 To do any kind of work, or to play for that matter, is next to impossible if you are suffering from some form of female trouble. It may cause your back or your legs to ache, 1t may make you nervo ous and irritable. You may be able to keep up and around but you do not feel good.
 Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a medicine for women. It is especially adapted to relieve the cause of the trouble and then these annoying pains, aches and "no good" feelings disappear.

 Nov, listen" pleaded the first speaker. Who really and truly likes to pay calls these days? Nobody ex- poets it any more with the exception of relatives and old ladies'"
 But think what percentage of your aequaintances those two de- versions represent" she was remind ed, and then you will have faint idea of how many calls you have shirked this last year.
 " hy. wonder. did my parents nave so many cousins and aunts and thlhss. she sighed. They are mum efous as the sands of the seashore and old ladies have never liked me-"
 They do when you behave your self, said the other, and don't shock them with your ultra modern views. Why even Aunt Lucretia, set tied in her ways as she is, says you are really charming at times. But enough! We'll make calls this after noon"

 Relatives are an ungrateful lot at best, except your own dear bro- thers and sisters" said the younger woman Is she noticed with disgust a smudge on the festive white gloves she had donned for the occa- sion. T suppose they'll scold us all the time for being so lax about our duties in calling on them"
 Well. you may as well be pre- pared. because that's the way of Cousin Lefty and Aunt Anne, and Great Aunt Tabitha, and a few of the others. Still, they adore to have us call"

 It's good for our manners as well as our souls" advised the older woman. Calling is a much neglected art; we get so used to telephone conversations and hurried luncheons and card parties and golf tourna- ments in this generation of ours that to put in an afternoon Hing seems to me a pretty good sort of dlscipline."i

amount of light must be especially
remembered in bedroom. There
is no place here for large figured
papers or dark tones. Much the
best are light green. blue. pink or
yellow or various tans in solid
effects. While separate bedrooms
may be decorated in independent
color schemes In the small house
or apartment, a much more restful
effect is obtained by making all
bedrooms the same wall color.
merely changing the note of color
in hangings or bed coverings.
That Is, five small bedrooms, either
opening into each other or seen
into at q glance might better be
decorated in a paper or washable
paint OF clear tan shade with

preference in every case is for

Z TO matter what else the bed
N room may be-charming. pic
turesque, quaint or gay-dn-
less the spirit of repose is clearly
felt to the occupant or visitor The
room cannot be said to be thor.
oughly satisfactory.
To achieve this ideal we mast
first have sufficient floor and wall
space, and this efficiently planned
to accommodate the bed and neces.
say pieces Of furniture. The chief
error in planning wall space Is to
forget to provide for the bed space;
the sleeper must not face the d.
rect light Of window. nor may
the head OF the bed cross a win
dow, nor the person In bed be In
the line of a direct draught. -Four
feet of unbroken wall surface
should be allowed for the head Of
every single bed, and from three
to four feet Of space for the dress
er. This Is often best located IN
the centre Of two windows, to Sc
cure direct light. or, at least, In a
wall space where wall bracket
fixture on either side supplies di-
rect artificial light for dressing
purposes.
Two windows are most desirable
in every bedroom, and nothing is
more attractive than q bay window
or set of small glass units which
not only afford more Hight, but
heighten the artistic effect. The
oid.fashfoned "transom" window
still has the advantage Of increas-
ing ventilation without a direct
draught.
The very deep closet is ineffi-
cient because II Is so difficult
to get at the clothing hung
furtfrest back. Shallow, wide
closets. about 1S inches deep, are
excellent, especially II fitted with
some of the improved racks which
permit a dozen coat hangers to he
brought forward at once. Closet
shelves should not be high, but
about six feet. a convenient reach
ing height. A slanting shoe shelf
Is easy to place in every closet.
IL the floor of the closet is raised
four or six inches above the room
floor level 1t will keep the closet
cleaner and afford better surface
for storage. Sliding doors are pre-
ferable and less space taking than
the outward swinging door. One
door of the room should have
full-length cheval mirror built In as
a greater convenience IN dressing.
In the home Of the future even
the dresser or shelves will be built
In, and in new homes It is very
often possible to so build a recessed
dresser, or combination dresser,
closet and shelves. One such built
recently had a small folding IRON
ing board attached to the door,
which could be let down, supported
on q leg and offered a convenient
surface for pressing clothing.
The warning that dark colors or
large patterns decrease size and
