we learn that a yourig lady with a well -

According to this agreeable calculation it
appears that a waltz of average duration

to renovate her complexion will aug

:for young ladies to find ,mportuniteies of
taking active exereises after dinner, To
meet this difficulty Sir Themes 'Watson

In this condition ehe lingered on until
August, 1891, some fifteen months after
ehe was first taken ill, and while we were
sorrowfully awaiting what seemed the in-
evitable end, a ray of hope came. I read
in a newspaper of a remerkable cure from
the use of Dr. Williams'Pink Pale for Pale
People, and while I feared that I had heard
of this wonderful medicine too late, I
hoped almost against hope and sent to the
headquenters of the company, at Brockville,
Oat., for a supply. .A.t this time, Lela was
not able to be removed from her bed ; her
weight was reduced to 90 pounds, and her
lips were blue. You will thus see how
hale hope there appeared for her when the
begat( the use of Dr. Wil/iama' Pink Pitts.
After she had taken the firer, box, although
there was no visible improvement, she
thought they were doing her good and hek
spirits began to rise. At the end of the second
hex I could notice the improvement, and
Lela was very hopeful, and felt life was re
turning to her again. After she had been
taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pine for a
month, ehe was able to get up, and by Oc-
tober she was so well that she could super.
intend work about the house. She still
continued taking the Pills, and rapidly re
covered all her old-time health, strength
and spirits. I cannot tell you," continued
Mrs. Callen,

"how deeply grateful I a

daughter's life. You may be sure that
both me and mine will always warmly
recommend it, as we have every reason
to do."

Your correspondent then called uponMr,
G. Templeton, the well-known druggiet
Stephen avenue. In reply to an enquiry
as to what he could tell me about Dr. Win
Marna' Pink Pills Mr. Templeton replied :
16 What can I tell you about Pink Pills?
Well, I can tell you, ' they are the most
wonderful medicine I ever handled, I had
experience with them in Ontario beforecom-
ing here., and in all my experience as a
druggist I never knew any medicine to have
such a wonderful demand, or give such great
satisfaction. My experience here has been
like my experience in Ontario, all who have
used Dr. William'? Pink Pills speak in their
praise, and if I were to tell you how many
boxes I am selling here daily you would be
readily eacused for being somewhat incredu-
lous. If I am asked to recommend a medi-
cine, I unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Wil-
liam's Pink Pilbs, and my confidence in
them has never been misplaced. I have
already said the demand for Pink Pills ia
estonishing, and they invariably give the
beet eatisfaction. I know this to be so from
thestatements of customers. I have sold here
and in Ontario thousands of bone:: and have
no hesitation in recommending them
as a perfect blood builder and nerve
restorer, curing such diseases as rheu-
matism, neuralgia, partial paralysis,
locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance nervous
headache, nervous prostration anethe tired
feeling therefrom, the after effecte of la
grippe, diseases depending on humors of the
blood, such as sanfula, chronic erysipelas,
eto. Pink Pills give a healthy glow to
pale and sallow complexions, and are a
specific for the troubles peculiar to the
female system, and in the case of men they
effect a radical cure in all caeca 'Irking
frotn mental worry, over -work or excessee
of any nature.
These Pdis are manufactured by the Dr.
Williams' IVIedieine Company, Brookville,
Ont., and Schellectady, N. Ye, and are sold
only in bone bearing the firm's trade mark

Bingham, hastily. Enter Darcy). Well,
Aele !

you to do something for em, dear Mrs.
Meredith,
Mrs. Meredith --I'll do anything for yen,
my dear boy, but dance with you.
Darcy (shorttly)—I cloznb want you to
dance with me,
Mrs. Meredith --Thank you.
Darey--bTot now, at least. But why de
you say you won't? .
Mrs, Meredith—Because I don't care to
have my feet trodden on every minute be.

