DAINTY AND USEFUL GARMENT.
Wrapper Intended for Wear on Trains
and Steamboats,.

Something altogether satisfactory
has been evolved in the way OF a
wrapper for wear on trains aud steam
boats. This need has been OF long
standing. Most women travellers have
solved it by having black china silk
| robe, either to slip on over the sleep
ing gown, or to take its place.
Now, however, there is the innova-
tion mentioned. which is negligee of
and navy blue and may be ordered in
any light shade. pink, blue. mauve.
etc. 1t is built somewhat on the H.
mono order, with fiat facings and a
large flowing sleeve. The silk ia the
most durable of any, and folds into
no space at all. thus making wrap
per unsurpassed for travelling pur-
poses. for which use the dark colors
are largely intended, while the dam
tier shades are lovely for lounging
robes at home. Across the shoulders
are laid shirrings. which hold in the
fullness. Below the yoke the folds
fall tlnconfned
Another departure in nes!isees is
the automobile kimono. This is a
silk dressing sack. of three
quarter length. fastening with ribbon
bows, and folding up into a small
silk pocket to be carried in ones bag.
This is designed to slip on when the
motorist wishes to remove blouse and
freshen up couture. or take q nap, at
stopping places on the route.

Every woman naturally should be

are deemed better than currants by
some cooks, while candied orange or
lemon peel, little cold tea or coffee
may always be added with advantage.

no store room facilities, this amount of
mince meat might have to be halved

me that I was suffering from neural

affected. SO that at times l could

kept-without watering-in a strange

heaithful condition?
But II 1t were the only trouble there

there was really no cause for anxiety
1t is the effect of constant association
during the formative period of a
child's life which Is the most to be
dreaded.
Let grown person Of ever SO sunny
a disposition live one year in house
where all the family are given to wor.
rying and watch its effect on herself
She probably would not realize Its In
fiuence until she had gone back to her
friends and heard them comment on
the change time had wrought upon her
sunny disposition, but even after sc
short a time she might find 1t impos
sible to go back to her old belief that
everything happens for the best in
the long run.
Let us, therefore, try to remember
that worrying will not help US in any
way. and that 1t is sure to magnify
our troubles. Let us try to look al
ways on the bright side. because 1t is
the best side.
Half the difficulties that seem quite
unbearable when we fret about them
would disappear like mist in the sun
shine IL we were to laugh at them.
This is the lesson we should teach
our children. but We cannot do 1t by
precept. 1t must be by example. Nor
can we expect good effects unless we
are uniformly cheerful. for one hour
of worry will undo the good work OF
two hours of sunshine. because II

1t is often desired to separate post

This can be done by dipping the

the stamps and separates them. so
that they can be easily pulled apart.

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply
stefan for an obstinate case of &C.
zema, / resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was so well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble.
I'm July of this year a little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
a mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment, and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In.
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So we have lots OF
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu
ticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Liz

Vulnerable pitfalls to the physical vel
