It 1s almost another ‘Little Minister’ success. The play is a picture of English life, late in the eighteenth century. Barrie has given the play the touches that mark his Scutch tales and which Miss Adams_ interprets feelingly. ’ Phoebe. (Miss Adams) falls in love with |Brown. Her elder sister shares the hope that Brown is mutually inspired and gives her sister the wedding gown which she had prepared for her own marriage, which never took place. Phoebe dresses herself in the gown, on the “en she expects Brown, hoping that he will tell her his ove gar od Instead he informs her that e Is ng to the war and bids her a rather formal goo by.

The three are to go to a ball in y “a ne the evening, but Phoebe says she will not g0. Then she lets down her hair, puts on the old wedding gown’and In every way accentuates her charms. When Brown comes the girl is introduced as a niece, Miss patver.

NEES EERE SON ARI ih tle et aR Ry ee RAR RUERS’ TROUBLES, a : . , A TRYING OCCUPATION FOR WOMEN ‘WITH DELICATE NERVES. "Phe Hard Work Entalied by the Charge of « 2m School Room Often Causes the Health to Break Down. Teaching school is an occupation which has many attractions for cultured - wo , but it also has many drawbacks and often affects their health seriously. Especially is this so in the case of women with delicate nervous systems and those with a tendency to pulmonary. troubles. Miss Mary K. Powers of Ellsworth, Wis., is a teacher whose health was broken down by the hard work which the charge of a large school entails. She says: | “During the winter of 1898, while ‘teaching school, I became subject to nervousness, which grew worse until my whole system was run down. My back ached and at times I was so dizzy that I could scarcely stand. My limbs were “swollen and always tired, so that I felt no more’ rested in the morning than when I went to bed. I was also troubled with a cough and the food I ate did not strengthen me. This condition, accom- panied by. palpitation of the heart. kept up for several months until in March, hen I read about Dr. Williams Pink ilis for Pale People in a Juneau, Wis- consin, newspaper. : “T began taking the pills and in about a week I noticed a change for the better. I felf so encouraged by this improve- ment that I kept on taking them until I had used three boxes, and was entirely cured. I always keep Dr. Williams Pink Pills by me and I take them occa- sionally when I feel the need of a tonic. “T believe firmly it the good done by Pink Pills for Pale People and have ad- vised many of my friends to use them. The pills which cured Miss Powers ure not a patent medicine, but a pre- scrintion used for many years by an emi- nent practitioner who produced the most wonderful results with them, curing all kinds of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of almost every ill to which flesh is heir. Acting directly on the blood and nerves these pills have proved a boon to women, in- vigorating the body and regulating the functions of the exhausted patient. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head- ache, the after-effects of the grip, palpi- tation of the heart, nale and sallow com-! plexions, and all forms of weakness _ in male or female. r. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo- ple are sold by all dealers, or will be sent ostpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a hak or six boxes for two dollars and a half, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,,N. Y. Be sure you get the genuine; substitutes never cured anybody. Look for the full name on every package.
