You can say that / like gardening

Blaney.
But alas! This was not what
wanted, and I feared that the readers
of this paper would not all be able
to achieve fame. as we'll as beauty by
such means. My mind was still full
OF the delightful play that was going
on downstairs, for Ann was prepar-
ing for the last act. After you have
listened for an hour or so to Bernard
Shaw, 1t is almost impossible to get
back to the commonplace of physical
culture, diet and the other means by
which our famous beauties enhance
their appearance and kindle the light
of envy in the breast of all the other
women.
so I asked Miss Blaney to talk
about Ann" the superwoman, she OF
the life force and the delightful cattH
ways, which Miss Blaney acts with
such charm and skill.
One of the most interesting things
about this play is the change In the
audience. When 1t was first given, peo-
pie did not know whether they ought to
laugh, and women resented the char
acter of Ann, though they all knew in
their heart Of hearts that she is the
woman who can bend even the strong
est man to her will. Now they never
miss q point.
TT does seem curious" continued
Miss Blaney, that men will be com
pletely taken lin by a character like
Ann. but when they see a sincere
frank, straightforward woman thew at
once believe that she Is a deep char
acter planning all kinds of pitfalls. In
deed, that she LIZ a woman to beware of.
MY sympathy Is, of course, with the
sincere, straightforward woman. but 1
must admit that the Ann type gets on
better, and | believe that every woman
In the audience realizes it and has a
certain sympathy with Ann, and is
glad that she always gets her way
Perhaps there Is a little of Ann in
every one of u.s." laughed Miss Blaney
THE redeeming feature about her Is
that she has sense of humor."
Miss Blaney had taken off the pretty
yellow automobile coat. the little hood
with its big crimson rose, and was

Message to Working Women

All women work; some in homes
some in church. some in the whirl Of
society, and in stores, offices and
shops; tens of thousands are on the
never ceasing treadmill, earning their
daily bread.
All women, however, are subject to
the same physical laws, and suffer
alike from the same physical disturb
ances and weaknesses, peculiar to
their sex. Every woman, no matter
what her station in life, should re-
member that Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is the great remedy
for female Ills, in which she should
place her trust.
