THE AUBUS. TUTJH S DAY. JUNE 27 1901, U fin MOBlfoGDGDlI (BuuE School days are danger days for American girl3. Often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to re cover the lost vitality. Sometimes it is never recovered. Perhaps she is not over-careful about keeping her feet dry ; through carelessness in this respect the monthly sick ness is usually rendered very severe. Then begin ailments -which should be removed at once, or they will produce constant suffering. Headache, faint ness, slight vertigo, pains in the back and loins, irregularity, loss of sleep and appetite, a tendency to avoid the society of others are symptoms all indicating that woman's arch-enemy is at hand. This need not be so if mothers would have a thought for the physical condition of their daughters, and see to it that they have proper assistance. LiVdla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has helped many a young .cprl over this critical period. With it they have gone through their trials with courage and safety. With its proper use the young girl is safe from the peculiar dangers of school years and prepared for hearty womanhood.

H err aire of (irrra Lady of the Garter The Girl Who Kama Her Living;. Mrs. Otto II. Matz, who has succeeded Mrs. Arthur Kdwards as president of tho Chicago Woman's club, is one of the most thoroughly respected women in Chicago. She is the wife of Otto II. Matz, the architect, and has nlway been prominent in educational, club and musical circles. She Is an accoui pllKhed musician and absolutely devot ed to her art. I-'or nearly 13 years she Las been closely identified with the prominent charities of the city, alway Saving of her time, and strength to va Mi:S. OTTO II. MATZ. rlous philanthropic schemes. The big charity ball, which season after seasou was such an important social and phil authropic a Hair, drew forth rome of her best efforts. Indeed, to her was accredited much of the success regular ly attained by that function. A hlle a zealous worker lu the club Mch has so signally honored her and with which she lias closely allied herself for nearly 13 years, she has never entered Into Its iolitlcal side. The otilce of tho presidency, therefore, comes to her a3 a distinct honor worthily bestowed. Tbe i:vl!a of Tea Drinking. Lady Jeune has been taking up the tea drinking question and has written with some warmth upou the habit of excessive tea drinking on the part of young women In domestic service, a habit which she believes to be increas ing. "I have no hesitation In saying that It Is the constant driukiiig of strong tea which makes the women of our tolliug masses delicate and their children an;e- mlc, for not only do these latter inherit that weakuess from their mothers, but become even jrreater sinners in tlds di rection than their parents. Nothing." she continues, "has more seriously In jured the health of women of the work ing classes than the cheapening of tea." The habit of drinking stewed" tea is in the highest degree deplorable, for it Is well known that it is the tannin in tea which is injurious, and this nat urally is extracted in a very strong de cree when the teapot is allowed to re main on the stove for an hour or more. Then, when cups of this obnoxious beverage are drunk promiscuously-, sup posedly to refresh the tired system and give one a "nllip up" then Is the harm done. In reality one Is pouring so much poison into the system and utter ly destroying the nerves. Lady Jeune's timely warning ought not to fall uikui deaf ears. "In every well ordered household," she says, "the quantity of ea per head Is regulated, and if that amount were adhered to the mischief would be lessened." There Is nothing like a rigid adherence to laws of limit lu cases where there Is a tendency to overrun judicious quantities. Cocoa," continues Lady Jeune, "Is not only harmless, but nourishing and can always be kept ready. The evil Is, perhaps, even greater in the kitchen than in other departments of the house owing to the heat in which cooks and 6cullery maids have to work." A bright pupil in the Girls' High school in Twelfth street, New York, was Instructed to write for the edifica tion of her class in English a brief es say on the approaching picnic seasou. She was evidently not partial to pic nics, for here Is what she wrote: May parties will soon be ripe, and the June walk seasou will follow hard upon. The difference between a May party and a June walk is a simple mat ter of chronology. Eai has Its queen of brief authority and its chaperon of absolute sway. Each has also Its ham per, which is as deadly an enemy to the Manhattan populace as the frying pan to the Kansas farmhand. I took an Inventory of one of these hampers last sear, and, as I was a member of the physiology class at the time. It startled me out of a season's growth. "When the hamper was opened, tho chaperon drew forth one bag of sand-' wlches and one pie; one bottle of , pickles, one pie; one sponge cake, one pie; one roast chicken, one pie; one bot tle of lemon juice, one pic; one bag of awiorted cookies, one pie; one dozen doughnuts, one pie; one package of bis cuits and one pie. This was all. except that there were a few extra pies In tho bottom for the purpose, I suppose, of forestalling famine. "Tho chaperon wondered after lunch eon why the girls and boys didn't enter luto their play with as much zest aa they did when they first arrived at the park. I didn't. I was studying natu ral history, at the time, and only, a few. r MM Hays before a lucid j explanation had been given as to why the boa constrict or takes a month's nop after dining on far more digestible fdod than anything I saw In Central park that day." i Ladlea. Beware) of Germs. Now it is the street tar strap that is loaded with deadly gVrms. The latest tale of -microbe woe tomes from a wo man who to protect a fresh pair of white gloves put her handkerchief over the strap while going to the theater a short time ago. On her way home she was again compelled to stand, and once more the handkerchief came between her glove aud the leath er. Whether it was after that or during the evening at the theater that 6he once thoughtlessly iut the handker chief to her face is a letail that 6he does not recall, but two days after ward a pain on her lips became so in tolerable that she was compelled to see a doctor, who found her suffering from Incipient blood poisoning, which it was already too late for nun to prevent. Ihe most that he could do was to watch her carefully through a long at tack of Illness, which at one time threatened to end fatally. He attributed this to some poisonous substance which had passed to her handkerchief from the strap, and thac was his diagnosis the moment he heard the story of the ride on the trolley car. She fortunately recovered, and her phy sicians think that the present disfigure inent to her face which resulted from the necessity of an operation will hot be permanent. The case has convinced this phvsician, who Is a man of con siderable experience In sr.rgery. of the dancers that lurk in tlie street car strap. Chicago News. Lady of the Carter. The king Is everywhere placing be side him in his public acts the gracious lady who Is the partner of his throne. The innovation of creating her majesty a "Lady of the Garter" Is. In fact, only a return to original precedent, for at the first creation of the order there were lady members. In the little church of Ewelme, Oxfordshire, may be seen to this day the memorial statue of one of the noble ladies who was an original "lady unignt, and wnen ner late majesty ascended the throne aud became thereby sovereign of the most noble order a special messenger was sent to Ewelme to find out where the emblematical "garter" was worn on that effigy. It was found to be placed on the left arm above the elbow, and there Queen Victoria accordingly wore the strap of gold embroidered blue tis sue with its buckle and loosely falling end pendent therefrom. It can be 6een distinctly in a portrait by Winter halter painted iu 1S13. The garter is buckled on midway between shoulder and elbow round a short, white satin sleeve puff and half concealed by a lace bertha that passes round the shoul ders. Her late majesty, however, nev er appointed any other "lady," and she held her own position by hereditary right as tho relguing sovereign, so the inclusion of Queen Alexandra by the king is an Interesting return to ancient precedent. Loudon Illustrated News. Girl Wbo Kami Her I.IsIok. In the sudden changes of fortune which have come to our business world during tho last few decades many of our youug girls, utterly uupiepared, have often found themselves obliged to earn a livelihood not only for them selves, but for aged parents who have broken down under the strain of striv- ng against circumstances or else per haps for a tribe of little brothers aud sisters whom death has left without support. Wheu such a girl cries. "What shall do?" there Is a stereotyped reply to e made "Do whatever comes to hand. no matter what, so long as it is honora ble, aud educate yourself for something better" for In a greater number of cases than could possibly be believed by one who did not know the aspirant : for a business career lacks the ordina ry education and perception which are a necessity for advancement In the busi ness world. It is perhaps trite to say that tho last decade of the nineteenth century shows an advance entirely out of projortion to that of any previous ten years, because it Is a self evident fact to all thinking minds. ISut itls sometimes good for one to have a self evident fact borne In upon one's con sciousness, since one Is apt to grow careless In observing the significance f everyday things. Tbe Spoon Collecting- Pad. I don't object to fads on principle,' said tho proprietor of a fashionable Broadway restaurant to a reporter for th e New York Times the other day. but there is one in vogue now that 1 would like to see run Its course and elve wav to one which respects the rights of property. The young women of this town have a craze for collecting restaurant spoons. They don't care for them at all, however, unless they bear the murk of the house from which they were filched. No. they don't take them heinselves. The average younj wom an, an reports to tlie contrary noiwuu- standing, is timid when in a public din ing room. They, simply intimate to their gentlemen acquaintances that they appreciate such things, and the men they do the rest. "I can't say how many I have lost from good customers whom I couldn't call down even If I were to catch them red har 3ed. The customer of a place like this Is likely to be worth several hundred dollars In tho course of a year, and a few spoons more or less would not cut down our profits to any large extent, but the practice Is annoying, and for that reason more than any oth er I would like to see it abandoned."

