WORN AT RECENT WEDDING
Costumes of Bride and Attendants
That Were the Last Word for
Such Occasions.

At a recent wedding OF Importance
some OF the costumes were note
worthy.
The brides gown was of silver and
white brocaded satin, deliberately en-
broidered and trimmed with alencen
lace. The square court train was
three yards in length.
1t was almost completely covered
with a veil of rare old lace, a family
heirloom
The honor maid wore a dainty frock
of palest pink mousseline de sole over
a faint tint of blue liberty silk.
The bodice had a dropped fichu OF
finest Chant1IIy lace caught slightly
to the left side with a cluster of small
silk roses, in the pastel shades OF vio-
let, pink and yellow.
A deep f1ounce of six scaIIoped pleat-
ings of the mousseltne trimmed the
skirt. Small clusters of the roses
were placed at intervals around the
founce.
With this gown was worn a fas-
cinating bonnet Of shirred mousseIine
de sole of paIest blue. A narrow
pleating finished the edge and a
wreath Of small silk roses, matching
those used upon the frock, enc1rcIed
the crown and adorned the bonnet
strings.

the period between the Old Testament

Greek phalanx on the worlds battle
field and brought IN his train itera-
ture and art, and set upon the stage
Of the world that Greek civilization
into which the New Testament intro
duces US, which had displaced the
thoroughly Semitic civilization of the
close of the Old Testament.
Alexander with his sword carved out
the way for the new civilization that
was to help make up the "fullness of
the times" for the Saviour of the world
and the saving of the world. In Gods
strange providence this ambitious
world ruler is the great colossus of
Oriental history. He stands astride the
gap between the old world of mar
row Orientalism to which the old dis
pensation belongs and the world wide
hopes to which the Christ of the New
Testament bade the world lift up its
eyes.

CHARACTER SHOWN BY DRESS
Value, as Setting for the Personality,
Varies With the Moods of
the Wearer.

No woman can afford to be indiffer-
ent in the matter of costume, and all
women are more or less Influenced by
what they wear.
One damsel sWaggers about in mas
cuIine effects, heavy boots, stiff collar,
tailored coat, etc, another is sweetly
feminine in fluffy ruff1es, picture hat,
chifOns, laces and parasol, and the
indiffereice to appearances is almost
invariably exactly what she looks
straight-laced, prim, severe, cold, in
capable of any flight of fancy, lacking
the power of sympathy, and with no
intricate uncertainties to soften the
hardness of her character.
Equally true is the fact that a gown
which is extremely becoming today is
very mediocre tomorrow. It's value as
a setting for the personality varies
with the moods Of the wearer. When
encouragement, depression and a gen
eral feeling Of dullness envelops one
IL a gray cloud the tendencJ is to don
black, a gray or dull brown gown.
Such choice is a great mistake, tend
ing to accentuate the gloom about the
wearer. Crush such a choice under
foot anu choose instead the liveliest
dress in your wardrobe. Something
with red. brilliant green, bright blue
or any vivid tone.

ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

az the undersigned, cannot give
enough praise to the Cuticura Rem
edies. I had been doctoring for at
least a year for eczema on my foot
had tried doctor after doctor all to
no avail. When young girl sprained
my ankle three different times, paying
little or no attention to it, when five
years ago a small spot showed upon
my left ankle. I was worried and sent
for a doctor. He said 1t was eczema
He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size of a match and about
an inch long The small hole grew
to about the size Of an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc
tors never could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all
the time.
my husband and my sons were up
night and day wheeling me from one
room to another in the hope Of giving
me some relief. I would sit for hours
at a time in front Of the fireplace
hoping for daybreak The pain was
so intense 1 was almost crazy, in fact,
/ would lose my reason for hours at
a time. One day a friend OF mine
dropped in to see me. No more had
she glanced at my foot than she eZ-
claimed: Mrs. Finnegan, why in the
world don't you try the Cuticura Rem
ediesl' Being Disguised with the doc
tors and their medicines, and not be-
ing able to sleep at all, I decided to
give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment trial. After using them
three days that night I slept as sound
as a silver dollar for eight long hours.

little pain, in fact, I thought I was

TWENTY YEARS OF
TERRIBLE ITCHING
Untold Agony, Ashamed to Be Seen
Nothing Helped. Reslnoi Instantly
Relieved and Trouble Passed Away.

Such is the story of Thomas G. Hull.
New Haven, Conn. Every sufferer
from tormenting skin troubles should
profit by his experience, told in lis
own words:
For twenty years or more was
troubled with terrible itching Of the
body, arms and legs. I suffered IN
told agony; could hardly sleep at
night, and was actually ashamed to be
seen. I obtained a small jar Of Resi-
mol Ointment, applied same, and was
instantly relieved. then purchased q
cake of Resinol Soap and used 1t In
connection with the Ointment. The
itching soon became less, and In q
short time entirely passed away"
AS Mr. Hul1's letter shows, Resinol
Ointment stops itching instantly. Used
with ResinoI Soap 1t is the quickest
easiest, and most economical treat
ment for eczema. rashes, letter, ring
worm. pimples and other skin affec-
tons, as well as for burns, scalds,
boils, ulcers and itching, bleeding and

Alas for the pride of the Turks,
recent elaborate study of all the known

there to that prophet.

Many Shades of Red.

The new combination in smart after

1t is not new fashion to mingle pur-
pie and red, but for a while it went
out; now it seems to have returned
through the insisting influence of Paul
Poiret, who has never ceased to love
and use it, so that it has become more
credited to his name than to any 9TH
