YOUR TIRED STOMACH Some Hints on Suitable and Striking Ooe- tames for Dancers. “1 have no appetite,” you say, “‘and the little I do eat does me no good. At first it feels cold and dead in my stomach and by and by I have aches and pains that sometimes go to my chest and back. T feel weak, low spirited and out of sorts all over. I fancy the demon of dyspepsia has got me.” That's the way you talk and no wonder. But wait & moment. Let us reason together. Perbaps thus far your stomach is merely tired. You have been eating too much, eating the wrong things, and ir- regularly. You have given it too much to do, end Uke all living things, when overworked, it stops at length from sheer exhaustioe. There may not be an actually discaseil condition as yet. Still ft is ma- ture’s warning, and you must heed it or worse will | follow. “But-I must eat or starve,’ you say. True enough, but safety usually Mes In middle ‘courses. Here is one for you. Yop don't need drastic purges or exciting stimulants. Your condl- tion is one easily relieved if we go about it gently and sensibly. The tired stomach won't work under whip and spur. It has probably had too much of that already. What you require is something that fe at once a food and a digester of food. Such an article is the Shaker Digestive Cordial, dincovered and prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Lebanon, N. ¥. Taken right after eating, s0 as to mix with the food, it does the stomach’s work for it, gives it the advantage of further rest, strength- ens you in a watural way, and soon enables the stomach to do full duty.” There Is nothing else Mke this simple, safe, certain and palatable remedy.

Nothing fills up so much time so pleas- antly as a costume party or masquerade. The choosing and planning of the cos- tumes and the effort to keep it all secret causes a great deal of suppressed merri- ment, and the final display when the whole plot is revealed in all its funny and brilliant details is a spectacle that is delightful to both the onlookers and the participants. The most difficult part of the entertain- ment in the case of a masquerade is that which precedes it. To choose a costume is & most perplexing problem, bat a clever choice gives rise to a great deal of fun, cnd the wearer feels fully repaid for all the trouble he may have taken to please his hostess and her guests. It is quite customary, when a masquerade is in prospect, for the guests to seize upon all the tlustrated histories and books of drama in the house. Louis XVI costumes are very popular, and the Marie Antoinette fancies which one hag tn one’s modern wardrobe are often . Madame etc., are favorite historical characters, all of whom are pictured in the illustrated histories of the coumtries to which they belonged. onan RT TET Shakespearian characters, when well done, are always attractive. It is very nice to go in pairs, in case of a masquerade party where a young lady requires an es- cort to the place; for instance, as Hamlet and Ophelia, Bassanio and Portia, Komeo and Juliet, etc. Such costumes as these can be copied from pictures in illustraied editions of Shakespeare's works and may be done in as elegant material as one can afford. Indeed, that is the great trouble with characiers of this kind. In order to make them appear as they ought, it is nec- essary to use very heavy and very costly material and they are not usually very cod dancing costumes. For this reason the plain domino is not very popular. Light, fantastic costumes for a dance masquerade are always preferable to the clinging draperies that look pretty on the stage. That ts the reason why the flower girl, the popcorn girl, with representations of dawn, night, starlight, etc., are always so plentiful at costume parties. It is very easy, nowadays, to find charac- ters in popular songs and story books of the present time, and they are productive of more amusement than the serious char- acters of heavy drama or history. The Heavenly Twins were very popular jast year when the book of that name was being so generally read. “The Wizard of the Nile’ would make a funny character, and by acting it out cne could get a great deal of amusement. “Am I a Wiz?” would come in very apropos “Becker's, 1328 F St. Fine Leather Goods. eee ou am ave oney —and get the latest styles—by buying z x jest as the impersonator of ‘his character Yous cone had discovered the identity of his partner. ste vette bert and the C CASES = and “Hil Poff Bw im eatonre eee| 1,400 Dia.

Ore of the most original costumes of the season is one which has been planned for a house party on Thanksgiving night. It represents the bicycle scorcher, and is as pretty. as tt Js original. It is entirely~in white and gold and, of course, has a short skirt. The material is white satin. The skirt has bands of gold braid around the Lottom and up the front seams.

It is only within the present year that the company undertook to handle this water. Heretofore it was worked under lease. An old German named Mueller was the first man to save copper from the water. During the last three years Thomas Led- ford had a lease on the water. He paid a 25 per cent royalty to.the company. It is claimed that he realized at least $100,000 a year from the water. Ledford is a pretty rich man today. Now that the company is operating the water on its own account, it has discovered what a great money-making enterprise it is.
