The Lady who Danced the MinEef.
The minuet was ever the aristocrat
of dances. Before the lady OF the
eighteenth century elected to step the
dainty measure she had many points
to master, for to dance the minuet was
to court criticism. The plunge taken,
she wore d lappet on her shoulder to
tell the company she proposed to make
or mar her ballroom reputation.
Another point of etiquette lay in the
gloves. A soiled pair was good enough
for the country dance, but an abso-
lutely new pair had to adorn the fair
hands which graced the minuet. And
so the lady of the eighteenth century
on dancing bent set out with two
pairs in her satchel.-London Chroni-
Gle.

This Fact that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are con.
6ding your private ills to a woman "a woman whose ex-
gperlence with wonens diseases covers twenty-five years.
The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughterin-law of Lydia E.
Pinkharn, was for years under her direction, and has ever
since her decease continued to advise women.
Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad
TO worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate
assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink
from exposing themselves to the questions and probable
examinations of even their family physician. Such ques-
tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost
you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual
experience is great.

stepmother Of Mint Julep.

Romance and poetry have delighted
to weave garlands with which to cele-
brate and perpetuate the glory Of the
blue grass in old Kentucky. famed for
its fine horses, beautiful women and
mint.
Kentucky has been designated as
the home of the mint julep, and Its
colonels have become famous all over
the world for the easy and graceful
way in which they drink whisky with
a little dash of sugar and sprig or
two of mint in order, chiefly to over
come the necessity for large amount
of water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned.
1t transpires, however. that the real
home of the mint and the mint julep
is right here in Missouri, whose crop
of mint last year amounted to 1858
pounds, or enough to make 1,224,320
juleps. This amount includes the mar.
keted product only, no account having
been taken of the countless thousands
of juleps which were compounded dur
ing the year with base Of the undi-
luted moonshine whisky that never
