NEW USE FOR THE OLD SHAWL
Summer Wraps and Matinees Are Be-
Ing Made From Delicate Finery
Worn Long Ago.

Any girl whose mother or grand
mother has a silk shawl, no matter
what the size, should endeavor to have
it given to her. Just now the love-
Hest summer wraps and matinees are
being made from them, and the fact
that the delicate material need not be
cut is apt to make the owner more
willing to transfer it to the younger
member of the family.
AS the shawl is large or small, 1t is
manipulated pointed or square. The
best effects will be gained in the lat
ter, If the wrap is of the small variety.
1t Is taken for granted that the shawls
have fringed edges, but should this
not be the case a silk fringe as wide
as one can afford should be carefully
sewed around. If it is impossible to
match the color, white may be SUBJ
stituted, although a black fringe on a
white shawl.is especially effective.
If the square is a small one the top
is turned over wide enough to form
deep border, twelve inches at least
With this still back, the shawl is fold
ed squarely in two, up and down. Then
twenty inches from the middle the
top border is tackled together. This
may be done with pin to try the
best proportion. The wrap Is then
put on, the pin or tack coming at the
middle of the back of the neck.
It is then necessary to have another
tack put at the bottom of the V
formed at the back, and the wrap is
complete. 1t requires no lining of
course. Ribbons or fancy clasp may
be put on, to hold it together over the
bust.
Variety is given by making the tack
a little to one side of the middle. The
fastening then laps over in front when
the wrap is worn.
When the shawl is wide, it should
be folded first three corners, regula-
ton shawl fashion, except that the top
is not turned over quite so far. Tack
ing is the same as with the other
shape.

How Sea Birds Drink.

Under the headline, Where Do They
Get Water? a writer in the Young
Folks Catholic Weekly says: when
l was a cabin boy l often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands of
miles out to sea, what they did for
fresh water when they were thirsty
One day squall answered that ques-
ton for me. 1t was a hot and glitter
ing day in the tropics, and in the clear
sky overhead black rain cloud ap-
peared all of a sudden. Then out Of
empty space over a hundred sea birds
came darling from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their
fill. III the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands Of miles away
from shore, they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out
storm long way off; they travel a
hundred miles maybe to get under it,
and they swallow enough raindrops to
keep them going. New York Trib-

WIDE CHOICE IN HANDBAGS
All Designs and Materials Have the
Sanction of Fashion This
Season.

The handbag is now the inseparable
companion of woman. A beauty Is
made Of sealskin with gold top, the
owners initials in gold adjoining the
side that is generally presented to the
gaze of the public. Oxidized silver is
sometimes seen, but gold is more
favored. No longer is handle of
modest length allowed. Long cords
of leather or silk are supplied, occa-
sionally several are plated together.
and finished where they join the bag
with tassels.
The black suede and the velvet bag
also have their devotees, while leath-
er worked in the Venetian manner IL
much in evidence.
In Paris, and on the continent gen.
orally, great liking is evidenced for
the bag of fairly modest proportions
with long cords that are slung across
the shoulder-in the same way as one
carries field glasses-perhaps because
this method displays its beauty to the
greatest advantage.

lTCHED so COULD NOT SLEEP

II suffered from the early part of
December until nearly the beginning
of March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first
treated it as a trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated waShrags, cold cream, vanish
ing cream, etc., found no relief what
ever. After that / diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of it's dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
of my scalp became so intense that
thought I should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching Of
my skin. Having read different tes-
timonials of cures by the Cuticura
Remedies, I decided to purchase box
of Cuticura Ointment and cake of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
a few days I recognized marked
change in my condition. I bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all,
and after few days I was entirely
free from the itching and burning.
MY eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment daily. Hereafter I will never
be without a cake of Cuticura Soap on
my washstand. I highly recommend
the Cutlcura Remedies to anyone suf.
