Women who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how: great change u
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from q
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, q faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form Of Its
fairness.

amendments.

over the amendment extending the ocean
mail subsidy. Senator Clay, of Georgia,
a Democratic member of the committee

raised, referring it 10 the Senate. which
overruled the point of order by a vote

That was voted down. and then Mr..
Gore got earnest He explained that
there had been cases where the govern
ment had paid for the annual cost OF a
mail car three times as much as the car
had cost Then he moved to limit the
pay hereafter in every case 10 a sum
not exceeding the cost Of the car in which
the mail was transported A few Demo-
cratic Senators Joined Mr. Gore in voting
for that amendment. but il was lost
