Miss C:orgitta France, who relates below how her Health-affd Energy were restored by Dr. Williavrr~' Pink Pills for Pair, A Sombre Part off the Stage. An episode in the life of a clever actress. Rescued from Effects of Acute Debility by the aid of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In the glitter of the footlights we gaze upon selebrities of the Stags seemingly happy and healthy. But little we consider whether the joyous laugh rings true. There is another ,ide to the picture, and this upon the autho- rity of 31iss Georgina V. France, who has made her name famous in the theatrical world. In private life, Mrs Whitlock, this lady's home is at 26, Argyle-road, Goldthorn Hill. Wolverhampton. She was kind enough to accord an interview just lately, while on tour at Manchester, to a representative who had made inquiries of the talented young octrc-ss. AN ANXIOUS MOTHER. It appear that Mrs. Whitlock had fer pome time been a victim of Acute Debility, and this at a time when her infant most needed a mother's tender eare. "First of all," said the charming artiste, "I began to fed terribly breathless, with an all-gone, sinking feeling. Then I was greatly alarmed by the flutterin.g sem"atiOIl3 around my heart, which throbbed most painfully; and I felt so weak that I began to refuse food. Coupled with these troubles, I had, violent neuralgic headaches, which deprived me of sleep. Every morning I rose utterly weary, feel- ing unfit to go through the trying duties cf the day. My back seemed as though it would break. and I could tell that my health was rapid;y goii*?. G EN Eli AJLi-BREAKDOWN OF HEALTH. "Vainly my husband tried to get me to take food; as soon as I took a few morsels keen pains cut across my chest until I writhed in agony. Also, my memory became treacherous, and all my nerve seemed to have left me." How did you manage to continue your stage work?" inquired the journalist. I hardly know myself," confessed Mrs. I Whitlock. "To tell you the plain truth, my I face had grown so pale and haggard that;, make-ups' failed to conceal the fact that I had almost been reduced to a physical wreck. I was bloodless, my constitution was devoid of strength, and you can well imagine I was ia despair." "But you found a remedy?" said the joaroahst, noting the healthy, happy per- sonality before him. I "I am thankful to say I did." was the quick response, while a look of gratitude lighted her countenance. "Those evil days are gone, and both myself and my little one are now well and robust. I owe this happy state of affairs entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink i Pills. THE DIFFERENCE TO-DAY. "They have restored the colour to my cheeks, and put strength into my limbe again; to-day I am as strong as I have evr been. I could feel my strength returning j,rapidly after I had taken only the see-on! box of the bills, and I did not have the terrible pains in my hack. The blood again I tingled in my veins, and I felt comfortable and happy o-nce more." I "Like another woman, in fact?" suggested the reporter. Precisely!" was the reply. •< in my opinion there is no medicine in the world if III y zzltycrirlg sex but rea-lised the fact. that has such virtue as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." AN OBJECT LE&SON TO THE READER Even the strongest constitutions yield in time to the strain of constant attention to work. Her responsible duties reduced Mrs. Whitlock to a state of Acute Debility from which she could not recover until she had recourse to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, it was poverty of her blood tha.t led to the Debility and all the evils following in its train. Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for PaJe People. Rich Ne-v Blood ra>laced the poor vitiated supply, her nerves Vere braced up. and thus, as she said, she felt like "another woman." This is but the experience of thousands of other happy women, wives and mothers, who live to-day as examples of the unequalled value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills have cured Anaemia, Genera] Weakness, Debility, Decline, Indigestion, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Nervous Dirorders, and Ladies.' Ailments.

