length Of them. ] took her TO a ply
sician and he said that she had two
distinct types Of eczema. / continued
with him for several weeks and the
child grew worse all Of the time. Her
sisters arms were also affected in the
same way. My husband came home
one day with a box Of Cuticura Oint-
ment and a cake Of Cuticura Soap. l
began using them and also the Cuticura
Pills and by the time the second lot was
used their skin was soft and smooth az

Heart toHeart
Talks,
BysHDwT A. NYE-
THE WOMAN OF II.

George Albert of New York loved
Dora stelnmesser Of the same place.
He told her SO.
Miss Steinmesser. a beautiful girl,
did not reciprocate Albert's affection
and told him so.
Albert was filed with despair, and
he thought about the refusal until he
was nearly crazed. Meeting the girl
on the street, be threw acid in her
face.
The girls beauty was almost spoiled,
and her eyes were endangered.
"The brute. The sooner such a man
goes to the penitentiary the better.
He ought 10 be kept there the remain
der Of bis natural life TO make sure be
will not spoil the beauty Of some other
girl" Ne
That is the man of IT.
But strange woman heart! Miss
steinmesser says, "Now know he
loves me-"
Caring nothing for him before, she
now says she will do all she can to
keep him out Of prison and IL be does
go she will wait for him and marry
him when he gets out.
That is the woman Of It,
II the girl does not change her mind
and does marry Albert she will make
a great mistake. A man whose wires
get crossed ike that would be dan
gerous man to live with.
But
The incident serves TO reveal the
| gentleness Of a womans heart. And
it shows that above all things a wo-
man wants to be loved for herself. A
woman may desire money and social
position, and desire them very much
but she yearns most of all 70 be loved
for her very self She may barter love
for other things. but will always know
she has cheated herself.
Affection alone will appease the hun
ger in woman's heart.
lt is customary for men 10 say nc
man can ever really know a woman
They call her "the riddle Of the uni
verse;" enigma. sphinx and Other
names. That is a mistake.
You can read the most sacred secre
Of any womans heartily loving her
But you may clothe her in purple anC
fine linen and put her on a throne al
queen and she will never be satisfied
until she is sure that some man love
sser for herself alone.
Therefore say It is easy to read tn
inscription on sthe utmost depths OF {
woman's soul
And by the. same token it is easy L
make any woman supremely happy
How? Love her aud-prove it.
