep lace frills. Gowns for both after
noon and evening show elaborate ell
bow sleeves as the most fashionable.
The real leg pf-mutton is equally pop
ular for sim, e coats and waists: and,
q point worth noticing, one can easily
increase the shoulder puffiness of a
-of-mutton by gathering piece of
muslin, doubled into an inch or so
band and sewing this bit of stiffening
into the sleeves just in front of the
shoulder. Another point worth notice
is that with full skirt blouse waist
is not effective; a tight bodice for a
full skirt.
We must mention charming linen

After Twenty
Years
By AGNES LOUISE PROVOST

TROM the old Daubier house, which
Victor CheVreau had rented for the
summer. the gray towers of Chateau
D'Arblay rose like a dim etching be-
yond the massed shadows of the woods
Victor Chevreau spent much time look
ing over at the gray towers.
His neighbors. as neighbors will. had
exercised themselves TO a considerable
extent to determine who and what ne
was. but the result was not satisfying.
He and his son had taken the rambling
old stone house for rest and quiet after
years of constant travel, but the coun-
try houses around them had small use
for such modest retirement. Two men,
living alone with no women folk but
few servants, and with seemingly suf-
ticiency of worldly store. are sure to be
objects of inquiring interest, and al

He was young and good looking, with
no notion of being a recluSe, and was
soon a familiar figure in the society Of
the locality. The years of travel had

women and good franllnesS

An eminent physician says that
women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualifed; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with I'M
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

That was bad enough, Theon, that
was hard. but they sentenced me to 20
years of exile, away from France or
any French possession. They gave me
no chance to start again, to prove the
lie to them! And your mother-you
have her eyes, Theon-she broke under
the horror of it all, and died.
You never tortured me with cruel
