rain is needed badly, especially the

some time ago, now perhaps one
fourth bale being a fair average

they injured their cotton by blowing

LITTLE COATS ARRIVE
pARISIAN FAD HAS "cAUGHT ON"
IN AMERICA.
coatees, Casaquins and Caracas Arc
Characteristic Features of Present
Fashions-Give Air of Distinc-
tion to Costume.

Frenchwomen have accepted the
little coatees, casaquins and caracos.
which were one OF the most charac-
teristic features of the empire day
dresses.
They made their first appearance
short time ago and, since Dame Fash
ion has declared her preference for
empire and directoire styles. they
bounded at once into popularity. In
fact, Paris has gone quite mad over
them-a way the inhabitants OF that
fitful city have of doing when any new
fad in dress is introduced.
That being the case, 1t is only a
question OF time when the style will
become quite general here; in fact,
few of them are already seen on wo-
men who have recently returned from
a trip abroad.
They are quantity picturesque and
simple in line, but possess a peculiar
quality that adds just the right note
of distinction to the costume.
Imagine, If you can, the attractive
ness of a perfectly plain skirt of pale
blue and white taffeta. cut over six
gore model, with panel back and
front and having a raised waist line,
with the bodice taking the shape OF a
little coatee of pale blue voile. finished
at the high waist with a small rounded
basque mounted on thick cord Gov
cred with plain blue taffeta.
The coatee finishes In the back with
two long coat-tails of irregular length.
cut square at the bottom and finished
with a narrow ball fringe which also
bordered the basque.
The front of the coatee crosses in
front and is fastened at the waist with
a small fat rosette of tiny pink rose
buds. the V-shaped opening being bor-
dered with a collar of finely pleated
lawn edged with blue: little guimpe
OF transparent tulle fills in the V.
Although seemingly perishable. they
really last a remarkably long time.
They give a softness to the throat
that is unobtainable in any other way.
Many of them are made of flesh-col-
ored tulle, which when worn with at
ternoon frocks gives them the appear
ance of being decidedly decollete.
With evening gowns for semi-dress oc-
casions they are wonderfully effective.
To return to the coatee. these little
garments are made of figured silk or
satin combined with plain skirts, or
vice versa. Others are OF cloth, vel
vet. marquisette. chiffon or even net
,jned with delicate shade of satin.
The cut can be varied to suit the
Wearer but thew all are made with the
snort e.-pire waist and elbow sleeves.

TWO CURED OF SKIN TROUBLE

81 have suffered from birth with
of the best doctors that could be
found, without any lasting effects.
Then l used several kinds of patent
medicines, only growing worse in
stead of better. After using them a
long time l was so bad that it took
the hair off my head, and even my
eyebrows too, and made my eyes so
bad that / was kept in dark room
head for long time. A friend told
me to get some of the Cuticura Rem
edies and she knew they would cure
me, so l got some packages of Cuti-
cura Ointment and Resolvent and
used them and was cured. This was
about two years ago, and l have never
had a touch of it since.
ALSO my husband had had salt
rheum for twenty-three years, and
after l had such wonderful cure
through the use of the Cuticura Rene
dies, he sent for some Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment and Resolvent, and
used them himself and he was cured.
His flesh was covered with stuff like
fish scales, especially in the winter, and
he even had it in his hair so bad he had
to keep his hair cut close to his head
1t even grew down on his face, but we
are now both happy over our cures
through the use of Cuticura treat
ment." (SignedD Mrs. Laurence But
Ter, Chesterfield, N. H.. Jan. 10, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. II X, Boston.

American Woman Rivals Partisan.

Society customs have changed much
during the past ten years. No longer
does the senator or congressman feel
that he must wear silk hat and
froek coat to the white house. Even
gloves have been put under the ban.
and foreigners insist that American
men are becoming careless in their
attire, although on the other hand
they say that the American woman Is
every year more chic in her dress.

speaker, when Parisians will have

New Trimmings.

The extensive use of double-faced
cloth this season has done away with
the use of trimmings on many of the
utility coats. as the majority employ
the reverse side of the fabric for COL
lars. revers. cuffs and pocket flaps.
When single texture is used for a
garment plain cloth in a contrasting
color is used as trimming. frequently
giving the effect of coat made Of
double-faced cloth.
Plain and novelty velvets are like
wise favored and some satin Is also
used.
1t looks now as II fur and imitation
fur would be popular as trimming on
winter garments. as the few now being
shown are taking readily.

What Travellers Needed.

A travellers outfit 800 years ago
was somewhat different from the
present day. In Touring in 1900"
by e. S. Bates, the following list is
given: First among requisites is
book of prayers and hymns effective
for salvation without being so pugna-
cious, doctrinally, as to cause sus-
picion. Next, notebook; a watch,
ora pocket sundial; if watch, not a
striker, for that warns the wicked

SIDE FRILLS EASY TO MAKE

Net Also Good.

The side frill that does SO much to
freshen simple waist must be % fine
material. or it gives blouse COM
mon look These are costly to buy.
but easy to make with net and lace.
The newest frills are cut about
three inches wide at the top and taper
to nothing at the bottom. which some
times reaches to the belt. more often
just below the bust line.
A rather heavy white or ecru net
is the best material for the body OF
the frill. 1t is generally finely plated,
but launders better II cut straight and
slightly held in so as not to span.
Edge with row Of heavy lace inser-
ton with an edging to match, and II
unplaited put second row OF inser-
ton half inch from the outer one
A smart frill is made of heavy
square meshed net worked on the edge
with a shallow, irregular scallop done
in white rope silk in buttonhole stitch.
A simple cross stitch design in Greek
key or other simple lines is worked on
the inside of the frill in the rope silk
Two or three rows Of this stitching
may be used.
The null frill, delicately embroid-
cred in white mercerized cotton in a
simple floral design. is dainty on a
wash silk waist. but is less popular
than the net and lace ones. An all
lace frill is not pretty unless the lace
is a good quality and very fine.
