AS to Elizabeth Churchill, it might
have been in line with a Maryland Gus
tom had she generally been known as
Betty; but Betty she never was called,
although that diminutive was applied
to her aunt, Jennings, twice as large
as she, after whom she had been
named. Betty implies a snub nose;
EliZabeth's was clean cut and straight.
Betty runs for a saucer mouth and a
short one; Elizabeth's was red and
curved, but firm n wide enough for
strength and charity as we'll. Betty
spells round eyes, with brOwS arched
above them as though in query and
curiosity; the eyes of Elizabeth were
long, her brOws long and straight aud
delicately fine. A Betty might V
have red hair; Elizabeth's was brown
in most lights, and so liquid smooth
that almost l was disposed to call it
dense rather han thick. Betty would
seem to indicate a nature impulsive,
gay, and free from care; on the other
hand, it was to be said of Elizabeth
that she was logical beyond her kline
"a trait which she got from her
mother, a daughter of old Judge Henry
GOOch of u superior court. Yet,
disposed as she always was to be
logical in her conclusions, the great
characteristic Of Elizabeth was Sc

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago l noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back of my hands. They became very
irritating, and gradually became
worse, so that 7 could not sleep at
night. 1 consulted a physician who
treated me a long time, but it got
worse, and 1 could not put my hands
in water. I was treated at the hos
pital, and it was just the same. l was
told that it was a very a case of
eczema. Well, l just kept on using
everything that / could for nearly
eight years until 1 was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. / did so, and l
found after a few applications and by
b~andaging my hands we'll up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
I could sleep we'll, and did not have
any itching during the night. l began
after a while to use C%uticura Soap for
a wash for them, and l think by using
the Soap and Ointment l was much
benefited. l stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, n thought If 1 could use
other remedies for Over seven years
with no result, and after only having
q few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, 1 thought it
deserved a fair trial with a severe
and stubborn ase- I used the ONT
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and / am glad to say hat l have
hands rs clear as anyone.

letter to all the world, and If anyone
doubts it, let them write me and I

clan, also the hospital I was treated

Mothers Hat.

When a woman has, in the polite ct
phemism, ceased to be so young as she
once was it may be taken as a general
rule that she will look younger If she
wears broad brimmed hat that
shades her face, But there are other
considerations, for by doing so she may
lose dignity, may even become a little
grotesque, while If she is stout her
face will gain in youthfulness at the
expense Of her unfortunate figure, and
she will look as if she had been
squashed by having some one sit down
on top of her and forget to get up for
a very long time.
That is why woman of uncertain
age should be encourag ed to the wear
ing Of small hats and why women Of
forty should not go abroad in millinery
that might have come out of their
daughters bandboxes. A woman Of
forty Is not old, but neither is she
jeune file, and in dress she may surely
be supposed to have arrived at years
Of discretion. Colors are often becom-
ing. especially when the hair begins to
turn gray, and Yedda tagal and rustic
straws may any of them be worn with
q chip for q best bonnet.
