6 THE AMERICDS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: TUESDAY. MAY 5, 1S91. HNM Sacl.tr tlMMM It u' said that a congressman cannot lire on loss than $3,000 a year in Wash ington. I happen to know that it costs a society reporter a nice round sum. 1 am aa economical as I can be, bat my expense* creep np in spite of me. In the first place there is the car and the cab fare. Washington is a city of magnifi cent distances, and any one who goes into society has to travel from one end of it to the other, over and over again, in making calls. I walk when I can. bat I hare to pay from $3 to $0 a week daring the gay season in car fare. As to dress, there is another big item, though Washington has so many different peo ple from all parts of the world that one can wear any sort of a decent gown and not be oonipicnona Then there sre the gloves and the shoes One's hands and feet most be well dressed whatever the rest of the ~may be. I find that it always pays to wear good gloves. And then the cards. Of coarse the lady correspond ent most use the engraved card, and what a lot of them it does take. Five hundred is nothing, and I know of some ladies who ose many thousands during the season, and Sir Julian Pauncefote once ordered 10,000 within two months As the cheapest engraved cards cost a cent apiece this would represent $50 a month for cards alone. Of count 1 do not mean to aay a society reporter needs any snch number, bnt they cost enough. -Mi— Grundy's Letter. Cushions Galore. Cushions seem to be the perennial de light of the avenge woman. This is an age of cushions, and her soul rejoices in t»wn- The saddle bag cushions still ex ist and are likely to, as they have hap pily solved the “tidy” problem. Thorn wretched things, abhorred by mankind, are gone, it is hoped, never to retain. Bnt having hung the saddle begs over the backs of our chairs, there must still be cushions galore for window seats, couches, corners, to fit in uncomfortable angles—cushions unlimited and of every variety. The melon cushion looks rather pretty If it is well made, bnt the acorn cushion is newer and is being shown at the art shops. This, which is of coarse many times the size of its forest proto type, has the acorn of pale green silk and the cup of darker green, which is pat on rather fall and sewed down in spots to give the raised, uneven look of nature. Another pretty combination of the acorn is reddish brown plush and pale yellow silk. A loop is sewed for the stem to take bold by. There well defined shapes, however, cannot be recommend ed as satisfactory for general m*ar. Plain, square, oblong, oval or round cushions last longer in every way, and can bt so different in material and deco ration as to supply the needed variety. White silk .cushions wrought in gold embroidery are used in very dainty apartments, but their delicacy hardly fits them for cushion Dyspepsia has become the most com mon disease of the country; all classes sre not exempt, attacking tlie young as well as the old, caused no doubt from our mode of living and tbe too free use of tobacco, etc., and yet it is one of tbe most difficult diseases we have to en counter. in the last five years Dr. Holt discovered a remedy, (Dr. Holt's Dys peptic Elixir), np to this time baa not failed to cure in a single instance- We can refer yon to W. A. Wright, Comp. Gen. of the State, Judge K. F. Lyon, Mr. George Dasher, Macon, Gs, Dr. L. P. Dozier, Georgetown, Ga., Mr. Jos. Har rison, Columbus, Ga., and hundreds of others If desired.

So cure no pay. Manufactured by Dr. Holt's Dys peptic Elixir Co., Montezuma, Ga. ap21-lm The Atlanta street car company, which recently purchased the consoli dated lines for*800,000 have returned the property for taxation at $301,000. Comptroller-General Wright says he will see shoot it Hawkers snd Peddlers. What ear-splitting cries we hear daily In the streeta of every large city ! But these itinerant dealers who hawk their wares about are, when under proper re striction, a useful portion of the commu nity, and not such nuisances as the ca tarrh hawkers. This is a stubborn dis ease to conquer, but Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Bemedy does it. it It mild, sootbingand antiseptic, unlike snuffs that Irritate, or solutions that burn. It corrects offensive breath, and restores taste, smell and hearing. Nasal catarrh often ends in consumption. Apply the only cure in time. Price SO cents, by all druggists. Three teachers institutes will prob ably be held In Georgia this summer- one In north Georgia, one in middle Georgia, and one In south Georgia. The locations have not yet been determined. DO SOT SCPPZB ANY LONGER.
