A CRITICAL PERIOD
INTELLIGENTWOMEN PREPARE
Dangers and Pain of This Critical Period
Avoided by the Use of Lydia E. Pink,
nam's Vegetable Compound.
How many wo
men realize that
the most critical

man's existence
is the change of

I anxiety felt by
women as this
I time draws near
is not without
reason ?
If her system is in a deranged condi
tion, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
a host of nervous irritations, make life
a burden.
At this time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liablo to begin their destruc
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, diz
ziness, headache, dread of impending'
evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal
pitation of the heart, sparks before the
eyes, irregularities, constipation, varia
ble appetite, weakness and inquietude
are promptly heeded by intelligent
women who are approaching the period
of life when woman's great change
may be expected.
VVe believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is the world's great
est remedy for women at this trying
period.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound invigorates and strengthens the
female organism, and builds up the
weakened nervous system as no other
medicine can.
Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland, of Chester
town, McJ., in a letter to Mrs. Pink
ham, says:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" I had been suffering with a displacement
for years and was passing through the change
of life. I had a good deal of soreness, dizzy
spells, headaches, and was very nervous. I
wrote you for advice and commenced treat
ment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as you directed, and I am happy
to say that all those distressing symptoms left
me, and I have passed safely through the
change of life a well woman."

Schoolgirls Should Study to Be Tact

able How One Girl Offended
Three Friends The Truth-Telling
Tale-Bearex a Disagreeable Person,
BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER.
(Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowlea.)
Louise, wno is a girl neighbor, came
Into my living-room the other Cay
looking very forlorn. She Hang her
self into a chair, the corners of her
mouth drooped and 1 saw that tears
were not very far from her honest
brown eyes. Louise has those big
brown eyes that show a soul so true
and loyal that it has in it not -he
faintest possibility for deceit. I nave
seen dogs with eyes that have exactly
that expression.
"What is the matter?" I said.
"Have you found out that your doll
Is stuffed with sawdust, or has your
dearest friend picked up her pliy
things and gone home? You appear to
have met with some provoking disap
pointment. Did you not get on the
promotion list after all your work?
Come, dear, pour out your trouble. Tell
me what has happened. Perhaps I
can help you. I've been in hard places
myself."
Louise managed to smile a little as
she answered: "The trouble isn't one
that you can cure. It is just that I
am inch an idiot of a girl, always say
ing the wrong thing and making mis
takes and setting people against me
I ?iave done it three times to-day; I
have three times said the wrong thing,
snd I am completely discouraged.
"In the first place I met Mena Car
son on her way to school this morning.
She was in very good spirits and told
me that she was sure she would have
a perfect recitation in geometry as
she had worked out every proposition
correctly last evening. I had nothing
better to answer than: 'That will be a
change for you. I know that your
Cousin Tom is visiting your house, and
I suppose he helped you.'
"Now, that was the worst and. most
insulting remark I could have made
for Mena is very dull in mathematics.
and, as everybody knows, her people
at home are not particularly weli-edu
cated. I called attention in a breath
to her own stupidity and to the fact
that she couldn't have made her prep
aration unless Tom Winthrop had
been there to help her. She left me
abruptly, and she hasn't sponen to me
since. Anyway, I was sincere."
Yes, Louise, I assured her, you
were sincere, but you were not tact
ful. I fear that you did hurt your
friend's feelings quite needlessly. Uo
on, dear. Let me hear the rest."
"At recess," said Louise, "Marjorie
Dean asked me if I liked the fashion
of her new frock. Without stopping
to think, I told her frankly that the
fashion was pretty enough for some
people. It would suit a tall, slender
girl like Nancy Kent, but it made Mar
jorie look too dumpy and short. It
was the truth, but Marjorie flushed up
and said: 'You -do say such horrid
things, Louise. One never knows what
you will tell her when she asks you
a civil question.' Then she walked off,
and I know she does not like her frock
so well as she did before.
"As if this were not sufficient
Louise proceeded, "I blundered again.
Miss Tilson, our teacher, asked me
whether I would have to go out of my
way to post a letter for her, when 1
went home to luncheon. The post of
fice is three blocks from our house
in an opposite direction from the
school, so I could not oblige my teach
er without taking some "extra steps. I
hesitated a moment before I answered
I shall have to go a little out of the
way, but I shall not mind that; I can
hurry, and I will be happy to post
your letter.' 'Never mind,' said Miss
Tilson, 'here comes Rose Elliot, I
think she can oblige me without any
inconvenience.'
