LEARNED IN 47
YEARS PRACTICE
A physician watched the results of
constipation for 47 years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are of
their health, diet and exercise, constipa-
tion will occur from time to time. Of
next importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as ible, hence his remedy for consti.
tion, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
epsin, is a mild vegetable compound.
It can mot harm the system and is not
habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant.
tasting, and youngsters love it.
Dr. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges, He did not
believe they were good for anybody's
system. In a practice of 47 years he
never saw any reason for their use when
Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just

«fore Somerville college opened
the middle of September. I was
raking up the leaves on my lawn
when they drove up in a decrepit old
touring cur, baggage piled high, a dog
ted to the running board.
I had the key to Mrs. Lovelace's ecot-
tage, which they had rented, and bur
ried to get it and when 1 came out
the girl was half way across the lawn
coming toward Her face was
fairly radiant beneath a little french
blue tam pulled down over her tawny
‘halr. She wore a blue sweater, the
bilge that goes with auburn hair and
fair skin, and a short white skirt. She
walked with a mannish stride, the
Alredale leaping at outstretched
hand,
“Mrs. Butes? | see you know what
I am after,” and reached out a
hrown hand for the key. “Please don't

I replied smiling. “You forget that he

“Indeed, yes, | have a letter from
her just before she died. | have saved
it. I am giad she had her boy.”
There was wn shrill whistle
across the lawn.
“Hey, Jess, hurry ap. All this staff
plied on the front steps makes the
place look like a junk dealer's house
and besides I'm HKungry.”
The girl laughed. “Tod's always hun-

She had a way of fixing things and
the little cottage seemed to blossom In
its brightly colored cretonnes and lit.
tle personal knickknackss 1 could hear
her singing mornings over her work
some old Scotch ballad,
During the holidays Tod and Jess
went to the reception given the fac
ulty of Somerville college by Mrs.
Maribell Morgan, Somerville's rich
widow. Jess called me over to see her
in her evening dress; a lovely blue
and silver thing. Next day she told
me about the reception and about the
“house on the hill" Mrs. Morgan had
worn black velvet and diamonds. Yes,
she was very lovely—very—and had
taken an especial interest in Tod be
cause she was interested in literature
and history, the subjects he taught at
the college. She had asked him fo talk
her literary club and he had
promised fo write a paper for her.
The next week Jess was not singing
mornings. Her eyes looked weary
when she smiled and she often sipped
across the lawn and sat with me be-
fore the fire evenings when Tod was
out, Once she threw a cushion at my
feet and leaned her head against my
knees, 1 stroked her halr for a few
minutes and then she caught my hand
and kissed it. Her cheeks were wet.
“They sald Mother MacPherson
dled of a broken heart,” she said
slowly. “Do you think she did, Mrs.
Bates? You know Tod's father went
away~when he was a baby. He went
with another-woman.”
“1 know-l remember, Jess She
loved him dearly. She just seemed to
pine away, after that. Bui she kept
going-for the boy.”
They weeks went by. Tod MacPher
son spent a great deal of time at “the
house on the hill” arranging Mrs. Mor
gan's newly acquired library. He even
went to New York during the “olidays
in the spring to buy books Jess
smiled bravely. She wet him at the
door at night with a cheery whistle:
she watched him swing off down the
street after early dinners, and ‘while
she sat with me she would listen for
his step returning, snd would race
neross the lawn to be at the door to
welconte him.
“Boday Is Tod's birthday,” she called
to me one morning in May. “And I'm

1 watched Jess come to (he porch

nodded awkwardly and walked toward

pressed the letter into his hand. He

him mumbling over the words:

Beauty Not Greatest
of Feminine Charms
Of the 12 greatest women whose in-
fluence over men has won them places
in history, only three were really bean-
ties, four were so plain that they
verged on ugliness, the other five were
only so-so as to looks. And Cleopatra,
first charmer of the lot, was probably
the most unattractive physically.
These are the findings of Adela
Rogers St. Johns, who spent two yenrs
studying the documenis, portraits, per.
soral stories and other contemporary
evidence bearing on the lives of the 12.

through the love of Orloff and Potem-
kin: Rand, the mannish au

of her time; and Queen Elizabeth,
whose influence over men carried the
British flag to world-wide empire.
The three beauties on the St. Johns
list are Emma Hamilton, who rose

of Lord Nelson, Mary Queen of Scots,
and Isabelle d'Este, the inspiration of
Raphael and Michelangelo,

What an important thing In the
world a woman's hat is! This is
meant in the general and pot
about the individual woman-—-aithough
if the hat has gone wrong, it will be
pretty hard to make the costume ef
fective. What recently impressed
Dame Fashion was the report of a
great mass meeting, In the largest city
in the world, with representatives of
all branches of the millinery Industry
present, addressed by the mayor of
the city, who was said to “have made
a special study of millinery interests.”
When Dame Fashion learned that
one of the largest associations of col
legiate women in the country was to
discuss, among other things, this
year, “The University Woman in
Connection With Fashion aod Style”
it astonished her somewhat. You see
it hus generally been taken for grant.
ed that the butterflies of the wotnen's
world bave set the styles, and we
soberer folk wodify them snd trail
along after. Bo the idea that the col-
woman Influences or even leads
in styles Is quite pew and refreshing.
It was not long after when Dame
Fashion was told this authoritative
word: “The college giri may be
looked upon as having brought back
the wool frock.” Then It is added.
“Paris designers have entered keenly
into the designing of clethes for the
young college woman. Naive dresses
for freshmen have unusual! charm.”
ut who knows whether it will re
suit like the bobbed hair? Most of
the elders sought for the delightful ef
fect of youth from shorn locks—and
then, presto, the girls let their hair
grow! “Nalve dresses for freshmen”
will soon adorn the grandmothers
and the girls will take to the sophis
ticated attire supposed to be for the
mature woman. From before the days
of Galileo it has been the custom
of pendulums to swing.
ut speaking both gowns and
hats, Dame Fashion overheard two
girls talking the other day, One was
boasting of the comfort she took with
her ensemble gown, and how to med
ify It to make it fit diferent occas
ions, Sald the other girl, “Maybe
some day there will be an ensemble
hat invented; little close toque when
