But because all these strange and in

The frock I have sketched herewith
shows a most pleasing combination of
taffeta and dotted swiss. To obtain the
best effect a very sheer swiss must be Sc

is changeable blue and lavender.
Don't get an idea that it is impracti-

cerned-because. you see. the taffeta part
of the dress is not attached to the swiss,
but put on separately over it, and besides
from the real charm of the design this
Is a great big point in its favor.
First there is a dress of swiss; skirt
and waist attached. The body portion of
the waist is of net to avoid unnecessary
material and to this the long. dotted
swiss sleeves are attached and also the
little shirred yoke across the front There
is long, fun tunic over a net foundation
skirt to which a dotted swiss border is
added where it shows below the tunic.

The result of this thought is attractive
and women look much better dressed in
the present styles than they did when
they loaded the garment with unneces-

a good taste in lace, or the purse to buy
good quality: consequently miles of the
fashion of wash waists fell into dis
repute.
The first advance in the new kind of

BABY HAD PAINFUL ECZEMA

R. F. d. No. 1, Lucerne, Colo.-
About two years ago my baby, who
about four months old at that
time, was afflicted with eczema which
at first appeared on the back of the
neck and kept constantly enlarging.
The eczema broke out in a rash at
first and it was small and rough and
very red. 1t itched and burned so
much that he could not sleep well,
continually turning and twisting his
head as the eczema was on the back
of his neck where he could lot get to
it to scratch well. But in rubbing so
much it became red and almost raw.
1t seemed very painful as the child
fretted constantly. After some time a
similar trouble appeared on the
cheeks.
"At last a friend advised me to try
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. l sent
for a sample and this did so much
good l bought a cake of Cuticura Soap
and the C~uticura Ointment. l used

Evidently French Restaurant Wine
Was Not Exactly the Quality

William f. Corey praised at a Pitts

wines of a similar price in France,

PIONEERS OF THE FRONTIER
Red-BIooded Men and Women Were
Those Who Carved an Empire
From Wilderness.

No doubt the run of the continent"
has improved the fiber of the Ameri-
can people. OF course, the well estab-
lished and the intellectuals had no mo-
tive to seek the west; but in energy
and venturesomeness those who sought
the frontier were superior to the
average of those in their class who
stayed behind. 1t was the pike rather
than the arp that found their way
out of the pool. Now, in the main,
those who pushed through the open
door of opportunity left more children
than their fellows who did not. Often
themselves members of large families,
they had fecundity, as it were, in the
blood. With land abundant and the
outlook encouraging, they married
earlier. In the narrow life of the
young west, love and family were
stronger interests than in the older
society; hence all married. Thanks
to cheap living and to the need of
helpers, the big family was welcomed.
Living by agriculture, the west knew
little of cities, manufactures, social
rivalry, luxury and a serving class, all
foes of rapid NATURALIZATION
