SCRATCHED so SHE COULD
NOT SLEEP

81 write to tell you how thankful I
am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem
edies. My little niece had eczema for
I'VE years and when her mother died
I took caro- OF the child. 1t was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched SO that she could
not sleep nights. I used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and then ap-
piled Cuticura Ointment. l did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re
solvent, when you could see a change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. My
friends think it is Just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura. I
send you a picture taken when she was
about 13 monAs old.
aShe was taken with the eczema
when two years old, She was covered
with big sores and her mother had all
the best doctors and tried all kinds of
salves ard medicines without effect
until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs.

Clever Joke of Kind King.

correspondent at the Press club in
New York.

morning, in company with his host,
Lord Arthur Savile, he took: q walk
over the preserves.
Suddenly Lord Arthur, a big burly
man.. rushed forward and seized a
shabby fellow with a dead pheasant
p%rotruding from the breast Of his coat.
"HSir,' said Lord Arthur to the king,
this fellow is a bad egg. This is the
second time I've caught him p%oaching.'
But the kings handsome face
beamed. and he laughed his gay and
tolerant laugh.

The elastic belts in different widths
are more popular than ever.
Coarse Russian braid Is used q
great deal for trimming coats aad

The chantecler is found embroid.

hosiery.
The ;tiniest of roses are used for
trimming caps of muslin or lace for

A box pleated quilting Of net is the
finish at the wrist Of a pretty sleeve

Ribs of brass as well as Of gilt and
white enamel are seen in some of the
sunshades.
Separate blouses of black net with
lace insertion are worn over an under
; blouse of white.
Very attractive, indeed. are the
coats Of wooden poplin. While white is
the ~favorite color, the material may
be obtained in a wide range. OF COL
ors.
The Scotch plaid ginghams were
never more attractive than this year.
For children's frocks and for gowns
for the girl in her teens they are un-
surpassed.
Hosiery matches ones bathing suit
in color. Either the white or black
slippers or shoes are worn. If the
suit is trimmed with black. that is
the color Of footwear selected.
Many Of the new coats have the
fronts cut without a break at the
waist line; the back, however, is
fulled a trihe at the waist line and
pulled into a satin or leather belt.
A band of insertion or embroidery
or a stitched band Of the material OF

Among othc- trihes of dress that
have gained in importance since the
opening of the season is the sash.
Special ribbons in weayes as soft as

Some OF the most stunning clasps
for evening coats are made OF large
canoes. Canoes are used, too, for
! giving smart touches to evening
gowns, serving to hold the drapery

Chinese, japanese and Roumanian
embroidery appears on many OF the
linen and silk costumes in the patches
of color that bring into distinctive
evidence the influence Of the East and
the Importance Of hand embroidery.

CHAMELEONs.

Chameleors can be kept alive Tor
years by making a frame to fit over a
plant in a fowerpot and covering it
with mosquito netting, which must
be long enough to tie with a string
about the pot. Keep the pot in the
sunniest window and water the plant
every day through the netting. You
will be surprised to see how eagerly
the little creatures will drink the run
ming water after they get over their
fear. Set a wire fytrap for flies,
which you can liberate under the net
ting. The chameleons will not be
backward about helping themselves.
In winter they do not require much
food, but will relish a meal worm oc-
casionally on sunny days. Meal
worms can sometimes be got at the
grain stores for the asking, or car be
purchased st the bird stores, or
small spiders can be found in cracks
and crannies, asleep for the winter;
they may be frozen stiff If found out
of doors, but they revive in a warm
room.
Chameleons enjoy a place to sleep
in nights and winters. Take a piece
of red flannel four inches wide and
eight. inches long; roll it over a stick
as large around as your finger, and
sew it while on the stick so it will not
come unwound; then slip off and run
q wire through 1t long enough to sus-
end it from one Of the branches on
the plant. The chameleons will crawl
into this cosy bed and so to Sleep

Cleanliness of Ants.

