"A splendid broad guage display of the season. choicest models. Though the majority are inspired by foreign authorities, most of the styles have been modified by leading American de- signers.
 The result shows in wealth of costumes that are as sensibly practical as they are handsome.
 This applies specially to the suits To be sure many are with fringe and braid but the charm of the greater part lies n their richness of material and cleverness of tailoring
 Coats are chiefly 2S to 30 inches long. Skirts are fuller In materials the choice is the largest in many seasons.
 In gowns fer afternoon and evening wear, the artists have wrought magnificenty. Never nave coors been more cleverly combined never have d1f ferent materials been peasingly brought together Everything about the gowns is supple, soft and clingy Velvets very popular Chlffons ana other transparent materials made over the softest Things The exhibition of exclusive import gowns will be of special interest

FEARFUL BURNING
 ITCH WAS CURED.
By Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Another Man Had itching on Scalp. Hair Fell Out, Leaving Bald Spots. Now Hair Has Grown, Thanks to Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

1T deem it my duty to tell about cure that the Cuticura Soap and Ointment have made on myself. My trouble began in splotches breaking out right in the edge of my hair on the forehead, and spread over the front part of the top of my head from ear to ear, and over my ears which caused most fearful burning itch, or eczema. For three years l had this terrible breaking out on my forehead and scalp. l tried our family doctor and he failed to cure it. Then l tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment and used them for two months with the result of a complete cure. Cuticura Soap and Ointment should have the credit due, and l have advised lot of people to use them" (Signed) c. D. Harrington, Creek, N. C., Jan. 26, 1911.
 1T will say that I have been suffering with an itching on my scalp for the past few years My hair fell out in spots all over my head. My scalp started to trouble me with sores, then the sores healed up, and crlists formed on the top. Then the hair fell out and left me three bald spots the shape of half dollar. l went to more than one doctor, but could not get any relief, so I started to use the Cuticura Remedies. tried one bar of Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment, and felt relieved right away. Now the bald spots have disappeared, and my hair has grown thanks to the Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment. I highly recom- mend the Cuticura Remedies to all that are suffering with scalp trouble'' (Signed) Samuel Stern, 236 Floyd St., Brooklyn, N. r.. Feb. 7, 1911.
 Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere, a liberal sample of each with 32-p book on the skin, will be sent post-free, on application to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp, Dept. 9A, Boston, Mass.
