"About the latter part of July my

My hair began to fall out and my

skIRT-HANeERs EASILY MADE.
Set Makes an Acceptable and Suit
able Gift for Bride.

A set of clothes-hangers makes an
acceptable gift for bride, a traveller
or a college girl The set consists OF
waist and skirt hangers-a dozen OF
each. The best waist-hangers are
those of coppered wire, found at any
furnishing store. They should be
wound with narrow ribbon, finished
with tiny bow at each shoulder end.
The skirt-hangers are easily made at
home. Take an inch strip Of pine
wood. Cut 1t into eight-inch lengths.
Wind these also with ribbon. Screw
into the middle Of the upper edge a
fairly large-sized brass cup-hook, and
two cup-hooks of smaller size near the
ends of the lower edge to hold the
loops of the skirt-band. Many closets
now are provided with small brass
rod fastened across at convenient
height. The hangers are hooked on
this. Closets sometimes have a shelf
running across for the entire length.
In that case three large cup-hooks can
be screwed to the under side, to hold
any sort of a rod, from brass to broom
stick. 1t Is astonishing what a num-
Der of waists and skirts can be hung
without crowding on a rod four feet
long.

NEW FANCY IN EMBROIDERY.
Blederpakler Has Many Qualities to
Recommend II.

One of the latest fancies in en-

style simple embroidery that was in
vogue before the idea of many tones
of color. While different tones are
used, only one tone appears In sin.
gle figure. The embroidery is on
linen, for table covers, scarfs, pillows
and other useful articles.
The designs are stamped, and with
each piece comes the quantity and Sc
lection of threads and colors to use.
One of the designs, for instance, is
for pillow cover. In the center Is q
wreath, and below this at either side
an orange tree or similar conventional
figure. The wreath is of green leaves
and roses. There are roses Of three
or four different shades of pink, but
only one shade Is used in a rose. The
one shade of yellow Is all that APP
pears In the oranges. -
In the center of one wreath Is a
miniature portrait, the bonnet of one
color, the dress of another, the drapery
of third. In the center OF another
wreath Is portrait in silhouette Tin
profile and all black. 1t would be
quite easy to make this silhouette por-
trait that Of the glver or the recipient
and thus give an added value to the
pillow
The trend of the day Is to make
fancywork less difficult than formerly
and to that end are many parts of en-
broidery that come ready to apply to
the foundation of whatever Is used.
This more simple embroidery will be
eagerly sought, not only for the ease
with which it may be accomplished,
but because it is particularly suitable
for room having mission furniture.

GOOD METHOD FOR SKIRTS.
Simple and Effective Way Of Arrang-
ing the Tucks.

There Is a simple way to save fu-
ture trouble in finishing the bottom Of
skirts for young people from tots to
half grown girls. 1t Is better than
letting out tucks in the usual way
when the plain spaces usually come in
the wrong place.
With this plan, which may be used
whether there are or are not other
tucks, the tuck is laid directly over
the hem, making practically two hens,
which, after being pressed, have the
appearance of one.
and easy way to accomplish 1t, the
way in this case being to turn the
lower edge of the goods back and
forth in three folds. First. turn under
the tiny raw edge on the bottom of
the skirt and then turn under the hem
two and half inches deep, which
makes the first fold. Double this back
on the right side the same distance,
creasing the second fold. The three
layers of the cloth are then turned
back under again, which creases 1t the
third time. This forms tuck directly
over the hem. When ready to stitch
turn the tuck up and stitch twice, put
ting one row of machining under and
one over the middle crease.
When ready to let the dress down,
rip out the top stitching and the hem
Is ready and undisturbed.

WHEN EGGS ARE SCARCE.
Ways In Which Housekeepers Can

The housekeeper expects eggs to be
high at holiday time, just when she
wants to make extra good things, but

and the lack OF eggs Is not quite so
serious as 1t might be. When eggs
are nearly 40 cents dozen at the be-
ginning Of September, as they were
this year In the large cities, the price
has decided influence on the daily
menu. The first point in which to be-
gin economy of eggs Is in serving
them as a substitute for meat. Some
thing at less cost can temporarily be
taken by giving the matter a little
thought, although eggs are so staple
a part of the usual breakfast as to

When eggs are scarce 1t Is not nee

out one or two and expect to have a
satisfactory result, for the proportion
of materials has been changed. 1t Is
greater wisdom to select a recipe in
which the number of eggs is smaller.
mo egg cake is seldom satisfactory,
but there are many good cakes made
with but two eggs. Raised hot breads
can for time take the place of muf-
fins and other breakfast cakes made
with eggs, yet even here 1t may not be
wise to entirely omit them, for pan

NERVOUS DEBILITY
4 Scranton Woman Tells How Or.
Williams' Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strono.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t Is characterized by mental depression,
fits Of the "blues," or melancholy, loss
Of energy and spirits. The patient g eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that 1t is difficult to recall dates and
names Mt will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies i'll toning up the nervous
system md there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DIR.
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane J. Davies, of No. 814 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa., says: "Some
years ago l became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that I felt
wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as was when /
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when I
sat down. My nerves were ON edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then I
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now have no more
pain in my side, 10 more headaches, I
sleep we'll and feel strong and able to
do my work."
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other. weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into hopeless
decline. They strike straight mt the root
OF all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt OF price, 30 cents per box, six

shoulders-from the coathanger upon
which 1t was carefully kept whenever

Coathangers should always be COW

All this SO far was done freely, with

But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
