London, May Isl am being badg-

Ambassador Reid at mention of the
subject of applications for tickets Of
admission TO Westminster Abbey 10
see the coronation ceremony and for
presentations at the coronation courts.
As an order has been issued from
the Lord Chamberlain Office that only
Is Americans presentations can be
allowed this year at the four courts,
the Ambassador has no pleasant task
in selecting the Is from among the
countless applications, most Of them
having the best credentials from home.
There are hundreds Of bitterly disap-
pointed ones in London who thought
Ambassador Reid could secure their
appearance at court and get them good
seats in the Abbey.
The limit assigned to American pres
entations is considered altoge. her ont

ciety that is making things hum social

going away in disgust to Paris and
other parts Of the Continent This IS
not because presentation at court is a
very exhilarating experience in itself
One beautiful American woman said
frankly:
1T really is a horried bore. You go
to endless trouble and expense in get
ting a costume, then you are pinned
TWO or three hours in a long room
with 800 or 400 other women, enduring
intolerable fatigue and in fever Of
anxiety all the time lest your dress
may be spoiled and you look tossed
and frumpish when you at last emerge
for a moment into the royal presence

court circle. If they fixed ten courts
instead of four things might be carried
out with some comfort, perhaps even
pleasure"

Queens Skirt Order Defied.

Queen Mary's order about hobble
skirts was disobeyed at the two courts
recently held by all except the actual
court ladies' All the rest wore tight
skirts, but their trains covered them.
They say they don't see why they
should make themselves questionable
because the Queen herself is abnormal
| ly large around the hips and unsuited
to tight dresses.
Yet every one was staggered by the
costume of the Marchioness de Villa
Urrutia, the handsome wife of the
! Spanish Ambassador Her dress was
so tight that her whole figure was
sharply outlined and she had great diff
ficulty in walking. AS she belongs in
the diplomatic circle, she is independ-
ent Of the Queens wishes, and forum
ately had no courtesy to make, with
consequences which might have beer
indescribable. The Queen only smiled
when she saw her trouble and seemed
wisely oblivious Of how her order was
generally disobeyed Indeed the
Queen was the surprise of the court
she was so smiling and bright, with a
word for everybody.
Now she has caused it to be known
that she doesn't wish to see any VIC
man in a low-cut dress or a big hat in
the royal inclosure at Ascot.
Society simply laughs at these edicts
and there actually is a concerted az.

IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused Merriment by
Taking the Order of the Court
Too Literally.

A droll incident is reported as hav-
ing taken place in one of the pro-
vincial appeal courts in France A
boy, about IA. was summoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such
as to move the whole court to laughter.
He wore long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers, collar and hat
we're unquestionably those of a man.
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such a manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as the
president, and taking out the citation
from his pocket, read the formula in
viting him, Comparative dams les af.
faires de son pere." (To appear in
his fathers suit)

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and disfgure man.
kind, three-forths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and Is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning OF
the skin, causing loss Of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
crusts until Disagreement Is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the Oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura oint-
ment. For more than generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief Of all forms of eczemas, rashes,
itchings and irritations Of the skin and
scalp Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith In
everything may make trial of them
without charge, a liberal sample OF
each will be mailed free to any ad-
dress, together with a 32-page pamph-
let, giving description and treatment
Of the various forms Of eczema, as
well as other affections Of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands-send to "Cuu-
cura," Dept. w, Boston.

CHAPTER XIII. (contlnued.)