Although one might naturally won der why Eve's fair daughters would ever care to wear a serpent, still they do, and at the jewelers' the reptile of graceful sinuosity Ij one of the most approved motifs of ornamentation. The old time snake bracelet has come into style again and Is exhibited as the very latest novelty for the adornment of milady's fair arm. These new bracelets of shimmering lengths of gold are exquisitely beauti ful in the simulation of the snake's ealy surface and in their graceful flexibility. A glittering jewel forms the eye of the serpent a diamond, emerald, ruby or sapphire. These b icelets can be worn coiled around mJanie's arm or clasping her neck or as a girdle encircling her waist. One of the most superb novel ties in up to date belt beauty is golden seriH?nt with jewel eye, which coils its glittering length around the waist, its head pointing downward in the front, giving the long waisted ef fect fashion now decrees. Bnb 'a Crib and Deddlno:. The best crib for a baby is not swinging bascinet or any swinging or rocking cradle, but a crib of liberal size which stands firmly on its legs and is large enough for the child uutil it is old enough to sleep in a regular bed. The pillow of the baby's bed should be a flat oue, of hair, not over two Inch es thick. The best bod coverings for a baby are sheets or cambric or linen in summer aud soft blankets of pure Californian wool, which are as warm aDd light as down and are much more wholesome, in winter. The coverlet or the baby s bed may be of any dainty hued wash silk. This covering will protect the blankets as well as a heavier counterpane of cot ton. It is important that this outside coverlet as well as the other belongings of the crib should be washable and something that will not be injured by frequent sunning and airing. Ameri can Mother.

Prepare Flower Beda "With Great Care. It Is Important that the soil of one's flower beds should be properly prepar ed for the reception of seeds. It should be worked over until it is fine and mel low and made rich enough to support a strong ond vigorous growth of what ever is sown in It. Keep turning and stirring It until It is as fine and mellow as it is possible to make It. Incorpo rate the fertilizer used with It thor oughly. Manures not well worked Into the soil are likely to bring about a "spotty" development which Is far from satisfactory. Eben E. Rexford in Ladies' Llome Journal. Look at your nails, and If they are blue your heart is rather weak and you ought not to run up stairs or go for a cycle ride. If on a calm day you want to know in what direction the slightest current of air Is moving, wet your finger and hold it up.
