A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET

-Four years ago I suffered severely
with a terrible eczema, being a mass
OF sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After being
given up by my doctor I was advised
to try Cuticura Remedies. After the
first bath with Cuticura Soap and ap-
plication of Cuticura Ointment I en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. I also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time I was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies, as I know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning.

90 MANY girls are trying their
hands upon hat making at home
that few examples of those hats
which are likely to be most success
full in the hands of the amateur, are
interesting just now. These are the
hats made of embroidery or lace or
Swiss and batiste which have come
to be staple for midsummer, and are
known as 'lingerie" hats. New models
this year show many fabrics which
have not been used heretofore. Fine
dimities, lawns and mills, in fact any
sheer, pretty midsummer material,
such as are used for midsummer
gowns, is considered available for the
lingerie hat. The prettiest models
show combinations of all-over en-
broidery and the materials l have
mentioned.
The safest designs for the amateur
are those made Of edgings of lace or
embroidery, either wide or narrow
All the hats are made over wire
frames which are first covered with
very sheer null or with chiffon. This
first covering is either shirred over
the frame or made into fitted casing

AMUSING MEMORY CARD GAME
boards, With Cards to Each Player
Must Remember Prophecies.

This is memory game and very
amusing. It is played with two packs
of cards of any sort, but they must be
exactly alike. One pack is laid in a
heap, face down, in the middle of the
table. The other pack is distributed
to the players, who lay them, face up
ward, in rows. Each player should
have not more than IL cards. as it is
hard to remember more than that.
Any one can begin by giving either
a prophecy or characteristic-thus
Who will inherit fortune inside OF
a year," or, who will be the first in
the room to wear false teeth?" at the
same time turning up card from the
center pile.
Whoever has the card matching
this takes it, lays it face down on top
of the card drawn from the pile, say
ing: II will be the first to wear false
teeth" or whatever the prophecy may
have been.
The next in turn gives character
istic, who has the worst temper?"
or "Who is the most unselfish?" turn
ing up another card from the pile.
This Is matched in the same way, and
the process continues around the
circle until all the cards are matched.
Then the memory test comes. Every
player in turn tries to remember and
repeat all the prophecies and char
acteristics that have fallen to his or
her share, giving them aloud as rapid
ly as possible. He is allowed for de-
liberation on any one only the time

Warm Weather Sleeves.

Warm Weather Sleeves.
Undoubtedly the short sleeves are
here, and it is delightful to couple
comfort with the new style.
In blouses the sleeves come Just be-

every woman is allowed in the natter

over I lingerie gown in the summer
evenings is of black chiffon. cut three

embroidered in a wave design in the

lucky remnant or two the expense will
be sliKht.

Irish Lace Collars.

With the return Of warm weather
the fashion has swerved back to Irish
lace collars. We will wear more of
them this summer than for years. The
girl in her new suit has mostly Irish
lace around the neck. For this reason
she wears a four-inch Irish lace collar
around her coat and four or six inch
one around her blouse, which is COL
larless. This collar dips down for an
inch in front and is finished with q
plated tabot Of Irish lace and linen.

Once the proud duke of Somerset
employed the eminent artist of his
day, Seymour to paint a room at his
country seat in Sussex. Having in
vited the artist to his table, he one
day drank to him, saying:
Cousin Seymour, your health"
The painter replied: my lord, I
really believe that I have the honor
of being of your grace's family.
This hurt the pride of the duke so
much that he rose from the table and
ordered his steward to pay Seymour
and dismiss him. Finding, however.
that no one in England could COM
plete the picture begun, he conde-
scended to send for his cousin.

sage in these words:

Do you want streaked hair of II

If you do not you must make up

the effects Of sunburnt hair
Too strong a dose Of sun acts On the
hair by drying natural oils in tn,

If it is impossible for you to wear a

the scalp to counteract this drying
effect.
Remember that the most beautiful
hair in the world comes from the

their heads covered with their little
