with sore on the top OF the scalp,
broke out as a pimple and grew larger
until il vas e large red spot with a
crust or scab over it. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts Of the
body, the limbs and back and in the
ears. These sores grew larger grad

quarter of a dollar. They would itch
and if scratched they would bleed and

COLLARS AND JAB0TS
THAT GIVE THE
TOUCH OF INDIVIDUALITY,
Choice Of Styles is Wide. Therefore
Selection Should Not Be Hurried
iy Made-Two of the Pref
tiest Popular Designs.

The simplest frock of linen and
gingham can be given a touch Of indi-
Viduality by the collar and jabot,
which can reflect the new styles,
show handwork and give freshness in
either white or color at the top Of the
blouse
TWine-colored etamine is combined
with strawberry pink linen in a pretty
collar. This is a plain shape, but the
alliance Of the two materials gives an
extremely smart effect At the cor
ners are conventional roses embroid-
cred IN pink wool. Two long ends of
the etamine are edged with pink linen
and embroidered.
Pale blue linen is also seen, com
biDed with sheer white linen. the
latter tucked and forming the upper
part OF the collar. The vandyke points
are OF blue and points Of ecru lace
finish the collar, the whole being
edged with 4 pleating of sheer linen.
broad tucked bib hangs in front,
the points of blue linen and heavy
lace edging it. A pink ribbon bow
trims the top.
Another extremely popular model is
Of pale pink linen combined with fine
white linen and Irish lace. Pink coral
buttons are used on the pleated jabot.
and long lines of pink floss are en-
broidered on the edge Of the. top col
lar and the long iabot.
Striped linen in blue and white
trims a collar with the straight vest
effect. This shows width over the
shoulders, very shallow in front. A
band of striped linen is set lone inch
in from the edge, ruffle Of linen fin
ishing it, The straight piece in front
is of striped linen in the center and
narrow strips on each side trimmed
with pearl buttons and loops on SOU
tache. Around the straight piece is a
Tuffe of linen
Heavy raspberry linen is used
to trim a collar of sheer white linen
IN a modified sailor collar The
pointed top is of pink, with the color
carried out in embroidery in each
corner. A pleated white jabot drops
down from the center. The pointed
end is edged with pink and line of
pink linen buttons trims the front.
Any color with white will carry out
this idea
The high price of hand-worked col
lars and jabots puts a variety of them
beyond the reach of the usual purse,
if they must be bought. Handwork
should be possible to every woman
who is not an idiot. 1t is easy and
admits of many innovations. It can
be equally effective in either simple
OF elaborate form. It's distinctive, in
diVidual note is always appreciated
by the well-dressed woman. How
easy it is! If you once try the touch
of handwork, especially on accesso-
ries, you will become an ardent fol-
lower of the thread and needle. It
will in all cases lead you to success.

Now see here. Percy said Mrs.

noon l left seven large doughnuts in

Il also left half Of a good-sized
chocolate cake and a dozen cookies n
the cake box Now there are only six
cookies and about third Of the cake
left. Do you know anything about
that?"
Well, a fellow wants something TO
eat when he has been pegging away
in school all afternoon, doesn't he?'
q also left eight cranberry tarts
and a large miRce pie in the pantry.
Now there are five OF the tarts and
good quarter of the pie is gone. Have
you anything to say about that?
We'll. I was hungry when got
home from school, and I"
Il had Jane make q nice dessert OF
lady-fngers and whipped cream for

it is gone, together with lot of the
white meat OF chicken | had saved

know anything about that7"
There's plenty Of the stuff left for
dessert. and there wasn't hardly any
Of the chicken anyhow
But there was lot of honey left
when I went away this afternoon. and
II isn't here now, and half Of the ccf-
fee cake I was saving for breakfast
is gone, and someone has opened that
jar of orange marmalade | was saving
for company Have you anything to
say about that?"
We'll. tell you I was hungry. and
wanted little something to eat, and
SO ="
And so you opened that glass of
extra choice currant jam and ate up
nearly a whole package of those little
afternoon teas, and drank half a pint
Of cream, and most Of the pound Of
raisins and all the nuts l left here at

HUMBLE "BIDDY" BEST
IN THE END, MORE PROFITABLE
THAN THE OSTRICH.
Figures Would Seem to Show That
Bird of Priced Plumage Is Prime
Investment, but There Are
Drawbacks.

No, she is not one of the $4,000
cially when it comes to laying eggs.
She is any one of the several thou
sand ostrich hens that may now be
found in some of our western states.
You can figure it out for yourself. An
c-trich hen, good" one, will lay
about 100 eggs a year. anc each egg
contains as much food-n material as 80
ordinary hens eggs. That gives the
ostrich credit for furnishing egg-food
amounting to 5000 hens eggs per
year
But let's not all goaintos theeostrich
business. There are several draw
backs. One Of them is that it costs
twenty dollars year to keep an
ostrich, or Whereabouts, and they do
not begin to lay until they are four
years old. Then there is the first cost
no little item, as six-months-old
birds old enough TO begin laying cost
$500 a pair. Rather, they are held to
be worth that, as the ostrich breeders
will seldom sell bird at any price.
There is also the inconvenience of
handling. The kick of an ostrich will
discount airy exercise of a mules hind
legs about 100 per cent, ana they are
said so be far from sweet-tempered,
especially during the plucking season.
Being eight feet tall, an ostrich that
got really out of patience at a person
would be rather more difficult to
handle than a mad sitting hen. and
most Of US find the latter lady all We
want to tackle. On the whole, per
hapG We would be wiser 20 stick TO the
barEyard biddy for Ordinary purposes,
though the beauty of tie aristocratic
Mr. Ostrich should prove great temp
t,-ti,'n to desert our first love.
Then, too, the Lacy of the Plumes
is, IL the truth were toEd, rather lazy.
Shn does not even Eay her eggs in
the nest her mate hes carefully pre-
pared for her half the time. She
leaves them scattered about just as it
happens, and her patient consort has
to soll them into tha nest himself.
Then, too, he gets mort of the sitting
TO 60, as his proud vile refuses to do
nest duty except for little while in
the daytime.
Often lncubators are used for
Matching the ostrich chicks, and then
there need be no family quarrels Oh
the subject. The incubators used must
be peculiar in construction, as one of
the eggs is five inches long. Machines
holding about fifty eggs are generally
employed.