partner in the lancers so that you may get
lelay Darling to be our visenvie—to be
brought up short in a waltz that you May
stop near where May Darling ie fanning her-
self and talking to her partner—,.
Darcy—Heavens 1 You don't mean to
say you notice—
Mrs. Meredith—Don't interrupt I Now,
though May Darling is undoubtedly the
prettiest gni of the MEM, I don't see why
she should be allowed to devastate the ball-
room in this way, She puts all young men
iitto such a state of cantatas° adoration that
you are absolutely useless for the ordinery
purpose's?' 9f life ; and I consider it is tinte
she made Viler mind one way or another
and selected 'hen viotim—her permanent
victim.
Darcy eagerly) ---Wan extraordinary in-
tuitions you have ! Th 18 just what I.
wanted to ask you about. YeanKwasting---
• Mrs. Meredith—Away? •
Darcy—No, my time. Don't 1atig4.4 I
assure you it is becoming a very mime
matter. And she puzzles me. Moat women
make tip their minds long before a, man does,
and can't help letting him see it; but this
is the most enigmatical little woman I ever
—adored—for I really do, you know. Only
I (ain't make her out in the least.
Mrs. Meredith—Of court° not. The girl
isn't a fool.
Darcy (sharply)—What do you mean?
• Mrs. Meredith—Such a fool as to show
her hand. It's her first season, remember.
She must not be too precipitate. In the
game of marriage, as in poker, you must
"bluff" a little.
Darcy (bitterly)—You mean in case one
or the other of the players may be dispolied
to " go one better ?"
• Mrs. Meredith—Precisely. It's the world
we live in.
Darcy—But still, in the end, one has to
"see ' her, and I don't know why it
shouldn't be me. I am not badly oft. I
cen give her what she has been accustomed
Mrs. Meredith—Then you sbould "call."
To drop this poker metaphor—you should
propose to hem!
• Darcy (fretfully)—How can I propose till
I know ? -
• Mrs. Meredith—He either fears his fate
too much—
Daroy (stilly—No man should expose
himeel to the chance of a refusal.
Bias. Meredith (archly) — Surely the
chances of that in your case are infinites-
imal ! Strange, too, some men are poor
spirited enough to riek that contingency.
Darey—Weak idiots ! A man ought to
have more sense of Ms own dignity. I have
-never given royeelf away yet, and I don't
mean to. But I vvish 1 were not so abomin-
ably in 10Ve.
Mrs. Meredith—With your themiee, jack
Darcy, you should have contrived to keep
cool and wait until it was a dead certaint
before you bestowed your affeotions. But,
to come to business, what CS111 I do for
you?
Darcy—A great deal. You can find out
for me.
Mrs. Meredith—Which way heraffections
tend? Inn not a particular friend of hers,
you know.
Dareer—All right, then; Tenni tell me the
truth.
Mrs. Meredith ---Cynic I Wein go on
what am 1 to do?
Deny—Watch her. They're all here,

Mrs. Meredith—Who?
Darcy—My possible rivals. This is the
last ball of the season, and I mean it to be
the crucial test—for me. Let me see (counts
on his fingers)—Regy Bingham, that ass
Heaviside, Lawson—.
Mrs. Meredith—Is that all?
Darcy—Yes, there's nobody else, that I
know. •
• Airs. Meredith—Quite sure? No " out-
sider" ? Remember the Derby the other
day. In these matters, you know, one
should always take the unknown quantity
into account.
Darcy—That really is all. Those are the
owes three I'm at alt afraid of, and I'm not
really afraid of them. There's Bingham—
her mother likes Biogliam ; thinks he will
be civil to her when she's his mother-in-law.
Ciood for Bingham, but he won't get May ;
she snubs him. Then Lawson—
Mrs. Meredith—She sits on the stairs
with him.
Dercy—That's nothing. She goes down
t he garden with Inc.
Mre Meredith—One for you. How
about Heaviside?
Darcy—Ob, we need hardly count him,
the only takes him in to sapper.
Mrs. Meredith (quickly)—Does she care
for supper?
Darcy—Good healthy appetite! I don'b

Mrs. Meredith (thoughtfully)—I never
knew a woman whine affections were

so long as the man she loved was beside

Darcy—Good heavens! I don't want her

WOMAN'S BARGAIN.DAT MANIA.
Eastiy Persuaded to Bay ffiseless Things

There are few women who can realist

thing constitutional in a woman's love for
bargains
"Just think of it," one will say to an-
other, "rugs for ri dollar apiece,' or "lace
worth 50 cents a yard to be eold at 18,"
says the Chicago Journal. "1 =Mt-

would do for Nellie's new dress." She

ease her esonecience.
The lace may be cream instead of the
pure white Nellie's new dress requires..
You will never have another chance like
this," the sal, sman says. That 'settles it.
Madame knows she has /10 present use for -
it, perhaps never eliall have, but "it was
such a bargain."
Her money is gone, and as far as present
needs are concerned the lace is useless. It
sounds like madness ; it really is a eort of
mania that enters a woman's mind.
She loves to buy a thing she thinks she is
getting at half its value, and 18 15 only the

needed, who dares not indulge, juet by way

gains.
