NOTICES FOR THE o M
Some Suitable Inscriptions Asked For
by Readers.

There is a constant demand for suit
able Inscriptions to go over mantels
and fireplaces and Madame Merri
hopes that these will meet the require
ments of department readers who are
building new homes all over the land.
The old custom of carving notices
on the wooden beams in dining-room
and hall is fast finding favor on this
side of the water. F~ireplaces upstairs
as well as down are also becoming
quite the proper thing in our modern
houses and there is nc greater luxury
than an open fire. 1t is the means or
cementing family ties and drawing
people together who might become
%estranged, for it seems to me that 1t
would be almost impossible to have
differences sitting around a CHEEKY
fire, glowing, perhaps, with drift
wood blaze and over the mantel a
sentiment such as, 20 we fire and heat,
praise ye the Lord"
Here are a few good quotations; the
first four are most appropriate for the
entrance hall:
Make yourself at home."-Schiller
EAST, west, names best."-Scotch,
"a hundred thousand Welcomes
Old Irish.
Welcome and health."-Old Irish.
For the dining-room: ACROSS the
walnuts and wine."-Tennyson.
For bedrooms: Our little life Ii
rounded by sleep."-Shakespeare.
Blessed is the man who invented
sleep."-Don QuixoR.
my nest is the bed."-From the
German.
"Sleep sweetly in this quiet room
oh thou, who'er thou art"
For a card and billiard-room:
"Set not your chance upon the haz
ard."-Shakespeare.
do what you will."-From thu
French.
Let us to billiards. "-Shakespeare
The lettering may be done in Oh
English, in block letters or script

NO VALID REASONS
PATRoNIzINe MAIL ORDER
HOUSES is WITHOUT EXCUSE.
GOODS NOT EVEN CHEAPER
With Freight Charges Added and
Quality Considered the Home
Merchant Does
Best.

Copyrighted, 1906, by Alfred c. Clark.)
The reasons why people should
trade at home are numerous, but so
far as VIC are able to learn but one
a Is advanced for purchasing
goods Of mail order houses. That one
saving Of money-is often
no reason at all, for in many instances
the express charges or freight and
carriage will bring the cost of an arti-
Gle that as quoted in the price list
seemed a wonderful bargain, almost
or quite up to the price charged by
the local dealer. But ever were one
able to save a few cents on the pur-
chase price by buying away from
home, it appears to us that the loss
is infinitely more than the gain, for
he who sends the money which he
earns in the home town out to swell
the Golfers of wealthy dealers in dis
tant cities cannot fail to forfeit in a
considerable degree the respect of
those around him, nor a he under
these conditions preserve his self
! respect intact.

houses must have a sneaking feeling

with cheese straws, a frozen dessert
or individual Charlotte russo, after din
ner coffee or serve it with the repast;
either is proper. If you like the first
course of fruit may be omitted.
1t will be perfectly correct to seat
the guests at one time and at one
table. Plate doilies and large center
piece on the bare table is quite the
thing for l%uncheons, reserving the elab-
crate tablecloth for dinners.
Seat the honored guest at your
right, designating her chair by a huge
tulle bow or one of wide white satin
ribbon and a knot of tulips.
Charming place cards are made by
using large, square cards with name,
date and a quotation with a tulip
thrust through the upper left-hand cor
| uer. These are very effective on the
table. Hand painted place cards are
always in favor, dainty heads and
Vatican figures. A first prize with a
Consolation are all that is necessary,
Madame Merri does not believe in ex
pensive prizes under any circum'
stances.

A Petticoat PARTY,

As it is quite ''commeil faut' for the
intimate girl friends of the twentieth
century bride to contribute bits of
lingerie to her ~trousseau, this unique
party was given recently for an April
bride-elect. 1t was given in place of a
shower, the girls cut, sewed and made
two fetching chambray petticoats; one
pink, one blue, trimmed with white
curtain net ruffies. 1t takes six yards
with one yard of net to make one
skirt. A deep lounce is made of the
net ornamented with three graduated
bands of the chambray and a bias
band at the top of the ruf1e. These
creations will delight the heart of any
young woman and launder beautifully.
Chocolate and waters or a chatting
dish supper is served, and at the party
| refer to the hostess had plates OF
fudge and a huge pitcher of lemonade
conveniently placed for the happy
workers.

A Novel Luncheon.

Dear Madame Merri: Is four o'clock
a proper hour for luncheon? l want
to have a little entertainment scheme
afterwards and please tell me IL l may
seat the guests at n time at one
table and if l could only use candle
light, drawing the curtains? Please
give me a menu and a suggestion for
place cards. I'd like to use flowers
somehow; l think tulips, as they are
out in April. The luncheon Is to be
given for a bride-elect. How a l de-
note her chair at table and how many
prizes should there be?
Very truly, x. Y. 2.
Four o'clock is decidedly too late
| for a luncheon. One o'clock or half
after is the accepted hour, then there
will be time for whatever is planned
for the special entertainment and per
nit the guests to get home for dinner
The shades are drawn and candles
used for all daytime functions. A cen
terpiece of tulips with candle shades
to match would be both appropriate
and seasonable. / should serve frs
a course Of fruit, whatever you car
get, then a bouillon, followed by
chicken or sweetbread patty, potato
c~roquettes or Saratoga chips, olives
nuts, bonbons, a tomato or fruit salad

the country merchant &c carry On
business.
You must remember, too, that Ther
you send your money to some big con.
Germ in a distant city, you lessen the
amount of money in circulation In
your own residence town. II you had
spent it at the home store, some OF
it at least would have been paid out
by the proprietor in the form OF
wages to his employees, they in turn
would have expended 1t for the neces'
stiles of life, and it would have passed
from one to another of the home deal
ers, proving an important factor in
the prosperity Of the community. Hav-
ing sent 1t to the mail order house
the probabilities are that it will never
again benefit anyone in your home
town.
You should trade with the home
merchant because he is the n from
whom you ask and receive favors.
Perhaps you have had a run Of i'll luck
you have lost your position, had
long-continued illness in the family, or
have experienced difficulty in collect
ing money due you. You are in
straitened circumstances. Would a
letter to the mail order house, stating
all these circumstances, secure for
you a supply of the ~necessaries OF
life on liberal credit terms? Most as
suredly not. An appeal to the propri
etors for aid in your extremity would
be barren of results. 1t is the home
merchant who stands ready to extend
the credit necessary to tide you ovel
an emergency, and for this reason, II
for no other, he should have you
loyal support in your times of pros
perity.
Perhaps you are financially indie
pendent, and have never known thu
necessity of asking for credit. Ever

