Show A SCENE AT THE BALL. Among the gay maskers that crowded the floor at the Arion Ball on Tuesday evening was one lady who apparently defied all efforts at detection. She seemed familiar with notable people, and her frequent mention of their names and associations fairly puzzled them to locate her identity. When masks were taken off, and recognition followed recognition many good jokes were laughed over when discoveries were made as to personality. ---- But amid all this scene, no one seemed to recognize the strange lady masker, her face was devoid of all disguise, and while she still persisted in calling many by name, none seemed to know her, until at last a gentleman with whom she was in conversation exclaimed, "Why, you are Mrs. _____ (mentioning the name of a lady well known to our theatre-goers for the past thirty years). What have you been doing to yourself? You look - well, certainly not over twenty-five. (She is double that.) This is, without exception the most wonderful transformation scene I have ever witnessed." "Well," replied the lady, acknowledging her identity, "I don't mind telling you, or anybody else for that matter, for I do not believe in keeping so important a matter secret, particularly when my own sex can receive so much benefit. You know very well how wrinkled my face had become, and how many great horrid red freckles I had, and in fact I was becoming generally passé. I had used, in old times, various cosmetics in my professional capacity, which while being of momentary benefit only aided in proclaiming my advancing years, so that I had almost lost confidence in preparations of this kind. Quite recently I have been reading about Gouraud's Oriental Cream, and though of little faith, determined to try it, having the Arion Ball in view, I commenced its use about three weeks ago, satisfied that, as Dr. Sayre had given it his endorsement and the Board of Health had exempted it from condemnation where so many other preparations had been forbidden to be sold, and the proprietor actually did not hesitate to place it in his mouth, that no very great harm could come from its use. I went to the principal office, No. 48 Bond Street, and after a conversation with the lady in charge, purchased a package. You see the result. I am not ashamed of it, and while the world at large knows my age, they cannot say I am not a handsome woman. Since I ihave commenced its use, its merits has led me to inquire, and I find it is sold by all first class Druggists and Fancy Goods Dealers throughout the United States, Canada? and Europe, and have noticed on visiting Macy's, ???, Bloom's, Stern's and all the leading stores where ladies trade that it is for sale on their counters, and, from the inquiries I have made at those places, find it has outsold all competitors. You are safe in recommending it to your lady friends, for here you can see its good results" - and, taking the arm of her escort, who came up at that moment, she was whirled off in the dance, the observed of all observers. - New York Evening Express. <br<>br> IT IS suspected that Robinson Crusoe's brunette chum was a German. At any rate, the family name Freit?? Survives to this day. <br><br> SET BACK 42 YEARS. I was troubled for many years with Kidney Compaint, Gravel, &c, my blood became thin, I was dull and inactive, could hardly crawl about, was an old worn out man all over, could get nothing to help me, until I got Hop Bitters, and now I am a boy again. My blood and kidneys are all right, and I am as active as a man of 30, although I am 72, and I have no doubt it will do as well for others of my age. It is worth a trial. - Father. <br><br> GILT-EDGE BUTTER MAKER. Makes July, August and Winter butter equal to best June product.

I have used it in two cases of obstinate skin disease, one of intolerable itching, Prurius, the other an Eczema. In both great relief was obtained. Its emollient properties are remarkable.
