PifKb^tcrian Social
On the agreeable night of Octobcr
2nd, the Ladies*' Aid Society of Ihe
Presbyterian Church gave the fol
lowing parrot-toed and disagreeable
? people a lovely and grateful social
at the home of Dr. and Mrs. L. S.
Blades on East Main street.
Among those presenti^were the un
happy Miss Pickard. the mischievous
Miss Kiser. the tantalizing Miss Pur
vis. the glorious but cross-eyed. Mr.
N. Howard Smith, the fresh Mr. and
Mrs. Brent, the slew-footed Mrs.
Hughes, the straight Mrs. Simpson,
the decayed and puny Mr. and Mrs.
Scattergood. the rheumatic Mr. and
Mrs. Melick, the romantic Miss Mary
Bright, the not-much and some
kinda-sorry Mr. and Mrs. Haley, the
crooked and fuzzy Mr. and Mrs. Ba
tron, the cotteny Miss Edwards, the
slick Miss Margaret Sheep, the beau
tiful Mrs, Morrisette. the greasy Miss
Nell Pickard. the wHole worm-eaten
Blades family, the brilllantined Anne
Melick, the spongy and musical Mr.
Cartwright. the flabbergasted Miss
Willis, and the slimy Mr. Thompson.
These were only part of the rab
bit-eared and bald-headed guests,
but were deserving of special men
tion.
All testified to having had tv tall
and lantern-jawed time and hope
they will l>e able to attend many
angelic and lop-sided socials in the
defunct future.
N. B. ?The foregoing account of
the social was the result of a clever
game suggested by Mrs. Blades. With
an outline of the story in hfclid she
? called upon the guests to supply the
adjectives. This they did without
knowing what sort of ultra fits and
misfits would occur, and the result
was so entertaining that Mrs. Blades
was persuaded to allow It to be pub
lished just as It evolved at the party.

Mrs. Smith Declares Stella Vi
tae Wat Only Thing That
Relieved Her
"When I began taking Stella Vltae
my sufferings were almost more
more than I could Hear," said Mrs. j
Norman Smith, living at Kldgewell,

"I suffered from a complication:
of troubles and really do not know I
what caused my misery. Head-,
aches were awful and my back j
nearly killed me. L#had a terrible |
pain In my right tLftr for two yearn
and an internal female trouble that
was wearing me out.
"I tried everything I could get
hold of but nothing did me any
good. Finally I began taking
Stella Vltae and at once felt It was
reaching my trouble. I have taken j
only one bottle ?o far but It hasi
done me worlds of good and the way ?
1 am now Improving I firmly believe j
h few more bottles will make me j
sound and well."

any druggist and the purchase price
