CONDUCTED BY MRS W. H.FEETON

mum, exploited General. Tom Thumb
and his wife and made thousands OF
dollars thereby. When they came to
Washington, D. c., in the '7Os they
were in their very prime.
AS Hon. A. H. Stephens was a Grip
pie, the midgetS visited him in his
parlor. We boarded in the same hotel.
1 had a little delicate boy, about
seven or eight years old, who rarely
went in crowded places. Mr.. Stephens
sent for us to go to his parlors ana
see General and Mrs. Tom Thumb. II
was sight to remember, and We all
were delighted, from the aged states
man to the little boy. The little boy
was much taller than either of them,
though they were full grown MAI.
and woman. She was thirty years old
when 1 saw her and he was several
years her senior. They lived at home
like real folks when they were not
travelling. They had little furn1-
ture, little everything to suit their
size or necessities.
They had the handsomest little car
rlage L ever saw, pair of beauti-
fully matched ponies of light brown
color, and they travelled the big
streets in perfect safety, drawing
hundreds of interested people along
with them.
They dressed in the height Of style,
the finest of clothes and adornments
Their whole outfit was superb. They
were both native Americans. were
married in 1863, during the Civil
war, had a magnificent church we'd
ding in New York City. 1 shook hands
with the tiny pair when l left the
room, and how long they remained
with the Georgia statesman l do not
recollect. They were perfect in shape
and only lacked size. They seemed to
be entirely pleased with each other.
Tom Thumb died in 1885, less than
ten years later. The widow married
an Italian midget called Count
Mayri. She died two years ago, quite
an old lady.
I saw another midget less than
two feet high. She was born in South
America. She was duller in nina,
but most remarkable.

STRANGE HOW

Caryville, Tenn.-Hoping her ex-
perience may benefit others who suf-

women. Mrs. Charles Rains, of this
(CampbelD county, says: II had
womanly troubles till couldn't rest,
couldn't sleep, and was nervous and
suffered a great deal of pain in my
head, limbs and back. I would get
to the place where I couldn't move
without great effort.
For years I had known Of Car

will just go on suffering when the
best remedy in the world is right at
hand-but we do!
"But finally the pain was worse,
my suffering so great 1 knew must
do something. A friend mentioned
Cardui and we sent for it. One bot
tie helped me.
Il took a course of Cardui, re-
gained my strength, built myself UP
and felt like a new woman.
Can 1 recommend Cardui? Yes,
and gladly, for it is a God-send to
suffering women. 1 hope when they

women they don't wait, but get thi,
sure remedy at once"

MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

LIVELY SISTERS.
1t is impolite for one person
to turn the back of his chair
pany, especially unless asking
permission to do so. And to sit
astride chair and lean on it's
back is very impolite. A girls
home is not like a public place
such is a grocery store or town
hall. When young men call to,
see the ladies, they should bring
ners whether taught or instinct
i've, of which they are capable.
Lending ones jewelry is not al
ways safe and gentleman
should feel a hesitancy about
taking a girls ring. For if it is
a keepsake from some departed
loved one, and he should lose it,
he will never be able to replace
it for the value of sentiment
placed upon it.
1 am coming to you for advice.

A very satisfactory, and at

treating hair which has become
dry and split, is as follows:
Loosen the hair, shake out well,

JouRNA1 PICTURES

ATLANTA JOUENAA @xCG " NED
Those of our Country Home readers
who fail to see the wonderful pages
devoted to pictures and called the
Rotogravure Section, certainly miss
a great treat. I look toward to these
Sunday pictures with interest There
are always eight pages, and while a
few of them are lad" pictures the
others are devoted to people and
landscapes, to great professions, and
palatial residences, and all sorts OF
interesting things that one does not
see in any newspaper elsewhere,
that comes to my house. These pic
lures are part and parcel with The
Sunday Atlanta Journal. | am TOO
ancient to care much for the funny
papers, but 1 am always pleased to
scan the Rotogravure Section.
am not informed as to the ex-
pense incurred by the enterprising
managers of The Atlanta journal to
to its readers, but it is obliged to be
very considerable. Not one Of them
should be thrown in the waste bas-
ket or destroyed.
Those who do not care to preserve
them for their own keeping should
send or give them to young folks who
are not able to subscribe but do en-
Joy the pictures. 1t makes me glad
when 1 can give lot of such news
papers to the mountain boys who
come down from the hills with wag-
onloads of apples or cabbages. and
whose fathers go into the houses
with samples of their produce and
the boys sit in front to hold the lines
over the mules, or as it happens very
often. a staiwart pair of oxen. 1t is
an easy thing to do to give away
such delightful picture papers. and
the children will never forget the
kindness. 1t costs but little, but is
valuable.
In reading the ma gazine section Of
the last Sunday Atlanta Journal
fell upon a detailed account of the
last of these midgets who created
such a sensation in this country
more than forty years ago.

l am coming to you for some ad-
vice. l have three songs which I
would like to have music added.

the next few years. They are my
best ones. l am unable to have the
work done now and would like to

songs are in the biggest demand. 1

to furnish the money to finish them
and give them half of the sale price.

money, but she died before L had
them ready and so have not asked
any one else to help me yet

items. Is girl fifteen years old too
young to wear high heel shoes? And
how long should she wear her
dresses? What will prevent black
heads?
Your advice through The Journal
will be appreciated.
A young girl of fifteen is not
too young to wear high heel
shoes. But, from a point of
health, the low heels are better.
So many of the young girls in
society now are wearing low
heel shoes and slippers alto
gether. At evening affairs they
have the f1at-heeled slippers, as
well as for street, or for sport.
