WOMAN'S PAINS

Louisville, Ky.-Influenza left Mrs. Volney A. Handy, of l27 North Six teenth Street, this city, in dangerous condition. "f suffered tortures with my sides," she says, land across my back. It seemed the pain would start at the back of my neck and down in my back and sides--a pain that felt like I was pulling in two. couldn't stand on my feet. My limbs just gave way.
 q had taken Cardui as a tonic. knew it was good. l told my husband I would try it again. had used other things without relief. After one-half bottle of Cardui, the pain got less hard and I seemed to relax. I could straighten up. After one and half bottles, was able to walk around and do my work. My back was stronger and the bearing-down pains left. took altogether three bottles, and it strengthened me.
 "Why, before took Cardui, was so nervous and in such fix l couldn't eat or sleep. Afterwards my nerves were better. gained my strength. began to eat and sleep and was like another person"
 Womanly pains cause great suffer ing, and a medicine that will relieve them is indeed worth knowing about. Thousands of women have written to tell that Cardui helped them. relieving such symptoms as those described above. If you suffer in this way

There comes a time to every mar rIed woman when she looks across the table at the man to whom she is united in the holy bonds of wedlock, and wonders what made her do it- when she speculates sadly upon what lire might have been if only she had married her ideal
 We'll, madam, suppose you had married the Fairy Prince of your girlish dreams. He would have been very, very handsome, tall and slim, and straight and 1.-the; far different from the fat, tubby, bald-headed gen tleman who is your yokemate. Your ideal certainly would have been easy on the eyes. It would have been a joy to your esthetic sense to contem- plate his godlike lineaments, and as you heard the murmur of adFnfration that always greeted his appearance you would have felt thrill of pride.
 Or would it have been jealousy in stead of pride that agitated your bosom?
 Few women are afflicted with as- tigmatism when good-looking man is in sight. Nor can they resist mak- ing fools of themselves over him or a fool of him. So the wife of an Adonis has her work cut out for her, She has got to meet all corners, and defend her title of wife, no matter how she is handicapped by age, weight or lack of nimbleness on her feet, and the only way she can win out is by putting more punch in her flattery, and giving more of a Wallop to her adulation than younger wom- en do
 Without doubt 1t Is a great thing to rave living picture in the house, but real works of art come high especially when they are portraits or romantic looking men. The pleasure a woman experiences in owning one of these Is slightly dampened oy hearing everybody draw lnVlalous comparisons between them and say; "Is that his wife! Do you mean to tell me that magnificent looking man is married to that little trump of woman? You would have thought ne would have picked out somebody Tn his own classe
 No, my dear you would not have been better off if you had marrleu your handsome Fairy Prince. The unornamental little man who IS your side partner may not be mucn .o look at, but he's mighty eomfertaple to live with. There's a lot or peace and rest in having a husband that other women are not trying to get net only children, but wives and nus hands, how much this first aid to the soul means in the everyday life.
 Many people would be astonished 1T they were told that they had neglect- ed some loved one who was woundeo in body. They would be ready 10 fight at such an accusation. le' these peopIe are the very ones who have forgotten the importance of esv- ing solace to the soul at the mo ments of life when 1t is most needed
 A loving word, kiss, handclasp' a letter of appreciation, word ol approval, a little rem endurance or eift-these are the seeming trifles or sfe that are often more needed than physical treatment.

