MOST FOUR MONTHS LATER

It's been ages since I've written
here, l know. But there's nothing spe-
cial happened. Everything has been
going along just about as it did at the
first. Oh, there is one thing different
Peters gone He went two months
ago. We've got an awfully old chauf-
feur now. One with gray hair and
glasses, and homely, too. His name is
Charles. The very first day he came,
Aunt Hattie told me never to talk to
Charles, or bother him with ques-
tions; that it was better he should
keep his mind entirely on his driving.
She needn't have worried. l should
never dream Of asking him the things

out who Mothers lover will be than

still too soon. Peter said one day he
thought widows ought to wait at least
year, and he guessed grass-widows
were just the same. My, how mad
was at him for using that name about
my mother! Oh, I knew what he
meant. I'd heard it at school. Il

those girls act SO queer and horribly
There was a girl never liked her,
and I suspect she didn't like me,
either. Well, she found out Mother
had divorce. (You see, hadn't
told 1t. I remembered how those girls
out West bragged.) And she told a
lot of the others. But it didn't work
at all as 1t had in the West. None of
the girls In this school here had d.
vorce in their families; and, If you'll
believe 1t, they acted-some of them
as If it was disgrace, even after I
told them good and plain that ours
was perfectly respectable and gen.

And here's one about the Quaker
whose patriotism got the better Of his
religious scruples and who went to

Friend, 'tis most unfortunate for

The critical time of woman's g life
usually comes between the years Of
45 and so, and is often beset with an
noying symptoms such as nervous
ness, irritability, melancholia. Heat
flashes or waves of heat appear to
pass over the body, cause the face to
be very red and often bring on head
ache, dizziness and q sense of suffo-
cation.
Another annoying symptom which
comes at this time is an inability to
recall names, dates or other small
facts. This is liable tomake a woman
lose confidence in herself. She be-
comes nervous, avoids NEE ting
strangers and breads to go out alone.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is especially adapted to
help women at this time. It exer-
cises restorative influence, tones
and strengthens the system, and as
sists nature in the long weeks and
months covering this period. Let it
help carry you through this time of
life. 1t IS splendid medicine for the
middle-aged woman. 1t is prepared
from medicinal roots and herbs and
contains no harmful drugs or mar
cotics.
