Would Cheer Lonely Hours

T should like the address of Mrs l.. b. B., whose touching letter I read in the Corner. Although there is not much I am able to do these days for anyone in need, perhaps I may be able to cheer a few of her lonely hours. Fancy work I am in- terested in, and save all embroidery pat terms in the paper. I will stamp seme- thing dainty for this lonely shut-in. always do my own stamping and 1 like to pass such work 4long to those who also enjoy it. I am a busy woman and no longer young, still l would try to find time to brighten this lonely life if as you suggest, she would enjoy an occasional letter Through your dear Corner I have won several fine friends, and the little that l could do has been, I trust, mu- tual benefit To be allowed to assist in the good work of the Corner even a wee bit will make me proud and happy
 "E. N. M."
 Figure to yourself then how proud and happy your letter makes the Corner. You have received the addresses for which you asked long ago. They went to you promptly by mail. With this acknowledg- ment goes the grateful affection of the Corner and the manager thereof.

"MY HEALTH
 IS PERFECT'
So Says a North Carolina Lady In Telling What She Owes to Cardui, the Wom-
 ans Tonic

Mt. Airy, N. C-Mrs. Ada Hull of this place, says About six years ago l got in very bad health. suffered terrible pains in my abdomen and back. dreaded to see the sun rise and dread- ed to see it set, for I suffered such agony. No one except myself will ever know how badly I suffered The doctor said I was suffering as a result of the menopause.
 As nothing gave me any relief, asked the doctor if I hadn't better try Cardui. He said, fIt might help you,' and told my husband to get me bottle. At this time l was so weak l could not lift my head, and my voice was so veal k, people had to lean towards the bed to hear what I said. I looked so bad and had such dark color that looked like | dead woman, and my relatives thought l would never get up again.
 took one bottle of Cardui and it re- lieved the pain and suffering so much that my husband got another bottle, and that improved me still more. I began to strengthen and gradually got well. have now had better health for six years than I ever had in all my life. have taken no medicine since, and my health is perfect.
 Cardui is the finest medicine wom- an could use"

Yesterday was indeed quiet in social realms; in fact, the day was without a single entertainment except the regular weekly meetings of the various literary and card clubs. The present season has been a remarkable one. It has surely been a season of small entertainments and in formal gatherings, and yet the war and hard times have really brought out the best in society. The fashionable women have worked for charity at home Tag day and flag day have been the order of things, and many philanthropic institu- tions. including the Boys club, the free clinic, the tuberculosis camp and the Neighborhood house and day nursery, have been benefited. Not only have the social leaders worked for unfortunates at home, but they have stretched a help ing hand across the sea to help the war stricken Beisians However the Lenten gloom which has overspread society will soon pass away, and the social wheels will begin to levove anew. There are always number of engagements announced in the spring, and with weddings come after noon teas, showers of all kinds, receptions and many other delightful entertain Inents for the happy brides-elect

said, you must know that the part of the butler-T. Boggs Johns-that I play in "A Pair of Sizes"
 Docs he part his name in the middle?' asked. I'm prejudiced to begin with, if he does"
 Exactly" said he, 'and he shouldn't Nobody should. I remember MT. Frank HoplSinson Smith before he became the renowned F. HoplSinson Smith, gave some good advice on that subject. He said that his school teacher once told him: Never part your name in the middle un- less it happens to be E Pluribus Unum.' Well, as l was about to say, when I first started to 'buttling'-I mean by that play ing T. Boggs Johns-the butler, you know l couldn't see for the life of me what I was going to make out of the part. Tall, dignified, stiff, English butler effects came to my vision and I said to myself: I can never do that. I can't bring in tray of glasses and say, Milford. the whisky and soda await you" But listen: nobody ever knows what's going to hap npe when a play is produced Even the cleverest producer himself has no idea, it matters not how many thousands of dol lars he expends upon production, whether it is going to take or not. Why, The Merry Widow was staged at an ex- pense of $75.000, and it was all a chance. It succeeded, of course. It is the same way about part in a play~ You never know which character is going to make the hit. The butler in "A Pair of Sizes is, of course, not a conventional butler at all; he's very disgusted butler: but he's got to serve out his time, because "A Pair of Sizes sealed his fate. The situations are amusing. and the butler makes a big impression on the audience"
 Being always musical comedy star do you not miss singing?" I asked. "Warbling a little tune to your delighted auditors?"

Feeling that way about it, just one more question, please,' l begged. "Do you regret the past? Do you wish that the future was it's duplicate?''
 He had arisen and stood holding his hat in his slender hands.
 He looked at me long while and then shook his head.
 ''No; l do not regret the past, nor do I desire the future to be as it was. Of course, we all like the things in which we occupy the center of the stage. The ups and downs will come, you know. But fortunately I've seen more of the ups than I have of the downs. I've been rather lucky"
 I was holding out a cordial hand to say 'Good-by,' when suddenly MT. Figman said very graciously:
 If anything ever staggers you, come to me-
 It was beautiful farewell full of Ma poleon and mustard, and I gently re- piled:
 You've staggered me enough already, believe me-
 Whereupon I turned to go, taking with me, however the fond and very agreeable remembrance of the very pleasant and very unusual gentleman whom I had met ever so casually-the kind of person whose sloping back and ridiculous smile and at tractive personality spell Comedy with a capital e." and which at first per- formance'' of even a dull play, not to speak of such a clever one as "A Pair of Sxes'' could put the "gin" in ginger and make friends with everybody in the audience, not the least of which Is Yours truly, Mrs. Dolly.' nt
