Still [Vernon Vane does not speak, but he leans over the balcony and peers into the shrubbery lying some distance be. neath. Vernon Vane moves slightly and straightqns his back. "What are you looking at down there t" asks the Honorable Clarence. "I was wondering," he says, with quiet intentness. "whether if a man were I pitched over the balcony, he would break I his neek." The Honorable Clarence stares and f strokes wonder "Don't know," he says. "Let's go in," and he pitches his cigarette away. "Yes. I think we had better," assent: the other, with a significance which is entirely lost upon the self-satisfied Hon- orabie. Vernon Vane's handsome face looks grimmer as "e strides arross the room. He looks, as Miss Georgina whispers in a sentimental giggle to Jeanne, who has finished her song and is saying good- night-Nike an angry prinee." "He is very handsome, really, my dear Jeanne!” whispers Georgina, "and quite too charming, don't you think! It's such a. play that he's only an artist, and BO DO you: . “Is he, is it.'" says Jeanne, with 1 little start. and she raises her eyes to the face that looks. indeed, singularly handsome and noble in contrast with the commonplace muntenmces of the pill- maker opposite.

A Great Ilesptmsiliity Rests on Mothers of Growing Girls A great and serious responsibility rests upon every mother whose daugh- ter is passing the threshold of girl- hood into womanhood. She is at a cri- sis, and if she is to be a healthy, happy woman, she must develop rightly now. She must not be pale, sunken-eyed, sal- low, languid and bloodless at this time. She must have additional strength and rich, pure blood to help her to strong, healthy womanhood. There is only one absolutely certain way to get new, rich, health-giving blood, and that is through the use of Ur. williams' Pink Pills. Ev- ery pill helps to make rich, life-giving (blood, that brings strength to every 01‘- gan in the body and the glow of health to pale, sallow cheeks.

Any major operation lasting more than an hour and a half entails an additional risk; in operations of long duration the chances of recovery are comparatively small. This is due to shock, to the eu- mulative effect of the anaesthetic, to los of blood and to lowering of the patient's temperature by the exposure of internal areas to the air. Because of this the best surgeons work with a mechanical precision and economy of l movement. Everything is ready before the operation commences; an ttsri/nt is at hand to look after the details of se- tual work. such as holding buck the edges of the incision, ndjusting the lign- turen. eta: an expert in tnmtheais. handles the chloroform and satche- the subjeet'tt pulse and respimtimy in order that the ijperator't time may be devoted wholly to one point. sad I. deft nurse, adept in the use of every instrument. needle and chemical preparatioy,. is st the turgeon's elbow, ready to hind out 1 at s woid-rometimes before the word-- l the shining instruments already filed in i the order of thir probable use.
