Why Should
CutiCura Soap?

"There is nothing the matter
with my skin, and 1 thought
Cuticura Soap was only for skin
troubles" True, it is for skin
troubles, but its great mission is
70 breOent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its deli
cate emollient and prophylactic
properties have rendered it the
standard for this purpose, while
its extreme purity and refreshing
fragrance give to it all the advan-
tages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping
the hands soft and white, the hair
live and glossy. and the scalp
free from dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making
its use, in practice, most econom-
ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere,
but the truth of these claims may
be demonstrated without cost by
sending to "Cuticura," Dept. G,
Boston, for a liberal sample
cake, together with thirty-two-
page book on the skin and hair.

'"AFF NIFTY EARLE
FINDS IN ENGLAND
A THIRD SOUL MATE
Her Name Is Dora, and
Couple Is Now Spending
Honeymoon in Europe.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Once more
Ferdinand Pinney Earle, discoverer
and promoter of the affinity" has
found a heart attuned to his own. The
new Mrs. Earle, with whom the artist
is now circling the world on his third
honeymoon, is known here only as
Dora 1t Is known, however. that she
is the daughter of an eminent archi-
tect of Workingham, England. Earle's
own soulful description, contained in a
letter just received here, is:
Dora, the dearest, sweetest, loveliest
of them ALL"
Earles first adventure in matrimony
was with Emile Fischbacher, whom he
dismissed for Julia Kuttner. Miss Kutt-
ner was the original affinity" She
later became Earle's bride, and their we'd
ded bliss was without alloy until Earle
attempted to choke his affinity wife,
and admitted II in court The episode
landed Mrs. Kuttner- Earle in the dis
card, and Earle Immediately began the
quest of new affinity, whom he found
IN young sCulptress. Marriage did not
crown this attachment.
According to his present plans. Earle
and his new wife will reach New York
next year.
Barely Escaped Violence
The village of Monroe. n. Y. where
his handsome home is located, is much
interested. for when the Kuttner ep:-
sode occurred, the artist barely escaped
mob violence.
From the meager details which
the impassioned bridegroom has
gathered that his latest matrimonial
episode, like the two Others was a
case of love at first sight. In fact,
Ferdinand himself admits as much.
They met, loved and were married,
all in is short a space of time as
the law allows.
Earle left these shores last March.
Mrs. Earle No. 2, who was Miss Julia
Kuttner, had managed to obtain a
decree annulling her marriage just
after Christmas, and the artist dis
cretely waited till the decree had be-
come final on the lapse of ninety days
before adventuring in fresh fields and
pastures new.
The legal bubbles having been prop
erly put to rest on this second oc-
casion, Mr.. Earle settled down in
London, first making sure that the
loose meshes of his affinity net had
been made secure. But nothing came
within reach that seemed worthy of
capture.
Meets Third Affinity.
Presently Mr.. Earle wandered a lit
tie more afield. Windsor Forest and
its purlieus seemed to offer promising
sport, and one day as he wandered over
the Hindhead a glorious grassy knoll
in Surrey, he met her.
There was no doubt about it. The
beautiful Dora, with her laughing
brown eyes and wealth of auburn hair,
was surely intended for him, and he for
her. Their souls met, as he has told
the friends to whom he has intrusted
the great secret. when they first glanced
into each others eyes. Prolonged court
ships are not pleasing TO Mr.. Earle. The
artist spirit breathes in him so restless
1y that what Is to be done must be done
forthwith. ard 1t was an added bliss to
find that she felt just that way, too.
1ntroduCtOns and explanations to Miss
Dora's parents followed as quickly S
might be. a special license was pro-
cured, and 10! there was a third Mrs.
Ferdinand Pinney Earle.
