EVE’S RTMELTNGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
One never so fully realizes the ad-
"vance of time as when avisit to the
people and places of our childhood,
forces the unwelcome fact upon' us and
we awake to the knowledge that we
are indeed getting on. We anticipate
returning to the old town in which we
went to school. and in which many of
our former schoolmates still remain.
We think of Celia, Harriet and Mar-
garet as we said good—bye to them on
graduation day, and we long to again
indulge in one of those old-time, famil-
iar chats, where confidences were ex-
changed and mutual interest-s dis-
cussed.
The train drags all too slowly for us
——will it ever reach its destination ‘9
Yes, ah, yes; there in the distance is
the same dear Old college tower, robed
in its coverings of turning ivy leaves,
but how small the building looks. Can
it be that it has shrunk ‘9
It seemed in the old days such a stu-
pendous pile, such a marvel of archi-
tecture, now dwarfed into positive
mediocrity in comparison with the
buildings we have seen since the old
college days were left behind.
What matters it if the building is a
disappointment? The girls will be the
same dear things. They will probably
.be at the station, just as in those other
days when we all made it a point to see
each other at the train, both on leaving
the town and returnmg to it.
The locomotive slows up—we have
arrived. We gaze wistfully out over
the crowd on the platform, seeking
some one who looks anything like the
pretty, gay trio we have had in our
mind so constantly during the journey.
Ah, yes, surely that is Margaret.
We would know her anywhere; but my!
she is quite gray and sue isn’t half as
stylish as she used to be. The greeting
is a bit embarrassing—evidently we
have changed as much in her eyes as
she has in ours.
Celia and Harriet, on inquiry, we
discover are kept at home by the chil-
dren, who are ill, or cross, Or some-
thing—we hardly hear Margaret’s ex-
planation of their absence.
We are disappointed, and we show
it, and when next day we see Harriet
and Celia in their homes, one a fretful,
worried invalid, the other a careless,
slovenly scold, who one minute slaps
and the next caresses theyhildren,
that are her untidy replica, we wish
that we had stayed at home and cheru
ished a memory that is far sweeter
than the hideous reality.
Of course, we probably show Time’s
ravages just as plainly as do these
friends who have outgrown our rccol-
lections.
They will undoubtedly discuss each
wrinkle and gray hair as soon as we
leave, pitying us and deploring the
change from a rosy young girl to a
faded, middle-aged woman. .
We can’t see it—even the mirror
fails to be convincing~but after the
shock We have received we presume it
is so, and sorrowfully reflect on the
new phases wrought by Time and the
disappointment that lurks in the re—
vival of youthful acquaintances and
fancies.

The hardest struggle in life is the
waiting game.
Hotel life is the lonliest sort of ex-
istence for a woman.
Many a woman with buttonless boots
yesterday wished she had weights on
her goivn. _
Many persons rave over articles of
food prepared in a chafing-dish, that
they wouldn’t touch if the plain,'or-
dinary range had been the means of
cooking them.. . ;—
The things that we do not under-
stand are generally the things that do
us the most good, which is probably
the reason why our prescriptions are
written in‘Latin and our, menus in
French.
Wear your oldest gown when you
go out with a frolicsome puppy unless
you wish to have. a skirt ruined by ca-
;nine demonstrations of delight. The
“paws” in the promenade mean a
whisk broom every time.
.The effort to look after other peo-
ple’s business keeps some individuals
so constantly employed that their own
goes to pieces.
Rain never "sounds as soothing as
when one is safely housed before an
open fire and with a good book.
The woman who is not blessed with
babies always can talk the most about
how they should be brought up.
., Our grandmothers at this season of
the year were making mincemeat and
fruit cake preparatory to the festive
days soon approaching. We, however,
can buy our Thanksgiving or Christ-
mas dinner from the first course to the
last if we so choose, thereby saving
lots of labor, but losing much of that
pleasurable anticipatory excitement
that used to make the approach of the
holidays as joyful as their actual ap-
pearance.

Origin ofo. “Round Robin."
.A round robin was originally a peti-
tion drawn up and presented by the
sailors of the British navy requesting
their officers or the. Admiralty to do
something in their interest. As peti-
tions were sometimes ofiensive and
those who signed first were liable to
punishment. the names were signed in
a. circle, so that it was impossible to
say who had been the first to append
his signature to the document.~—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Among other innovations likely to be
made before we go to war again Is
that of supplying the medical depart-
ment with doctors and medicines.

NOW TO FIND OUT.
Filla bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linenit is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr.’ Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and get up
many times during the night. The mild'
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-
Root is soon realized. It stands the high-
est i'or its wonderful cures of‘the most
distressing cases. If you need a medi-
c ne you should have the best. At drug-
'gists fifty cents or one dollar. .
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail, if you send your
address to Dr. Kilmer St 00., Bingham—
ton, N. Y. When writing be sure and
mention that you read this generous
offer in The NORWALK GAZETTE.
