Sensitive people suffer acute discomfort when their irritating cough interferes with their own enjoyment and that of others. This is cften painfully evident when listening-in' or when at the
theatre or concert. But immediate relief from such troublesome coughs may be had by taking an 'Allenburys' Gly. cerine & Black Currant Pastille. They clear the throat and allay irritation

THE CHARM OF HANDBAGS."
MAKING A WISE CHOICE."
To the casual observer a hand- bag is merely a receptacle in which women, who will not submit to the tyranny of pockets, carry with them most of the things they want during a day's activities or an evening's amusements.
From the point of view of the woman who knows, a handbag can" be much more than this.
It can be a note of colour, a dash of chic, or a camouflage for the fact that everything else between her head and her toes is a trifle passé, and that only her hat, her bag and her shoes are new, and of the moment. It can also upon. ócca- sion, embody a clever compromise between the things she would like to be and the things this ironical life we lead thrusts upon her.
The baga of the present time are evidently very conscious of the many moads they must be prepared to macet.
For the daytime they may be made of tweed or of leather, or of other fabrics as well, but not so noticeably.
For the evening they may be made of almost anything except tweed.

Rest should not be limited to the physical body. In the early days of an illness and during the zerious days of all illnesses, mental quiet and emotional calmness are equally and many times. more im portant than just lying in bed and Laking medicine.
This mental and emotional re- laxation is often destroyed by friends in their desire to show that they are sympathetic.
When the patient is ill, either from a disease or an accident, he is fighting for his life. Whether this fight is a skirmish or a battle depends upon the nature of the difficulty: but in every combat it is essential not to exhaust the strength of the fighter with pur- poseless actions.
Another misplaced kindness is the sending of flowers. Many times a small fortune is spent it flowers while at the same time the invalid is wondering how he is to pay bis hospital bill. In a sick Toom space is limited. Keeping | cut flowers in the room vitiates the air and is harmful to the patient. Also flowers are usually sent during the acute stage of ness when the patient is in no con- dition to appreciate them; and times the odour of the flowers is extremely distasteful to the patient."

There followed a chorus of con- tradictory comments from most of the women present-und one or two of the men joined in.

Apparently there still are some men who teseut the intrusion of a college-trained woman in their office. They can't retain their feel-. ing of masculine superiority when a pert young woman corrects their spelling, firmly reminds them of business engagements when they want to run-off and play golf, and does her work so competently and quickly that they have too little to Bcold about.

ENGLAND IS A MAN'S COUNTRY.
FEMININE INTERESTS UNFAIRLY SACRIFICED.
This is a man's country, run by men for the benefit of men. I have found nothing in England quite so astonishing as the way English women allow themselves to be sacrificed and pushed into the back ground.
The dominance of man extends throughout the length and breadth of England, but is nowhere a noticeable as in the country, In London, I and, young women can afford to be a little more indépen dent, though few of them actually ore. They can go together to the theatre or cinema; taxicabs, for those who can afford them, remove all difficulties in the way of get ting about, and any woman keçn about dancing can have as much as she wants if she cares to attend tea
