A NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained &c Pounds and
Recovered Her Health by Taking
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

General debility is term that covers
multitude of cases where there is no
acute disease, yet the patient continues
to lose strength and the doctors medi-
cines have no apparent effect This is
the decline that leads to death if means
are not found to check it. In great
majority Of cases DR.. Williams Pink
Pills will check it and restore health and
strength because they actually make new
blood and so send renewed vitality to

periods ranging from three weeks to two
months and was under the physicians
care most of the time for three years. 1
do not know the cause Of my trouble but
was Frustrated with weakness and, al
though l took a great deal of medicine,
nothing seemed to give me strength. At
times my stomach hurt me something
fearful and my head often troubled me.
l was sleepless and what sleep did get
did not refresh me.
When began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, l weighed but 104 pounds.
[ knew l was so bad that few doses
would not cure me and 1 had patience.
Soon the pills began to give me strength,
my blood got in better condition, L could
sleepwell atnight and help some with the
homework. Now 1 weigh 1870 pounds and
think nothing of walking half mile.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have done won
ders for me and the neighbors all know

FINDS VIRTUE IN OLD CLOTHES.
Mems Garments Shaped to the Figure
by Age Catch Artists Eye.

To the eye of the artist the gar
ments of the modern man are only
tolerable when age has adapted them
somewhat to the lines of the figure !;
to the average artist a new suit of
clothes is an abomination.
1T is not only that new clothes are
more ugly than old" said knight of
the palette who discussed the ques-
ton; ito my mind no one can be prop
erly easy or graceful in them.
Il never feel that | properly know a
man until / have met him wearing an
old suit. Certainly no man can posi-
bly, be his natural self in evening
dress.
Il have noticed again and again
how different the same people are
when wearing different clothes. ]
went, for instance, to a large family
gathering some time ago, and for
some reason everybody had donned
full evening dress. What a differ
ence it made! We were all on terms
of intimate friend ship, but somehow
the clothes brought in an element of
GOODNESS and formality We all felt
it-even the women, although, of
course, the fair sex are not easily per-
suaded Of the merits of well-worn gar
ments. But no man who has discov-
cred the ease and comfort of them
will readily give them up. AS for the
artistic side of modern clothes, it only
comes when they have mellowed by

Life in Argentina.

At the National is w. S. Blackburn,
of New York, a capitalist, who re-
Gently returned from a business trip
to Argentina.
Because Argentina occupies about
the same relative position south Of
the equator that the United States
occupies north Of the equator, BuenOs
Ayres has the same climate as
Charleston, S. c., said Mr. Blackburn.
During four months out Of the year
the million inhabitants Of the city
amuse themselves at the races. They
do not have so good breed Of horses
there. but the sport is just as good
and is we'll patronized. Some of the
Spanish women l saw there were as
beautifully gowned as any women
have ever seen. The national sport
is cricket, which has been taught the
people of Argentina by the English.
They play 1t a great deal. The hours
of work are about the same as ours.
The food is very good. The meat is
the best in the world. Washington

Inc feeding of the little ones and
the cleaning of the nest necessitate
scores of visits daily on the part of the

The young of birds which build on
the ground are perhaps the ones which
are subject to the greatest number Of
dangers. Fortunate it is for them
tnat they know no evil-that their in
born fear is latent and does not de-

them to be afraid, until they are able

forthcoming to convict him of at least
occasionally eating both eggs and
nestlings. Red squirrels and chip
hunks have been caught in the act
so often that they may be regarded as
habitual criminals.
In proportion to their numbers,
however, it is doubtful if squirrels do
anywhere near the damage that is
wrought by the domestic cat. The lat
ter is larger and requires much more
| food, and it is also more apt to kill
merely for sport. The cat problem is
serious one with bird lovers, the
more so because of the strong hold
pussy has on thousands of good people.

The clubs are to Princeton what fra
ternities are to other colleges. There were
Greek letter societies at Princeton at n
time, but they were abolished by the faculty
in 1856, When a man enters Princeton he
has to sign a statement to the effect that
he belongs to no secret organization.
Within the last few years the Phi Beta
Kappa society has obtained a special dis
and has established a chapter there.
There are two other secret societies in
the university, but they'are both literary
and debating clubs, Clio and Wing halls,
which date back to Revolutionary days.
President James Madison was a member
OF one Of them.
There vas a time when every undergradu-

