BY both the needle and the water color:

black or white, silk are inexpensive,
and may be decorated with bands Of

Del1cately tinted silk spreads which
make "a charming background for
brush or needleSwork are mounted on
sticks of sandalWood, lacquered wood,
bamboo or other-of-pearl, and these,
like the Japanese whalebone fans,
cost SO little that any girl who works
neatly may well afford one Of them to
go with each Of her evening frocks.
Even more attractive and quite as
easily decorated are the fans having
sticks Of pearl. ivory or carved white
bone, picked out with silver, or gold
| and plain white silk gauze spreads.
These may be trimmed across the tor
with any scraps Of real lace edging
that are at hand or with 81 narrow
band md Of orstrich feathers spiral or mar
about. They are charming also with 6
plain edge and with a scene hanG
painted In the center of the spread
The design for this sort of decoration
may be copied from the medallions or
any handsome piece of French or Aus
TRAN porcelain and the simulated ova
trace for the picture may be repro
duced in tiny gold spangles sewn upo1

 Of the decision to locate the ex. position in Herald square Mir. Talbot said he had conferred re- gently with Robert J. Coverdale, vice president of the Guarantors' Realty Corporation, who had im- mediately suggested the Donald Building on account of its proxi. mity to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Hudson Tunnels, the elevated and surface lines, the retail shop ping centre and the Herald office, as we'll as the many excellent hotels in the immediate vicinity, thereby providing unequalled faci- lities for the comfort and conve- nience of out of town visitors and local residents.

 Representatives of the Mexican Commercial Company have leased two floors in the Donald Building, at the southwest corner of Thirty second street and Sixth avenue.
 E. H. Talbot, vice president of the company, was the founder of the Railway Age and has been identified with Mexican affairs for many years. At the time of the Worlds Fair at St. Louis he was the United States Commissioner for Mexico.
 Associated with MT. Talbot in the enterprise are Heriberto Bar ron, a memb Der of the Mexican Congress and the commercial re- presentative of Mexican interests in the United States, also w. H. Roberts.
 Speaking of the exposition yes. terday MT. Talbot said:-The lack of knowledge both Americans and Mexicans have of each others country is amazing. This exposi- tion will serve to enlighten the people of both countries. Not only will the products of Mexico be shown, but those of the entire twenty-one Pan-American states, as we'll as those articles manufac- tured in the United States that are of interest to Mexicans.
 For the present the floors just leased will be used solely for exhi- bition purposes and executive offices, but later the upper floors will be used as the headquarters of the Pan-American Club. There will also be a bureau organized where information concerning gov ernmental affairs may be obtained and where books of reference con- corning all the Pan-American States will be on file.

THE PEEVISH CHILD
 NEEDS TREATMENT

When a child sulks drowsily. or Is fretful, 1t is usually due to some slight disorder of the digestive organs. and a mild laxative is very often all that is necessary to restore cheerfulness and buoy&ncy of spirits.
 In cases where the use of a gentle, effective laxative stimulant is indi- cated, many of the best physicians are now prescribing Dr. Caidwelrs Syrup Pepsin. This preparation is admitted ly the perfect laxative, being mild. yet positive In it's action on the bowels, and far preferable to violent cathart- les and purgatiye waters. It is very pleasant to the taste and is an ideal remedy to regulate and strengthen the stomach. liver and bowels. It's easy, natural action makes 1t especially de- sirable in the case of children, a dose at bedtime being sure to have the de- sired result next morning. with no at- tendant unpleasantnees or discomfort.
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is scld by druggists everywhere in 50c and S10O bottles. If you have never tried this splendid remedy. write to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, POI Washington St, Mon- ueello, III, for sample He will be very glad to send trial bottle with out any expense to you whatever.

ECZEMA UNSECURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with eczema when but few weeks old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his little face was disfgured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like The face looked like raw meat. We tied little bags of cloth over his hands to prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night. his little face itched
 We consulted two doctors at Chi cago. where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly We saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child's face was as fine and clean as any little baby's face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has head of hair which Is pride for any boy of his age, three years. We can only recommend the Cuticura Reme- dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs H. Albrecht, Box SS3, West Point, Neb., Oct. 26, 1910.
