NJ. Jules Claretie tells a pretty story
about the first use Of the fan m France
as an implement Of coquetry. In prehis-
toric days, he says, when France was
peopled by FIRE worshipers. the king of
what is now Paris was the father OF a
princess Of great beauty. Princess Mia.
Il was her duty to watch over the sacred
fire and coax it into flame with her Gan
when It was dying down. One day she
had forgotten her fan and blew upon the
clnders OF the FIRE. It leaped up toward
her and ever afterward refused 10
brighten except when the princess blew
upon it. On the day when she discovered
this the princess used her fan 10 hide
her bushes. for she understood the secret
Of the holy fire. which had become en-
amored of her charms.

And Suffered Annually with a Red
Scad-Like Humor on Her Head.
Troubles Cured by Cuticura.

when my little Vivian was about
six months old her head broke out in
boils. She had about sixty in all and
| used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her entirely.
Some time later a humor broke out be-
hind her ears and spread up on to
her head until it was nearly half COW
cred. The humor looked like scald,
very red with a sticky, clear fluid COM
ing from it. This occurred every
spring. I always used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment which never failed to
heal it up. The last time it broke
out it became so bad that was dis.
couraged. But continued the use OF
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resell
vent until she was well and has never
been troubled in the last two years.

took great pride. She picked the yell
low buzzer off the window shade, the
usual faint, crushing sound was heard
and the old lady smilingly held the
dead body up for our approval We
showed proper admiration for the
fear but still regretfully preferred to
slap the little flends with board.

we notice the swollen finger, and dis

hoe all the snakes she could find and
