Around tho pool aro a number of dressing rooms, and In ono of theso two ladles pre pared themselves for a swim, ono going Into the water beforo the other had disrobed. As tho second lady was ubout to leave tho dress ing room s'ho discovered her companion's pocketbook lying on a bench and forthwith alio reproached her friend for hor careless ness. A Uttlo later the flrst lady went Into tho dressing room nnd lying by tho sldo of hor friend's clothes sho found a sack of dia monds, such ns rings, pins and brooches, whoroupon lu turn sho upbraided hor friend for u worso ploco of carelessness than tho affair of tho pocketbook. "But I havo no dia monds," eald tho first lady In astonishment, and almost nt onco thcro was a great huo and cry from a dressing room nt the further end of tho row, from which a woman soon mado her appearance, claiming to hr. r'o been robbed.

Al. three of tho ladles nro prominent and above suspicion, No ono entered cither of the rooms oxcopt their richtful occupants. No one else was at the pool. Neither could have entered n room without being seen by the others. And tho relation of this story brought out an even moro mysterious one. There had been tomo burglars lu town nnd ono night n prominent gentleman warned his wife that sho had better hide n very valuable diamond which alio owned. Acting on this advice, tho lady plnucd the diamond (o tho inner side of her nlghtrobo and went to LcJ. In the morn ing the diamond wns gone and since then no traca of It has been found. It wns Impos sible for burglars to have entered tho room without leaving n trace. Tho husband Is such a good man, so rich and so loud of his wlfo that ho cpunot bo connected with tho disappearance. Tho only possible solution Bccms to bo that tho woman, nervous over the fear of, burglars, had hidden tho Jewel, whllo In n stato of somnambulism, so care fully that It cannot bo found. Tho third Btory wna odd rather than mys terious. A woman had hung n diamond ring on n nail In her kitchen while engaged In somo household task. It disappeared and no amount of search availed to reveal Its whereabouts. Tho hired girl said Bho had burned up a lot of sweepings nnd the nshes from tho Btovo wero thoroughly Blfted.

Ouo lins to rend ti few of tho grntoftil letters from women to realize hoi strong nru tho bonds of pympatliy which unite Mrs. ritiklnim to ttic hertrts oV American women. Just think of it, Mrs. IMnklmm hits been steadily ndvlsltis women about their health day after day for twenty years. There Is siareely n hamlet ho remote that It tloes not contain ono or moro of her friends, and more and more in every walk of llfo the actual, real, permanent KnHl that Mrs. rinkham Is doln;; is belnj: understood. Her medicines aro used by all classes and conditions of women; lier advice is given to the humblest and tho richest without charge. There Is no guesswork about Mrs. rinkliam's advice, as It Is the result of her wldo experience. Xcarly every letter that comes to Mrs. I'lnkhani from women she has cured refers to her advice as "kindly," as "good," as "thorough," nud they prove how good It Is by going on to state that they have tried all other means within their reach and appealed to Mrs. I'lnkhani as a last resort. Is it any wonder that .Mrs. I'lnkhani lias a good name among such grateful hearts? Is it not surprising that so many women will still persist in trying to battlo with their Inllrniltles without her aid? Hut tho women who do this nre the women who do not understand, and seemingly cannot be made to understand how much better than any other way Is Mrs. l'lnkham's way. Tho movement she Is making for tho henlth of women Is n movement on a largo scale, l.ydla K. I'lnkliam's Vegetable compound has already cured more cases of female troubles than any other medicine In tho world. There can bo no doubt of tills; its uso Is wide-spread, tho help It brings unmistak able, tho women who aro cured by It become Instantly enthusiastic over its sterling worth. A glorious thing Indeed It Is to havo a name associated with so much health and happiness, to havo the absolute conlldeueo of such n multltudo of women. Success in curing ono woman, or ono thousand women, or one hun dred thousand women, acts merely as n spur to constantly Increased and greater efforts' for other women who need It. And there Is nothing so impor tant to the women of our country as the preservation of health which nlono will enable them to sustain tho responsibilities which aro being forced upon them In every way. lu every walk of life woman's duties aro becoming more arduous, her responsibilities aro multiplied, the working classes aro demand ing as necessary things today the very things which a few years ago wero lux uries and absolutely out of their reach. The sentiment of advancement carries with it nn enlarged Held for women. It Is perhaps because of the widening out of women's lives that tho develop ment of diseases of the feminine organism Is on the Increase; nt any rale, this is an Incontrovertible fact, and women uro being awakened to It. And so the Held of Mrs. rinkliam's work Is stentllly widening, and everywhere you go you see how thorough her work it. A woman is naturally timid about announcing herself as in need of Mrs. I'lnkhanrs medicine; this frequently prevents her making uso of Lydla H. I'lnkliam's Vegetable Compound until the nbsolute necessity for radical steps Is forced upon her. Thus It Is that In most cases, where Mrs. Pinkham's medicine is used, the woman who Is cured is doubly grateful because sho hud about lost hope. It Is then that' the generosity latent in every woman's heart prompts her to Join, In so far ns she reasonably can, In helping others on the way to health. Tho woman who Is well, who never had an ache or pain In her life, is so 'fortunate and so proud of her health that she tloes not understand the en thusiasm of the women who havo been cured by Mrs. I'lnkhani of serious ills. Hut there is a vast army of women who know how sympathetic, nnd kindly nnd clllclent is tho nld which Mrs. IMnkham gives to sulTerlng women, nnd it Is among theso women and their friends thnt Mrs. l'lnkham's namo stands built around with a wall of thankfulness. Tho women who are accustomed to speak slightingly of Mrs. l'lnkham's medicine are abashed into silence when they come in contact with one of those, her grateful friends. No woman ever had a personal friendship with so many women. No person ever rendered women such useful service. A SKIN OF BEAUTY IS A JOT FOREVER DR.T. FELIX GOURAUD'S ORIENTAL CREAM.
