THE DOCTOR’S IDEA.

Invalid—Doctor, I must positively insist upon knowing the worst. Dr. Wise —Well, I guess my bill will be about SBS.

LEG A MASS OF HUMOR

“About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch It, and it began to spread until my leg from my> ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would have to scratch it until I had the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffering during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescribable on paper and one has to experience it to know what it is. “I tried all kinds of doctors and remedies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cutlcura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuticura Resolvent in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, the trouble had entirely disappeared and my leg was as fine as the day I was born. Now after a lapse of six months with no signs of a recurrence I feel perfectly safe in extending to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, 312 E. Cabot St., Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1909.”

The secret of life is not to do what one likes, but to try to like that which one has to do; and one does like it—in time.—D. M. Craik. The minute a man begins to try to save money his friends call him a tightwad.

WOMANS SPHERE

BEST MODELS STAY GIRLS MUST WAIT UNTIL OCTOBER FOR NEW STYLES. Scarcely a Dress Now Being Made -—-That Is Not Intended for Late Autumn Wear—Thin Stuffs Used. It is pretty safe to assume that there will be no absolutely new fashions until October, so that the prettiest styles now offered for girls may be employed until then with perfect safety. In fact, there is scarcely a dress now being made that is not intended for quite late autumn use, all the fashionable leaning toward thin

stuffs and pale tones making this feasible. “All of the best models now in use,” said a leading dressmaker, “will be carried over for girls, with such changes of a slight order as the present trend seems to indicate. And without a doubt such changes will include the narrowing of skirts. Fundamentally, the cut of frocks is the same as in the spring with this single exception—the skirt is growing daily closer in effect, if not actually narrow-

PRETTY TEA CUP PIN-CUSHION

Charming Little Japanese China Ornaments That Specially Lend Themselves to Making of Pin Cushions. Among those charming little Japanese china ornaments—tea cups, sugar basins, vases, etc., there are many that specially lend themselves to the making of pretty little pincushions, and they may be easily transformed into an article of this kind by merely filling them with cot-ton-wool and covering them in the upper part with velvet. In our sketch may be seen a quaint little Japanese double-handled cup treated in this manner. The color of

the velvet used for the cushion should be carefully chosen to harmonize with the color of the china, and it may be fastened in its place just inside the edge of the cup with a little seccotine. Apart from the ordinary usefulness of a little pincushion of this nature, these little Japanese cups and saucers always make dainty ornaments, and look wonderfully pretty upon a dressing table. Smart little bows of ribbon tied round the handles would go still further to make this article decorative, and the saucer forms a useful receptacle for hair-pins, buttons

er. Sometimes it is made by the cut, which is so done as to give a drawn-ln look about the ankles. Again there will be very flat plaits stitched to a closely-fitting hip-yoke which comes far below the hips. Still again there are hip shirrings or bands put below the knees to keep the skirt breadths flat, these devices permitting more ease in walking than the narrow cuts allow. But so far I have avoided the use of any exaggerated style for misses, as the very narrow frocks are extremely odd looking, and anything that attracts attention is not the best taste for a young girl. At present there is a special demand for three models —the coat style for stout linens and serges, the tunic one for more elegant materials and some little gathered models that would be suitable for muslins, thin mercerized cottons, etc.” For the coat suit, which is so importa- '-. a feature of the miss’ wardrobe, there are beautiful double-width linens in the smart coarse weaves going at 50 cents a yard. Five yards will make a dress for a girl sixteen years old, the coat coming something below the hips and the skirt a plain gored model. The dress, then, if made at home, buttons and furnishings excepted, would cost only two dollars and a half. For the tunic dress, there is nothing prettier than voile or marquisette, and without a doubt such textiles will be worn in the house all winter long. Our illustration shows the coat gown approved by fashion and good sense. The skirt adopts some of the growing scantness, but it is still wide enough for easy movement and good taste. The single-breasted coat fastens with three buttons, and has the plain back smartness demands, for the moment a coat has a middle seam at the back it cannot possibly have a new look. For this dress linen, pongee or rajah silk would be excellent material for the present moment —deep blue linen, oyster white pongee or beige rajah, for the correct tone of either white or tan is a matter of importance. So when buying remember that a cream white is not quite so stylish as one which has a grayish tone and that any shade of tan is mure effective if it is not too yellow. A gray linen would be immensely smart for the dress, this without .any tinge of slate color, however, for the fashionable gray is rather on the tone of the summer sky at noonday—it is very pale, deliciously cool looking and very becoming.

A Toilet Novelty.

A small silver novelty that makes a useful gift for a traveler—especially in summer—is a flat, plain silver case to hold the books of powder paper. The case is double, clasping like a card case, and is made with an inner rim, beneath which the powder book covers are slipped. Marked with a monogram on one side and date on the other, such a case makes a useful engagement present; unmarked it is suitable for a prize.

and those little odds and ends that have such a habit of accumulating upon a dressing-table. For sale in a bazaar, too, these pincushions should prove most attractive, and they are easily ard quickly prepared and very inexpensive to make.

