More Convincing Proof.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

stive powers were doubted and had to
be proved. But the proof came, and
gradually the use of it spread over the
whole country. Now that hundreds of
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from its use
its value has become generally recog-

Every morning while we were taking
The Poor Little Rich Girl" over at the
Fort Lee studio. used to cross the l25th
street ferry on the quarter before nine

That meant rising at seven sharp. al
lowing three-quarters OF an hour to bathe
and dress. 80 that should be ready for
breakfast at quarter before eight. and In
my car at eight thirty. Sometimes. when
I'd curl over for another catnap and
have to rush at the last minute, It made
me think of hurrying to school just when
you hear the last bell ringing.
But dearly loved that ride over to the
, studio once We were on the ferryboat
1t was SO interesting to watch the faces
Of the people who crossed to the Jersey
side. I grew to know most of them by
sight, and watch for them. There was
one girl who wore q purple sweater and
gray cloak, with a velvet tam dropping
over one ear, student style. How I did
wish 1 could call to her to come over and
have a girl talk with me.
Then there was a wonderful old man
Greek. I am sure he must have been.
He crossed over with crates Of fruit each
morning from the market place. As he
| stood on the lower deck, his arms crossed
on the railing, his strong, fine profile
turned away from me. he might have
been one Of the galley rowers of olden
time.
There was a woman. too, whom I saw
each morning without fail She at
tracted me from her look of sheer happi-
ness. The very way she would walk
| on the boat and lift her chin to the keen
morning breeze, made you want to do
the same, no matter how cross you felt.

1 wanted TO lean right out and tell
her how mich I'd rather walk. and how
1 loved to hike. but just then she smiled
up at me IN the incest sort of way, and
1 smiled back at her. so we were always
friends after that.
It's funny. too. watching the gulls on Q
misty morning. Sunny days they sweep
and swirl around and make for the open

| winter days they seem to take their
| sport in sailing down the Hudson among
| all the drifting cakes of ice. I am sure
that some of them play they are Eliza

along down stream, and they look like

l am quite sure they understand all
about real ferryboats. and that part of
the sport is to see how far they can

lar Captain Ravenshaw OF a gull, the

portion of a wooden box. I'm sure he
would have raised a black nag n he had
had one around handy. As II was, he
stood on one foot. and eyed the ferry
rather sleeplly. as It bore right down
on him.
It was such a close call that stood
right up in the car and cried out "oh,
look at him!" so that the people turned
instead to look at me, and ! suppose they
thought IL was comical to pay attention
to just gulls. But he stood there on his
little boat until the danger was past, and
never tried to. fly away like the others
After We had passed. am sure he
chuckled over the fun Of it-this riding
the tide as It ran out, and getting right
under the noses Of the ferries. / am

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women Who
Have Shared 1t.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

February 2e-wilIiam II aud Anna
PavlOvna; August Belmont and
Eleanor Robson.
When. about one hundred years ago.
there was talk in the Netherlands that
the young Prince William, then pei
fecting his education at Oxford might
possibly marry the Princess Charlotte
OF England, the Dutch people held their
breath and hoped that the talk was not
founded on fact For the Princess
Charlotte was heir to the English thorne
and William would one day be king of
the Netherlands. The Dutch knew from
experience what 1t was to have their
small nation allied through the marriage
OF rulers, to q nation Of the first order,
like England. Just why Prince William
did not gain the hand of the Princess
Charlotte is rather vague. Some histori-
ans say that 1t was the rather fiery
temper Of the Dutch prince that was to
blame. At any rate he went back to
the Netherlands unengaged. and the
Dutch people breathed a sigh Of relief
little later his gagement was an
nounced to Anna Pavlovna, the charm
ing sister Of Emperor Alexander I, of
Russia. 1t may have given the young
Dutch prince-he was twenty-four at the
time a bit of satisfaction to know that
the Grand Duchess Anna had been vainly
wooed by the great Napoleon. For Will
lam had commanded the Dutch contin-
gent in the campaign against the French
emperor in the preceding year.
The marriage of William and Anna
occurred on February twenty-six Just ons
hundred and one years ago in Russia
When the royal couple returned to the
Netherlands the Dutch and Belgians WED
with each other to do honor to them.
Prince William succeeded his father
William I as king in 1910 and when he
died in 1S4s his thirty-two-year-old-so
born a year after the marriage Of Will
lam and Anna, mounted the throne as
William III. He was the father of the
present queen of the Netherlands, Will
helmina. So the charming archduchess.
who was wooed by an emperor as well
as by king, was the grandmother OF
the present queen of the Netherlands.
On February 26, seven wears ago, the
marriage of Eleanor Robson, famous and
popular actress and August Belmont.
banker and millionaire, occurred. Miss
Robson had not been married before.
although she had been on the stage for
some thirteen years. Mr.. Belmont's first
wife. had died twelve years before. Mrs.
Belmont retired from the stage at the
time Of her marriage and has not up to
this time returned to It, Her married
life Is very happy, and apparently to this
actress at least there are joys Of a purely
domestic sort that compensate for the
fascinations Of the footlights.

Mother HIDES in CAVE
and REFUSES To EAT
Has Youngsters. but Zoo Doesn't Know
How MANY.

Some bear cubs were born at the Zoo
several weeks ago, but the public hasn't
seen 'em yet, and won't for some time.
They are not expected TO come out of
their cave until April.
The mother is a big Russian brown
bear, who has been alternating in her
cave since November, alone and without
food. She probably will not come out
for food until late in March or April.
She sleeps most OF the time and walks
about at rare intervals, but never comes
out of the cave.
The cubs were born early in Febru-
airy. and the keepers don't know whether
there are two or three OF them. But the
cubs can be heard squealing II their
lungs are any indication, they are quite
healthy, thank you.
The cubs will have to live from their
mothers breast for two or three months
without the mother having a particle Of
food.
