invasion from nine young ladies on
Thursday when they came in and
demanded to be served the best the
place afforded. Of course their man
ners were new and strange to the

from England, Spain and Russia.
They occupied three tables, and the
long room was beautifully decorated
for the occasion with lovely flowers
of dogwood, crabapple blossoms,
peach blooms, yellow jassamine and
ribbon grass, all presenting a picture
of spring. Only the ladies were of
the leap, skip and jump variety.
Seated were Miss Helen Cameron,

Miss Marie DeBauks, Norfolk, Va;
Miss Tootsie Maybank, Briston, Eng

kidneys, and the blood catches the
impurities that these organs have
failed to eliminate.
The quickest way to prevent or

kidneys and blood all at the same

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local IMPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rurnbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infamed condition OF the mucous sur