No creature is more tidy than an
ant, who cannot tolerate the presence
of dirt on her body. These little
creatures actually use 4 number OF
real toilet articles in keeping them
selves clean. A well-knQwn authority
says their toilet articles consist OF
coarse and fine toothed combs, hair
brushes, sponges and even washes
and soap. Their saliva is their liquid
soap, and their soft tongues are their
sponges.. Their combs, however. are
the genuine article and differ from
ours mainly in that they are fastened
to their legs. The ants have no set
time for their toilet operations, but
stop and clean up whenever they get
soiled.-St. Nicholas.

I course after it is cutout some smooth
ing of the edges will be necessary.
You may wish to color the bed with
crayon or water color, and this will
make it more attractive, although a
white or brown boz makes a better
bed without being colored.
A mattress to fit the bed may be
made of a number OF thicknesses OF
newspapers. There should be enough
of the newspaper to make the matt
tress come up to the top of the sides
Of the bed. When the mattress has
been made cut the sheets from plain
white paper. Fairly thick white pa
per is best, but this is sometimes diff
ticult to get in pure white, such as
should be used for bed linen. Tissue
paper will co if You cannot get TIE
thicker white paper large enough.
If YOU use tissue paper first cover
the newspaper mattress with it, so
that the black will moi show through.
The sheets are long enough to tuck
il at top and bottom and sides.
After the sheets have been made
you may make the pillows. These
may also be made of newspaper. The
pair of pillows should be large enough
to fit exactly in at the head of the
bed. Cover them with white paper,
using mucilage to make the pillow
cases. Then have shams of the paper
also, with scalioped edges and en-
broidery.
To make the embroidery, fold the
sham in -four sections. You make sew
eral small triangles, squares or cir
Giles, and when you open the sham
the design will be uniform.
A Counterpart for the bed may
be made in tie same way. This
should be just large enough to fit the
top of the bed and the edges all seal
loped. Fold the Counterpart and cut
a design as yor: did for the sham.
Also cut q design in he centre of the
counterpart. If made of heavy white
paper the spread will look like a
heavy linen one. II you make it Of

lower edges. This causes the bottom
of the box to fall out except at the
four corners, which form the feet. II
O leave the 5ottomin there it makes
the bed stronger.
AS you see, the lcTer edges are not
cut very Far from the floor. If your
box is eight inches long and four
inches deep less than one inch is sufd-
Gent to cut away the lower edge.
The upper end Of the bed is left
high to make the %neadboard. 1t has
panels drawn or painted to make a
design. The .%foothoard is cut off
about half an inch to make a differ
ence between it and the %headboard.
The sides are cut down about two
inches. as shown in the design. This,
in the size box referred to, leaves
about an inch of cardboard along the
sides.
The springs to hold the mattress
are made of a piece of cardboard not
quite so wide as the bed and enough
longer to turn over at both ends and
stand on the floor, not quite so high
as the les of the bed. To turn the
end run a knife lightly owe the card
board, but do not cut half way
through. The board will then bend
easily. The springs Or mattress sup
porter is then placed inside the bed
and stands on its ends, reaching al
most to the toD'o o the sides.
You may find difficulty in cutting
the cardboard. II so, after YOU have
drawn the lines for cutting take a
large darning needle, or the point OF
a knife will do, and make holes on the
line all along. You will then be able
TO cut out the design very easily. or

Any trimming on the SHIT comes

either applied directly on the skirt or

A favored fashion is to tie the skirt

the deep hem.
The fine cloths, however, and the
silks are without trimming.
Skirts of house gowns are cut in
what is known as the round length
that is, they are made to lie down
on the floor about an inch or so on the
front and sides, but are longer in the
back. This is a graceful length and
will prove generally becoming.
AS many of the new house gowns
are made with deep hens and under
skirt effects in 4 solid color, it is we'll
to have the skirts as long in the front
as comfort will allow in order to pre-
serve the height Of the wearer. for
nothing cuts the length of the figure
more than horizontal lines between
the belt and hem.
The fashion of holding down the
train in the back with a long motif
Just above the feet is awkward, bat it
is novel, and so, I suppose, women
will want to try it. Only slender
types should attempt it, for, given a

happier choice.-Ellzabeth Lee, in the
