Pe-ru-na is better remedy for some
conditions than Ka-tar-no. They are
both intended as catarrh remedies.
They have both done a great work in
relieving catarrh, chronic and acute.
Many hundreds of cases of chronic
catarrh have recovered while taking
Ka-tar-no and the same is true of the
revised Pe-ru-na during the last six
years since its revision.
There is difference, however, in
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
Is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In.
deed, this is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed, where the
bowels are regular or inclined to be
loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar-

TRY THE EASEMENT SCHEME
One Of the Most Effective and Eco
nomIcal Window Dressings That
Has Been Devised.

One of the neatest and prettiest
ways Of dressing the window Of a
room in which 1t is not desirable to
have flowing draperies is TO use the
easement scheme of decorations. For
this purpose there comes a specially
sheer and fine cotton material called
easement cloth, through which the
light shines although the interior of
the room is shielded from outside
eyes, but a similar charming effect
may be produced by cotton wolfe, by
Chinese or wash silk, none Of which
materials are costly. The arrange
ments of the drapery are simple. 1t is
shirred scantly at both its ends upon
fine sliding rods of brass which fit
into grooves at top and bottom of the
easement, if 1t be full length French
window and against the sliding case
ments, If the window is of the Ameri-
can type Another advantage of this
scheme of window dressing is the ease
with which the draperies may be laun-
dered, for, being straight, guiltless of
ruffies and always unstarched, the
merest tyro may wash, iron and read
just them.

"Play Day" of the D, A. R.

Monday afternoon the chapter room of the Elizabeth Porter Putnam chap ter, D. A. R., was thronged with the daughters and their guests. The room was elaborately decorated with the na- tional colors and emblems.
 The January meeting has become the social event of the year. It is the "play day" of the chapter. Madam
 Regenty Daniels presided. After the singing of America, prayer was offered by sthe chaplain, Mrs. Stuobert. A very short business session was follow ed by song by the Chapter Glee club. Mad am Regent Daniels then pre- sented Mrs. Anna Bolster of Worces- ter, who delivered an address on the "American Short Story" Mrs. Bol- ster had much charm of manner, and held the close attention of her audi ence. Beginning with Irving, Haw- thorne, and Poe, whom she named as the fathers of theAmerican short story, she traced it's growth and develop ment to the present day.
 AS most of the nations of the world are represented in our country, it fur nishes an inexhaustible fund and in- finite variety of incident forithe story teller. The list of short story writers is so long Mrs. Bolster could dwell on- ly briefly on each, but she emphasized the names of those who have revealed special phases of American, life. Bret Harte gave the first insight into the life in the mining camps. Harris DOT trayed the Negro life of the South, Free man New England types, Martin the peculiarities of the Pennsylvania Dutch, Lane and Fox Kentucky life, Duncan the bravery of the Gloucester fisherman, Hale, Deland, and a host of others. We may well be filled with pride by ithe long list of authors and the high literary standard they have given to our American short story. Two solos were charmingly sung by Miss Elizabeth Vaughan. Led by the Glee club all joined in singing" Daugh- ters of Patriots,n the words of which were written by Mrs. Morgan D. Lew is of Washington, D. C..
 The hostesses for the day were Mrs. Warner T, Mrs. Backus, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Sargent, Miss Whipple, Mrs.
 Wright, Mrs. Kelley, Mrs. Mansfield, Mrs. Case, Mrs. Perry, Miss Mary T. Wheelock, Mrs. Gilpatric.
 The hospitality so heartily extended and so cordially accepted :made the so- cial hour one of exceptional pleasure which will long finger in the memory.
