MANY of these people," said the

Embroidery Scissors Holders One of
the Most Acceptable Gifts That
Can Be Made.

II you can do even the simplest sort
of crocheting. you must make your
self and your friends one of the little
crocheted silk embroidery scissors
holders. These consist simply of a
cork, crocheted around in silk every
where except the top surface, and
with crocheted string or handle to
which the scissors are attached Then
when they are not In use the points
are stuck into the cork and they are
out of harms way
An accompaniment of this, not quite
so new. but very useful. is tiny glass
medicine vial without lid, crocheted
all over very finely. Into it are
dropped broken needles and bent pins,
and they are far safer there than
thrown carelessly on the floor or in
the wastebasket. When the vial is
full slip off the silk-a little drawing
string at the bottom permits this

the earth or throwing them into the

A dainty pair of bedroom slippers
may be made from two Tapped sec

length. of course, depending on the

front Of a lamb b's-wool sole. This forms

are formed Of straight band of rib
bon. lined with satin and sewed to
the sole. If desired. it can be stiffen-

but 1t should not be too fiimsy.
A drawstring passed through the
upper edge of the sides may be tied

may be finished at the sides and back

TN SPITE of all the jibes flung at
womankind for her fickleness as to
fashions In headwear, there are
some sorts OF hats that are always
worn and always in style, or able to
defy the passing fads of the moment.
Among them are the small toques de-
signed for elderly matrons and others
who affect inconspicuous and good
styles, the walking hat, dear to all
women, and the big picture hat, with
broad brim of graceful flowing lines
which is the rose in the rosebud gar
den OF hats every season. All the
styles vary little from time to time,
but hardly enough to identify them
selves as belonging to certain year.
Three pretty and becoming hats for
matrons are pictured here suitable to
almost any season. The variation of
the English walking hat, with brim
faced with velvet, and turning up at
the left, is finished with a very ample
drapery of silk. The arrangement of
this drapery gives the impression of
shape turned up at both sides, as in
the regulation walking shape. Such a
hat needs no additional trimming, but

the addition of smart feather, or 1t
may be elaborated for anyone by a
tuft Of ostrich half plumes. One must
look far for more elegant hat or
model SO universally becoming.
Hats - this character require the
work of an experienced milliner;
nothing short of perfection in draping
and in finish is permissible in them.
Facings must fit; trimmings must be
placed by a practiced eye, otherwise
the hat is dismal failure and I'm
possible.
The toque of silk or hair braid
shown in the second figure is easier
to accomplish. 1t is made on light
wire frame which has an ample head
size. The frame is covered with chif-
fon and faced with maline shirred on

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

Il can't tell In words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for It
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema. 1t first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. used every
thing imaginable and had one doo-
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured 1t. Then the eczema broke out
SO badly behind her ear that l really
thought her ear would come OF. For
months doctored 1t but to no avail.
Then 1t began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. l had to
keep her in dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so
stopped him coming.
For about two weeks 1 had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then got box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was marked Improvement In
all used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
cura enough, I can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption. but now, thanks to
Cuticura, have a well child" (Sign-
