Hawthorne Book Club,

One of the most elegant of recent affairs was the luncheon given We'd nesday afternoon to the Hawthorne Book club, by Mrs. Richard Clough \ Thompson at beautiful Nelson Hurst. , e3ne home of the Thompsons on West Barraque street Save the dining room, no attempt at elaborate decora- tions spoiled the stateliness of the colonial home. That indefinable air of elegance that has it's own charm pervaded the rooms, where hospitality and good cheer reigned supreme.
 It was an Afternoon in Holland and the program, as followed in the year book, was devoted to Dutch art ists.
 Upon the arrival of the guests a steaming Dutch punch' was served, while in cheerful, genuine optimistic words, the old Dutch "New Years

 The luncheon which followed was most unique and delightful. The en- tire menu and decorations were sym bolical, representing famous persons and places in the history of Holland. The snowily draped table had for cen ter miniature Dutch windmill, sur rounded by lake and canal, with dykes of sand. The clear, crystal stream was outlined with a hedge of greeneries, representing The Hague, the capital city of the quaint Dutch country. The windmill was lighted by electricity and by a novel electrical device the wheel was kept turning The wealth of Holland was represent ed by cattle and fowls, in miniature design. Floral adornment was given by the use of the first tulips of the season, in which the Spanish colors, red and yellow prevailed.
 The luncheon menu was carried out Ill the Dutcn ldea ana Span1Sn cOlOrS, not one idea being omitted to make the luncheon ideally perfect.

OLD FOLKS TESTIFY
The Aged and All Sons and D,u,b. trrs of Aged People in Pine Bluff Should Be Interested.

For some time our local drug slst, \. c. Bedell, has been recom- mendlng to all aged people of Pine Bluff his cod liver preparation, Vlnol, to be the best strength crea- tor in the world for old people. To all such the following will he of interest:
 Mr. A. J. Barker, of Evansville, Ind, writes: There is no other medicine in the world equal to Ninol for elderly people. l would not take a thousand dollars for the good it has done me-"
 Mrs. Sarah J. Windrom, of Chi caSo, H.. writes: "Vinol is God send to old people, l am 76 years old but l feel active and well to- day, thanks to the vitalizins effects of Ninol.'
 MT. Joseph Banks, Decatur, H., writes: II am in my 76th year, and owing to the cod liver oil prepara- tion, Ninol, feel better and stronger than l have for years''
 Vinol is not patent medicine. but is a real cod liver preparation from which the useless, indigestible oil has been eliminated and tonic iron, needful constituent for tAF blood, added.
 Vinol tones up the digZfve or sans, makes rich, red bl2M, healthy body material, and mnd, steady vor" tissues. cnssne natural de- cline of the aged. builds up the run down, tired and debilitated, and never fails to replace weak ness with strength.
 If it fails we return to the pur- chaser every dollar paid for it, A. G. Bedell, Druggist.
 Note-While we are sole agents for Vinol in Pine Bluff, it is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly every town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in your town.