Bow Scouts Like KNIGHTS of Old.

When good King Arthur ruled, boys
were trained for knighthood, says a
writer in the Christian Herald. This
began when they were seven or eight
years of age. Their first course was
when they gave seven or eight years
of constant attendance and waiting
upon q master and mistress. They
we're taught religion and morals and
love by the chaplain. They were
taught to walk as soldiers. and to ride
as brave hunters. They were accus-
toned to military exercises and ath.
letic sports They voluntarily suf
fered heat and cold, hunger and thirst,
fatigue and sleeplessness in order that
they might become hardened. When
between fifteen and sixteen years OF
age the pages" became "squires." and
in the ordinary course of chivalrous
education "knighthood' was reached
in early manhood. There is much in
the Boy Scout movement of today that
reminds us of the training for knight
hood The solemn promise made by
a Boy Scout at his initiation is Il viii
be a friend to every living creature,
man or beast, and q brother to every
other scout. fortunate or unfortunate,
rich or poor. l will be courteous
to all"

Secret of PerpetuaI Youth.

Fall in love and keep constantly
falling in love if you wish to remain
young. said Dr. Josiah Oldfeld. in the
course of one of his lectures on the
Secret of Perpetual Youth"
There is nothing more important
than this to prevent men and women
from growing old
If you are married. all you have to
do is to fall in love all over again
with your husband or your wife. If
you do this you will never find time
to adopt the nagging habit. and moth
ing ages like matrimonial nagging."
Dir. Oldfeld is strong in his denun-
citation of the loveless individual.
If YOU do not know how to fall in
love-. he says, you must practice
until you learn, and when you have
learned then you are young again.

Helps Telephone Talk.

What is hailed as a great improve
ment in telephony is an improved
transmitter which has been recently
devised by a French physician and
which was recently described by Prof.
d'Arsoncal before the French Acad-
envy of Sciences. The inventor is Dr..
Jules Glover, and is based on his OBJ
servation that many of the sounds es-
Gaping from the larynx are divided in
the throat and a large portion of
them are emitted through the nose.
With the type of receiver now made
use Of these are lost, but he has de-
signed a receiver with TWO diaphragms,
one much more sensitive than the
other, and the nasal sounds are trans
mitted through this auxiliary diaph-
ragm This improvement is said to
completely remove some Of the diff
culties to conversation which have
hitherto existed. and makes it posi-
Bile to carry on conversation over
longer distances than heretofore.

lies HerseIf to 4 Man.

The motion-picture theater was well
filed the other afternoon when stout
woman entered and wedged herself in
next to a slender man, For time
both appeared extremely interested in
the pictures. Then the woman noticed
that one of her shoe-laces was undone
After something Of a struggle she bent
over and finally succeeded in bringing
both the laces together. A few min
utes later the man arose as though to
start for the door. Down he went in
the aisle and the woman gave vent to
an exclamation. The audience turned
from the Pickering to the real catas~
trophe. She had knotted her shoe
lace with his. 1t was several minutes
before the pair untangIed and united.

Trimmings of flowers are much used
on dancing COWS. Sometimes the
low-cut neck Is edged with a small
wreath Of rosebuds or other flowers,
and the same trimming idea is carried
out In the skirt. Occasionally the
flowers are put on the lining, so that
only a glimpse can be had. This
is also very effective Many dance

DRESS HAIR TO SUIT FACE
While Prevailing Styles May Be Fol-
lowed, individuality Is Always to
Be Considered.

There are some women who remain
true to the parting in the middle Of
the hair, + It the many prefer the part
ing on the side. The forehead is en-
tiTely covered, as are the ears, and
there is no bulge anywhere over the
surface of the head. The 1iatter the
better. This is the fashion. Every
individual must modify it to suit her
head and her face, for it is inartistic
and foolish to follow any fashion with
out regard to your personal appear
ance.
If a parting is not becoming, then
omit it and draw the hair softly
back. If ones eyes are at their worst
with the hair brought down to the
eyebrows, then it must be lifted
The main mistake that nearly every
woman makes in arranging her hair
according to the new fashion is in run
ming it down in bias line from the
middle of the forehead TO the lobe
Of the ear. 1t was this line On each
side of the temples that contributed
TO the hideousness of the 1865 couture.
Women who take the time and
trouble to study their faces never use
this line. You will notice that they
make it as regular as though it were
carelessly scaIoped across the brow
and temples. They give it an inward
curve at the end of each eyebrow and
then bring it out in front of each ear.
This line is as old as art itself and
can be seen on any Of the famous pic
lures and statuary. 1t is not Grecian
in its stricteSt sense, but it is classic.
Of course the outward sWerve iii front
of the ears is highly exaggerated by