SIMPLICITY IS THE KEYNOTE

This Season’s Linen and Cotton Dresses Are Cut on Simple .j. Lines. Linen and cotton dresses are this season cut on simple lines that never fall to please. Gingham, madras, percale and the various linen patterns depend largely upon their perfection of fit. Many of the dresses are arranged with belts that are sufficient in themselves, but allow the addition' of the wide leather belts so much in vogue. Simplicity is the keynote of the summer frock. The Individual touch can be given by applying the decoration in embroidery of an unpretentious sort, either to the collar and cuffs, on plain linen or to the embroidery that is used as trimming. The decoration of the summer frock must not be overdone. Just a few masses of color, will suffice, and the more dashy and, of necessity, quickly done uie stitches the better. A belt of patent leather or soft suede is the usual thing, giving a tailored finish to the dress and solving the difficulties at the waist line. And last of all, if you possibly can wear the collarless frock, take advantage of the cool comfort that is attractive, clean and that is so easily achieved by the home dressmaker.

Mending Kid Gloves.

When a tiny hole appears in a black or white kid grove, instead of sewing it cover it on bvth sides with a bit of court plaster and press the two pieces closely together until fast bound. The hole will not again show itself, and the method is easier and better looking than sewing on kid.

HOSTESS HAD TO OWN UP

Domestic Secret Disclosed When the Guest Could Not Be Served With Pie, She was a woman pf resource and ability and when her .husband arrived for dinner with an unexpected guest she thought she had devised a way to meet the fact that she had but one piece of pie in the house and had Intended ter husband should have that. She instructed him that when she sent to the kitchen for dessert he was to say he could, not possibly eat any more than he had eaten and then the pie could, be brought to her guest without his surmising that there was but one piece in the house. This might have worked out all rlght ls ; thy'Dle had not been so bxceedingly good and her husband had not known this because he had it for dinner the day before. When the maid cleared away the dinner dishes the master of the house said he had no room for dessert. The guest said he felt the same way. Then, when the master thought it was safe to do so he changed his mind and said after all he guessed he would take dessert. The pie was brought. When it was half eaten the guest said it looked so good he thought he, too, would indulge. “No, you won’t,” said the hostess, and she told the tale of the pie.

Had Lost Faith In Doctors and Medicines

“I wish to thank you for the sample of Resinol Soap sent me several weeks ago,” writes Mrs. M. F. Clemmer, Sunbury, Pa. “At that time my baby’s face was like a raw and bleeding piece of meat. Medicine from three different physicians, besides various salves recommended by friends, all seemed to make the Eczema worse. Then another mother recommended Resinol Ointment which I procured at once, although I had no more faith in it than in the rest I had tried; but never did I spend fifty cents to better advantage. The first and second days I noticed a remarkable change, and now at the end of the third week, my pretty blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked baby is perfectly well again. I think the cure was surely something remarkable. Resinol Ointment and Soap did in three weeks what everything else failed to do in four months. My baby had been positively disfigured, now his complexion is all right again.” Resinol Ointment cures all skin troubles, from pimples to the most disfiguring eruptions and rashes. The first application stops the intense itching of Eczema, Itching Piles, Pruritus, etc., and subdues the pain of a burn or scald instantaneously. It is sold in every leading drug store in the world.

Keeping It Dry.

An old woman of a wealthy New Jersey family was going visiting. The coachman, who had not been in this country long, had just been equipped with a new uniform and a new silk hat. Before they had gone far it began to sprinkle, and the old woman told the coachman to fasten down the side curtains of the wagonette. He drove up to a hitching post beside the road and, dismounting, hung his new hat on the post, and began to fasten the curtains. The old woman noticed his bare head and asked him where his hat was. “01 took it off me head, mum, so as it wouldn’t get wet,” the coachman replied.

Another Tradition Exploded.

Two Englishmen were resting at the "Red Horse Inn” at Stratford-on-Avon. One of them discovered a print picturing a low tumbling building underneath which was printed: “The House in Which Shakespeare Was Born.” Turning to his friend in mild surprise he pointed to the print His friend exhibited equal surprise, and called a waiter who assured them of the accuracy of the inscription. “ ’Pon my word,” said the observing Englishman, shaking his head dubiously, “I thought he was born in a manger! ” —Success Magazine.

Woman's Power Over Man a Jfc] Woman’s most glorious endowment is the power to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a 'fIMH worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on, no one in the wide world can know the heart agony ■ • . she endures. The woman who suffers from weak- ■ ness and derangement of her special womanly organism soon loses the power to sway the heart of a man. Her general health suffers and she loses her good looks, her attractiveness, her amiability and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R.V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y., with the assistance of his staff of able physicians, has prescribed for and cured many thousands of women. He has devised a successful remedy for woman’s ailments. It is known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It is a positive specific for the weaknesses and disorders peculiar to women. It purifies, regulates, strengthens and heals.

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON

Per Cent, of Sufferers Is Enormous and There Seems but One Remedy. From several investigations that have been made by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, it is estimated that on an average about fifteen per cent, of the prison population of the country is afflicted with tuberculosis. On this basis, out of the 80,000 prisoners housed in the penal institutions of the United States at any given time, not less than 12,000 are infected with this disease. If the Philippine islands and other insular possessions were taken into consideration the number would be much larger. Some of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kansas and Ohio, show such shocking conditions with reference to tuberculosis that many wardens admit that these places of detention are death traps. Similar conditions could be found in almost every state, and in the majority of cases the only sure remedy is the destruction of the old buildings and the erection of new ones.

A New Version.

Lawyers have a peculiar system of abbreviation, such words as trustees, executors being cut down to trees, exors, and admors. This practise led to an amusing slip on the part of a solicitor who,- somewhat late in life, abandoned his profession and entered the church. A few Sundays after his ordination he startled his congregation while reading the lesson by delivering one of the passages as follows: “I see men as trustees walking.” He is a good time-saver that finds out the fittest opportunity for every action. —Thomas Fuller.
