when she came in here and calmly
asked me to make hat for her dog

Tape said he heard that the wo-
man, who bore every indication OF
being able to pay for her fads. had
called upon other miliiners in New
York to ask that they design hats
for her pet. He said he had not
heard that the contract had been let.

We now hear of the ultraviolet cure.
In the dispersion of light into it's various
colors by means of prism We get the
hues from the strong red to the mild
blue or violet. Beyond the violet is a
color invisible to the naked eye, but made
visible through the pilot ographers plate.
1t is called the ultraviolet. Now. it is
this invisible ray that is made use OF i'll

The peculiar physical trouble to which
it is applied is the lupus, an ulcerous or
cancerous patch that eats away the flesh.
1t is said that most remarkable cures OF
this malady have been made by the APP

entfsts are studying the remedy to the
bottom. One cannot refrain, when con-
