From the New York Sun. She was a bride of two years standing and he was her husband.
 Her clothes were beginning 10 be dis graceful but no money appeared to be forthcoming for their renewal. She had turned and twisted here gowns. making over the skirts and putting the sleeves in upside down, right side up, and every other way but inside out, until the only thing to do seemed to be to buy some new ones.
 Her shoes matched her gown and so did her hats.
 This is a thing which frequently hap pens to brides of two years standing
 It was about o'clock in the morning He had finished reading his paper and was about to start down town. May I go with you?' she asked tim I idly. "and look at the hats and things in the window?"

He took a birds eye view of the abbre- viated height of her. "I should say so,' said he. Near by was another window. Here Eton jackets prevailed and shorter wraps altogether. "You can never tell what the styles are going to be-" remarked she, lightly
 "Some shops show long coats. some short, some medium. I believe each shop has l style of It's own purposely, so if can ad- vertise itself, so they can tell you to buy your things there" 1 "So you can tell2" he demanded to know.
 "They" answered she timidly | q never could understand, declared he | with some ferocity "who that they means" at the same time hurrying her up

sat down. My nerves We're on edge all
the time. every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable Then 1
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began TO Fall Out-Wonderful Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

About the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. l did not
take much notice of it at first, but it
began to get worse all the time, and
then 1 began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but l became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as 1 would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and it
was not long before l could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and l
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks 1 would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and 1
kept getting better and by the time
I used four boxes of Cuticura l was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. D. E. Blankenship, 319
