This is the best model for displaying diagonal lines of Insertion on a bodice. Modish Fun*. * The small fans which will be car ried with handsome gowns show the cut-out effect of so many other things.

"The Trince and tlie Cook" is the theme of a rather amusing story In which the ruler of Bulgaria and his former chef play the leading parts. About 18 months ngo the prince en gaged at Vicuna the services of a chef named A'aniczec for a term of two years, on the following basis; The cook was to receive 110 wages, hut a sum of 10 francs a day for providing dejeuner and dinner for the prince, his family and the members of his court and household. In addition he was to re ceive 10 francs (which Is a little less than $2 a day for each Invited guest who happened to take dejeuner or din ner under the prince's roof. As, a guarantee of his observance of the terms of the contract, the chef was compelled to deposit with the prince's treasurer a sum of SIO,OOO. Before the cook had been very long at Sofia he found that ruin stared him in the face. The demands and require ments of the prince, in a culinary sense, were such that the dejeuner alone which his Highness required the cook to supply cost more than 10 francs a head, so that the price of the dinner virtually came out of fhe chef's own pocket. When the chef asked for an Increase be was told that he would have to stick to the terms of his con tract, and when he struck work and de clined to continue any longer, the prince coolly confiscated the $10,(K)0 which the chef had been called upon to deposit as a guarantee. The chef thereupon instituted a suit against the prince, demanding the re turn of his SIO,OOO and the payment of an additional sum of s,'looo which he showed by vouchers that he lmd spent out of his own resources over and above what he had received from the prince In order to meet the hitter's requirements. The courts gave a de cision in favor of the prince. But the cook lias got even at last, for he has opened at Budapest a great res taurant In the ultra-fashionable An drassy street, the place bearing the title of "Prince of Bulgaria" and adorned with the hitter's arms, while the worthy host byway of attracting customers. Is never tired of relating piquant stories of an Intimate charac ter concerning the Prince of Bulgaria niul ills court, calculated to show both the one and the other in a ridiculous and contemptible light, the consensus of opinion at Budapest being that the prince would have been wiser to pay his cook.—Washington Tost.

Mrs. John son Tells How She Was Helped Over the Trying Time. Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand ap proaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying, and sometimes painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills, as if the heart were going to stop for good, are only a few of the symptoms of a dangerous nervous trouble. The nerves are crying out for assistance. Th cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life. The three following letters arc guaranteed to be genuine and true, and still further prove what a great medicine Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is for women. Mar. 12, 1897. 44 DiiA.II MRS.

April 13, 1900. 44 1 send you this letter to publish for the benefit of others. I was sick for about nine years so that I could not do my work. For three months I could not sit up long enough to have my bed made. I had five different doctors, and all said there was no help for rae. My trouble was change of life. I suffered with ulceration of the womb, pain in sides, kidney and stomach trouble, back ache, headache, and dizziness. lam well and strong, and feel like a new person.

There is no need of women suffering so much if they would take your remedies, for they are a sure cure."—MßS. CHARLOTTE JOHNSON, Monclova, Ohio. When one stops to think about the good Mrs. Johnson derived from Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine, it seems almost beyond belief; yet it is all, true as stated in her throe letters published above at her own request. As a matter of positive fact Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of letters from women who have been safely carried through that danger period 44 Change of Life." Mrs. Johnson's cure is not an unusual one for Mrs. Pink ham's medicine to accomplish. fa I" REWARD. —Wo bave deposited with the National City Rank of Lynn, SSOOO, 'k hJlllil vlilch will bo paid to any person who can 11 nd that the above testimonial letters ■ u IBIHSHI aro ,u,t youuine, or wore published before obtaining the writer's special per tniMiou.