PET ECONOMIES OF WOMEN.
Some Examples Of a Good Thing Car
rIed to Extremes.

You never really know a woman,
some one has said, until you discover
her pet economies.
One very wealthy woman whose hus-
band is a Judge saves her pennies by
saving bottles. Whenever there is
need to have a prescription put up she
sends an empty bottle from the house
instead of paying five to ten cents for
a new one. The woman often heads a
subscription list, with a $1,000 check,
but she won't buy bottles.
Economy in the kitchen Is frequent
" the cause Of trouble. One woman
simply can't keep a chef because she
insists that every particle OF butter
left over from the table shall be used
for cooking.
Another had no end OF trouble with
her servants because she insists upon
their using candles. Saving paper,
Irvine and wooden bundle carriers
from the shops is q common economy.
An actress who has plenty Of money
saves all her old shoes and slippers

GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago a farmer put his mi.
tials on a dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. -Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to a mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will nev build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
munity. He sent it entirely out OF
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
Patronize your local merchant who
helps you to pay your taxes, support
your schools and churches, and lends
a helping hand in times of sickness
and trouble.

A good method of seeming the hair
is to drop five or six drops OF oil OF
jessamine or ONE other perfume Of
the same kind into the palm of the
hand and rub hard over the brush,

bristles. The hair should then be
well brushed and will be found to be
quite sufficiently perfumed by this
method. This should be done after
it has been first washed. Damp hair

then you are indebted to the home
merchant for many of the advantages
you enjoy. The proprietors Of a mail
order house would laugh you to scorn
were you to ask them to subscribe to-
ward the building Of your new church,
the improvement of your school build
ing, or the expenses of maintaining
your fire department. The home mer-
chant contributes literally to the sup
port Of these institutions so essential
to the public comfort and well-being,
and you cannot afford to withhold
from him your patronage.
You know you local dealers. Per-
haps they have grown from childhood
to manhood in your home town; you
were boys together, they have watched
by you in sickness, and comforted you
in sorrow, they take a kindly interest
in your welfare. Do you not prefer
that your trade should increase their
small profits rather than add its
quota to the millions of dollars annu-
ally sent to the mail order houses? If
the home merchants prosper the town
will be a better place in which to
live. Their prosperity will be mani
tested by improvements in the appear
ance of their own property, and by
their increased liberality in contribut.
ing toward public improvements, and
by helping them by your patronage,
you will also be helping yourself and
the entire community.
By doing your share toward adver.

The notes of a popular song echoed
sentimentally through the big station
waiting room. With one accord the
respondent occupants of the benches
turned to look in the direction whence
1t came. A young man had entered at
the south door and was making MS
way across the floor. His clothes
we're those of the well-to-do mechanic;
over his shoulder was slung a canvas
bag of tools. Behind him came a col
ored porter bearing a step ladder.
The young man paused beneath the
big station clock and glanced up at
the dial. The hands pointed to nine,
in open disregard of the fact that the
afternoon sun was streaming IN
through the western windows. Darn

It still wanted three-quarters of an

Weight AND HEALTH
THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Women Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since.

How man women-and men too
are suffering from a general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to checki How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to helpl Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the tash. Of
fighting off the infection of these diseases
to which most of us are almost daily ex.
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Marley, Of
90 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is a typical one. She says:
"For six months after the birth of my
baby, ] suffered from sick, dizzy head.
aches, which seemed like a rush of
blood to my forehead, just back Of my
eyes. Some days they twitched so I
could hardly see and black spots foated
before them. The least exertion brought
on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and I was often sick to my stomach.
"If I tried to work my feet soon be-
came swollen, paining me terribly. I
had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous. I was SO thin that I weighed
only So pounds.
'iOne day when at the drug store to
get headache powders J decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. ]
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and I nov weigh over
1870 pounds. I believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder a woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and / have never
been seriously Ill SINCE"
Tho great value of DR.. Williams Pinb
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion OF the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ il
stimulated to do It's work.

are taking does not cure you, write fol

have done in similar cases.

that everybody in town knows that
he is a hindrance rather than a help
to the community. He is not wanted
in public positions, and when ques.
lions of local interest and Importance
are discussed, his opinion carries far
less weight than the man who con-
tributes his share to the prosperity OF
the community by spending his mon
ey where he earns 1t.
In addition to losing in a large de-
gree the respect of others and his
W ~self-respect, the man who e
nothing to build up the town in which
he lives fails to find the contentment
which Is necessary to happiness. Hav-
Ing done nothing to make the town
better, he is unable to see the many
advantages it possesses, and is con-
tinually talking and thinking of it's
deficiencies. He does not move out,
however, but stays on year after year,
a disconnected parasite, getting all he
can and giving as little as possible in
return. There Is an unwritten law OF
nature that makes it impossible for
one to really taken an interest in a
place until he has done something for
1t, and it is only when we have done
our share toward building up the town
In which we live that it becomes q
real home to us.
