Christine hummed softly to herself
as she mixed the -four and butter to a
pie-crust thickness. The soft, sum-
mer breeze came through the win
dow. loosening the ripping locks Of
her squirrel-colored hair. Her peach
like cheeks were flushed, and her blue
eyes were dancing in the felicitation
of her meditations.
"And Rob comes home to-day!" she
unused. 81 wonder II four years have
changed him much-three years at an
eastern college and one year abroad
can do SO much for man. And what
have four years done for me except
to make me twenty instead of six
teen?"
She sighed as she thought of her
few advantages, and plunged her
hands anew into the soft, white, cling
ing dough.
"And there is such a difference in
our conditions of life and those of the
Thornleys," she continued in her rem
iniscence, picturing the big stone
house on the hill with its sweep Of
lawn, driveways, and its retinue of
servants. "Our little home will seem
so crude to him, though he used to
stay here more than he did at his
own home, but of course he was only
a boy then, and wouldn't notice things
as now after his four years in world
of fashionable folks. wonder if he'll
be blase and bored? MOI" she con-
cluded, contradicting the thought,
Rob could not change from the frank,
impetuous, boyish fellow he always
was. And I will see him tonight at
the fete at his house." and she smiled
happily, thinking of the shimmering,
white dress she was to wear
Christine ever combined comfort
with cooking. She did her baking, or
made her preparations for baking, not
in the heated kitchen, but in little
room that opened into a latticed
porch. All conveniences, materials
and utensils were in easy reach.
She transferred the dough from the
mixing bowl to the board, and had
just begun to roll it into fairness when
there was a knock at the open door
behind her. She turned and saw
good-looking, well-groomed young
man regarding her with admiring,
mischievous eyes. They continued
looking at each other in silence for
a few seconds and then he said:
Aren't you Christine Wendon?"
yes" she replied, "but l do not
recall"
What! Have you forgotten me-
your old friend Rob Thornley," he ex-
claimed reproachfully.
She smiled incredulously.
You are not Rob Thornley,, though
I admit there is strong resemblance.
You must be relative"
"You are right, Miss Wendon. am
John Stanley, Rob's cousin. We are
frequently mistaken for each other
even by the people who know us we'll.
He suggested that l come down and
see If you would be deceived"
81 am glad to meet you, Mr.. Stan
ley" she said, "and I am sorry that
cannot abandon my pie at the present
stage Of its existence. If you will
please go through the house to the
sitting-room, or around the house to
the porch, will join you as soon as
can"
but l prefer to stay here" he re-
piled, pleadingly. II rang the bell,

Some Bird Nejuhbors.

Wrens, chickadees, bluebirds, mar.

the shelves and took down a little
patty-pan.

tones, watching her prepare it, She
put it with the larger ones in the
oven and then began the making of
a salad dressing.

were as much with the handsome
cousin as with her old schoolfellow.

of the late arrivals was Christine. a

above all, a woman VINO mas nau
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases OF
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman OF such expert
ence, especially when 1t is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fidence of women, and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done so with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
''Over a year ago wrote you letter asking
advice, as I had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. l received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. am not only well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl.
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done SO
much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form OF
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such a record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinl<hams
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which a druggist may offer.
