BUT ONE SCENT Permitted
FastId!ous Woman Knows Better Than
to overdo This Essential Of the
Toilet Table.

There is value in perfumes as a
safeguard against contagion, but most
women of refinement never overdo
this use, but confine it to delicate
fragrance that never offends, as do
gross common scents. The dainty
woman selects special perfume and
uses this only in all her toilet articles.
and 1t Is a fad to select the fragrance
OF some flower that corresponds with
the favorite color. She also has her
satchets, perfume, toilet water, pow
der and soap to correspond.
II any change is made it includes
everything on the dressing table. for
good taste DEGREES that only one IA
vored scent is permissible for each in
dividual. While a little really fine
essence is delightful, a thimbleful of
coarse alcoholic mixtures Is disgust
ing to any sensitive nostril. Satchets
of all sorts are very much used, from
large padded Innings for shelf, drawer
or wardrobe, to smaller and more per-
sonal satchets that are tucked into
the bodice or hidden in the leaf of the
satin corsage flower SO generally
worn.

White PlMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
Of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months, then it
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. It seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts Of his body 1t was
more like water coming out of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full! nights sleep, restless all night.
1.-THE sores were horrid to look at.
II lasted Until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &c.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use --. but it did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura Ofnt.
ment on thick at bed time and put a
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed it clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice day, and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Sulzber

VIOLIN NEEDS SPECIAL CARE
Peculiarly Susceptible to Atmospheric
and Other cQnditiona, az Most
c;*nerSvAre Aware.

The violin and violoncello are most
sensitive to atmospheric conditions
and suffer from atmospheric variations
quite as much as the tender vocal
cords of the singer. Those who have
attempted to make the violin an orna-
ment by hanging it upon the wall have
had reason to repent taking such q
liberty. The violin loses its varnish
and gradually its pitch and timbre.
The artificial heat of rooms in winter
makes its tone raucous when it does
not obliterate it entirely. Metal cases,
morocco covered, are equally unfit for
it. A strong, well-varnished wooden
case. even though it be not especially
attractive to the eye, suits the sus.
capabilities of the violin much better.
Certain qualities. sometimes unsus.
pected. In the wood play an important
part in the Justification of notes, caus.

The unlucky aigrette. despite the ct

Peqtop Coat.

One Of the most graceful forms tain

that in which the garment is made
seven or eight inches too long. The
extra length is then caught up IN q
series of festoons down each side

pannier idea. 1t has the advantage
of not making the figure too much like
the fashionable pegtop.
A typical coat Of the moment in ts:i

the fur at the back held down IN
pleats between the shoulders. The
fullness is again caught in at the
level of the knees by broad band OF
lace fringed with ermine tails. which
draws the Vatican pleat out to its
fullest and holds it tightly in to the
figure.

SOMETHING new IN CUSHIONS
Well Not to Pile Them Up In Too
Much Protusion, but Some Are
Indispensable.

The fad for having divans piled up
with cushions Of promiscuo1s hues is
fortunately out of vogue. but an occa-
sional cushion in the more formal
drawing room, when it is really beau
tiful and artistic, Is still possession
to be priced and is indeed aShing of
beauty, and makes a most acceptable
gift. Such a cushion, instead of being
conspicuous and startling. should rath'
or tone In with the general color
scheme Of the room, and none are
more splendid than those made from
harmonious pieces Of tapestry which
can now be gotten in such exquisite
:olors and designs.
To buy them made up ready for use,
Is rather an impossibility for those OF
moderate means, but they are within
the reach Of almost every woman
who is handy with her needle. and
possesses the necessary patience. Odd
ends Of tapestry, or small remnants
can be picked up very cheaply, and to
make their beauty more pronounced

tional designs or the pattern of which
It is composed with furnished boul-
lion braid in gold, which is round
rather than fiat. and couch this on

TO make the pillow the new oblong
shape, add a strip of velvet to each
end of the tapestry. and this velvet
should match or tone In with the pre-
dominating shade In the tapestry,
Where the velvet and tapestry meet
may be finished with furnished gold
lace, and the same sort Of a cord in
gold Is used around the cushion when
It is complete: The back of the cush-
on is made Of the plain velvet.

New Fashion.

A charming fashion recently revived
at the Paris opera consists In pinning
q couple of flowers upon the bodice
of the simply ydraped gowns in white
or black charmeuse. But these floral
trimmings do not adapt themselves
to the magnificent models in embroi-
dered velvets,> brocaded satins and
gauzes recently launched upon the
stage. nor do they figure on beaded
creations. In the latter case the
yelled effects in spangled tulle and
lace. the draperies and the Innings
Of damask and charmeuse give the
required ornamentation to these beau
tiful toilets.
