They've come to it at last-women

be there with the merchandise this
season.
Ever since the day after Father
Adam sunk his molars into the for

day the he" contingent mas had a

concerning this awakening see Mrs.

muhdahm has sighted in her wild

she's making strides, and in the future
will doubtless make longer ones-trou-

than tube skirts. That's q year ahead,
however.
For this season, muhdahm will con-
tent herself with pegtop skirts. Yes,
III very same. They made the college
type famous and now give the ladies
a chance.
Gaudy Waist Coats.
Wide tops, with wings sprouting
from the hips and the tiniest sort of
bottoms will be the thing. To go with
the pegs she will affect a short and
very mannish oat and a vest. OF

Weddlna solemnitx.

There is no talk. no levity, and
much crying at a Chinese marriage
ceremony. and the solemnity of a fu-
neral prevails. After the exchange Of
presents the bride is dressed with
much care. A feast is spread upon a
table to which the bride is led by five
Vt her intimate female friends. They
are seated at the table. but no one
eats. Absolute silence prevails. Sud
denly the brides mother begins cry
ing, the maids follow, and the bride
joins In the dismal chorus. Then all
the bridesmaids leave the table and
the disconsolate mother takes a seat
beside the chair of state where the
bride sits. The bridegroom now en-
tiers with four of his best men. The
men pick up the throne ON which the
bride sits, and, preceded by the bride
groom, form in procession and walk
around the room OF into an adjoining
parlor. signifying that he is carrying
her away to his own home.

WATERY BLlsTERs ON FACE

Smithville. Ind.-"Six months ago
u baby girl. n year old, had a few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and q fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
q small blotch ON the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead Of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
I'VE used q number Of remedies
which seemed to give relief for q short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got a cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap and a box of Cuticura ONT
ment. I washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap.
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times q day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time. Inside Of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-
turn Of the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.
A. K. Wooden, Nov. 4. 1912.