away from you, and it's heap more soothing to a wife's nerves to have her husband burn incense before her than it is for her to be on the jump keeping the punksticks a-light be- fore him.
 Perhaps your ideal was the cave man. Every woman dreams of mar rying a strong, masterful man who will be hard and cold to all the bal ance of the world, but wax in her hand Every woman dreams of be- ing wooed by a human cyclone, and being dragged off to his two-by-four furnished flat by the hair of her head.
 And when matrimony gets dull, and flat, and placed, and she is so bored that she is about to yawn her head off, she looks at the meek little man that turns his pay enve- lope over to her without opening 1t, and wipes hi3 feet on the mat be- fore he dares enter his own door, and she thinks how many more thrills there would be in matrimony If only she had married her ideal he-man instead of the weak sister she did.
 Certainly there would have been more thrills in it if she had gotten her 1QGal caNemdn-diSO mOIe DAdCh eyes, and barrels more of tears. For there isn't any such animal as the man who is raging lion abroad and a lion at home, It's the other way about. Nor is any wife, in these days, going to stand for master as long as the trains are still running to Reno.
 Cavemen and sheiks are fine in novels and moving pictures, but for real, comfortable, everyday living, there is nothing like . good, thor oughly domesticated. housebroken husband, I-
 Perhaps your ideal was a man of the artistic temperament. A poet and dreamer. A man whose soul Is set on the higher things of life. A man who would make love to you in beautiful language, and discourse to you by the hour about souls. A man who would help you to psycho- analyze yourself, and find out why you thought what you thought you thought, and feel the way you be- lieve you feel.
 A man who would wander away into the woods with you on beauti- full spring days. and lie at your feet and tell you that your eyes were just the color of blue bells, and who would sit entranced by the fire on

Courtship And Marriage
By BETTY VINCENT

Dear Miss Vincent; Please help me to solve my problem. Two years ago I met a man whom l learned to love dearly. I have never had the pleasure of knowing his mother, but he is continually praising her. 1 have come in contact with many young men and they were all anxious to have me meet the folks but he on the contrary, has told me he is afraid to introduce me to his mother, his father being dead, Several weeks ago we had a misundeTstand- inv and I sent a note, very per sonsl one, which his mother found and read Since that time she has disliSed me, This is a new expe- rience for me for SO many older folks have told me I have a knack of winning people over. l have been told that if 1 personally went %o see this young mans mother l could eX- winter nights while you played him stormy Russian music. How differ ent your ideal Is from the business man to whom you are married, who doesn't know a thing about poetry, but is wizard in the hardware trade who thinks you need dose vague yearnings in the spring, and who thinks that the way to show woman that you love her is to make life soft for her. instead of pallaver- ing over her.
 Reflect sister, that tho wives of poets and dreamers mostly live on shabby back streets and have to fight it out with the butcher, and that, after all, there are few better ways of lovemaking than to say it with checks. You may pine a little for romance as you roll around in your limousine, but you'd long a lot more for a limousine if you had to hoof it with romance.
 After all, much as we complain of our husbands and wives, if they were all put on the bargain counter and we had a second chance, don't you suppose that most of us would find ourselves going back home with the same old bunch of goods?

 Many men, especially young men who are the sole support of widows, have to fight home influence. A man boy" seldom makes a good husband, The only thing you can do is to wait and see if the man is manly enough to come around of his own free will.

 ton W. Kelley, Putnam

The body of Capt Patrick F. Kelley of the ill-fated fishing schooner Nata. lie of Edgartown was recovered Sun. day morning in Vineyard Sound. The body was discovered by Capt. Crack of Falmouth. Capt. Kelley was q cousin of Milton W. Kelley, who is ar employe of the Putnam Patriot.
 The body was badly deeomposed It was taken ashore to the ReneaI undertaking roonk. where Medical Examiner Edward P. Worth of Ed gartown viewed 1t. Friends of Capt Kelley, including Ralph $. Taylor Capt. Horace O. Hillman and Capt Robert Jackson. viewed the body ana positively identified 1t as that of Capt Kelley.
 A receipt for a postofiice box is. sued by the Nantucket postoffice and made out to Pat Kelley, postoffice bos 556, was found iu the clothing. A sum of money was also found.

 Just before he was to sail Capt Kelley had a telegram to the effect that his mother was dying, so hs changed h.s plans and sold the fist at Newport. He received 5000 fol the fish, and it is believed that this was the sum of money found on hi. body.
