BLACK VELVET WIDELY USED
Shade and Material Both Are En-
poyed In Costumes That Have
"Official" Sanction.

The sweet unreasonableness" of
which the poet sings is exemplif1ed
by the French modiste who invariably
emphasizes tulle and lace and all filmy
fabrics for winter and then introduces
velvet, and sometimes fur, on the sum-
mer costume. Fashions vagaries are
inconsistent but beautiful, SO why OBJ
ject?
Black velvet is one of the prime
favorites today. 1t is used for all
types of sashes and girdles, affording
contrast and giving a slender appear
ance at the waist line. It is practical
on account of it's defiance of dust and
hard wear. and its ability to harmon
ize with all colors is too great to ig-
more. Therefore the black velvet has
an excuse other than beauty for being.
Most noticeable is the use of black
velvet as facings for hats. The new
est models now show entire under
surfaces of black velvet, or wide bands
81 wire applied with perfect smooth
ness to the edge of the brim.
In this manner the bright color of
a hat can be toned down and dis
ISOLATED, SO to speak, from the gown.
The black also brings out the bright
ness of the eyes, the wilderness of the
skin, and is generally becoming.

CHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS

632 N. 9th ST., Terre Haute, Ind
MY little nephew, a boy of four
years, had breaking out on his face.
1t was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but it did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say it hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
The next morning / made strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After 1 had his

les in his highly aesthetic velvet cos
tumes-and incidentally to prepare the
public mind for the proper apprecia
ton of Gilbert and Sullivan's PA
tience," in which the aesthetic move
ment was held up to ridicule-he used
to complain that America was very un
interesting since it had mo antiqui
ties and no curiosities." But he ven
tured on this disparagement once toe
often, for in the course of his travels
he uttered it to the American Girl
and she replied with the demure de-
pravity of candid innocence that this
was not quite a fair reproach, since

There is a revival of the red head.
A genuine carrot shade is the favorite
of the moment, and women have it

If they but knew how they looked!
Most tinted hair is artificial looking,
but there is something about the vivid
red hue that makes the most refined
woman look like an adventures,
coarsens her features and is generally
unbecoming.
This truth has not the least effect
on those it most concerns; but they
might refrain from tampering with
their hair if they knew how much the
artifciality added to their years. 1t

strained look to most faces; it dulls

Feeding Dairy Cows.

Fill the producing cows up on clo-
yer hay or alfalfa hay If you can get
1t instead of fodder or other coarse
stuff containing low food values.
The sensible dairyman does not ex-
pect something for nothing, and COW
cannot give full flow of milk on feeds
that do not contain sufficient milk ele-
ments.
Oats, wheat, bran, oil meal and
shorts should supplement the clover
hay.
Feed some ground corn, but do not
make it the sole concentrated ration.
