A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET
"Four years ago I Buffered severely
with n terrible eczema, being n mass
'of sores from head to feet nnd for bIx
weeks confined to my bed. During
that timo I suffered continual tor
ture from Itching nnd burning. After
being given up by my doctor I was nd
vised to try Cutlcura Remedies. After
tho first bath with Cutlcura Soap nnd
application of Cutlcura Ointment I on
ioyed tho first good sleep during my
entire illness. I also used Cutlcura
Resolvent and tho treatment was con
tinued for about threo weeks. At the
end of that timo I was ablo to bo
lbout tho house, entirely turcd, and
havo felt no 111 effects Blnco. I would
idvlso any person suffering from any
form of skin troublo to try tho Cutl

A moment passed, nnd tho tender

mother, dear?"
"Without removing her hands from
her eyes, sho replied: "I'm grloved
that my son won't take his castor oil

Whereupon Teddy sat up In bed and
offered consolingly: "Oh, I wouldn't

Mourning Styles
By JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
Ail fabrics, whether selected for
costumes or millinery, when ono Is in
mourning, should bo of good, substan
tial quality. All styles or modes se
lected should bo quiet nnd unobtru-
olvo and all workmanship faultless.
Gowns and coats should be made in
tho mqde but not In any extreme of
tho mode. Simplicity of trimming
lends distinction to mourning ap
parel, as well "as "finish," nnd In this
word is held tho secret of 'tho most
elegant nnd desirable results in the
making of mourning clothes. Every
thing must bo beautifully finished nnd
trimmings are most appropriate when
they arc placed to really or apparent
ly finish tho article which they ndorn.
A well made, plain gown of good
material will last out tho term of
mourning if ono follows the conven
tional rules which govern in this mat
ter of time. A well made hnt of
properly- selected "material will out
last the prescribed term of mourning.
Poor taste in dress or conduct is
nover eo inexcusable as when one 1b
In mourning. Our friends are not
charitable when we make mistakes
they cuunot be. Our mistake must be
credited either to carelessness or den
sity. Certain fabrics havo como to be rec
ognized as belonging to and signify
ing mourning. Crapo is appropriate
for deep mourning, that is, mourning
for n near relative, and should bo used
in millinery and as a finish for gowns.
Nothing else can take its place. Next
PRINCESS DRESS.
Our model is in fine serge, but any
other firm but not too thick material
will answer equally woll. Tho uppor
half Is princess, with panel front and
back reaching to tho foot; the kilting
is turned up with u hem about threo
inches deep; it In taped in tho center
nt the wrong Bide; a pretty pnssomen
terie about one and ono-linlf inches
in width Is . used for trimming. Tho
vest is of tucked soft silk, with n box
plait up center front that Is ornament
ed with tiny Jeweled buttons. Collar
and uuderslooveB of piece lace.
Materials required: Seven and one
half yards -IS Inches wldo, 'bis yards
passementerie, one-half yard tucked
II:, thn o-fourtlis yard luce, four
to crape, silk grenadines arc oftcnest
chosen. Nun's veiling, uncut velvet
mourning silks nnd other fabrics hav
ing a deep, soft luster in pure black
are nval'.ablc, but crapo is, for first
mourning, as nothing clso is.
Three line exnmples of mourning'
hats arc shown here. They nro from
an establishment which makes a spe
cial feature of this class of mllllnory.
Its best examples aro found In Amer
ica as the best fabrics nro made iti
Englnnd.
In Fig. 1 a round hat which Is part
turban and part toque In outline Is
very neatly covered with crapo and
has the brim finished with tiny rows
of folds sot very closo togethor. A
beautiful crape veil Is draped about
the hat and falls from tho .back In flat
plaits. An ornamont of dull jet fast
ens the veil to the hat and serves to
finish this excellent examplo of n hat
for deep mourning.
An exquisite hatmadoof crnpe folds
is shown in Fig. 2. Its only decora
tion is a large, beautifully made ro
sette also made of folds, placed at tho
left sldo. This is worn without a veil,
for veils are riot worn by nil mombers
of n family in mourning.
For those who wear mourning for
an Indefinite time, silk grenadine is
usually chosen after tho first mourn
ing of crapo has been discarded. Some
people wear it from tho start and
there is enough latitude in the matter
to allow ono to do this. Fig. 3 illus
trates a beautiful hat and veil of this
charming fabric. The edge of tho hnt
is finished with a rullle made of a nar
row gauge ribbon with border woven
in. A similar doublo runic Is plnced
about the top crown. Tho veil is laid
In folds nnd draped about tho hat,
falling from the back. It has a woven
In border. A largo rosette of the
gauge ribbon finishes this design,
which may be accepted as aA ideal
hat of this material.
Time wns when crape and grena
dines were a luxury of tho rich, for
they were as fragile as thoy are
beautiful. Tho process of cravenot
ting them has so changed this that
they aro now among tho most durnhlo
of all fabrics manufactured. Their
fibers aro practically Impervious to
water. Rain runs through but is not
absorbed by them. In selecting the
material it should be tested, otherwise
It will bo Impossible for tlio purchaser
to be sura of getting tho waterproofed
variety. Water Is ruinous to tho fab
rlcs that havo not been made proof
against it.
The Low-Neck Gown.
It Is unnecessary for a girl or worn
nn to wonder whether sho shall wear
u dinner gown or ono cut at tho neck
when Invited to dine nt tho homo of
n friend. For without exception If
tho Invitation has been given 24 hours
before tho time sot sho may woar a
regulation dinner frock without being
overdressed. Incidentally, she may
don tho same thing even If she has
been Invited on the day of tho evening
set for tho dinner.
In any city a woman ts aiwayB moro
certain of being properly gowned If
hor dreas is cut low, oven though sho
may havo been invited "informally,"
It Is a fad Just now of hostesses to
write or otherwise Invito friends In
formally.

