HE Well-Mean- MEANT GOWNS EVENING t Compliment to American Woman Somewhat Marred by BONStX c MABBIX ?a HE was very pretty there I was no doubt whatever I about that; and Harold at pretty things of all kinds, especially women, lingered in the shadow of the hallway and Maud watched pretty Elhlyn as she sst at the fireplace, one dainty foot resting on tlfe brass andiron, and her d head bent low as with a tiny gold pencil she wrote something on a sheet of note paper which reposed, woman fabhlon. in her lap. Presently the writing ceased, and the fair writer, thinking herself alone, proceeded, In a way she had, to talk to her own charming self; and Harold, the man who listened, excused himself on the plea that what she was saying could be no secret, or she would not utter it aloud, even though supposing herself to be alone. And this is what he beard: "Yes, Cupid, I have written a valentine to the one who Is destined by you to be my fate; for, according to maidens' belief, only he, my own true lover, can find It and answer it; hence, should an answer come, it will be absolute proof to me that the writer of it Is my future lord and master." And she made a little curtsey before the long pier glass; and, snatching a soft wool shawl from the sofa, she wound It about her head and shoulders and, the valentine in her band, went out on to the porch and ran down the garden path, Harold from the hall window discreetly watch-lu- g her as she went lightly down past the old moss-growwell to the somewhat bleak and deserted summer curl-crowne- Unfortunate Error.

Rralten, for his valentine, adding, in parenthesis, that he did it only for complacency. And Sir W. liratten In like manner took Mrs. Pepys for bis valentine, "and so we were very merry." February 13 Pepys squandered 40 shillings on Lady liratten upon a payre of embroidered and six payre of plain white gloves." February 21 Sir W.

She really did hope that it was not the young clergyman ; fur she was not at all up In theology and was quit too undignified for a clergyman's wife. "And the young doctor would not do, nice aa he is," she said, emphatically, "for I never could be sweet and amiable enough to share him with all the other women in the town." She paused a moment and then continued: "Ralph Is a bright young lawyer, but so metaphysical; and, while I can occasionally assume an Interest in metaphysics, that mental diet daily would be very wearing. But don't you think. Miss Maud," she continued gayly to herself, "that you are presuming a great deal in taking it for granted that any one of these gentlemen wishes to be your valentine? Oh, no! I do not flatter myself. But the eligible young men in town are so few that I must mention them all to find somebody, so I might as well refer to the others.

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 wlfo 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 os no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in tho 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 Remedies a trial. After taking the Cutlcura Remedies fcr a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cutlcura Resolvent, in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, the trouble had entirely disappeared and my leg was as fine as the a lapse of day I was born. six months with no signs of a recurrence I feel perfectly safe in extend ing to you my heartfelt thsnks for the.! good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me.
