N Oxford, Mass.--*"'1 had lost three children and I was all run down and so weak I could not sleep at night. My eyesight would leave me and every- thing I ate upset | my stomach. Iwas | very nervous and if I would start to sweep | would have to stop and Tie down before I could finish. I was looking over the paper one day and read of a woman who felt as I did and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, so I took it too. Now I am "proud to tell you I am feeling fine and have given birth to a boy baby. He is my 'Pinkham ' baby. I keep a bottle of Compound in my house always."-- Mrs, PETER MARCO, Box 54, North Oxford, Mass.

I ENTERTAIN A LOT OF % | SCANDAL MONGERS | the entire eve 1916, by the McClure fpaper Syndicate) The tongues of the gossips soon be- came so annoying that I determined to take sreps to stop their talk about me. 1 decided te invade the camp of the enemy. Our town was not a large one, -but the few people who lived in it loved amusement, and there was hardly a night that there was not a dance or a social funetfon of some sort given by a member of the set in which I formerly moved. My plan was to give a reception, followed by g-dance. 1 hit upon this Be ause I could invite both-old and young. 1 asked two young matrons who I knew had done most of the godsiping about me to assist mother-and me in: re- ceiving, 1 eould not conceive of a more effective way to satisfy their curiosity about me, and | made up my mind that I would teil then that Ar- thur had gone on a long business trip, and that it was necessary for me to return tq my mother's home during his absence I knew that nothing stimulated gossip so much as mys- tery and 1 deternfined that there should be no more mystery thrown about me Mother entered (Coy heartily into my plan and assisted me in the prelimin- aries, but my main-reliance in car- rying out the arrangements for the affair was upon William. Of conrse I did not tell him my motive. [I sim- ply stated to him that I had been in- vited to so many places since my re- turn that I felt 1 was under social obligations to nearly every one in town, despite the fact that 1 had ad cepted none of the invitations. which had been sent me. William accepted my sfatements without enthusiasm, but he was plainly nonplussed. He could not understand why I wanted to entertain everybody in town, 'but he did not ask me any questions. Everything I told him to do he did with alacrity and he eyen made sug- gestions for the carrying out of cer- tain details of the affair. William did not care for social af- fairs. - He tald me that he had only been to two or three receptions in 'his life. He did not dance, and in- sisted that having reached the ad- vanced age of 28 he was too old to learn, "But you may be sure of one thing, Roxane," he told me, "I shall enjoy being at your reception. It will be an< unusual experience for me be- cause I feel that this affair is partly my own, on account of the errands I have run for you in. connection with it. I am almost sorry that 1 do not know how to danee, Dut I suppose I can entertain the aged and infirm while the younger folk are enjoying themselves whirling about~, the room." "You certainly will not entertain I told him, "for 1 shall keep.you near my sidé ning.

"A i neither of us dance?" he questioned quickly. I glanced at him for a moment and will 1 'a stop the proceed-! | turn because he knew Saw that his face'had suddenly sober-1 ed. "Why shouldn't I dance," him "Just because you have glected I of the gayest ar why should I become a wallflower?' "I do not want you 'to-dance," insisted. "These young fellows about town who go to dances are not the kind of men for you, Roxane,. There isn't one of them worthy to shake hands with you, much less to dance with you." "Oh! 1 don't know." 1 returned, 'there is little Johnny Wilson, who | { her head he | | | has the reputation of being the finest | All the girls and I dancer in the country say he dances 'divinely,' sure he has a perfectly odor about him. I think it he uses, And there is Jimmy Daw son who Is skilled enough to be a dancing master him®elf., The girls are all crazy about him too." William laughed. "If 1 too you seriously, Roxane, I would give you a long lecture," he said, "Ay it is, I know you are jest- ing. * You wouldn't dance with either Johnny or Jimmy unless you were compelled to by circumstances." "But I may be sompelled to dance with them," I told him. 'I shall be the hostess and there are many things required of hostesses." '""And I shall see to fi that as my hostess you will be compelled to ob- serve my wishes," he remarked: de- terminedly. 'If Johnny Wilson or any other Johnny asks you to dance with him you can depend upon me to prevent it even if I have to call the police. I am not going to see Johnny Wilson place his arms about your waist when that privelege is de- nied me, simply boca! have not learned to dance." 5 I could see that he meant every word he sald and I fancied that his threat would be carried out 'even if he had to take someone by the throat and throw him out of the house. It was clearly my affair 'to. manage things so that in entertaining . my! guests I shouldn't hurt my good friend, Billy Bent. The reception came fully up to my expectations so far as the matter of attendance was concerned. Every- body I knew was there. I think the am | delightful | ig violet!

How 8mart Rest Gowns Flame In Oriental Colors. In the direction of the boudoir gown the feeling for rainbow radiancy is specially marked, and, as there are no - hard and fast rules as to styles to be observed, it follows that no limit is placed on the creative genfus of the clefer costumiere, whose fancy in the matter of cut and color is given free rein. The little shoulder capes, the wide turnover collars, the short, straight coats now in vogue and the varied forms of stole and pelerine provided for wear over the transparent corsage, which is the cgrsage of the moment, are excellently adapted for diversity in the matter of color treatment. Gossamer chiffon and stiff broeade of an oriental gorgeousness of hve are alike employed. Taffeta, faille, satig, lace--none of these materials comes amiss to the dressmaker with ideas. The gorgeous costumes of the princes of India have inspired some of the boudoir coats, which are not only eastern in the splendor of their color- ing, but in actual shape resemble more than a little the long coat which so often forms part of an oriental's dress.