For Women Folk. I I HOMELY HINTS AND DAlthy DISHES j A gve wiped with a paraffin rag will keep clean and nice. When thickening soups or stews, try two or three potatoes scraped instead of flour. To cure piles, take one teaspoonful (jf treacle every morning (fasting). Procure 4oz. of best hog's lard, and lor. of prepa,red flowers of sulphur. Well mix the lard and sulphur, and keep in a stone or china ja,r, anointing the parts affected every night on retiring. This simple prescription, persevered in,. will effect a cure most obstinate cases having been wiped out through it. Clove Wine Two ounces cloves, loz. gingc?r, 21b. sugar! to the gallon, boil the cloves and ginger three-quarters of an hour, then put in the su?ar and boil twenty minutes. Let it stand until cold; it is then ready for use, but improves by standing a short time. Aunt Ruth's Pudding One pound of dates (stoned and chopped}, 6oz. of beef suet (finely minced), lib. of breadcrumbs, ilb. of golden syrup. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, well butter a ba-sin or mould, put in the mixture, and tie! securely down, having first wrung out the cloth from boiling water. Let t,he pudding boil well for three ho-urs. This is a delicious pudding, and very sustaining. Porterhouse Steak A porterhouse steak is cut right through the siTloin, sowing through the bone, and with the undercut attached. It should bo quite an inch and a half in thickness. Soak the steak in the following mixture for two hours before cooking: Two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of salad oil, one dessertspoonful of finely-chopped onion, and! one teaspoonful of chopped parsley. Mix all together on dish, sprinkle the steak thickly with pepper and salt, and put it to soak In the mixture, turning from time to time. Grill over a clear fire for about twenty minutes, and serve with a pat of anchovy butter on top and chip potatoes round. To make the anchovy butter, take Joz. of butter, and blend with it sufficient anchovy paste to make it a bright pink. Put in a cool place to become firm, and cut into fancy shapes or squares. Place on the steak when grilled. This makes a nice change from an ordinary steak.

Passing Pleasantries. A certain nobleman well-known to society, While one dir.y strolling round his stables, came across his coachman's little boy on a seat playing with toys. After talking to the youngster a short time, he said, Well, my little man. do you know who I am?" "Oh, yes," replied the boy, "yoiu're the man who rides in my father's carriage." "Prisoner," said the Judge, "you say your wife hit you on the head with a plate. Is that so?" Yes, sorr," answered the prisoner, who rejoiced in the name of Mulligan, and who h,ad Irish nationality written largely on his features. But," sq.id the Judge, "your head doesn't show marks of any kind." No, sorr," answered Mr. Mulligan, with a touch of pride, but ye should ha' seen that plate. WHAT THE AILMENT WAS. One day Hoar learned that a friend in Wor- cester who had been thought to have appendi- citis was in reality suffering from acute indigestion. Whereupon the Senator smiled genially. "Really," said he, that's good news. I rejoice for my friend that the trouble lies in the table of contents rather than in the appendix." SURMOUNTED. _I xne ionowmg incident described by a traveller who recently returned from China demonstrates the ingenuity of the Chinese in surmounting difficulties. He was about to journey by ra.il to Peking. Arriving at the local station, he said to an official: I wish to take these two dogs to Peking, What is the rate?" No got any rate for dogs," was the reply; "one dog all same one sheep; one sheep all same two pigs; can book four pig." "But one of my dogs is only a puppy; he ought to go fo.r half fare." Oan do, all right." Then, turning to his clerk, the official calmly instructed him: Write three pig."

I MAN MOURNED AS DEAD REAPPEARS A man of 50, named Henri Portier, the father of a family, disappeared mysteriously at Paris last August. A few days afterwards the body of a man which had been in a. field in the outskirts of the city was identified at the Morque by the whole family as being that of the missing man, although his daughter Helene at first seemed doubtful. Still, as a card was found in the dead man's pookete bearing his name, doubt was consi- dered futile. The family went into mourning, and on All Souls' Day the traditional pilgrimage to the cemetery was made in his memory. The day before yesterday the dead man's sister was walking down the Rue de Eivoli when she uttered a cry. There stood her brother before her, or his ghost! Henri Portier, fo rit was he, soon convinced his sister that he was flesh and bone, and no shadow, for he borrowed a franc of her. He assured her that he was ignorant of his own death, for, said he, "since August I have been working as a bookkeeper at Nantenre." He then said good-bye, promising that he would visit his family witbwut delay. He hae not yet dome so, and the mystery is deeper than ever.

