Of a mantle.
With day dress the scarf often
matches the hat, and with evening
costume may be of the same material
as the dress. Both these points are
distinctly new and are indicative Of a
far reaching vogue.
Scrafs which match the dresses
are made of chiffon, satin and CASH
mere de sole. A notable instance of
matching scarf with evening costume
was seer in a debutante's toilet OF
pale blue chiffon, with woven border
! of broad satin stripes. This border
| formed the trimming, and the wrap
or scarf was formed Of a full width
of the chiffon, showing the border on
each side draped in bedouin style
and worn carelessly over the Shout
| ders throughout the evening.
Many of the new scarfs are fringe
trimmed. Very beautiful. are those
| made of the coarse mesh nets of both
silk and metal trimmed with heavy
fringes made from lacet braid. Many
of the scarfs are draped in the be-
douin cape style at the back, the point
being weighted with a tassel. This
drapery gives a more graceful outline
to the scarf when worn and makes 1t
more becoming.
Other novelty forms show the scarf
shirred or pleated in the centre back,
| where it is held in shape by a large
ornament Of rich embroidery. The
increased favor shown the hammered
metal scarf is very apparent. Entire
evening NANTES and coats are formed
of these set together in artistic de-
sign.

OQCl CutlCuId Curtu ILL.,.
II was troubled by a severe itching and
dry, security skin on my ankles, feet, arms
and scalp. Scratching made it worse.
Thousands of small red pimples formed
and these caused intense itching. I was
advised to go to the hospital for diseases
of the skin. I did so, the chief surgeon
saying: Il never saw such a bad case of
eczema But I got little or no relief.
Then I tried many so-called remedies, but
/ became 50 bad that I almost gave up in
despair. After suffering agonies for twelve
months, I was relieved of the almost IN
bearable itching after two or three applica-
tons of Cuticura Ointment. I continued
its use, combined with Cuticura Soap and

THE CITY'S FINANCES.

The report Of the city auditor upon
the finances of this municipality for
the ten months of 1909 to October
Slst makes very fair and satisfactory
showing Il, clearly indicates that the

even at the end Of the year, the credit

is precisely what The Tribune rcckoned
on its own account a few days ago in
speaking generally on the city S finan-
cial condition Large sums in the cur
rent years taxation are yet to come
in. and The overdrafts, where they
exist, will doubtless be made good, while
those funds in which there IS Il sur
plus will have a yet greater surplus.
1t is eminently satisfactory TO have
an official showing like this, in view
Of the persistent back-capping of the
opposition press, and the efforts OF that
press to warn settlers and investors
away by their outcry of corrupt mu.
uicipal management, of bankrupt
treasury, and all the rest of their point
less, indicative misrepresentation.
The city is doing very we'll indeed.
IL has put in an immensely of public
improvements the present year, and is
going right along with plans for the
coming yenr on quite as elaborate
scale as heretofore. The natural and
reasonable thing TO do is TO connect the
north and south streets cast and west
Of Main with the paved streets run
ming east and west, as far as that paw
ing extends. This Will make complet-
cd checkerwork of paved streets within
the business and oldest residence dis
tricts, that will be very much to the
credit Of The city and that Will make
favorable impression upon all Wis
itors and prospective Investors,
The city has never done so well in all
the period of IFS existence as it has
done since the American party admin
isiratlon took hold in January. 1906,
with progressive improvement and
growth which is increasing al an ac-
celebrated rate year by year under the
