Pains That Never Came ' Here’s glorious news lor long-suf-fering womankind.' To every woman who periodically has suffered pain. Menstruation need no longer be painful. And it is Science that is speaking! Specialists have developed a tiny tablet called midol. It’s a simple thing, utterly harmless to a girl of fourteen, but it brings relief in five to seven minutes. And Is effective twelve hours or longer! Midol is NOT a narcotic. It has no effect whatever on heart or nervous system. It acts directly on those organs affected by menstruation. They function normally, as they should, but the pain Is banished. Complete relief—yes, perfect comfort—follows midoL Your druggist has mldol for 40 cents, in a Cirri aluminum box to tuck in your puree. Mv&oV Takes Pain Off the Calendar

The WOMAN’S . DAY Tty Alleno Sumner*”

YES, IGNORANCE IS BLISS A woman who claims to have visited tho entire world many times over, giving especial study to women and wives everywhere, reports that American wives have more freedom than any other wives, and yet are the most discontented. She speaks of domestic bliss in regions of earth where wives are not pampered. petted and given the liberties they are here. Her argument is that freedom is still a novelty to women, and they don’t know how to use it. My own interpretation has it that the wife with freedom is the wife with intelligence, and intelligence rarely walks as close with happiness as does the woman not overburdened with intelligence. ANCEDOTE OF GRACIOUS MELBA Once upon a time, story has it, Dame Nellie Melba, contralto, who has retired from the concert stage, was crossing the Atlantic. She was to sing at a ship’s concert and went with an officer down into the hold to get some music from her baggage. A hydrant was found open which had been gushing for hours right into all the Dame Melba’s baggage. Her famous opal dress was nothing but a wisp of sodden tissue, and the opals were loose in the bottom of the trunk. Charles T. Spedding, famous purser of this particular vessel which had carried its share of the world’s celebrities, and who has now written his "Reminiscences of Transatlantic Travelers,” reports that Melba simply said, "I hope no one gets into trouble over this. No one shall hear of It from me.” j> * * I was thinking of Melba this noon at lunch when the shrew at my table noarly broke a blood-vessel in upbraiding the scared little waitress who spilled a glass of water on the table. A Melba says "It doesn’t matter.” A nobody shrieks to the almighty heaven to bear witness how she is abused and insulted! COSMOPOLITAN _ / COOKERY Here’s an Idea for the woman’s club which yearns to raise some money in a way more novel than a BUT—HE "FELT NO BETTER FOR THAT” A man from Nebraska tells this: "For three nights I was kept awake by a bothersome persistent cough, and so were others of the family; and I felt no better for that. The very first doses of Foley’s Honey and Tar relieved me and In two days’ time my cough was entirely gone.” Think of the saving of distress to himself and others, had he taken Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound at the start. It pays to keep it on hand. The large family size is a real economical buy. Ask for It. Sold everywhere.—Advertisement. In the Days of Our Forefathers When America was young, the wise pioneer women learned to gather, In woods and fields, the remedies the Indians ued. From the rafters of colonial houses hung great bunches of dried roots and herbs From these, in times of sickness, the busy mother brewed remedies for her family. From roots and herbs, Lydia E. pinkham, a descendant of these sturdy pioneers, made her Vegetable Compound. For more than half a century ibis dependable medicine has been taken by women with very satisfactory results. If it has helped other women, why shouldn’t it help you ?—Advertlsemex.t.

No matter how pretty It is, look at the pelt side. If you can possibly manage it, have the lining ripped a little so that you can get at the pelts. Beware of brittle, stiff hide and rejoice if It feels and flexible. Your argument that even If you are spending more than you should for your coat, you can wear it five years is not necessarily a good one. Some fur coats do not wear us long as some cloth coats. PILGRIMS NEVER , TASTED THIS Want to make some Christmas candy which Is a little different? Try “Cherry Foam.’’ One and one-half cups sugar, 2 tablespoons corn syrup, pinch salt, 1 egg white, 1-3 cup water, 1-2 cup candied cherries, 1-2 teaspoor* almond extract. Cook sugar ' syrup, salt and water to boiling point. Pour slowly onto stiffly beaten egg white, beating all the time. Add chopped cherries and flavoring and beat until it can be dropped in spoonfuls upon waxed paper. Put a piece of cherry atop each piece of candy. PUZZLE—FIND THE CULPRIT It’s girls who aro to blame for petting, according to the male student body of a large university. Answering a questionnaire on this weighty subject of necking, the _J>oys said they petted because the girls expected them to. Silly as this is, it is no sillier than the old argument so much in vogue to the effect that girls pet because the boys demanded it, and they couldn’t have dates if they didn’t. .. For proof, consult any Bee Fairfax or Cynthia Gray. Our observation ip this petting business has been that both sides of the fray have been quite willing to indulge.

MENUS For the FAMILY ■ - By Sister MaJ j

BREAKFAST—Stewed figs with orange slices, cereal, thin cream, toast, buckwheat cakes, sausage, milk, coffee. LUNCHEON —Mushrooms in tomato sauce on toast, celery hearts, Brown Betty, milk. tea. DINNER —Noodle soup, pan broiled pork chops, twice baked sweet potatoes, corn custard, stuffed prune salad, brand rolls, lemon sponge pie, milk, coffee. The luncheon dish of mushrooms on toast is worth keeping in mind for chafing dish use during the Christmast holidays. It will prove quite as popular as Welsh rarebit and is much easier to make. And remember if you have no chafing dish, it’s quite as good made and served from the kitchen. Mushrooms in Tomato Sauce One-half pound mushrooms, 1 cup grated cheese. 2 cups canned tomatoes, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon minced parsley, 1-2 teaspoon onion juice. Clean and peel mushrooms. Break In small pieces. Melt butter In sauce pan and simmer mushrooms for five minutes. Rub tomatoes through a colander to remove seeds. Add tomatoes and cheese to mushrooms and heat until cheese is melted. Season with salt, parsley and onion Juice and add eggs well beaten. Stir and cook over a low fire until mixture thickens. Serve on squares of hot toast. (Copyright, 1926. NEA Service. Inc.)

ginia.

It seems that Senator Elkins haa been married for some seven months to a young actress whom he met in Washington, Miss Mary Reagan. Mother Elkins, who maintains a home on K St., here, announced the marriage on Thanksgiving day, but refused to say whether or not she had met the new Mrs. Elkina. She said that Senator Elkins and his bride were living in New York. A few fortunates among Washington society folk were In Chicago to witness the Army-Navy game. These include Vice President Dawes, General Pershing, the secretary of labor, Mrs. Davis and small son, Jimmy; secretary of war and Mrs. Dwight Davis, and several members of the little cabinet —assistant secretaries and thoir wives. Five, count ’em, five turkeys were contributed to the White House for a Thanksgiving feast. The one which was roasted for dinner weighed twenty-four pounds. The only guests
