Nature makes all things beautiful in
their time" Every one of life's seasons,
when life moves on Natures lines, has its
own charm and beauty Many women
dread that period when they must ex-
perience change of life. They fear that
face and form may suffer by the change.
and they may fail to please those whom
they love. The value of Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription in this crisis of
woman's life lies in the fact that it assists
Nature. Its use preserves the balance
and buoyancY of the mind and sustains
the physical powers. Many women have
expressed their gratitude for the help and
comfort given by ''Favorite Prescription"
in this trying period. Its benefits are not
passing but permanent and conduce to
mental happiness as well as physical
strength.

'n7lHE BREAD .AND
BUTTER PEERESS''
The Most Unique Peeress in ENGLAND Is the Daughter of
the lannon's Beauty, Lady Warwick Whose Broad
Social Vieaps Led Her to Educate Her Dangh-
ter at the Village Schools.

The s'bread and butter peeress' is
the nickname Of Marjorie, Lady Helms
ley, the beautiful young daughter of
the Earl and Countess Of Warwick,
whose recent marriage was said to be
the most interesting wedding England
has seen for many a day.
Lady Marjorie is unique among all
the peeresses of England. She would
be famous for one fact alone, and that
is for being the child Of the most cele-
brated court beauty of the time; but
she is also regarded as unique among
educated during her early, years in the
she attended with the gardener IS
daughters and the sons Of the village
cobbler.
Later, to be sure, she was sent to
Paris for the finish to her education
demanded by her position, and today
she is very accomplished and highly
educated young woman, but with demo
cratic and liberal ideas of life.
1t was not for lack of means that
the Warwicks sent their children to the
public school, for their income is $780,
900 a year, but the countess has al
ways entertained broad social views
and has entered into all manner Of
schemes for the betterment of the peo-
pie, establishing trade schools and
shops for n girls and "a. youths oa ;+h +h ,;++,
girls Of the Village, and they We're de-
Voted to her. Her title was not per-
mitted to be used during her child

Many amusing stories are told as to

Lady Marjorie was presented at court

lives in one OF the grandest castles In
all England.
She has maids and men servants at

CHOOSING A HAT

The following advice is given by a
well known fashionable milliner:
81 have one rule for most women.
I match the hist to the hair. The re-
suit is always good. OF course, if the
woman is old, with white hair, it is not
SO satisfactory. But the woman with
brown hair should wear a brown hat,
and the woman with red hair should
wear a red hat in dark red tones, and so
on. If you are going to buy a hat
match your hair.
"The second best thing is to match
the hat to the eyes. The woman with
big brown eyes should wear a big
brown hat. The girl with saucer blue
eyes can wear a blue hat, and the girl
with hazel eyes ought to cultivate hats
that are hazel and light brown and
yellow brown.
"That is splendid rule for any
woman to remember. Match the hat
to the hair OF. the eyes. It is sure to
be a success.

Il JUNE BRIDES
EADS AND EANCZES

A Minneapolis man was recently
married in Germany and his feminine
friends at home are very much inter
ested in the stories that have come
back in regard to the brides trousseau.
Half dozen girls talked of nothing
else at an informal tea this week.
"Fcrty two dozen of everything"
murmured one white-ruffed damsel.
"That means over 500 sheets, as many
pillowcases and towels, not to mention
tablecloths and napkins. How did she
ever get them together and where will
she ever find place to keep them7"
CTS the German CUSTOM explained
the girl with the lingerie blouse. "And
the bridal chest was bought when the
bride was mite Of a baby and every
year 80 many dozen Of everything were
put away 80 that when the wedding
day came she was ready without any
extra fuss"
';But forty-two dozenl It is enough
to stock u store!'
1t sounds like mine Of house and
table linen tn which she can delve all
her life without ever reaching the end, -
OBVIOUSLY whispered a woman who has
been married long enough to know what
replenishing house linen means.
One Of the June brides, we will call
her Polite because that ism It her name,
has been dreadfully worried over her
wedding presents. At last she gathered
all the courage she possessed and IN
vited her relatives to come IN on a
certain evening, "just to talk over my
welding presents.'' The relatives were
all astonisned and some of them were
| angry, but they all went to learn what
she meant. Polite began by tactfully
asking questions of the most expe-
| rienced in regard to what was most
| important in house furnishings. A
bachelor uncle grew so interested that

spending 500 for a picture, but if Pol
lie would rather put the money in kitch-
en- "tixirgs,' she was quite welcome
