Is an annual event atp> Is always one
of the most Interesting afternoons on

the club year. Edward V. Valentine,
one of the most distinguished men "f
to-day and whoso work as a sculptor

affection of his own people us well
as the artistic world outside, was
speaker for the afternoon. There was
a large gathering of members 'h the
club parlors yesterday, and Mr. Vulen- I
tin" whs v ry enthusiastically received
by his audience.
lie gave a charming dissertation
known a? "P.. mirilsccrices of Rich
mond," and very humorous and happily
chosen they proved to be. The speakei
unfolded In a series of vivid word
pictures a goodly company of dis?
tinguished people In concert and on
ll|c statte, royal visitors and authors,
Play? und player-folk that had charm
e(j the people not so runny years auo
in this town. Most of them were In?
timate friends ami dearly-loved com?
panions of Mr. Valentine, ami his
anecdotes of the (fitted men ami \v
Ulen who had graced the society lind
civilization of a day but recently past
and charming little bits about the
kinK- and queens of the drama were
very Interesting and pleasing.
In that day and lime the f: .ihlooablc
promenade was along the canal bank
and the most popular plate of amuse?
ment was on the site of the Byrd
Street station. Some of the pictures
were touched with pathos and many
wc re gay with the bright faces and
happy hearts that lived and love<j anJ
made merry at that time, and all were
full of humor and a gentle subtleness
that was wholly pleasing and very;
charming in a speaker.
Mr. Valentine concluded his lecture
with several laughable studio ex?
periences with undiscovered artists and
people unknown to fame through no
la.-k of their own merit It was a j
very happy afternoon.
The club parlors were decorated
with vases of red and while flowers,
and the hostesses tor the afternoon

" I suffered with terrible pains in my j

I had a sallow complexion and my face |

doctor treated me, but he only gave mc
temporary relief.
1 was certainly in bad health, and suf- I
lered greatly with womanly troubles. My
school teacher advised me to take Cardut,
and I began to take it at once.
I took two bottles in all and was ciwc-i.
My sister-in-law also used your remedy
and was greatly benefited;
I feel it my duty to recommend Cardui.
and I shall always praise the medicine to
sick and suffering women."
No sick or ailing woman can fail to be
interested in the experience of others
similarly afflicted.
If you are weak, tired, worn-out, or'
suffer from any of the pains peculiar toj
weak women, such as headache, back?
ache or other symptoms of womanly
trouble, you arc urged to try Cardtti, the
woman's tonic.
Thousands of sick and suffering women
have regained their health by taking Car?

Health and Beauty Advice
By MRS. MAE MARTYN
Ada T.: Avoid all complexion o,reams
which contain oil, as they make tho
skin shiny and causo hair to grow on
tho face. By stirring two teaspoontllls
glycerine and one ounce almozoln Into
one-half pint cold water, you have a
matchless cream-Jelly for clearing, soft?
ening and whitening tho skin. It Is
unsurpassed for cloanlng tho complex
Ion and making- It smooth and youthful
looking. Use this morning and night,
and you need have no worry about the
way your face will look.
Mrs. P. B.: Weight reduction Is a ver?
simple, matter. These old-fashioned
theories of violent exercises and starv?
ation are all nonsense, and at the best
furnish only temporary reliof. To dike
off fat, use this remedy: Dissolve four
ounces of parnotls in one and one-half
pints hot water and take a tiihl!>spoon
ful before meals. This simple, harm?
less remedy works wonders where
many of the "sure cures" fail. It leaves
the skin smooth and llrm.
W. A. B.: Only hoalthy scalps produce
beautiful, abundant hair. You must
keep your scalp clean by shampooing
as often as necessnry. The following
tonic will prove an unfailing remedy
for dandruff. Itching senlp ami falling
nalr: Stir one ounce of quinzoln into
one-half pint alcohol; then add one
half pint cold water. Rub this tonic
into tho scalp about twice it week. It
will do wond.T.s for your diseased scalp
and mako your thin, straggly hair
thick, long and beautiful.
nislo S.: That sickly look you have,
besides your loss of energy and run?
down condition, are due to a sluggish.
Impure blood. Incident to the winter
months. This Is very common, but Is
easily overcome by taking before m>als
a tnblespoouftil of this simple system
tonic: In one-half pint alcohol dis?
solve one ounce kardeno, adding one
half cup sugar and hot water to make
a quart, This Is o wonderful Mood
purifier and strength-restoring tonic.
There Is nothing like It for giving one
rich, rod blood, energy and good health,
Belle: The reason your hair looks so
dull and faded and Is so hard to ar?
range is that you have made the usual
mistake of shampooing with soap. \ny
woman who IIS3S soap shampoos cannot
expect to have beautiful hair. II may
clean the hair, hut doos not remove the
nore-dlrt from the hair roots. Your
hair heroines stringy and unmanage?
able in a few days anil you wonder
why. Del soap shampoos uloue und
use a tchspoonful of canthrox dissolved
In a cup of hot water for your sham?
poo. If you want your hair to dry even?
ly and quickly without streaking'. Can
throx makes the hair very fluffy and
bright, and gives to tho scalp a fooling
of pleasing freshness. You will not
catch cold If you shampoo with caiv
throx, and will find It makes your hair
look so very nice.
Dora: Long, silken, curly eyelashes
greatly set off beautiful eyes, and by
applying pyroxln' to losh roots with the
thumb and forefinger, short, thin lanhen
will grow thick nnd curly. For thin
eyt'hrows, apply pyroxln with fingor
tips and they will grow In thick and
silky. No harm results from using:
pyroxln. hut he careful not to got any
wlisre no hair Is warned. You may
have to pay your druggist a dollar for
an original package of pyi-oxln, but it >
Is cheap oven at that price.
J.M.S.: Cutting tho hairs only makos
them come in heavier. Got an original
package of dolatono and with a little
of tho powder mix enough watir to
form a paste. Put this on the hairy
surface ami after two or three minutes
rub Oft, wash the skin, and every trace
of hair will have vanished. Druggists
charge a dollar an ounce for delutoae,
but it never fullj to do the work.
Mrs. V. (?.: Tho woman who use? faeo
powder not only is behind the times,
but does herself a personal Injury.
Fnco powdor 1? only a mockery lo
beauty, as It clogs the skin pores, caus?
ing wrinkles and other complexion ills.
To have a perfect complexion, use a
good lotion, 3iieh a5 t-ho following:
Dissolve four ounces of spurmax in
one-half pint witch hazel (or'iot wntcri,
adding two teaspoon tills glycerine.
This lotion gives the skin a decidedly
refined look of velvety smoothness. It
removes th^ shine, immediately cor?
rects sallow, freckled complexions, and
does not come 01T in the wind like
powder does or rub otT easily when a.
voll Is worn. This lotion Is a splendid
beautlfler and skin whitener.
S. D.: Yes, no factor is morn impor?
tant in a beautiful face tha.n bright,
clear, youthful eyes. Yon should use a.
good eye tonic. Cot an ounce of crys
los, dissolve it in a pint of water, ami
use two or three drops in each eye
dally. It will clear and strengthen
your eyes, remove all slpns Of weak?
ness and Inflammation, and make them
bright and sparkling. For weak, dull,
expressionless eyes, I think tiii- ton'o
simply wonderful. It Is very soothing,
and is tlnu for those who wear glosses.
What is more beautiful
than the American Beauty,
the Klllarney,
or the Richmond Rose ?
Our greenhouses at this time are teeming with these. Come
to our store and see them. You'll order.
