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 scale. Then 1t would
break out again and II spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly 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 1t about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. ] sent and
got 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. | 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
them on. ] think Cuticura Is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best that
! have ever used for toilet purposes"

A TRAVEL PARTY.


A novel form of entertainment is a
Travel Party" The hostess invites
those of her friends who have travelled
much. or are gifted with the faculty of
talking entertainingly. She distributes
to her guests pictures cut from news
papers and magazines depicting scenes
in different cities and countries. II
possible, she selects for each guest some
pictures of a place which that particu-
lar guest has visited. The pictures
start "reminiscences, and, before the
hostess realizes II, the guest is launched
into telling of her experiences In that
place or elsewhere in her travels. The
conversation becomes general. each pic
ture suggesting some new experience.
and before long the party has been half
round the world. Everybody who has
travelled has some interesting or anus
ing experience TO relate. This sort of
party is delightful, simple, and mex
pensive. To to the interest, the
picture may have the titles cut off, and
guests be asked to Identify the places.
