CASE SEEMED HOPELESS BUT CUTICURA CURED HER

Words cannot describe the terrible eczema suffered with. It broke out on my head and kept spreading until it covered my whole body. l was almost a solid mass of sores from head to foot. | looked more like a piece of raw beet than a human being. The pain and agony l endured peemed more than could bear. Blood and pus oozed from the great sore on my scalp, rom under my finger nails and nearly sa .fSd all oyer ,nS mS swollen I was afraid they would break ofY. Every hair in my head fel! out. l could not ait down, for my, clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding flesh. making me cry out from the pain. My family doctor did all he could, but l got worse and worse. My condition was awful. did not think could live, and wanted death to come and end my frightful suffsrings.
 hIn this condition my mother-in-law begged mo to try the Cutlcura Rom ediss. said would. but had no hope of recovery. But oh, what blessed re- lief experienced after applying Cuti- c,ra Ointment. It cooled the bleeding md itching flesh and brought me the fir1t real sleep had had in weeks. It was as grateful as ice to burning tongue. ! would bethe With warm warm the Ointment freely. also took Cuti- cura Resolvsnt. for the blood. In a short time tho sores stopped running the flesh began to heal, and knew I was to get well again. Then tho hair on my head began to grow, and in . short time l was completely cured. l cannot praise Cuticura enough, wish l could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cutioura. My condition Was so terrible that what cured me cannot faii to cure anybody of this swfui diseose. If any one doubts tho truth of this letter, tell them to write to me. Mrs. Wm.

LONG, DELAYED TASK


one OF the satisfactions OF the rainy
day in autumn is the opportunity It Of
fers for the accomplishment Of long
promised tasks in comparative quiet. This
IS the day OF all others when we rather
resent the visit which we choose 70 call
IAN interruption"
Each busy housewife and home seam
stress has her own way Of preparing for
this quiet family day, whose hours leng-
then out delightfully."- while the raindrops
patter on the porch roof just outside the
sewing-room windows.
one resourceful woman has disclosed
her little secret, which Is the pre-ar-
ranged sewing basket. She has planned
out and cut into every available gar
nent in the belief that their accomplish
ment is practically assured on the COM
ing rainy day, il they have had this
advance beginning.
Sewing often Is pushed aside and in
definitely delayed for very want of a good
beginning, and one Of our needle women
tells us that her plan Is TO use the rainy
day itself for countless beginnings.
This has a systematic and business-like
ring, and many woman who feels that
quiet should reign undisturbed for the
inour.sntous beginning of the long-dream-
ed-f IL garment win adopt this latter plan.

:-:WOMANkIND:-:
Knitted Norfolk Jackets Are
Economical as Well as Practical

Black satin or velvet or corded silks are
used as a finish TO coats of all sorts
Tor girls and even for boys of al ages. But
the trimmings remain simple and the
preferred form is simple bias band edge
or a piping of the silk or satin.
Among the economical garments for
school wear are the popular knitted Nor
folk Jackets and REFER. They are offered
by all tailors, but mothers at distance
who have the time to knit may readily
make them at home. Girls Of all ages
wear such coats in gray. white. scarlet,
green, or the brown shades, Some are
handsomely bound with black satin and
closed with crocheted buttons. The yarns
that are necessary for knitting them
come in all the standard and fashionable
shades. The little single-breasted coat is
an especial favorite. Some, however, are
double-breasted. They all have roomy
sleeves and turnover collars, that may,
upon occasion, be turned up around the
neck. Knitted coats Of this sort are worn
over kilt skirts and plain blouse waists.
The plain and fancy pinafore and the
jerkin and tunic-sailor suits are prefer
able for the children who are still in the
kindergarten. All are simply cut and easy
TO make. The dress OF the moment for
the small girl or boy hangs i'm long pleats'
tucks or shirrings from the collar-band
TO an inch below the knees; or lin the
girls dress) the skirt is attached to a
yoke which passes straight across the
front Aprons, too, are made with this
straight-across yoke which may be as
long or as short as desired. Practical lit
lie "cover-alls'' are fashioned OF checked
gingham or of cotton prints. The latter
give great satisfaction for home wear.

RIdH RIBBONS ADD

MUCH TO A WOMAN
Ribbons need but the merest added
touch Of elegance each season to push
them into unusual prominence. They are
always tempting 10 the woman shopper,
and this seasons output, designed especi-
ally for fancy work. is more than usually
rich. The fashion for brocade has touched
the silk surface of many beautifully tint
cd ribbons and left them literally sprinis-
led with flowers, leaves. and sprays.
Heavy ottoman-corded ribbons are
printed with flowers upon their white and
delicately colored backgrounds.
Heavy satin ribbons are now turned
and twisted by the deft fingered into
roses for hats and corsage bouquets.
Smaller rosebuds are made of the mar
rover widths for festoons and wreaths
for evening dresses, an imitation of grand
mas party frock.
sashes for young girls are cleverly
made of two long strips Of FIVE or six inch
pompadour ribbons sewn together, with
an insert Of dainty lace between the two.
The idea is repeated in an apron made
of several widths OF ribbon Joined with
wider lace, and in various party bags Of
Dresden design, with inserts Of gauze rib
bon between the wider material
These little gauze ribbons echo the
color OF the flowers in the Dresden pat
tern.
