WHAT DOCTOR PIERCE HAS DONE FOR HUMANITY! BT DOCTOR CRIPPS It has always seemed to me that Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., should be placed near the top when a list of America’s great benefactors is written. He studied and conquered human diseases to a degree that few realize. Whenever he found a remedy that overcame disease, he at once announced it in the newspapers and told where it could be bought at a small price. He did not follow the usual custom of keeping the ingredients secret, so that the rich only could afford to buy. Savanna, DI.—“I found the greatest satisfaction in taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It os an excellent medicine to give a woman —9 strength. I ha V e gaptaken the Trjscription’ during expec- 1 fancy and afterwards I MT when 1 was rundown and weak, in both cases //A proved very cial.

PAULA THE POET.

By DOROTHY DOUGLAS.

(©, HIO. by McClure N«w»p*p«r Syndicate.) -r Paula was curled up on the wide couch by the window, scratching oddments of inspired thought. Beth, most understanding, capable, moodless a ehum that an erratic poet ever had, was busy preparing a dainty and nourishing evening meat Paula was a girl of brilliant Intellect, wonderful in poetic fancy but utterly and completely lacking in the domestic virtues. She could no more have cooked the little meat loaf and biscuits that were scenting the apartment than she could have put out to sea tn the R-34. Her taste *n clothes was simply a wish to cover herself decently, and her hair was long and natural and wound about her head in the particular way that it happened to go. And she wore ordinary boots; not sandals. - — But PauW could write, poetry. * Beth possessed all the artistic tastes that go to produce a perfect type of temperamental poet. Her hair was tarnished and most becomingly bobbed. Her orange and black smocks were ppems of batik art and often while entertaining at tea she wore an adorable Chinese mandarin, from which her little feet peeped out from, the wide trousers—like captive butterflies. There was always incense burning when Beth was around. r

.But Beth could cook, make wonderfiil clothes, entertain with great success, and she was a delighful bit of the feminine world to have about the house. - Beth could not, however, have written a poem any more than she could hate put together the parts of their Joint flivver. “Here’s another man person wanting to. meet the poet,'Paul a,”. calledBeth as the postman left his warps at the door. “He has been reading your verse for two years and is coming from the middle West Just in the hope that you will give him the pleasure, etc., etc.,” Beth finished off with a laugh. “Oh—to have some__great Western cowboy consumed with passion for me—Just once.” Paula, too, laughed from her nest of brilliant-hued cushions that Beth had made, but her laugh was a trifle impatient. “I Just can’t be bothered meetlngall these perfectly strange people-all the time. You’ve nq idea what a muff I feel listening to their ravings I have absolutely nothing to say to them, and my poor brain struggles for conversational niceties and I very nearly pass out in the attempt.”

“That’s what you get for being a genius,” said the unfeeling Beth. “The penalty for writing boiling, scorching love effusions which you no more feel than I do is to have to let all the' strange men_Jn the world come and gaze into your soulless eyes.” “You have all the soul and scorching emotions for both of us,” laughed Paula. “If we each bad temperament and moods, then, honey, we couldn’t live together so happily.” She jumped up and just as Beth was about to take her hot biscuits from the oven Paula swept her into an encircling arm. “You’re a little duck,” she said affectionately, “and I . wish just for once you would meet this Western cowboy as Paula. When Beth had rescued the biscuits she turned questioning eyes on Paula, “If you really mean It—it would be a bit of a lark. I have all the earmarks of a poet—nuttiest of nuts.” So it happened that the two girls exchanged identities, and never were two more alluring personalities transferred for the mere sake of joggling the credulity of q Western cowboy.

