COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
Every woman loves a pretty wedding,
and would not be willing. to see it
shorn of its attractive features. Con-
sequently sOme people, recalling the
weddings of a few years ago, are loud
in lamentation over the dwindling
away of the bridesmaid—noticeable in
many of the recent events.
It was formerly thOught absolutely
necessary that a bride should be at.
tended by at least ten or twelve of her
‘girl friends, in costumes chosen for
them, quite regardless of individual
cOmplexions, and looking not by any
means, their best and sweetest in the
rather trying circumstances and the
cruel morning light.
Well, let us be thankful that the
more sensible bride of to-day has
opened her eyes to the fact that she
can trip just as gayly to the altar with
only a sister or two and a pair of small
pages as a suitable background, and
that she appears to much greater ad-
vantage when not smothered and quite
obliterated from View by a dense sur-
rounding of female loveliness.
The truth i; the young woman of to-
day rather scouts the idea Of a female
friend. The confidant of her hopes
and fears and love affairs is just the
last person on earth she wants at her
elbow, and the bosom friend of her
school days is treated to a very cool re-
ception when the first male acquaint-
ance dawns upon the scene.
From among her male acquaintances
she selects her chums, and is generally
“hand and glove” with a very con-
siderable number of the opposite sex
on the safe lines of comradeship.
It, perhaps, would be well ifa woman
would exercise a similar caution with
regard to her own sex after her mar-
riage, and be a little reticent about
her domestic affairs.
But itis only after marriage that she
forgets the golden rule of silence and
worries her women friends to death
over various subjects on which it
would be better if she were silent,
pouring into sometimes too willing
ears, ever on the alert for a subject of
gossip. her repi'nings and complaints,
more especially on the vexed question
of money.
Do you not think it a matter of the
deepest importance that every woman
should be early and thoroughly trained
in the proper outlay of money ?
I think the mother who fails to give
her daughter ‘a complete insight into
the mysteries Of household expendi.
ture signally neglects one of the most
important duties Of her position.
Too often, however. it happens that
a girl. who never in her girlish days
had the management of the smallest
amount of money, finding herself after
her marriage in possession of what
seems to her an unlimited amount,
throws herself heart and soul into the
delights of making ducks and drakes of
every penny she can lay her hands
on, under the happy conviction that
plenty more will be forthcoming at her
command.
Surely in these busy days no woman
can complain of a difficulty in finding
something to do when every day sees
some new field thrown open to her.
Nothing, indeed, bars her from any oc—
cupation save her own incompetency.

Some Foolish People
Allow a cough to run until it gets be-
yond the reach of medicine. They
often say, “ Oh, it will wear away,” but
in most cases it will wear them away.
Could they be induced to try the suc'
cessful medicine called Kemp’s Balsam,
which is sold on a positive guarantee
to cure, they would immediately see
the excellent effect after taking the
first dose. Price 25c and 500. Trial
size free. At all druggists

Women have alWays been conSidered
just a wee bit lower than the angels,

Have you noticed that ”the lorgnette
is no longer essentially correct ? The
reading glass is supplanting it, and
every woman who considers herself au
fait wears one on the long gold chain
that hangs around her neck.

will greatly improve the dish of choc-

The Chrysanthemum is no longer the
correct boutonniere for the well-d ressed
man. Gardenias and voilets are the
vogue.
The swell woman has evid ently taken
the veil, for she wears it on every pos.
sible occasion, and even in the evening
at the theatre does nOt think it nec-
essary todiscard it.
WHAT Sim: w: on.
A serious and dangerous disease pre-
vails in this country, dangerous be-
cause so deceptive. It comes on so
slowly yet surely that it is often firmly
seated before we are aware Of it.
The name of this disease which may
be divided into three distinct stages is,
First, Kidney trouble, indicated by
pain in the back, rheumatism, lumba-
go, frequent desire to urinate, often
with a burning sensation, the flow of
urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches
the Second stage, or Bladder trouble,
with heavy pain in the abdomen low
down between the navel and the water
passage, increasing desire to urinate,
with scalding sensation in passing,.
,small quantities being passed with dif-
ficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel
has formed, it will prove dangerous if
neglected.
The third stage is Bright’s Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that
Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and blad-
der specialist. has discovered a Remedy
famous for its marvelous cures of the
most distressing cases and known as
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root.
It is sold by all druggists.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of
this great discovery, Swamp-Root, a
sample bottle and book of valuable in-
formation will be sent absolutely free
by mail on application to Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghampton, N. Y. When
