ADVERTISEMENTS. UNHAPPY MARRIAGES. Fy MARGARET L. BRIGGS. (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.) Although it does not seem possible, some women never find out the tikes and dislikes of their husbands. Men for the most part have decided opinions about dress and the furnishings of the house, although they are usually bashful about them and rarely acknowledge them. Women ignore these things, yet expect their hisbands to live up to the love of the courtship days, a time when a Wwoman carries out even the slightest sug- gestion from the man she loves. There is one wife I know whose husband would like to see the house filled with friends, entertained by his wife dressed in her prettiest way. Yet rarely are visitors welcomed to that house, and often when they do come the husband is mortified at his wife’s appearance. Not that she is unclean, or anything of that kind. But she does not bother to keep np with the new little wrinkles of fashion, and more often than not she is dowdy and even shabby in appearance. Some men would not care about these things—her husband does, and it seems a pity she should not take the little trouble necessary to please him. Then there is the woman who is always sick. Of course, her puaband is sorry about it and sympathizes with her and loves her all the more. But if that woman has some nervous or female trouble that makes her unhappy and irritable all the time, and she is continually complaining and never doing anything to get well, by and by her husband gets tirsd of it. He stays away from home—one evening this week, perhaps more in a few weeks, always more and more—until the wife wakes up with a start some day to find that the companionship between herself and her husband is gone. She braces up and tries to get well. She fixes her gowns up prettily, she drops the fretful conversation at the table, she gets up little parties and excursions that she thinks her husband Will enjoy, but nothing brings him back. What a man has tired of will never attract him again. When & woman is continually sick, this day with a headache, the next perhaps with a pain in her side—when there is always some ailment that unfits her for her duties, when she is Irritated and nervous and blue —swhen a woman gets in this condition she may be sure there is some- thing wrong with her generative organs, that she has some one of those feminine troubles which seemingly amount to so lttle, but eventually make life almost unbearable. It is useless and foolish for a woman to walt until these troubles bring constant pain, until nervousness and irritability have estranged all her friends. The time to take them in hand is when they begin, when the only signs are a few mutterings of pain at the monthly pericd, nervousness and weariness. If she does this she will bring happi- 1o herself and all those about her, and she will not tire her husband her continual complaints, many of which seem to him visionary. If woman as soon as she feels ilke complaining, as soon as she feels ¢ she hardly knows from what, will take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable pound, she can be sure she will be cured. The mysterious aches and s that women have so often are always the result of some uterine trou- Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound gets at the root of these troubles and cures them. All the backache and headaches, all the feeling f exhaustion that make the day’s work seem unbearable, by this medicine. When a woman feels as though she simply cannot dress, e daily bath becomes a hardship, when it s an éffort to be pleasant exercise those little arts to please that our sex understand so well, woman take warning. It js the natural thing for a woman to make 1f attractive and charming. When she is strqng and healthy she does involuntarily as she breathes; when she doesn’t do it she is sick. then write to Mrs. Pinkhamn, Lynn. Mass.,, for advicé, and take Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. CUTTA PERCHA |LESE MAJESTE WILL BE SCARCE!

GOSSIP FROM LONDON WORLD OF LETTERS Comparative quietness still reigns In and around publishing land. I¢ little fiction is coming out Messrs. Elkin & Mathews are to put on the mar- ket a guide to the historical branch of fiction. It has been prepared by J. Nield, and is the result of much careful inquiry and patient work. The author has aimed at producing a book which may be useful in at least three ways. First, it will meet the demand which is being made with in- creasing force by parents and education~ ists, by giving a descriptive list of some eight hundred historical romances sug- gestive of a course of reading for boys and girls. Second, the guide will be of service to all lovers of romantic literaturs. Third, it may hope in some measure to lessen the labors of librarians and book- sellers. Max Pemberton's new story, “I.Crown Thee King,” will be published by Messrs, Methuen during the spring, and “The House Under the Sea,” now appearing in the Strand Magazine, will be published in the autumn. After that will come “The Gold Wolf,” a powerful, realistic study of an ultra-modern millionalire. Pemberton’s output.is not excessive. As a rule he writes two stories, each of about eighty thousand words, every year. He has a very individual way of writing his movels. First he writes out the story him- self, using many contractions and abbre- viations. This manuscript he reads to his typist, who leaves very wide margins be. tween the lines for transcription.