"You should have seen Rose. She
just beamed. She seized upon that
letter and bore it off in triumph, and
Miss Tilson looked after her as much
as to say: 'There goes a young girl
who takes delight in doing favors for
people.' " r
Louise sighed and was silent
1
"The error you make, Louise," I
said, after a pause, " is a common one
with young people. They lack a sense
of proportion. You are naturally can
did and open, and you have formed a:a
excellent habit of always telling '.he
truth. I like your sincerity. I eien
like your bluntness, and yet I must
tell you very plainly that sincetlt
THREE BOWLES
without tact is often cruel and brutal,
and sometimes unpardonable. Tact
means touch.
"The tactful girl is very quick to un
derstand a situation. She knows how
people feel without having their sen
timents explained. She never goes out
of her way to show a schoolmate as
you did Mena, that you have noticed
how frequently she is deficient In
no circumstances does she venture to
Inform an acquaintance that her hat
or her dress is unbecoming, when the
dress and hat have been bought and
paid for. And she understands how to
undertake a commission without act
ually saying that it will put her to
some inconvenience. This morning
you had only to say to Mena, when
she told you about the geometry:
'Dear Mena, how glad I am,' and you
might have stopped your comment on
Marjorie's frock at the point of ad
miration for the fashion. As for Miss
Tilson you had merely to say: 'Why,1
of course; it will be a pleasure to post
your letter.'
"One of our greatest .perils is in this
direction. We exalt one virtue at the
expense of another. I had a school
mate who not only never made friends,
but really made enemies through her
determination never to say the least
thing that was not altogether true.
She carried her truth-telling so far
that she constantly involved other peo
ple in trouble by doing what has been
regarded by school people as shock
ing from the days of the Romans un
til now. She was a sort of tale-bearer,
not because she wanted to be so.
but because her conscience obliged he;
to reveal everything she knew, wheth
er it -.vas her own affair or that ot an
other." At this Louise sat up very straight.
"That girl," she said, "was a goose.
Everybody knows that telling tales Is
perfectly abominable."
"I agree with you in that, but Caro
line unfortunately never learned that
simple thing; in consequence she was
shunned as a girl and disliked when
she grew older. '
"A very important study for girls, as
important, I think, as Latin, algebra
or German, is to learn how to be both
tactful and sincere. We must never
knowingly violate the truth, but thera
are times when we may be silent and
commit no sin. A lie may be told by
one who is a hypocrite, without her
opening her lips. There are times
when deception is carried on by looks.
One must speak truth if she speaks at
all, and one must not be a coward. A
sincere nature reveals itself in tones
and glances, as well as in speech, but
one who is tactful will learn delicacy
She will be, careful not to wound any
one's feelings. She will refrain from
putting herself forward and will be
quick to do and say agreeable things.
"For instance, your friend Marjorie
has a beautiful complexion. You
might have said 'that color suits your
hair and eyes,' without calling atten
tion to her figure. Although Mena is
not quick at mathematics, she writes
good compositions, and I don't ber
Heve you have ever complimented her
on that talent. As for Miss Tilson,
whom you adore, you can make it all
right with her by being on the watch
to accommodate her next time. Does
she not let the girls sometimes make
her a cup of tea at the noon hour?
And do you not sometimes carry your
luncheon with you to school? The
tactful person looks out for opportu
nities to be helpful, without ever be
ing obtrusive.
"Cheer up, Louise, you have done
nothing very dreadful after all. Nine
tenths of the difficulty is ta finding out
where our weak points lie. Once they
are discovered, it is very easy to
guard against them. I expect to see
you as tactful as your sister Gene
vieve by the time you are 20."
Louise went away consoled. Gene
vieve is her ideal, as elder sisters
should always be.

ent Widths of Ribbon.
Silk voiles and grenadines are not of
necessity associated with large quan
tities of taffeta or broadcloth, although
those combinations are very desirable.
The sheer silky stuffs, which wear sur
prisingly well, in spite of their sheer-
ness, are made up into the most
charming of little frocks, mounted
over silk of the same tone or of har
monizing color and trimmed in satin
or velvet ribbon, with lace about the
throat and shoulders and on the
sleeves.
Ribbon trimming is particularly ef
fective upon stuffs of this class, and
often a skirt will be adorned with
rows of rather narrow ribbon for fully
half its depth, the ribbon being laid
on flat and stitched on the upper edge.
VOILE OVER SILK.
Ribbon and material are, of course, in
the same color.
Sometimes two widths of ribbon are
used, a single wide ribbon and a group
of narrow ribbon alternating; or, as
in the case of a charming white silk
voile model, wide inset lace insertion
may be combined with ribbon bands of
varying widths. Many ideas may be
worked out in this simple trimming,
and the effect of velvet ribbon upon
silk voile of the same shade but mads
up over white is especially good. Rib
