WHEN THE LUCK CHANGED
Groceryman at Last Could Believe
That Things Might Be Com

George H. Earle, the Philadelphia

greed for wealth, loses his humanity.

Peter Brown.
Peter Brown was Conshohoeken
grocer. He was delivering some gro
ceries in his wagon one moYning
when he ran down and badly injured
an old lady. The old lady sued him
and got big damages. A few months
later Brown was on his rounds again
when he ran down and crippled an
old man. The man also sued, and so
large were the damages awarded him
| by a generous jury that poor Brown
found himself actually on the verge
of ruin.
"One morning about this time
Browns young son rushed into the
shop in great excitement. 'Father!'
he cried. Father! mothers been run

The Newest Tea-Gowns.

The tea-gown is practical to wear
at home in the afternoon or evening,
and will save the street gown and
the more elaborate evening gown.
The lines of the best tea-gowns are
long and loose, but at the same time
a tea-gown should not be shapeless.
A long coat effect is good, provided
that the gown itself over which the
coat is worn has a belt or girdle.
This should be placed high up under
the arms to give the Empire effect.
There 5 ould not be much fullness
if the material is on the order of

gown to be worn under a lace coat
should fit, or, rather, should be so cut
as to indicate the lines of the figure

ADVICE ON MARKING LINEN
Stylish and Effective Method is to Do
the Lettering on Insert
of Lace.

Napkins, tablecloths, sheets and
pillow cases and table mats are fire.
uuently marked with an insert OF lace,
with the lettering done on that, rather
than worked solidly on the material
itself. This method is stylish and
effective, its one drawback being
rather poor wearing qualities.
Bits OF net or canvas the required
size are lettered, then basted care
fully on the linen, the edge closely
buttonholed IL a narrow straight
seam and the material cut away be-
meath. Leave an edge to turn back
and be hemmed to the linen on the
wrong side for greater firmness.
Various lettering is used on these
inserts. II flet net is chosen, the let
tiers are done in the regular flet
stitches, of cross stitch and darning.
Sometimes heavier canvas is used
and the letters cross stitched in all
white or In two or three tones Of one
color.

"WHY SHOULD I USE
CUTICURA SOAP?

There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and l thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, it
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose. while it's extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy. and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and OF such materials, that it wears
TO a wafer, often Outlasting several
cakes of other soap. and making its
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth OF

A mattress should be turned every
day, but unless the turning is done
carefully it is liable to work the stuff
flng out of shape. To prevent this
sew handles of ticking or webbing to
the sides and you will be able to turn
the mattress without straining the
ticking.
When one of the rosettes shows
signs of coming off, it should be i'm
mediately stitched in position, for the
stufing will rapidly work out OF place,
and the mattress will lose its shape.
New rosettes may be made out of
old kid gloves and sewn on with fine
Irvine with long upholsterer's
needle.

greatly prolong the life of your mat

A LADY LECTURER

Through improper food, imperfect

Grape-Nuts food. 1t has, l assure you,

ABILITY THE ONLY CONSIDERA

Idea That Women Who Have Passed
Their First Youth Are RELOCATED
to the Background is
Absurd.

A few days ago a woman who
owned up to being thirty-tiye asked
plaintively: Can the stenographer
over thirty hold a permanent position
in Chicago?" She said that when
there are places to be filled the good
looking and stylishly dressed young
girls are given the preference. She
suggested that perhaps some girls
paid special attention to their COM
plexions, so as to have better chance
to get work That was a catfish re-

It is a reflection on the good sense
of business men. which several women
correspondents have resented, to as
sumo that they prefer beauty to
brains when they are hiring stenog-
raphers. They wish to get a fair
equivalent in work for what they pay
out in wages, and while, other things
being equal, anybody had rathe r have
a good looking than an i'll favored

How Machinery Breathes.

O'Gorman, the British engineering
authority, has invited attention to the
fact that a piece of machinery, such
as an automobile. laid aside after be-
ing used, is in danger of internal rust
ing through a kind of respiration
which affects cylinders, gear boxes,
clutch chambers, interspaces in ball
bearing, and so forth.
Every inclosed air space "breaths"
by drawing in air when fall of tenn
perature contracts its walls, and ex-
polling it when the walls expand
through heat. The moisture introduced
with the air Is deposited in The cavi-
ties and may produce serious damage
through rust. The popular belief that
oil will protect the inaccessible parts
of unused machinery is fallacious,
since nearly all oils take up about
three per cent Of water in solution.