But what the cook had told about
for the HARRISON man caught him up
with jerk and sent Flanagan, grum-
bling. with his rugs to the roof.
1t did not seem possible to carry on
the deception much longer, but if
things were bad now, what would they
be when Aunt Selma learned she had
been lied to- made ridiculous, general
able to live in the house with her
when she did know? Luckily, every
one was so puzzled over the mystery
in the house that numbers of little
things that would have been absolute
iy damn1ng were never noticed at all
For instance, my asking Jimmy at
luncheon that day if he took cream in
his coffee! And Max coming to the
rescue by dropping his watch in his
glass of water, and creating a diver
sion and giving every body an oppor-
tunity to laugh by saying not to mind,
1t had been in soak before.
just after luncheon Aunt Selma
Jim's to be patched. She explained at
length that he had always worn out
his undergarments, because he always
squirmed around so when he was sit
ting. And she showed Inc how to lay
one of the garments over pillow to
get the patch in properly.
1t was the most humiliating moment
sf my life, but there was no escape.
took my sewing to the roof, while she
went away to find something else for
me to do when that was finished, and
] sat with the thing on my knee and
stared at 1t, while rebellious tears
rolled down my cheeks. The patch
was not the shape of the hole at all,
and every time l took a stitch I sewed
ft fast to the pillow beneath. 1t was
terrible. Jim came up after while
and sat down across from he and
watched, without saying anything.
Suppose what he felt would not have
been proper to say to me. We had
both reached the point where ade
quate language failed us. Finally he
said:
Wish l were QoaQ.
so do l." I retorted, Jerking the
thread
Where is she now?"
Looking for more of these" l in
dicated the garment over the pillow
and he wiggled. please don't
squirm," 1 said coldly. you will weal
out your-lingerie, and 1 will have te
mend them"
He sat very still for five minutes
when l discovered that 1 had put the
patch in crosswise instead Of length
wise and that 1t would not At AS
ferked 1t out he sneezed.
"Oh, sneeze," l added venomously
The Winslow mail., 1911-04-22
"You wifi tear your buttons of, and I

"You wifi tear your buttons of, and
will have to sew them on"
Jim rose wrathfully. Don't sit,
don't sneeze,'" he repeated. Don't
stand, l suppose, for fear l will wear
out my socks. Here, give me that If
the fool thing has to be mended. I'll
do it myself"
He went over to a corner of the
parapet and turned his back to me.
He was very much offended. In about
a minute he came back, triumphant,
and held out the result of his labor.
l could only gasp. He had puckered
up the edges of the hole like the neck
of a bag, and had tied the thread
around it. "You-you won't be able
to sit down. l ventured.
Don't have any time to Sit he re-
torted promptly. Anyhow, it will give
some, won't it? 1t would if it was tied
with elastic, instead of thread. Have
you any elastic?"
Lollie came up just then, and Jim
took himself and his mending down
stairs. Luckily, Aunt Selma found
several letters in his room that after
noon while she was going over his
clothes, and as 1t took Jim some time
to explain them, she forgot the task
she had given me altogether.
When Lollie came up to the roof,
she closed the door to the stairs, and
coming over, drew chair close to
mine.
Have you see much Of Tom today?"
she asked, as an Introduction.
81 suppose you mean Mr.. HARRISON,
Lollie," l said "No-not any more
than l could help. Don't whisper, he
couldn't possibly hear you. An if it's
scandal l don't want to know it."
Look here, Kit" she retorted, you
needn't be so superior. If l like to
talk scandal, I'm not so sure you
aren't making it."
That was the way right along:
was making scandal; 1 brought them
there to dinner; let Bella in!
And, of course, Anne came up then.
and began on me at once.
"You are very bad girl" she be-
gan. What do you mean by treating
Tom HARRISON the way you do? He is
heart broken"
"I think you exaggerate my influ-
ence over him." retorted. II haven't
treated him badly, because I haven't
paid any attention to him.
Anne threw up her hands.
There you are!" she said. "He
worked all day yesterday fixing this
place for you-yes, for you, my dear
| am not blind-and last night you re
fused to let him bring you up"
"He told you!" l famed.
"He wondered what he had done
And as you wouldn't let him come
within speaking distance of you, he
came to me"
81 am sorry, Anne, since you are
fond of him. | said But to me he
is possible-intolerable My rea
sons are quite sufficient"
Kit is perfectly right, Anne Leila