And the heart of the Western cowboy, who went by the name of John Rylance, was' most assuredly rampant when he found two delightful girls waiting to receive him at tea. The small apartment was curiously homelike. Rylance felt decidedly at home even before he was directed by Beth toward the great cushioned chair in the sunny window; Paula had met the big ranchman with her bdbltual calm exterior, but within her brilliant brain there was an instant desire to write a splendid poem. She effaced herself behind a ‘wall of concentrated .thought that left Beth a free hand to weave her net about their visitor. Rylance realized that his Interest was straying from time to time from the animated Beth to the strtmgely magnetic personality of Paula. It was true he had come from the West to meet the poet who had set his heart to singing by the mere printed wprds of her “Songs In Exile,”-yet now as he sat looking into tier piquant llttje face with its frame of bobbed hair he felt more definitely the lure of the other girl. • And yet this girl who had been introduced as Paula Raymond was the exact duplicate in appearance *bf the type he had expected. There was the stamp of Greenwich village on her and the undoubted charm of character. That which was lacking. Bylance could not define. H€ knew that while he. talked with her he was constantly tonging to probe the mind of the quiet. Irrespective, apparently disinterested I girl whom he bad met as Beth Goody r«.

his soul and the soul of Paula the Poet had found something that had made a meeting of the physical beings necessary. It had been the lure of Paula’s soul that had dragged him all the long way from the West, and now be was struggling against a vague regret that he had come. v 'lnto the mind of Rylance-came a short verse of Paula’s that had always more or less puzzled him as to her exact meaning. The words of the verse could be taken as the reader chose, bur somehow Rylance felt a keen desire to know the poet’s own meaning. He was curious to know if she would enlighten him or whether the poem had entirely drifted -from her mind with the flow of others. “Miss Raymond,” be said, looking at the girl whom he supposed Paula, "I wonder if you would mind very much giving me your own real interpretation of these four lines?”. He took the little worn volume from tils pocket and read from It one of Paula’s own favorite bits. When he had finished he looked expectantly at the girt lil the orapge smock. Would her eyes kindle with the fire of genius—the insplratlop' that had flung those words from 1 her pen—or would they remain birdlike and alert? Rylance drejv a laggard breath. The eyes utterly and completely blank. Then he remembered that undoubtedly poets forgot many of their Own inspired words as soon as they were transferred to paper. He was, however, disappointed. More and more he regretted having risked losing the* Ideals he had formed of Paula Raymond through her verses. He wished he had remained in his dream of her out in the broad West. Then some strange impelling force dragged his eyes to those of the quiet Beth and, as if she had been flung before him in painted letters, he knew the truth.

Her eyes were alight and her cheeks were soft flames while now from her Ups came forth a "flood of exquisite words like the rushing torrent of an impatient brook. An explanation, wonderful, deep with thought, and put forth with such brilliant understanding as to make the soul of Rylance glow within him, came from that other soul —the soul that Rylance had loved. Beth had been making frantic efforts to stop the flow of words .from Paula’s Ups. Her. alert eyes "find caught tlie knowing expression in the -Westerner’s quiet smile, and somehow she felt a keen relief. “You are fortunate In your friendship, Ry lance said with a look in his eyes, “there are not many chums who could so get under the mind of the other and In fact sense the poetic thought of another so truly and express it so magnificently.” Paula had the added grace to blush and Beth Jumped up suddenly, bent on brewing a cup of tea. Having beaten her retreat, she wondered what method Paula would take to extricate herself from the false position they had assumed. Paula was not troubled about having given away'her identity, but she felt , a bit startled at .the new emotions within her that she knew were not destined to spend themselves on the mere writing of verse. Then Beth, from the little kitchenette, heard Rylance speaking. “You couldn’t have hidden your soul long from me, Paula Raymond. I have loved it too well for It to escape me under a camouflage.” Beth couldn’t hear Paula’s answer,_ but it must have been satisfactory, for when she returned with a dainty tea tray there was an atmqgphere of happiness that prompted h'er thoughts to stray toward orange blossoms and wedding and a tiny flat.