PRINCETON CLUB HOUSES
The New Home of the Cottage Club the Latest Addition

The academic year Just closed at Princeton
University cav tho opening OF q now Club
house for upper class men. Itisthe oosthest
and most elaborate Of the thirteen clubhouses
which Prinoeton's two upper classes sup
port now. IL 10 the property OF the Cottage
Club, one Of tbs oldest OF the organizations,
and stands on tho site on Prospect avenue
occupied formerly by tho clubs old house.
The old club house was Of the Colonial
type. The Undergraduate Of o quarter Of q
century ago would have considered 1t a
luxury, but they are doing things In under
graduate life In these days on a bigger
scale than they did then.
The man who fifteen or twenty years ago
took his morning walk across country
would, II he were in college now, probably
no spinning out over m~acadamized roads in
an automobile. Also the Princeton man
who In former days joined his cronies for
meals at q boarding house or In a modest
little club room on the second floor of q two
story house would be found now In one of
the finely furnished club houses on Prospect
venue
There are graduates who inveigh against
the club system at Princeton. who see in it a
dangerous tendency toward luxurious living,
and q menace to Old Nassau's spirit Of demo-
cracy: but these graduates aren't many,
and their fears are generally dispelled when
they drop In to attend their class reunion
and yet an insight into the new Princeton.
They find hat Che change in the standard
OF club life Ia no more extreme than the
changes in other features Of undergradu-
ate life at Princeton, than, for instance, the
change in the dormitory accommodations
provided by the university itself. They
find that the present day Princeton under
graduate, like most Of the rest Of the world,
enjoys comforts without losing anything
thereby, that he may love his club, but
that he loves his alma mater more.
Alltold there is several hundred thousand
dollars invested in the club houses on Pros
poet avenue The new Cottage Club alone
cost considerably more than 100000.
The plans we're drawn by MoKim, Mead d
White Of this city. The house Ia Of Colonial
style and built OF Holland brick with white
marble trimmings.
The two wings extend back far enough
70 permit the construction Of q brick paved
terrace, the general shape Of the building
from the rear being that OF a hollow E. In
the centre Of the terrace or court ID a white
marble fountain. A stone balustrade con-
meets the two wings In the rear.
Instead Of the ordinary hallway the front
entrance leads into a gallery finished in
panels Of English and Austrian oak. The
floor Of this gallery is paved with Yorkshire
sandstone.
The gallery looks out on the court in the
rear and at each end Of it ia an oak staircase
loadiro IN the aocopd Aoor From the rear
the building has an Italian villa effect.
Inside the club house is finished largely in
foreign woods Of different colors, the fur
niture being Of dark oak and leather and
conforming In general to the color design.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-07-08

The ground floor Is taken up largely with
the billiard. smoking Inc dining rooms.
Each Of these rooms Is deliberately fur
nished.
The library is on the second floor In the
central part of the building. 1t is done
in old English style, and is panelled with
foreign oak. The dining room Is con-
structed in such a way that it can readily
be converted into a ballroom.
The Cottage Club, like all the other
upper class clubs at Princeton, started
through ten or twelve ~oongenial spirits
getting together for their meals. They
had quarters at first In the old University
Cottage on the campus.
That was back in 1885. The organizers,
before they finished their courses, selected
upper class men to succeed them. In
three years the olub was sufficiently strong
to warrant its being Incorporated.
1t continued in the University Cottage,
from which 1t takes its name, until 1892.
when 1t moved into a new house on Pros
taken by the Tower Club, one Of the strong
est Of the more recently organized clubs,
and has been moved further down Pros
pect avenue. The accompanying pict-
ures Of the Cottage Club houses, old and
new, tell the story Of the evolution Of the
Princeton upper class clubs more plainly
than words.

however, pretended to take no notice, and

he had, and 1t was a neat little sum- to the
Ivy Club.
The Ivy is the oldest Of the upper class
organizations. 1t was started in 1870 n
incorporated four years later. For many
years it occupied the club house which the
Colonial Club has now
Almost directly across the avenue from
the Ivy Club is Tiger Inn, third in order
Of age. 1t started life in 1890.
Tiger Inn is Of the English, half timbered
style OF the Elizabethan period. On the
inside 1t is probably the most interesting
club house on the avenue, for its furniture
consists largely OF massive hand carved
pieces brought to this country from a
monastery in England.
Some OF the chairs in the hallway are
almost five feet high, with hand carved
representations Of historical scenes and
inscriptions. This furniture was presented
to the club by Mrs. Robert Garrett Of Balti-
more, whose son Robert was I'M OF the
organizers.
In addition to the Cottage Club, the Ivy
Club and Tiger Inn, these clubs are now
maintaining houses on Prospect avenue:
Cap and Gown, Colonial, Cannon, Elm,
Campus, Quadrangle, Tower, Charter,
Terrace and Key and Seal.
The Colonial Club expects to build a fine
new club house this summer, and the Cap

Since she inherited the fortune of
her Minneapolis uncle, the bride had

operate her public stenographic and
typewriting office after she came into
her fortune, and took her sudden acqui-
sition of@wealth in SO matter-of-fact a
way that nobody suspected romance
in her life.
Mr.. Kruse is a member Of the law
firm of Kruse & Peden, and resides at
