The meeting usually takes the form

Mr.. Orio Tamura, as we will call

years old. an article in the Wide
World says. He Is an up-to-date jap
anese, and has put off all thoughts OF
matrimony until this comparatively
late date-for Japan-in order to fin
ish his university studies. Now, how
ever, he has finished his training. and
has intimated to his father, as a duti-
full son should, that he would like to
marry. That is all he is required to
do, at present; it is the business of
his parents to take the next step.
Orio's father, presumably, has some
quiet talks with his wife on the sub
ject, and then betakes himself to a
professional matchmaker, or go-be-
tween. These marriage brokers are a
class apart-discreet men of the
world, with a good deal of insight in
to human nature. For the sake OF
his own reputation and future the
go-between usually does his best to
please all parties.

west, love laughs at restraints, and
somebody or other conveys a hint to

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed. for the itching vas dreadful. He
would . irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything. but
the eczema seemed to spread. It
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. l
used them in the morning and that
evening, before l put my boy to bed,
/ used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be SO much less. l used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
a return of the eczema.
II took care of a friends child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and
I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

did on my son and 1t has never re-
