Epilepsy,
Fits

"My son was cured of very
bad case of epilepsy with DR..
Miles Nervine."
MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, 0.
"My little daughter who was
afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
is now entirely well after taking
DR.. Miles Neryine only four
months"
MRS. C. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

. Rack for Postcards

though the lines are not kept square,
should be made of two pieces of card
board, each so that they may be suf-
ficiently strong. The cardboard is hol-
lowed out at the top. the oval holes
are cut in short distance from the
top to make the handles, and feet are
cut from the two lower corners. The
pieces of board are then sewed together
and covered on both sides with tapestry
or with plain material which should
be trimmed on the outer side with a
wreath, bouquet of ribbon flowers or
embroidery, or perhaps with small
French engraving framed in gilt gall
loon. Along the edges of these end
pieces three Sits are made at equal in
tervals, and on the bottom edge two
more Sits of similar size. These are
for the ends of the bars.

edged with gold braid or with narrow

of cards are formed by cord or gilt or
heavy silk, which is slipped through
small brass rings sewed inside along
the sides of the rack. The cords are
slipped through the rings on each side
and tied or fastened with clasps.

Social Amenities for the Schoolgirl

belong to the Il don't care class
This class is a large aggregation or
girls who are not really as Indifferent
as the phrase sounds. Indeed, they
are not indifferent at all. but have
fallen into the ways of using the ex-
preston gut of politeness.
For instance. when you take them to
a restaurant and ask them what they

Now, they do care, for every live girl
has her preferences, but some of them
think that they must not express~them
out of courtesy to the hostess. This is
mistaken politeness and the don't

slant annoyance to her hostess, who
either has to decide for the girl or help

r. OR holding collections of postcards
girls who are interested in amateur
carpentering and cabinet making,
or, to use the more modern phrase, in
manual training, are now making very
useful and at the same time ornamental
racks which hold large number Of
cards and keep those from different
sections of country separated. The
racks are made of wood and have three
bars at each side and two bars on the
bottom. At the ends are square pieces
of wood followed out at the bottom to
form two ornamental feet, sloped out
at the top to make a more ornamental
line and with oval holes cut in the cen
ter near the top, which form handles
by which the rack may be lifted.
There are spaces cut in these solid
wooden ends through which the side

upper side bars are perforated with
round holes at regular intervals.

Linen Belt Purses

4 MONG the dainty little accessories
a of dress that are used by the girls
of today few are as convenient and
fill as long felt a want as the linen belt
purses. In these days of no pockets
the question of how to carry little
change is often a most difficult one, and
especially is it so in summer. when the
girls go around so much in thin dresses
with no hats and coats. Many times
little money Is wanted. and how is
girl to carry it? The linen belt purse
is simple and safe solution of the
difficulty.
These purses can be bought, but most
girls make their own. and nothing
could be more acceptable when one
wants to make little gift for a friend.
The purse is quite easy to make, and
may have only plain scallops embroid-
cred around the edge or may be quite
elaborately embroidered with solid
French work or eyelets or combina-
ton of both.

We0r Felt Hats NoU

= oLLOWlNG the style set by French
matrons, the young women of New
York have already abandoned straw
and lingerie hats for felt, beaver and
velvet millinery and instead of wearing
wash dresses during September have
adopted chic cloth costumes in the new
est autumn colors to correspond to the
hats.
This unusual haste in discarding
light summery headgear is not sur
prising when one sees pretty toques,
trimmed with huge wings, and the be-
coming Louis XVI tricornes, that are
so stunning and practical for fall trav-
cling, exhibited in the shops
Judging from tho millinery displays
and the shapes alredy seen in the
streets and in fashionable hotels and
restaurants, debutantes will wear small
hats. For those in the Henri II type,
the moderate military turnup brim, the
Coligny style and the beret toque are
favorites.
OF course, a few shapes with wide
brims will be worn, but the edict from
Paris is small hats" and young Amer
lean women. having used big mats Tor
several seasons, seem delighted with
the change and are rather rushing the
season" to put on the latest styles.
A characteristic feature OF the au-
tumn designs is the big crown, and this
is most pronounced because of the sharp
contrast between crown and briR, for
as the brim has become narrower the
crown seems to have Increased In
height, So that when surrounded by
big wings it looks large
Trimmings, however. are compare
lively plain. for big handsome wing
or two wings caught to the crown with
folds of satin ribbon or rosettes of
velvet are used almost exclusively.
These decorations have tailored
look that the young woman who affects
tailored suits will be pleased with. In
cidentaliy. though the ornamentation
is plain the style with which it is
placed upon the hat gives an air that
is unmistakably smart and that can
not easily be duplicated in cheap mill
linery.

hostess is to give you pleasure. and
when you Indicate your preference she
feels happy in providing the thing you
most like. But when you say you do
not care what you have she is all at
sea. for she does not know your taste.
and you make it necessary for her TO
suggest one thing after another until
she finally hits on something you think
you will have. This gives her a lot of
unnecessary bother, whereas if you ex-
press your preference at once every
thing goes smoothly. If it happens
that you really do not know what you
want. ask your hostess what she is go
ing to have. and then tell her you viii
try the same thing. This decides the
matter without discussion and the or
der can be promptly given.
AS house guest the don't care" girl
is often a most annoying young person.
though her offenses are unintentiOna1
and she is quite unconscious of them.
But her unwillingness to make deci-
sions is a constant tax on her hostess
If she doesn't care whether she goes
swimming or motoring, and>is equally
vague about everything of the sort she
is always on the mind of her hostess
whereas the girl who expresses her
preferences when she is asked can be
arranged for without the slightest
trouble. So. IL you wish to be popu-

which ornaments and mementos may
be kept. or on whichs some particular
ly choice volume may rest in elegant
seclusion. There should be a shelf
built across the top or the door and ex-
tending over these corner brackets to
complete the design.
If you don't particularly need book

the space with wall pocket or, rather,

the necessaries are packed in the most

pretentious log camps, having their
built-in hunks or balcony bedrooms,
are in favor of the rustic couch, and
where their fir beds are not built on the
ground they are often set up on the
wide porches. either on the lower or
upper floors.
For rainy nights a sleeping tent
should be provided or the framework
can be set up so that in a very few
minutes the fir beds can be covered
with canvas roof and everything kept
dry.
Fir beds retain their freshness and
elasticity several days-two or three
weeks sometimes-but whenever the
upper layer of boughs begins to dry
and crack the smaller pieces can soon
be replaced by fresh ones. Naturally
the boughs settle a little from the
sleeper's weight and if the original
height of the bed is to be maintained
new bits of fir should be added from
time to time.
