When Required.

There is nothing on earth like sys-
TEN, and nowhere do you realize this
more than in matters of dress. The
tiny hole in your stocking that you
might have mended in two minutes
grows into an undarnable run" the
rip under the arm in your new blouse
extends alarmingly; nothing that must
be mended stays where 1t is put"
The remedy for all this is regular
mending day or a regular mending
evening If you are business woman
AS soon as a garment needs mending
If it be only button or a hook that
must be replaced, put 1t aside unless
1t is so necessary that you must at
tend to the trouble at once, and when
mending day rolls around do the re-
quired sewing You will be surprised
to find how much lighter your work
becomes when you can thus catch
rents and tears at their start instead
of at their disastrous finish. The 9TH
er point to remember is to always
have your sewing implements where
you can get them and in perfect order
Do not wait until the very moment
for mending to find that you are out
OF white thread or that your needles
are rusty. When thing needs re-
pairing, repair It; when 1t needs re-
placing, replace it. 1t might even be
well to have preparation" day to

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago had places break

scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. I would scratch those places
until they would bleed before could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep,
and 1 would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it dry
eczema" l used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but it did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, l felt anxious
to try to head it off. got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what needed.
"The disease was making great
Roadway on my system until l got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of its pest, and am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and l hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"

Normandy Needle.

A special needle, called Normandy
needle. is necessary for one of the
new kinds of hand work-punch. 1t is
called-used on table linen or gowns.

as in the Bermuda fagoting. The pat
