SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich-"Last May my
thirteen-months-ol baby had sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size OF

Then water would run from the pim-

FLUSHING BRIDE WAS
A man IN DISGUISE
Practical Jokers Tried to Find
Out How New Justice Would

Greenwich, Conn.-The question is

OF the Greenwich Commutators' club.
or was 1t on Frank N. Patterson. q

Mr.. Chapman was elected justice

He couldn't tell. so Sunday night as
he sat at dinner at his Greenwich
him saying that Frank Patterson had
eloped with a Miss Stewart, of Bridge
port and would he kindly come to
George II. Storms house at once and
marry them.
Justice chapman consented. then
called up Town Clerk Wallstood to i'm
quire If Il marriage license had been

carrying u bridal boquet. Mr. Pat

Changes in the Styles Of Partisan Sum.
mer Hats.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
Some new forms have appeared and
are taking the town by storm. They
differ entirely in style from all those
that have been shown hitherto this sea-
son, which is perhaps the reason for
their success Whether or not this will
be of long duration remains to be seen.
but in the meanwhile every fashions
BILE woman is getting one.
Their general characteristic is to be
that of Il regular hat with q firm high
CROWN the same width all the way up
rolled at the edges. They are closely
allied 10 the kind of hats men wore
(and indeed women too) during the
first French revolution, and which We're
in fact the forerunncrs of the present
toppers. The name chosen for them is
the 'Nendcc." which does not sgnaliZe
them as belonging to any political par
~ (the safer plan). the people of La
Nendee having been at war with the
republic.
1t certainly seems rather a curious
shape to revive i'm straw and one is in-
clincd to wonder why it was not re-
served for later on. so as to make Its
appearance i'm rough felt, for it was
originally made in beaver. the actual
skin of the beast. not the imitation OF
1t we now call by that name.
In the meanwhile this "Nendce" hat
is made in English straw and other
plain sorts. including leghorn and PAN
anna. the latter being generally dyed.
although it is by no means a rule for
this shape to be colored. Leghorn is
not dyed--but the brim is usually given
facing of black tagal or English
straw. When the shape is built up OF
the latter, faced braids are sometimes
used for the brim
Slight differences are to be found in
the shape. Thus some have the brim
rolled up regularly the same height all
the way around. j. e.. an inch or frac-
tion over. whereas others have it rolled
more decidedly at the sides. but always
symmetrically.
The ''Vendee" is essentially IL SYM
metrical hat: ii is made to wear
straight and to come we'll on the head
almost down to the eyebrows. Saving
the band of ribbon that may or may not
encircle the crown. the trimming is al
ways set up erect exactly in front. not

special features Another is the excess
sive height attained by some of the
aigrettes and drum major plumes) and
bows of ribbon. used as frontal orna-
ments There is no question as yet Of
trimming them with flowers.
The bows are always of a formal
character. their loops supported by q
light frame of wire. That used to trim

black tagalD is in broad black velvet
ribbon. This is arranged in four YER
teal loops. one behind the other. two

1t is well known that singing, like
whistling, is a fine exercise for the
lungs. and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to 60 in for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they. Of course.
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit Of
taking the big deep breath, which is .
primary requisite of any kind of sing
ing, bad or good, and the physical
Joy derived from 1t will never allow
you to relapse into lazy breathing.