RICH MISER'S DEATH I The death of James Ison in the Dartfard (Kent) Workhouse Infirmary yesterday morning at the age of 70 recalls the &tory of how, nearly two years ago, he and his brother, William Ieon, aged 79, were found in Laurel Cottage, Bexley Heath, in a terrible condition. They bad lived there alo-ne for 34 years, avoiding all company. On the death of the elder brother from mortification the doctor who was called in found the rooms so insanitary tha.t he sugge.sted burning all the furniture. Hardly a window had a blind to it, and northing had been done to the inside of the house for over thirty years. The brothers allowed no woman in the house, and bought onJy the barest necessities for themselves. They always left the house together, but when I outside they separated and took different i sides of the road, remaining apart till they returned. When the brothers were discovered deposit notes and securities to a total of EI2,000 were found.

A WOMAN AS ACCOMPLICE Alice Hay ward, aged 25. was charged at Westminster yesterday with being concerned in an attempted burglary at a post-office, amd was remanded in custody. A constable stated that at 1.30 a.m on Sunday, at the past-office in Regency-place, Westminster, he saw the accused youmg woman, with two moo-one of the latter endeavouring to mount the other man's shoulders so as to scale a wall 10ft. h-igh. A third man, keeping watch, signalled the approach of witness, who, thereupon pounced upon the two climbers. The woman, who was carrying two powerful steel "jemmies'' wramped in sacking, jumped on his baClk and bit his finger, which enabled the three men to escape, but he held her. Inspector Snow stated that the woman when oharged, said, "I'm not going to put the men away; if you want them you must find them. I was carrying these things," meaning the "jemmies."

A FATHER'S CRIME I An inquest was held at Brighton yesterday on Frederick Ford, who shot himself and his two children on Saturday; and on Dorothy Miary Ford, his daughter, who died from the wounds. The Widow stated tihot her husband had had no work for two years. Since his return from South Africa be h&d suffered from pains in the head, and he complained of this the day before the tragedy. The coroner said in the oaee of the man it must have been the cause of sudden honlicidal mania. A verdict of Suicide while temporarily insane" was returned in his case. and of "Wilful murder" in the case of the little giri The little boy. Chartes Ford, who was shot, n-jgh^. in. oI"k-m

A Craving for Drink PATIENT'S HUSBAND SUES DOCTOR l. In the King's Bench Division yesterday Dr. Charles Edward Stanger was sued by -A-ir. Frederick Douglas, an electrical fitter, to recover dam,age.s for alleged negligence in the treatment of plaintiff's wife. A verdict was returned for the defendant. Plaintiff said his wife, prior to her illness and death, used to earn 10s. a week by doing fancy laundry work on three days a, week. Defendant was called on because he had pre- viously attended tho woman and Mr. Douglas himself for slight ailments when they resided at Tottenham. Although MTS. Douglas was ?ufferin? from acute Bri?ht's Disease, Plain-I tiQ' complained that the defendant ei?e'r ordeTed her or allowed her to have brandy, gin, ale, and stout, and on one occasion it was said he sent out for a glass of heGT for her. The patient grow worse, an-other doctor was consulted, and ultimately she was removed to a local cottage ho&pdtal, where she died. Defendant emphatically denied that he ordered or allowed Mrs. Douglas to have brandy or gin. She became so much worse that he gave an order for her admission to hospital, and he heard no more of the case till these proceedings were taken. As to the gtaas of beer incident, on one occasion Mrs. Douglas said she had a craving for a gla-ss of beer, and could not eat without it. He said he did not recommend it, but if she had such an intense craving she might have one glass a.nd no more. At the conclusion, of defendant's examina- tion in vhikq, the jury intimated that they were unanimously in favour otf a verdict for him.
