skin came on. The doctor was sur
prised and said that he would use
Cuticura for his own patients. have

NO WONDER HE WAS SCARED.
Costume Suggested Would Have Made
Youth Look Like Circus Freak.

Not long ago large clothing house
in New York received letter from
the remote southwest to this effect:
What is the proper dress for a
groom in the afternoon"
The clerk who opened the mail re-
ferred the inquiry to the livery depart
ment, and the head of that department
dictated a brief reply:
Bottle green coat, fawn-colored
trousers, with top boots, silk hat and
cockade. We can make you prices"
In about week came plaintive
note:
Il always knew it was expensive to
get married, but can't you suggest
something a little less elaborated"
