WOMEN AND SOCIETY. OSCULATORY GERMS. [All Communications to tills column should he addressed to P. O. Box ikd.] In the thinner light-weight male rials which will be used this summer for govns, nothing is nicer or better than the voiles and etamines. The skirts of these gowns are pretty when cut in the double tunic or tnppie skirt, having each section finished with the border, and the bodices, when made with yokes, or wide collars, trimmed with the border. For dressier gowns for the summer the fiowered and figured Swisses will be first choice. These gowns in the plain goods art trimmed principally with insertions-of lace, either in white or ecru. The favorite laces this season are cluny and antique. Mrs. T. 1). Litthjohn, of Asbury, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. 11. A Jones. Mrs. E.

Girin Afralti to Kimh Tl»«lr Love l-cttcrx A Baltimore Incident. The following article from the Augusta Herald has furnished occa slon for a good deal of plagiarism by newspapers in this Htato : “A reporter learns that several young ladies have started a crusade against the osculatory germ, which some of the dear creatures have con founded with the kissing bug. The crusade was started by a young lady learning the following and telling it to her friends: ‘Many Baltimore girls are sorry they mailed letters to their sweet hearts with moisture from their own lips. Some have broken engage ments to show for and others are trembling for fear their finances will call it off, or at least cease osculation. And all because students at the Balti more medical school decided to test the gum seals on the envelopes from their best girls for bacteria. Why they chose to jeopardize their affec tion for their sweethearts instead of experimenting with any old envelopes is not explained, hut it is an admitted fact that tuberculosis and typhoid germs were much in evidence. The young men were nauch alarmed over their discoveries, some so much so they decided that discretion was the better part of valor and parted troth. Others have vowed they will cease kissing. It is probable, however, that the scare will soon blow over and that Baltimore girls will not have to produce certificates showing their lips have been cleaned with an antiseptic before the boys will again willingly kiss them.” ’ REFLECTIONS. A wife often permits her affection to blind her reason. Regard for petty things often will dwarf a man’s ambition. A woman’s love can become annoy ing as well as burdensome. Marriage based on honest affection will withstand the ravages of time. Sir John Foreet, the Australian statesman, has a great record as an explorer. A Startling Text. To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a startling test, resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes, “a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. I had of ten found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles, so I prescribed them. The patient gained from the first, and has not had an attack in 14 months.” Electric I Bitters are positively guaranteed for Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Constipation j and Kidnev troubles. Try them.

Confidence is not easily gained where exaggerated love of self is found to exist. To decide between love and duty has caused hours of worry to men us well as to women. The man with a vice wonders why so many persons think it their duty to make public the fact. Man often shows the hard side of his disposition to mark more strongly the generous shades.—Philadelphia Bulle tin. Austria lost nearly 48,000 persons by emigration last year.
