THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X N»- 160 social Salad PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR SUNDAY’S CALL. THE ANGEL OF PATIENCE. To weary hearts, to mourning homes, God’s meekest angel gently comes ; No power has he to banish pain, Or give us back our lost again ; And yet, in tenderest love our dear And heavenly Father sends him here. There’s quiet in that angel’s glance, There’s rest in his still countenance ! He mocks no grief with idle cheer, Nor wounds with words the mourner’s ear; But ills and woes he may not cure He kindly trains us to endure. Angel of Patience 1 sent to calm Our feverish brows with cooling balm, To lay the storms of hope and fear, And reconcile life’s smile and tear ; The throbs of wounded grief to still, And make our own our Father’s will! O thou who mournest on thy way, With longings for the close of day, He walks with thee, that angel kind, And gently -whispers, “Be resigned; Bear up, bear on, the end shall tell The dear Lord ordereth all things well! ” ■* * * The average man would laugh to ■corn the assertion that the tailor made girl has quite as many tantaliz ing things to contend with in dressing herself for that “simple smartness” characterizing her as be himself has in arranging his own faultless linen. He doesn’t dream how well groomed femininity has many times a week to suppress wrath akin to that which so freely bubbles between his own lips because of the same aggravating ca« prices of an inoffensive looking collar button. It never enters his mind that the (etching Ascot has perhaps caused her to storm up and down before her mirrors, calling on the gods to come down and help her tie the thing. He knows well enough the myriad of fenses of his own neckgear and the wrath with which he has pounced upon his laundiy king, but the stay little thing at his side—why, of course, she does not know what trouble is. The tailor made girl has to avoid the least suggestion of “flufliness.” Her hair should not look fluffy, nor the feathers on her hat. Her shirt waist is hopeless if not thoroughly severe, and her tie must receive just the right twist. I have known a girl to spend a solid hour wrestling with stiff collars that simply refused to button, first one, then another. Her arms ached and her neck was scratched with the tying. When at last a tractable but tonhole was discovered the tiny gold button disappeared and she thought it had rolled under the rug or behind the cosy corner. Then a search for that began,for it happened that she had no other button. It was simply that or none. I shall not dwell upon the detail of that eeach, but the but ton was discovered at last in a hat box. What tailor made girl has not stood before her mirror hopelessly en tangled in the meshes of an Ascot tie —that simple little string that persists in twisting itself into an “old maid’s knot,” or wiggling the wrong side out? The tailor made girl’s boot string take« advantage of her dependence upon it and breaks just as she is making a hurried toilet. Not another pair to her name, and just twenty minutes to keep her engagement! He. hair pos itively refuses sometimes to part straight, and one persistent tress makes her a half hour late at the play. A button deliberately flies off her coat as she starts for the door, or No Right to Ugliness. The woman who is lovely in face, form and temper will a’ways have friends, but one who would be attrac tive must keep her health If she is weak, sickly and all run down, she will be nervous and irritable. If she has constipation or kidney trouble, her impure blood will cause pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complexion. Electric Bitters is the best medicine in the world to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to purify tbeblood It givesstrong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich complexion. It will make a good looking, charming woman of a run down invalid. Ooly 50 cents at Hai ris dt Son and Carlisle & Ward’s drug store.

But the man who cannot afford this frequently finds himself at a standstill. It ends by his having rooms that are ordinary and show little taste. There is a suggestion in the bedroom of a certain New Yorker, who achieved charming results at very little expense- His room is a symphony in green. Very dark green chintz covers the walls. His bed is green, his dressing table green, his carpet matches these. Down to the smallest de.ail this color scheme is carried out. Even the brushes and combs are green. r * * Mr. and Mrs Carlton Jones enter tained a few friends very charmingly Monday evening.

The next meeting of the club will be the first Wednesday in April. * * * Miss Gussie Demister was the hap py hostess at an informal, but exceed ingly pleasant card party Monday evening.

Conduct of Negro Troops The conduct of the negro troops mustered out of service in firing their pistols from the trains and commit* ting other disorders i« highly discredi table to the race We think the negro has demonstrated hie unfitne-e for ser vice in the army, and especially a* volunteer troops under colored offi cers. The comparativelj fi volunteers have given the country more trouble than all the while troops combined The negro was given a fair chance to demonstrate hie fitness for the du ties of a soldier, it being thought es pecially desirable to have negro troops for duty in Cuba, as it was believed they would stand the climate there better than the white troops. The dis graceful conduct of the few negroes ■ent to Cuba after the war with Spain had ended on the Eland so discour aged the war department that it ap parently abandoned its original inten tion of sending a large number of ne gro troops there for police duty This action was wise, and doubtless pre vented a great deal of trouble. The Cubans do not seem to like the American negroes realizing that ne gro troopa would be a constant source of trouble and Hanger on the island. The conduct of lhe negro troops on 8) many occa«ious in thia country has been so disgraceful that the war de partment will hardly accept many negroes as.troops in future —Columbua Enquirer. ■ * Excellent Combination.

Many persons show bad blood by a breaking out of pimples, sores on tongue or lips. Many persons’ blood is so bad that it breakes out in terrible cancer on the face, nose stomach or womb.