Hints on Carving.
Recnuso ono Ib a woman does not
exempt her from the duties of n carv
er, as tho occasion often arises in tho
nbsonco of tho mnu of tho family,
when it Is necessary to wield the
cnrvlng knife. Cnrvlng Is nn nrt and
to learn to do It easily under the guzo
of n tnblo full of watching eyes, is nn
accomplishment of no menu worth.
Did you over notice how impossible
It is to keop from watching tho move
ments of a carver?
A man who Is tho least self con
scious is most grateful for n wlfo who
can bo so entertaining an to attract
tho nttcntlon to herself during tho
painful operntlon ot cnrvlng n fowl.
Who has not n feeling of sympnthy
for tho poor man who was carving a
gooso when it sllppod from tho pint
tor, ncross tho tnblo nnd Into tho lap
of n Indy guest, tho perturbed carver
cried out: "Madam, I will troublo you
for that gooso."
She, no doubt, was glad to "deliver
tho goods." In cnrvlng, "practlco
makes perfect," but do not offer u
carver a knlfo thnt Is not sharp, for
there is nothing moro exasperating.
Hold tho carving fork firmly in tho
left hand, nnd fix It in tho breast
bono. First cut off both drum stickrf
at th llrst Joint; next romovo tho
second Joints; socond cut off the
wings, and tho wish bono, then enrvo
tho breast In thin slices, Bcrving n
piece of white and dark meat with tho
shifting, to ench person, lly studying
tho location of tha JoIntB, nnd by prac
tice, cnrvlng will become nn easy mnt

grain of tho meat. A steak is carved
by llrst cutting around tho bone, then
cut tho meat In narrow pieces, scry
ing a small pleco of tho tenderloin
with a pleco of tho less tender por
tion. Sand Tarts.
Crcnm one-half cupful of butter, add

Try cooking rlco In a pudding bag,

The Value of Skim Milk,
So many peoplo labor under tho
Impression that skimmed milk Isn't
good for much in tho household. This
prejudice is duo to a lnck of knowl
edge of tho food vnluo of skim milk.
Tho chief elements In milk nro fat,
cuscln, or curd, water, sugnr and min
eral mattor. Wholo milk 1b n porfect
food, and when tho fnt la removed by
skimming, all tho other vulunblo por
tions of tho milk nro still thorc. All
tho curd which promotes growth, la
left in tho flklm milk. Mothors of
large families who must economize,
will find this milk a great food for
the children. A pitcher of skim milk
on tho table, If cold, Is very refresh
lug, nnd most certainly wholesome.
Ah n food It Is lacking of course In
fat, but used with other foods, bread
and butter, fnt of meat, cheeso nnd
such foods, tho lnck Is supplied.
Skimmed milk Is vnlunblo in cookory.
In the old days, cooks used skim milk
nnd preferred It for the Indian pud
dings. Tho suet supplied tho fnt. To
day there nro fow who can resist ono
of tho old-fashioned puddings. In tho
preparation of crcnm soups, skim milk
may be used with butter, which is al
wayB added to tho flour for binding
and supplies tho fat taken off In the
cream.
For mend making, skim milk may
be used Instcnd of whole milk nnd vn
ter, White sauces for csballoped
dishes, nlso rice and tapioca puddings.
Care of the 8lck.
Never leavo food, especially milk,
standing exposed in tho room.
Removo cut flowers from tho roqtu
during tho night.
Whispering should not ho allowed
in tho sick room.
Chango tho pictures occasionally
nnd havo them bright nnd cheerful
subjects.
O NOT hurry,
Uo not worry,
As this world you travel through,
No regretting.
