SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May Be Obtained In One Might.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable
Treatment-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuttcura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light ban
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis--
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment Is most effective

Marriage Her Only Recourse.

In factories of the lower type the
girl operative is almost certain of dis
comfort, nervous exhaustion, disease
and premature old age. The lottery Of
marriage offers her a way Of escape
from these things, says Robert Haven
Schauff1er in Success Magazine. So
she escapes, but at some risk to her
self, to the community and to the
America of the next generation.
How do American factory girls feel
about the marriage question?
Rather dubious. All in all, they con-
slider matrimony a profound failure.
So far as l can determine, only three
of them in every ten believe that more
marriages turn out happily than I'M
happily.
But there is another question about
which many seem to be still more du-
bious That is the question of staying
single.
Marry"
Helen D. burst for a moment into
cynical laughter. Then the weary lines
came back around her mouth.

of this"
She was just seventeen and small
for her age, but her features looked
twenty seven. She stopped and
coughed necessarily, and her worn lit
tie hands would not be still.

ONE BET PAID
ANOTHER BET LAID

About two years ago handsome
young hardware clerk. and a newspa-
per man who isn't either young or
handsome. were walking down Okla
waha avenue. when they met a young
married couple. the worser half of
which was sheepishly but proudly
pushing baby carriage. The clerk
made some plying remark about the
man who was harnessed to such an
eIuipage. whereupon the journalist
said. I'll bet you an oyster supper
you'll he pushing one yourself in less
than two years"
Ihe bet was promptly accepted II
looked good to the newspaper man, for
the clerk was popular with the girls
very much SO with some Of them But
he had such love for oysters that he
deliberately broke the hearts Of two or
three charmers in order to secure that
anticipated feast on the acephalous
molluskS.
About year ago the newspaper man
gave up hope and began saving his
money to pay the bet. The debt was
cancelled at Dewey's Saturday night
the newspaper man. the clerk and a
mutual friend kept the cook and wait
ers on the jump for the best part of
an hour. The clerk was too happy to
talk. the newspaper man was reasona-
bly, cheerful under the circumstances
and the mutual friend beamed on them
both. When the feast was over the
clerk bore the pleased expression of a
boa constructor which has just swal-
lowed a peccary.
AS they arose from the table. the
newspaper man said. iii relay you
that bet for two years ahead"
Done" said the clerk, and so he is
sure to be kept out Of trouble for quite
a little while yet.

mere Will include such excellen, plays
as The Gay Deceiver" Our New Sec
Rotary and "A Romance Above the
Clouds"
Every play that Mr. Peruchi has Sc
lected is good one. but probably il
would not matter very much what
sort OF play he brough, with him. He
Is able to make people laugh and
laugh again. no matter what the cir

always proves himself a favorite with
the theater goers. In each Of the plays
to be presented on Monday Tuesday
and Wednesday nights. and the We'd

Miss Gypzene have a splendid vehicle
and one that gives them all the oppor-

The FrOlics Of 1910" which will be
presented tonight. is a high class So
clety comedy that is decidedly cleverer
than the average, The story deals
with the divorce question in a most
original and interesting manner. The
very interesting but simple story that
runs through the FrOlics Of 1910 pro-
vldes great many very strong as well
as amusing situations. Miss Mabel |
Gypzene will be seen in the leading
role and in the part she shines with
her own brilliant lustre and in her own
lnlmitable manner. The play is one |
that never fails to please and one
leaves the theater feeling brighter and |
better for having seen It, Miss Gyp-
zene is an actress Of marked talent and |
personality and many think
her work in this role 20 be her best |

with him that is fatal to ill-humor, and |
he is always amusing on the stage |
whether acting a funny part. singing |
a song or telling some hard luck story |
in that fearful voice Of his, Both he |
and Miss Gypzene are great favorites |
in Ocala and they wal doubtless be