' ' ”■ — I The American woman, according to a New York doctor, Is the loveliest woman in the world, and he is beginning a "drive” to keep her so. He rails against the habits and customs of New York women, and declares they are ruining their intellects and their health by trying to keep young and beautiful the wrong way. Flesh is a menace to longevity, and the woman over thirty should be careful of her diet, and take plenty of exercise. She should eat very little meat, plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit, and she should never smoke a Cigarette! The man of the hour in New York is the eyebrow specialist, who can change a woman from a beetle-browed beauty to a beauty’with eyebrows that are just .a slender curved line. That man does nothing but alter the shape, of women’s eyebrows, and he makes' a good living at it He has long, delicate, white fingers and a little pair of silver tweezers. With these ,he tweaks out hair after hair until only a little group where the brow starts are left. Then he puts on some healing cream to ease the Irritation of the tweaking, and finally, when you and- your brows have recovered, he takes a slender camel.’s-halr brush and paints a narroy curved Une where

Bright Frocks for Gay Times

ripHE sweet young person so evldentX ly pleased with things in general and her party frock in particular, as 'shown in the picture ahove, has very good-reason to be satisfied. You wll.l notice that nothing less beautiful and impressive than georgette crepe has been used for this important dress, in which she may attend a June bride as flower girl or be dressed up for any other great occasion. These models in georgette may be made in organdy, net, or other sheer materials, plain or figured, and will be pretty in any of them, but georgette leads Just a little in the adorable procession of almost transparent goods. Both the pretty frocks pictured have short sleeves, round neck, straight skirt and frills of the georgette, and each has a gathered waist, a little short, and narrow ribbon for a girdle, finished with bows having loops and ends of about the same length. In the dress at the left, this bow is placed directly in front and the skirt

Clever New Ideas in Blouses

INGENIOUS designing, more than anything else, Is the distinguishing characteristic of the last ' arrivals among spring and summer blouses. They" are about equally divided between two styles—those that terminate at the waist line and those that are lengthened to cover a part of the skirt. In the ranks of the first there are nearly all of those, ting, lingerie blouses, of voile and sheer batiste, that are hand-made and thus placed among the aristocrats of their kind. TSey-. are dainty and modest with drawn work, hand-run tucks, hemstitching and other needle work to embellish them. Collars are conspicuous and cleverly managed in them but there are a few collarless models that button in the back. Narrow ties of black ribbon often give them a tailored flavor. Two blouses of georgette, one with a short peplum, front and back, with side portions laid in plaits over the hips, and one without a peplum, invite comparison in the picture. In the peplum blouse the seams are piped with satin and the neck and sleeves bound with it Besides its unusual construction, the decoration Is managed fa a new way. Eyelets worked at the center of circular motif, done with embroidery silk, allow narrow ribbon to be threaded through them. The ribbons end In long loops, each having > jet pendant strung on it This is entirely new. It serves also to make a pretty touch for the flaring ” long, full rieeve. with deep pointed flounce caught to the wrist

Is fuller than in the Diner frock. Its decoration is completed with four narrow flounces gathered with a little frill atthe top. Two similar flounces finish the sleeves. A' very narrow- and fine lace makes a pretty neck finish and a surplice drapery of georgette 4s caught to the waist with very small chiffon roses set on the shoulders and at. each side. In the other frock a narrower skirt has -three tucks above the hem and an apron drapery at the front, edged with 'a narrow flounce. A little chiffon rose is set on this drapery where it is trimmed to a point at each side. The waist has a short cape, plaited about the neck and scalloped at the lower edge, where a flounce is set on. Two rows of narrow ribbon, like that on the girdle, add a little gleam of satin to this soft drapery. Colored organdy Is a favored material for young girls’ party dresses, trimmed with tucks or with flounces of the same.

with a band of velvet ribbon, 18 the Ingenious detail that distinguishes the other blouse. It is ornamented with squares of French knots at the front Spring blouses include some sleeveless models to- be worn over underblouses. These are peplum styles that are open at the sides. There are also surplice blouses and those having vestees among the novelties to be con* sldered.

Spring Hats a Success.

The early spring hats produced by Paris milliners are obviously a success on- the Riviera, notes a fashion writer. Cellophane materials are rather heavy and hot looking for summer. In one form or another they resemble patent leather and jet bugles, both of which seem cumbersome for wear. However, the scarcity of ’straw braids will militate against the use of straw hats, and if-a fabric or composition is to be used, cellophane is the newest as well as the most unusual idea presented.

Novel Trimming.

Brass coins, real true Chinese or Japanese coins, in some instances, and other times coins madd specially for the purpose, are used to trim some of the new frocks and blouses. Often they are Set In a sort- of frame <4
