Doll House lIbrarv

A search for child's short story, The Griffin and the Minor Canon. [" In a volume all by itself revealed 10 a persistent city shopper the thought and money that are expended on the furnishing of dolls houses. Book stores had not the story in a single volume, but in a department store one young woman interviewed had re- gently been transferred from the toy department and was able to contribute a helpful hint.
 T think" she said. you can find 1t in one of the dolls houses downstairs. "
 Curiosity had by that time become a sauce to literature. so the shopper hurried downstairs to inspect the doll houses. Three et the most expensive houses contained libraries consisting of a score of dlmlnutiye books and each book contained a chIlds story complete. One of them was "The Griffin and the Minor Canon"

This fairly electrified the critics. but when going into rhap- sodies over the technical skill in han ding the clay which Mme. Bernhardt exhibited they showed that they knew little of the artistic tricks of actors and actresses; as a matter of fact, she does nothing of the kind The bust Is modelled and baked, and over it is placed damp clay of the same color This the talented actress merely pulls of. exposing the beautifully modelled head underneath

LEG A MASS OF HUMOR

About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that began to scratch 1t, and 1t began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and 1t was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, 1 would have to scratch it until I had the blood running down into my shoe. II simply cannot describe my suffer Ing during those seven years. The pain, modification. loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply inde- scribable on paper and one has to ex- perience 1t to know what 1t Is.
 T tried all kinds of doctors and rem edies but l might as well have thrown my money down sewer. They would dry up for little while and i'll me with hope only to break out again just as bad If not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuti cura Remedies a trial After taking the Cuticura Remedies for little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuu- cura Resolvent in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment. the trouble had entirely disap- peared and my leg was as fine as the day was born. Now after lapse of six months with no signs of a recur- renee feel perfectly safe in extend Ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me I shall always recommend them to my friends. w H.
