years I suffered very greatly from skin

irritated, being almost covered with
pimples and blackheads. The pimplea
were scattered over my face. They
were a fine rash with the exception OF
a few large pimples on my forehead
and chin. My face burned and looked
red as If exposed to ether heat or

very uncomfortable. I tried several
remedies but couldn't get any relief

AMONG THE NEW TRIMMINGS
Bright CoIors Observation-Disclosures
Design on Silk Braid Makes In
expensive Nesting.

The separate motif of black Brus-
sells net, embroidered in silk and
be AIDED in Bulgarian colors Of red, blue
and green, is invaluable in supplying
a needed touch to trimming or a
bright note of color. Embroidered in
old green and blue floss with threads
of gold brussels net is handsome for a
vest or waistcoat. A Bulgarian de-
sign on silk braid makes an inexpen-
sive vesting. A banding of honiton
braid and small colored roses applied
on a black net ground gives distinc-
ton to d cotton crepe.
Silk bands supporting velvet for
get-me-nots and roses form pretty
trimming for debutante dresses. An
insertion of multt-patterned linen lace
On batiste is an ideal trimming for a
lingerie dress, as it gives the impress
sion that the banding is woven IN as
part of the frock Beautiful Japanese
crepe in a design of bowknots and
flowers would be very smart If used
for sleeves or even for pannfer. An
effective lining for wrap is the soft,
pussy-willow crepe, splashed with
bouquets of pansies.

SILK FROCk ALWAYS
ONE OF THE REQUIREMENT. OF
SUMMER WARDROBE.
Fills a Need That 1t Seems No Other
Material Can Decentralization
of the Plain and Figured
Most Attractive.

The present fancy for novelty cot
ton weaves, quite excusable in view
Of the beauty and distinction of the
new cotton materials, has, by no
means, ousted the silk frock from its
proud position as a first requirement
II woman's summer wardrobe. Such
q Trock fills a multitude of needs that
could be supplied By no cotton woven
costume, however attractive. And the
simple, yet smart silk frock for sum
mer days is considered too much OF
standby to be easily given up in
favor OF any newcomer Of cotton per
suasion. Even if this were not so,
the new silks. displayed now in tempt
ing profusion, could scarcely be over
looked. They make a tremendous ap-
peal to the woman who loves beautiful
fabrics by reason of their soft, grace
fully clinging texture and their ex-
quisite and subtle color-b blending.
Particularly fashionable is the com
bination Of plain and figured silk, the
most effective combination of this
sort being achieved with brocade and
crepe meteor or crepe charmeuse.
Simpler frocks of figured foulard in
combination with plain colored crepe

various needs of ordinary foulard or

JUST AS GOOD AS THE FERN
FIowerinq CycIamen Would Be Change
in Decoration, and Is Equally to
Be Depended Upon.

The ever present fern dish as cen
terpiece for the dinner table has be-
come almost as much a part of the
service as the knives and forks Or as
cereal for breakfast in the American
household, and when one ventures to
suggest that change would be quite
cheering to the spirits as well as the
eye, every one says: But there's no
other plant that can be depended up
on!" There is, though, and a very
hardy one. This is the Towering cycla-
men, either white or the deep rose
color, which will put forth new shoots
and new blossoms continually from
November to April, and it is such q
graceful, pretty plant, which instead
of growing less attractive after q few
blossoms have bloomed and fallen, be-
comes bushier and more interesting
each day.
The original cost is small, a dollar
or so buying a very good specimen,
and if planted in wide, low flower
pot and set in a pretty basket, one has
a charming plant, suitable for any one
or all Of ones informal home meals.

LIKE THE JAPANESE SCHEME
One of the Latest and Most Effective
Ideas in the Decoration of
the House.

The taste for strong colors and bold
designs is extended to home decora-

looking around for ideas for removal

appeal most strongly.
The heavy bronze gold Japanese pa
pers, paneled rather wide, with deep
beading in duIled metal, look very
handsome for large dining rooms or
spacious halls, with very deep fringe
in rich japanese design on black
ground.
The japanese grass cloth. a kind OF
fiber, is another simpler style, treated
with the paneled effect, in dark oak
battens. The burlap is style or wall
decoration to be recommended Tor

brushed and distempered over in any
other color and always looks well. Oak
battens form panels here also. other
less expensive Japanese designs ia pa

The trial at Crakow of Polish ad-

to grief through gambling has been
the occasion of some curious revela-
tons about the hold which this vice
has on business men in Austrian Po-
land.
DR.. Steinfeld's wife in her endeavor
to keep her husband out OF temptation
tried the plan of never leaving him
out of her sight even when he went
to his Office The lawyer then made
practice of going to bed early and
rising at in the morning before his
wife was awake in order to hurry off
to the so-called Monte Carlo" at
Crakow, which he would find still in
full swing at that hour. When stay
ing at hotels during the summer he
would arrange meetings with other
card players in the bathroom and play
there for hours, while he told his wife
that he was taking a cold water cure.

IN a London museum as to the validity

materials are easy to drape, and fall
almost of their own accord into cor

trotter frock of silk can be turned out
these days in the home sewing room.
Everything is bloused-bodiCes, drap-

itself to the bloused effect better than

Brocaded crepes are exceedingly
fashionable and correspondingly ex-
pensive, but, as every woman knows,
crepe de chine is always an excellent
investment. 1t wears we'll and dyes
beautifully, and may even be washed

new shades are wonderful and one is
impressed with the preponderance OF
rose tints, Nell rose cerise, American

favorites in these tones. Special favor
is also accorded to the brown and yell

CHAPTER xi.
Above the Trap-Doors.

The next day he saw her at the
opera. She was still wearing the
plain gold ring She was gentle and
kind to him. She talked to him Of
the plans which he was forming, of
his future, Of his career.
He told her that the date of the
Polar expedition had been put forward
and that he would leave France in
three weeks, or month at least.
She suggested, almost gaily, that he
must look upon the voyage with de-
light, as a stage toward his coming
fame. And when he replied that
fame without love, was no attraction
in his eyes. she treated him as child
whose sorrows were only short-lived.
How can you speak so lightly of
such serious things?" he asked. Per
haps we shall never see each other
again! | may die during that expedt-
tom
"Or l." she said simply.
She no longer smiled or TESTED. She
seemed to be thinking of some new
thing that had entered her mind for
the first time Her eyes were all
aglow with it.
What are you thinking Of. Chris
tine?"
81 am thinking that We shall not
see each other again
sand does that make you so radi-
anti"
And that, in a month, we shall
have to say good-by for ever!"
Unless, Christine, we pledge our
faith and wait for each other for
ever"
She put her hand on his mouth.
Hush, Raoul! 49,. You know
there is no question of that g.
And we shall never be married; that
is understood"
She seemed suddenly almost unable
to contain an overpowering gaiety.
She clapped her hands with childish
glee. Raoul stared et her in amaze
ment.
But but" she continued,
holding out her two hands to Raoul,
or rather giving them to him, as
though she had suddenly resolved to
make him a present of them, but It
we cannot be married, we can
we can be engaged! Nobody viii know
but ourselves, Raoul There have
been plenty of secret marriages; why
not a secret engagement? We
are engaged, dear, for month! In a
month, you will go away, and 1 can
be happy at the thought of that month
all my life long!"
