SUMMER WORK FOR GIRLS
An Accordingly Interesting Kind is
the Very Fashionable Bead
Bag.

If any girl wants to undertake some
rather elaborate but beautiful sum-
mer work. an absorbingly interesting
kind is the very fashionable bead
bag; also purses and card cases Of the
same kind. OF course most people
who have these charming things buy
them and think 1t would be far too
much work for a clever girl. nor is it
too difficult. Even the inveterately
sporty" girl takes a rest now and
then from active amusements, and If
she once learns to do this bead work
she will become more and more fasci-
mated by it. She need only give her
formerly idle hours on the porch to it,
and before long she will have a beau
tiful bag or purse.
1t is necessary to take a few les
sons if one has never done any Of the
work, but the fancy work shops that
sell the materials give the lessons, too.
Some Of the designs used are most ar
tistic, some are quaint and suggestive
of the days of our grandmothers. One
can choose between flowers and more
formal and conventional designs and
between those that match certain
gowns and those that are neutral
enough TO go well with several
Newer than the bags (but no more
attractive) are the fiat card cases Gov

BABYS HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then 1t would
break out again and it. spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was sealy all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until 1t was on
his hands and arms. / bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time He
had IL about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. l sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes Of
Ointment and three cakes Of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out Of any kind His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. 1 don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put

remedy and would advise any one to

possessed only by those girls whose
playmates are boys and girls older

one Of the "thrillers" that abound in
such places.

the park, she confided the emotions

TO BE WELL DRESSED
some THINGS A YOUNG LADY
SHOULD AVOID.
Short Skirts Don't Always Make a
Girl Look Younger-sllk or Satin
Ralnooat Is Not a Utility
Garment.

Don't forget that you cannot make
people think you have come to town
In motor car just because you wear
silly little bonnet or a huge chiffon
veil.
Don't imagine that you look younger
. because you have elected to wear ex-
tremely short skirt; generally speak.

ridiculous.

ing wrap.
Don't forget that the veil you wear
every day becomes very much soiled
and Is a real menace to clear skin.
Your veil may be easily washed in
chloroform or ether, and will dry in
ten minutes.
Don't arrange your hair Just like
all the girls do now" when II Is the
most unbecoming way you can wear
It. Remember that each girl must
keep in mind her own individual style
and cater to It with a due regard. of
course, for the present styles.
Don't choose clothes made on very
extreme lines unless you can afford
to follow every whim Of fashion. Re-
member the well-dressed. well-bred
girl is never conspicuous, and her
clothes never attract undue attention
on the street.
Don't buy cheap flowers for your
hat trimming and imagine you are
practicing economy. The flowers will
fade with half a dozen wearings and
your hat look shabby. Choose good
ribbon intsead, and while the first
cost will be a little more, the wearing
qualities of the material will more
than make 1t up.
Don't wear a ready-made skirt until
you have put braid on the lower
edge to protect it from wear.
Don't try to wear ready-made pet
ucoat with a drawing string In the
top. Fit the garment smoothly at the
waist and over the hips, and put 1t on
a band to be fastened with buttons.

become so widespread that the motor
bonnet is as important as the every
day hat There are new ones made
up entirely Of wide nd narrow plated
frills. These are put on a thin gauze
foundation which is stiffened with
wire. The frills are often made of
black and white ribbon, and held in
