The whist craze among women seems to be in no danger of subsiding. It is still as- general as it is virulent. In city, town and rural neighborhood the country over one finds the whist club n full swing. ' There are women who belong to such organizations by the half dozen. and whose entire time is spent in whisting it first at one club and then at another. .. A significant fact is the kind of women making up these whist clubs, being neither the society butterflies pure and simple, nor yet those more in- tellectual souls who go in for the mu- tual improvement societies, but a kind of cross between the two. The feminine population of most middle-sized cities is nowadays divided into society women, club women and whister-s. As in most things, the same rule holds good of this city, but with a Here the fever has not at- tained its provincial virulence. Norwalk women have too much else to occupy them ever to become wholly given over to any one frenzy. An extravagant interest in whist un- doubtedly exists, however, and it is significant that of all frenzies that women anywhere have lately indulged in, this frenzy for whist has lasted longest. . Apparently age cannot wither nor custom stale its infinite .variety. The question of whether women play whist as ‘well as ‘ men has long ago been set- tled, and in their favor. Without doubt some women play whist better than some men, and there are steadily in- creasing signs that before long it may be that many women will play whist better than many men. There’s no getting away from it, how- ever, that the average woman whister plays the game in a very different way from most men. She may follow the rules to the letter, and it may be im- possible to trip her up on a single tech- pinch she looks for favors and she calm- ly appropriates indulgences which the very thought of would make a man whister tremble in his boots. “She may not call it cheating,” one woman was heard to say to another up- on a suburban train not long ago, “ but I know they’d call it that in a man’s club. What’s more, no man’s club would put up with it for one minute. A man that would do the things that Mrs. Singleton does would be expelled from any organimtion.” I You know she always plays with the same woman—Mrs. Yarborough—but I never realized that there might be method in such madness until the other afternoon, when I played against them for the first time. . game, I turned and begged them to try Blank’s, «cough mixture, they seemed to be suffering from such dreadiul colds.” .9! flay/.4. yea... AA‘ ‘ V Glorious News Comesfrom Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Washita, I. T. He writes: “Four bottles of Electric Bitters has cured Mrs. Brower of scrofula, which had caused her great sufiering for years. Terrible sores would break out on her head and face, and the best doctors could give no help; but her cure is complete and her health is excellent.” This shows what thousands have proved ——that Electric Bitters is the best blood purifier known. It’s the supreme remedy for eczema,‘tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running sores. It stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion builds up the strength.

Shoplifters find the new golf capes a . great help to their business. The fur coat now smiles supercilious— 1y upon the cambric shirt waist. There was cleaner cut sarcasm than when we call some domestic servants “help.” It is a wise woman who is photograph- ed now if she wishes to utilize her pic- tures as Christmas gifts. Woman will never be able to possess such a comfort as a man’s pipe is to him in all sorts of trouble. The darkest time in the day is said to be just before the dawn, but for many of us it seems like an all-night blackness. To fully appreciate the meaning of the term “a mighty atom,” just inter- view a head waiter on the, ar range- ment and cost of a menu. ‘13-! o..>—————-—— THE KIDNEY‘ COMPLEXION. The pale, sallow, sunken-checked, distressed-looking people you so often meet are afflicted with “Kidney Com- plexion.” Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip color. So is their complexion. They may also have indigestion, or suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex- haustion and sometimes the heart acts badly. The cause is weak, unhealthy kid- neys. Usually the sufferer from kidney disease does not find out what the trouble is until it is almost too late, because the first symptoms are so like mild sickness that they do not think they need a medicine or a doctor until they find themselves sick in bed. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build up and strengthen their weak and dis- eased kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney-poisoned blood, clear their com— plexion and soon they will enjoy better health. You can get the regular sizesat the drug store, at fifty. cents and one dol- lar, or you may first prove for yourself the wonderful virtues of this great dis- covery,-Swamp-Root, by sending your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham- ton, N. Y., for a sample bottle and a book that tells all about it, both sent to you absolutely free by mail. When writing kindly mention that you read this liberal offer in THE NORWALK GAZETTE. the Boy and His Cap. “I can’t find my cap anywhere." is a sentence more or less familiar in the household, that, being what the boy says, looking for his c‘fi‘p. when he wants to go out to play Early in the search he enlists his mother. and that may make a serious business of it. She has to drop her dusting or whatever household work she may be engaged in, and the search may take a long time. “Where did you put it when you came in?” is a question sure to he asked, sooner or later, but all the boy can answer is: “I don’t know.” And then the search goes on. Every- where. over and under, in all sorts of places, all at a great loss of time, if not of temper. It is found at last, as most things are, in time, and in some simple easy place. which makesthe finding of it all the more exasperat- log. The boy takes it and goes out to play, and straightway forgets all about - it, but it may take quite a little time to restore the normal calm in the house. . It is a mystery how the boy manages to lose his cap as often as he do", but. it appears to be a boy's way, and common to almost all. 4 Wm. Then—well, I’m not particularly as- ; tute, but if I’d had millstones on in-; stead of pince nez I couldn’t have fail- : ed to see what those women Were up to. ‘ I’ve heard my undergraduate son talk = about “coughing up a yell for Yale,” but what do you think of two women whisters who will deliberately cough in a certain way when they want acer- i Lain suit led? ' That’s what those two did. For clubs it was one cough; for spades, two; for diamoads, three, and for hearts none at all. I couldn’t out and out denounce them then and there, but I made up my mind to ltt it be general- ly known that they hadn’t deceived me. The other wondered whether the accuser might not have been mistaken. “Mistaken!” replied the ’ accuser. “Well, if I had wan-tel proof I would have had it in the way 15 may each turn- ed fire-red when, at the end of our ‘fWhar, want to leave to-day, Jane, and you only came yesterday?” “Well. yes’m.
