A strange darkness was settling down
upon the earth. Both had forgotten
the storm, now grumbling back from
the south. The man stepped out in the

The man held her more tightly with

set and steady, tense in his watching,

A Lazy Liver

May be only a tired liver, or a starved
liver. 1t would be a stupid as we'll az
savage thing to beat q weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver 1t Is
q great mistake TO lash 1t with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
~intfsEsion OF an fff-nourfshed, embedded
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the Stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures OF silver
trouble ~ by its wonderful control of the
organs of digestion AND nutrition. It re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous Accommodations, and so relieves the
liver Of the burdens imposed upon 1t by
the detection OF other organs.

UNDESIRABLE YACHTING GIRLS
Sweet Young Things Who Are Not a
Blessing to Those on Board.

A man once said to me that you
found out a girls true disposition
quicker in a sailboat than anywhere
else.
You can certainly find out if she Is
selfish. l shall forget one mem
orable sailing party where a certain
belle appropriated the only cushion
and the only man and persisted in
clinging to both during the entire aft
ernoon, although the mans whole at
tention was needed to run the boat,
and two elderly members Of the party
leaned back against the hard wooden
sides and stood it the best they could
Have no patience with Fluffy Ruff
fles when she ONE aboard clad in
wholly inappropriate muslins and pink
ribbons that won't stand salt spray.
OF course on account of her costume
she has to be given the most aristo-
cratic seat in the boat, but even then
she lifts her skirts anXiously away
from contact with the boards. Having
settled herself carefully, she opens q
fluffy sunshade and makes a picture Of
herself only to be forced to shut 1t and
move a minute later on account of the
shifting of the sail. This happens all
the afternoon, and at the end of 1t
Fluffy is all rumpled and disheveled Ii
temper as well as in dress. She has
made an enemy of every n on board
and is herself worn out.
Next to her comes the tomboy girl
who goes aboard with a jump and q
hop, which causes the skipper to say
something rude under his breath. 1t Is
blowing a stiff breeze, but the tomboy
feels larky. She wants to help with
the sail to keep moving all the time.
She will stand up in the boat, and the
result Is the swiftly moving boom
catches her a good crack IN the head.
which almost knocks her overheard.
and makes her so dizzy that she is glad
to lie low and be quiet the rest of the
trip.
Last and worst of all in the gallery
Of undesirables comes the bad sailor.
The bad sailor is nearly always a good
eater. She gets aboard replete with
q heavy lunch and carries with her a
rev nDon lest Sne SIoW laLHl u!
the waveside. She doesn't grow faint.
but something a great deal worse. Her
piteous means are the signal to pro
coed to shore, where she is deposited
on the sand to recover at her leisure,
while the rest of the party proceed ON
their way an hour late.
Truly the path of the summer skip
per is not strewn with roses.

Evening of

Miss Irma Myers entertained a num-
Der Of her young lady friends at the
home of her parents on West Wild
wood avenue last Wednesday evening
in honor of Miss Helen Hoover, of
Philadelphia. The affair was given
as a ghost party, everybody being
dressed in white and the room deco
rated in a spooky fashion. Various
games were played, among them a
conundrum contest, won by Miss
Mabel Campbell after which the party
grouped around the fireplace and told
ghost stories until a late hour when
refreshments were served, consisting of
fruit sherbet, fudge, apples and nuts.
The guests then departed for their
homes, all vowing they had spent a
most pleasant evening, though it is
said they were rather tImid about GO
ing home after hearing such hair-rais-
ing stories. Those present were Misses
Florence Funck, Claire Goslin, Mabel
Campbell, Cynthia Bradley, Eleanor
and Mary Blackwell, Lena Washburn,
Irma Myers and Helen Hoover, Mrs.
w. A. Hoover, Mrs. o. L. Blackwell,
Mrs. Levanus Myers and Master Reg
elm Hoover.
