NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

my little son. boy Of five. broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc

getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but Its treatment did no good At
the time I was induced to try Cuti-

his hair of and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin OF with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking.. I began to think that
he would never get well. but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs of improve.

applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled of twenty
times. but it finally yielded to the

COMBINING LACE AND BEADING
Slight carslessness or Lack Of Prepar-
alton Sufficient to Mar the
Result

When lace and beading are to be
sewed to thin materials. such as mus
lin dresses or underwear of any kind,
1t must be carefully and thoroughly
done to produce good results. Lace
edging nearly always has a stout
thread in the selvedge which serves
admirably as a gathering thread. Pull
this thread and stroke the gathers to
make them even. Roll the edge of the
material and. holding the lace and
edge together with the thumb and fore
finger of the LETT hand. with the lace
nearest you. overcast the two together
with firm even stitches. When sewed
to straight edge insertion can bs
sewed in exactly the same manner. but
to let insertion in. to form a design,
flrst baste the material on the right
hide to form the desired design, and
hem 1t down on both edges. Cut the
material from underneath the inser-
tion, leaving narrow strip on each
side OF the insertion. Crease this
strip back from the insertion toward
the material and turn as for a hem.
Overland this, taking stitches close to
the line Of the hemming.

THREE hats of excellent design are
shown for those who are wearing
mourning. 1t will be noticed that
the shapes are small or moderate in
size, that the designs arc simple but
the workmanship intricate and beau
tiful. These characteristics are what
the wearer should look for when pur-
chasing mourning millinery.
The first hat. small round turban
with rolling brim, is made Of tiny
folds Of Grape laid in parallel rows on
circles about them or four inches in
diameter. These are applied to the
crown and brim which have pre-
viously been covered with Grape laid
on plain. The wire frame is covered
and lined with silk and the hat is
finished with a wired bow of taffeta.
A rolled border of Grape sometimes
binds the edges of such bows and
makes a very handsome finish for the
ornament.
