Mrs. Blanks Club PAPER.

Ever since young Mrs. Blank joined
the Mutual Culture club the prospect
OF some day having to read a paper
there has hung like a pail over her.
When, after evading her duty as long
as possible, she found herself set
down for a thesis on Neo-Platonism or
Babism, or something equally beyond
her ability, she nearly resigned from
the club.
There are ways, however, of manag
ing these things, and Mrs. Blank
found n of them through the kind
ness of Miss links. a fellow member
who writes for her living. Mrs. Blank
arrived at the club on the appointed
day in a new gown. She had, indeed,
spent the time that ought to have
served to make her more familiar with
her paper in having that gown fitted.
The paper, however, was neatly
typed, and Mrs. Blank read it most
impressively till she came to the bot
tom Of the first page. There a word
seemed to be lacking. Mrs. Blank hes.
itated. re-real the line, and hesitated
again.
Miss Jinks popped up eagerly.
The word is 'syllogism,'" she said.

MRS. PHIL LYDiG's MANY FANS.
One of the Few Women Who Dare Use
Heavy Peacock Tails.


Heavy Peacock Tails.
Only a woman blessed with a clean
olive complexion, superimposed on a
rich red, and a dark, lustrous eye, like
Mrs. Phil Lydig. would dare to pre-
sent the bold contrast she does in
carrying a peacock feather fan. A
woman of fair complexion would look
positively pallid if she dared bring the
i%ridescent colors in contrast with her
face. but the former Mrs. Stokes can
do it 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
bedecked with dark-eyed senoritas
who smile from latticed windows on
the MINISTRIES who are caroling their
LAYS. This collection as it stands
would take hours to look through, and
no what Mrs. Lydig's friends have
learned of her weakness in this direc-
ton they are sending her so many
new treasures that it is likely a third
cabinet will be called into requisition.

A Wonderful, Discovery.

Broadland, S. Oak, April 17.-Quite
a sensation has been created here by
the publication of the story Of G. w.
Gray. who after a special treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given up to die with
Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from thestory told by Mr..
Gray. there is a remedy which will
cure it ever in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
81 was helpless as a little babe. Ny
wife and I searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's Disease, hoping that I would
be able to find remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that I should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1 praise God
for the day when I decided to dolso,
for this remedy met every phase of
my case and in a short time I was
able to get out of bed and after a few
weeks treatment l was a strong, we'll
man. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my
life"
A remedy that will cure Bright'a
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are GER
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
given to the world.

- SSSANS
Dear Billie:-Your letter of June
26th reached me ages ago at st.
Petersburg, but l have been SO very
busy that l have had no time for re.
ply.
1t is very good of you, I am sure,
to think of me.
So you are settled in your quiet,
married life. Requiescat in pace.
What a l nave become! Now
here, now there. The Wandering Jew
is a veritable stay-at-home in COMPARE
son with my peregrinations, and |
marvel nov how ! was ever content
in the monotonous rut in which l
lived when loved you. That was be-
fore l knew anything of life or of men,
and when you vowed you loved me
and would love me always, and
l believed you, how my very ~credulity
must have bored you. Gullibility is
SO very unattractive-so very gauche.
You were indeed self-sacrifcing to
give me so much Of your time and so
many of your kisses. The contact of
your lips, the warmth of your caresses
and the electric bond that united us
constituted my heaven and could
not tell you how deeply l loved you.
nor could l make sacrifices enough
for you. How very bourgeois. You
were very patient to tolerate me 20
long as you did. But then. first love
is always foolishly sincere, and IT'S
very honesty and depth bring their
own Reconsideration.
l see myself as l was then-half-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. And how lone.
some l used to be. What fool things
| did and said and believed. And
when you left me without one mo.
ment's warning, l wanted to throw,
away this life-to speed it to unknown
worlds. How cruel. I know now that
life is full Of interest. ever changing,
ever new enc I have run the
Samut OF all known emotions, and out
Of the conflict has come power.

what a trinity of power. How SPLEEN

to chose where one was Cnce a suppli-
cant. This freedom, it's glorious,
What power has a woman DER the
whole world after she has awakened.
| thank you. dear Billie, for hayine
awakened me.
Truly, it is the unexpected that han.
pens and you wish to become a part
of my life again. My chez ami, You
are 100 late. Much too late. l have
something more interesting to do lust
now, besides the husband of another
woman can never attract me.
IT'S strange how many things come
to a nan after he is married. You
have gained your ambition-you have
married wealth and position and yet
you say your heart aches, you sigh
for love and that memories of happier
days haunt you will turn counsel
lor-marvelous the change in me, is
it not?
Hearts are but encumbrances to be
cast aside when ambition beckons. Do
not allow your heart any hearing.
AS for love. What is love? Near
