Mrs. Sage Travels Light"

The well known simplicity Of Mrs.
Russell Sa.ge's personal tastes re-
ceived a.further exemplification a few
days ago. when she landed in New
York on her return from a visit to
the Pacific coast. That she would
not be burdened with an extravagant
amount of baggage was to be ex-
pected, but few women even of hum
BILE means would think it possible to
travel 5000 miles from home as
light" as did Mrs. Sage. The. bag
gageman to- whom her checks we're
handed, and who learned her identi-
ty thereby, insisted there must be a
mistake when only one small trunk
and a leather valise were forthcom-
ing for transfer to Mrs. Sage's Fifth
avenue home, and all her require
ments for the run across the CONT
nent were contained in two small
handbags. The possession she
guarded most carefully on the train
was a pot of Easter lilies, a gift from
a little Pasadena girl, who boarded
the train there to bid her goodbye.

Her Scalp Etched Intolerably.

Just. about two years ago, some
form Of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was e slight itching,
but 1t grew steadily worse until; when
I combed my hair the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most d the
time there was an fntoterable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to heal.
Combing my hair was positive tor
ture. My hair was long and tangled
terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. I was
In despair, really afraid Of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake. I would
scratch the worst places 30 that my
finger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then I would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said itmust be salt rheum.
Having used Cutfcura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, ! nowedecfded to
order a set Of the Cuticura Remedies

Gated, but toward spring eighteen
months ago, there was a slight return
Of the scalp humor. I commenced
the Cuticura treatment at once, so
had very little trouble. On my scalp
I used about one-half a cake of Cutf-
cura Soap and half a box of Cutfcura
Ointment in all. The first time I took
six or seven bottles of Cuticura Pills
and the last timethreeb ottlestnefth-
er an expensive or tedious treatment.
Since then I have had no scalp trouble,
of any kind. Standing up, with my
hair unbound, it comes to my knees,
and had 1T not been for Cutfcura I
should doubtless be wholly bald.

The BrotherIess Girl.

The grown-up brother of the FAMILY
often~has a role assigned him--,a role
he does not take up Voluntarily
that of matchmaker for his sisters.
And I reckon it is his blissful uncon-
seriousness that enables him to play
the part to perfection.
The b%rotherless girl has fewer
chances of meeting eligible men, and
when she does the opportunity OF Gull
tivating and fostering the acquaint-
ance may not be forthcoming.
True, she may have a matchmak-
ing mother, but tins is often a handi-
can rather than a help.
The unwilling benedict too often
discerns the par: that a maneuvering
ann is playing in the affair and
resents it. But when one or MS
friends takes him home to dinner or
invites him for a week end visit he
goes without being in the least aware
of the danger there might be IN 1t
for a freedom loving bachelor.
The brother is usually blind to the
charms of his own womenfolk; that
the idea of any one falling in love
with them never strikes him, and
when at last he realizes the truth ne
does not always approve of it.
But the brother has no longer any
part in the matter; his work is done
Decidedly the girl with brothers

speaking, than the girl without. She

Present For Baby.

One of the prettiest baby presents
we know of is the hood and cape, and
there can be devised nc more neces-
sary garment for throwing round the
little one.
Plain challis, French flannel & fine
cashmere will make a beautiful care;
perhaps the last named is the most
satisfactory.
There are two ways of making a
comfortable cape. 1t may be lined
with China silk or left without a
lining, but in either case the hood
demands a soft lining against the
head. A twist of ribbon passes
round the back of the neck on the
outside, holding in the fullness of
cap and cape and ending in a rosette
at each side of the tiny face.
From this point hangs an end of
ribbon to tie the cape together at the
throat.

Correct Ways to Sign Names.

COETcCI ways W SiSh ~hN
Dear Miss Schuyler:
Should q married woman use
Mrs in signing letters, or should she
use her maiden name with married
name? I would like to know the rule
for all correspondence, business, &C
quaintances and friends. I have en-
joyed your articles so much.
"A CONSTANT READER"
Only when brackets are used may
a woman write the prefix Mrs" or
Miss" to her name when she Is sign
ing a communication.
If she is corresponding with per-
sons who are strangers, whether the
matter be business or personal, she
may frequently write her note in the
third person. In business it is al
ways advisable to do this. For in
stance. If a woman wishes an article
from the grocery or dry goods shop
she should begin the letter by saying
MRS. Howard Van Sluyck wishes"
etc. The address is then placed at
the bottom of the note. Should she
write in the first person to a shop and
wish to sign her name she may do it
in either of two ways. If she pre-
fers to use her individual name the
signature should read "(Mrs.) Mary
Ellen Van Sluyck" or Mary Ellen
Van Sluyck," putting directly beneath
it in brackets "(Mrs. Howard Van
Sluyck.)"
The latter, that is, both signatures,
is the form always to be employed
when writing in the first person to
social equals who do not know the
name. For example, a woman may
have occasion to write to another wo-
man about a servants reference and
the n receiving the letter, being a
total stranger and perhaps never hav-
ing heard of the writer, must be
treated with the utmost formality,

fore, the writer should sign her note
as she would to a friend, putting be-
meath it her married name.
An unmarried woman, having but
one name, would sign hers in full,
putting Miss in brackets beside it.
I can think Of no place, save on a
hotel register, or when writing a Wis
iting card, that a woman signs her
name with its prefix, without brack-
cts. When she wishes to use her
married name, that is, her husbands,
her own must be written in full with

With his bill, and he toiled
To smooth and to polish
Each disarranged one. .
He pulled out the stray ones,
The ragged and gray ones,
His wee little body
He shook in delight,
He eyed himself gravely,
. Then, satisfied, bravely
A whistling sonata
He gave with his might.
ooh, Dick" cried the lass,
'Shall I buy you a glass?
You're all the time fussing
And primping, I swear;
You're all the time shining
Your feathers, or dining,
To make yourself pretty
Seems only your are
The way that you slick
Up your feathers, now, Dick,
And spend so much time
On your looks is absurd,
You vain little, proud little,
Stuck up young bird"

And reached down somewhere
For q soft channels rag,
And she powdered her nose,
