Read what Cardui did for Miss Myria Engler, of
Faribault, Minn. Site says: "Let me tell you how much
good Cardui has done me. As a young girl, I always had
to suffer so much with all kind of pain. Sometimes, I was
so weak that "I could harc'-y stand on ray feet I got a
bottle of Cardui, at the druc store, and as soon as I had
taken a few doses, I began to feel better.
Today, I feel as well as anyone can."

ICKING A
Present
Dlatt
Br Douglas Halloch
HEN Harry Piatt and
that girl friend of the
, Greens (I forget her
name) were married,
it was one of those
my-goodness - gracious-just-think-of-that
af-
faira, with no one in
on the secret except the suburban
minister who tied the knot, the cab
man who drive them out there and the
girl from the minister's kitchen, who
was a witness, and left a thumb-print
of grease on the certificate (she was
frying doughnuts at the time) and the
minister's wife (at least the name was
the same). Let's see, where was I?
Oh, yes, when the Platts were mar
ried, it being that kind of a wedding,
there was no chance to send them a
wedding gift as I would have liked to
do, or to have done, (whichever is
proper, or grammatical, though I'm
sure I can never tell which) .
But Mr. Piatt is one of the nicest men
in the office, that is, he was before
this happened. So I felt we ought to
do something for him, just to show
our good will and, anyhow, we've
dug down for others we thought much
less of, so why shouldn't we for him?
But the wedding was over, without in
vitations, or even a reception, and
they were housekeeping before we
knew it. So what could we do?
Well, just then
Christmas came
along not just then
but two months
after the wedding.
They were mar
ried October 29,
so it wasn't quite
two months, but
that's close
enough. When
Christmas came
along, that is,
just before it
came along, I sug
gested that we
make up a purse
and give them a
sort of delayed
wedding present,
just to show our
good will. Every
body thought it
wna a snlendid
idea, that, is, of course, except Mr.
Piatt, whom, of course, I didn't con
cult. So I got up a subscription paper
and went to everybody in the office
(except Mr. Piatt, of course). I got
$26.60, including ten cents from the
janitor, who wasn't expected to give
anything but wanted to give some
thing, which shows just how popular
Mr. Piatt was with everyone in the
building, when a janitor even would
chip in.
Christmas shopping is hard enough,
goodness knows, when you do it for
yourself; but when you do it for a
stock company capitalized at $26.60,
with 28 stockholders, with 28 different
kinds of ideas and tastes, then Christ
mas shopping rises above a mere an
noyance to the dignity of a real trou
ble. And that's what I was up against.
I thought it would be nice to get an
expression of opinion. So I went
around one morning and asked for
ideas. But I couldn't get a word. No
body could think of anything. I
couldn't myself. At noon I went
out and looked. I walked miles.
I priced, then I went back to
the office. You should have seen
my desk. Honest, you would have
thought some one had turned in a gen
eral alarm. They couldn't wait for me
to get back. There they were 28 of
them, (that is, 27, or 28 with me).
They all had suggestions, and they
were all different.
The head book
keeper thought
an arm chair
would be nice.
(He stands up all
day). The collec
tor thought a ram
coat would be
best, while Miss
Jones suggested a
dress pattern
They all said, of
course, that they
left it entirely to
me; and then each
went away sadly,
as much as to say
that he hoped
woman t De so
foolish as to buy
any of those other
things that the
otners cad pro
posed
The next day I looked again. But
either a thing was too expensive or I
would have money left. It is remark
able how few things there are in the
world you can buy for $26.60, no
more, no less.
And then I saw It. It was in a de
partment store, and marked down
from $50 to $26.60! There it was, to
a cent! A great, big, glittering, mag
nificent Punch Bowl! Nobody had
thought, of that!
But, to make sure, I sent the sales
ticket with it and told the Platts they
could exchange the punch bowl, if
they wished, for something they liked
better.
- And what do you suppose those
Platts did?
,In January they traded in that mag;
nificent punch bowl for three tons of

By EUGENIA RABBAS
O I am a heartless flirt,
who doesn't understand
the meaning of the
word love, am I, - Mr.
William Dunning?"
stormed Marjorie all to
herself, 'in answer to
the final decree of rage
and defiance which that
gentleman hurled at her
by means of a vigorous
slam of the front door.
"I believe he would
have shaken me, if he hadn't rushed
out In time to prevent himself from
doing it," she continued, the ever
ready dimples venturing out of their
hiding places, but she banished them
severely. "I'll never, never forgive
him, even though he asks me to, which
of course, he won't! And he calls me
stubborn!"
Next morning Marjorie was tremen
dously busy wrapping up dainty little
parcels, for the next day was Christ
mas, and her many friends must be
remembered, in spite of quarrels and
Billy.
Still, shr seemed very much preoc
cupied over her work, and quite sud
denly she threw aside the piece of
holly she had been toying with, and
fairly flew to the telephone.
In answer to her . impatient sum
mons, she was quickly connected with
Brown & Co.'s book store. "Have you
sent out those books that were order
ed for Mr. William Dunning?" she ask
ed anxiously.
The answer evidently pleased her,
for she breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's all right; I'm glad you haven't,
for I have changed my mind about
them. Please cancel the order."
Marjorie hung up the receiver with
an air of triumph. "There, I'm glad I
thought of that! Billy would have
construed a Christmas present into an
abject apology," she said, her indig
nation rising at the very thought of
such a thing.
But when she went back to her par
cels and picked up the little twig of
holly she had intended tucking away
into one of them, her face softened. "I
know that Isn't the right kind of a
Christmas spirit to have, but I can't
have Billy thinking that I am admit
ting I was wrong, when I know I
wasn't," she argued with herself.
The joyous ringing of Christmas
bells and merry shouts of her younger
sisters and brothers, when they dis
covered their stockings the next morn
ing, only served to emphasize her de
pression.
"Billy never loved me; If he really
and truly did he never could trat mo
like this," she told hersetf as she stood
looking with unseeing eyes at the
snowy Christmas world.
Just then a young man, fairly tear
ing around the corner, arrested her at
tention. It was no less a person than
Billy himself who was coming, post
haste, to see her.
Marjorie looked at him in won
der. What had come over Billy?
Why this sudden contrition, when, she
admitted it now for the first time,
even to herself she had been greatly,
if not altogether, to blame for their
quarrel.
"O, Billy, I am so glad you came."
Billy took some little time to empha
size his appreciation of her welcome.
then "Glad I came? Why wouldn't I
come, dear?" he asked.
"Because vou vnvod
unless I apologized," Marjorie explain
ed miscmevousiy.
"You didn't think Vd ho
and unforgiving as to ignore your dear
mue peace oiToring? I brought one of
the books with me to read something
to you," he told her, and diving into
his pocket he produced a little copy
of "Romeo and Juliet."
Marjorie was surprised for a second,
then it flashed over her what it all
meant. Brown & Co. had forgotten to
cancel her order and Billy had re
ceived the books. Billy had construed
her sending them ints a humble plea
for forgiveness.
He most probably wouldn't have
come at all if it hadn't been for that.
She stiffened visibly and all her love
was swallowed up in a wave of rebel
lious pride.
"You are mistaken," she commenced
coldly, but Billy interrupted her
Here, I have found it.
"'My bounty Is as boundless as the
sea.
My love as deep, the more I give to
thee.
"The more I have, for both are in
finite he was reading, and the simple
beauty of the lines awoke something
m Marjorie stronger than pride or re
seulmcnt and she only smiied when
added tenderly: ' My Christmas
