BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps

boxes Of ointment, gave him blood

him, but he got worse all the time. He

HANDY FOLDING KNIFE CASE
Can Be Easily Made at Home Out Of
Flannel, Serge or Green
Baize.

Every one does not happen to pos
sess a case of cutlery, but most people
like to keep a second set of knives
and forks for special occasions. If
care is not taken in storing them, they
easily become rusty, and the ivory of
the handles turns bad color.
A simple little case, which allows
each knife, big or small, to be kept
separate from its neighbor, can be
easily made at home out Of a broad
piece of flannel serge or green baize.
Cut the cloth about two feet long,
bind the two sides with braid to match
the color of the material and double
one side over lengthways till the edge
reaches to within few inches of the
other edge Machine-stitch up the two
sides and bind them with braid Then
stitch down the double part at equal
distances, allowing sufficient space be-
tween each row for inserting a knife.

One tasteful and economical way OF
dressing has been adopted by certain

selection Of a special color, which
should be becoming to the wearer,

other color is worn throughout the
season so that the hat and acces.
