pound a trial and it will do as much for
them. Mrs. MARIE BOYD, 1421 9th
ST., N. E., Canton, Ohio.
Sometimes there are serious condi-
tons where hospital operation is the
only alternative, but on the other hand
so many women have been cured by this
famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after
doctors have said that an operation was
necessary = every woman who wants
to avoid an operation should give it a
fair trial before submitting to such q
trying ordeal.
If complications exist, write to Lydia
=. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass,
for advice. The result of many years
experience is at your service.

CHAPTER VIII.

A few days after Georges return
to the university 1t became evident
that not quite everybody had gazed
with complete benevOlence upon the
various young colleglans at their
holiday sports. The Sunday edition
IF the principal morning paper even
expressed some bitterness under the
heading, "Gilded Youths Of the Fin
de-Siecle"-this was considered the
knowing phrase ~ tlie time. espe-

Fanny Minafer was one Of the people
who drew this conclusion, for she cut
the article out and inclosed it in a
letter to her nephew, having written

George read part of It:
We debate sometimes what is to be the
future of this nation when we think that
in few years public affairs may be in
the hands of the fin-de-secle gilded
youths we see about us during the Christ
mas holidays. Such foppery, such luxury,
such insolence was surely never prac-

But George walked out in the very
course of his vehement protest, and
1t was necessarily left unfinished.
Mr.. Kinney remained only a few
moments after Georges departure !;
and as the door closed upon him the
distressed Lucy turned to her father.
She was plaintively surprised to find
him in a condition of immoderate
laughter
1T brings things back sol" he
managed to explain. "This very Fred
Kinney's father and young Georges
father, Wilbur Minafer, used to do
just such things when they were at
that age-and, for that matter, so did
George Anderson and l, and all the
rest of as" And in spite of his ex-
haustion, he began to initiate: "'Don't

teous sort of people" He was I'M
able to go on.

was beginning to look indignant. 81

anything he likes to, without any re-
gard for what people think. Then
why should he mind so flriously when
the least little thing reflects upon
him, or on anything or anybody con-
nected with him?"
Eugene patted her hand. "That's
one of the greatest puzzles of human
vanity, dear; and 1 don't pretend to
know the answer. In all my life the
most arrogant people that I've known
have been the most sensitive. The
people who have done the most in

furious if 1t went against them. Ar

which people with sufficient means would
like to own for their amusement and the
sake of variety. However he said Mr..
