PRETTY SHOULDERS. FASHION'S LATEST EDICTS ARE REVOLUTIONARY. Dresses Are to Be Much Lower and Beautiful Shoulders a Necessity -—How They May Be Ac quired. Fashion's latest edict 19 most revo lutionary. "The day of the low neck I* returning and by winter the shoul ders will be exposed fully to the. gaze i of the world.” This statement by a i great modiste applies not only to the evening dress, but to the day waist. The day shirt-waist Is being made lower and lower in the neck and short- | er and morter in the sleeve—while the evening waists are fully two grades lower than they were last sea son. This means that the arms and neck must be beautiful and there Is much work ahead for the society woman The Plump, Youthful Shoulder. who wants to have her bodice sur mounted bv a handsome pair of shoul ders and a lovely neck. Just one woman in 20 has a pair of shoulders the right shape. Many have round shoulders. Others have hoop shoulders. One out of three will have shoulders that extend too far forward. Fifty per cent, have shoulders of un equal height. Twenty-five per cent, have shoulders that would be right if they were carried right. Walk behind a woman In the street and you will notice that one shoulder Is taller than the other. This is caused by her hands. One hand Is held at the belt line while the other is allowed to fall by her side. Per haps she lifts her skirt with one hand while with the other she carries a parcel. This will make the shoulders uneven. And In time they grow un even. Hound shoulders are caused by the habit of letting the body sink forward. Women with lung trouble have round shoulders, while dyspeptics almost in variably have shoulders that hoop for ward. making the figure a poor shape. To straighten a pair of round shoul der Is difficult. A brace can be worn ! and this serves as a reminder and the woman straightens up. The wom an whose shoulders are round cannot wear n low neck. There Is nothing quite as disfiguring as n pair of shoul ders that bend too far forward. The whole shape Is destroyed. Fat shoulders arc apt to he pretty. Dut the trouble Is that It is difficult to put just the right amount of fi<>sh upon the shoulders. Either they are too thin or they become too stout. And the pudgy shoulder, full of great soft creases, is impossible from beau- I ty’s standpoint. The cereals will plump out the neck, but one must not take too much cream with them. Vegetables also plump the neck, but one must be care ful to take them fresh and without too much butter. There arc fats which seem to Fettle In the abdomen and other fats which go toward the shoul ders and hands. It Is curious to the student of beauty to observe the dif ferent direction which the flesh will take. Potatoes will make the abdo men full. Another kind of food will make the shoulders stout, while a third kind will cause the cheeks to grow fat. It is a knowledge of those ‘ various kinds of food which makes a aoman pretty or otherwise. Shu real ly can govern her fat to suit herself if she knows what to cat. If the shoulders aio of the sloping, or old-fashioned type, they should he ' dressed plainly. A Quaker hnndker- j chief folded around the shoulders in such a manner as to make them still i lower and still more sloping is the ! prettiest thing in the world. Next comes the Priscilla scarf, which is a sort of plain muslin fichu; and third there is the plain, round, low neck with Its neat finish and its delicate ! edge. All of these serve to bring out the old-fashioned lowness of the old fashioned low, sloping shoulder. Suggestions For the Hostess Some Pretty and Novel Ways to En tertain Guests. Hallowe’en Party.

Mrs. Remethe Myers, of ISO South Ten** St., I ronton. O., says: “I have worfceu naru in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no , wonder niv kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was fading away and finally go weak that for six months I could not get oun of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and soro in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur be fore me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clotliiug. and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I g«*t help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and by the time 1 had taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been in good health ever since.” Sold by all dealers. 60 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches A'l Over the Body—Skin Cracked and Bleeding—Cured by Cuticura. “I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was in patched all over my body. I used three cnkea of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Olnt merit and two bottles of R.-solvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance In re I spot3, generally forming a circle, leaving in the ceuter a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected cirele would form a heavy dry scalo of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again In twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in 5; ois all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let th" scales remain too long without remov ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I Buffered in tense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M.

Mr. Rhodes once told a circle of friends after dinner the story of hit first meeting with Beit. “I called at Forges’ late one evening." he said. 1 ‘‘and there was Beit working away as usual. ‘Do you never take a rest?’ I asked. ’Not ofteu.' he replied. ‘Well, what's your game?' said I. I am go ing to control the whole diamond out put before 1 aru much older,’ he an- I swered. as he got off his stool. ’That's j funny,’ I said. ’I have made up my i mind to do the same; we had better join hands.’ ” Join hands they did. I’nlike Alfred Belt, t'ecll Rhodes had small patience with arithmetical de tails. Once this characteristic in- j volved him in a difficulty. Pitching a balance sheet into the pile of papers before Beit, he exclaimed despotatelv. Here, you understand things; for I heaven's sake tell me how I stand." Habits of Wild Bees. There are about five thousand spe cies of the wild bees, all with Interest ing ways of their own.

There ar.e the “eukoo" bees, who deposit their eggs in the nests of others, the progeny of both living peaceably to gether until maturity, when they sep arate. Then there is the tailoring hce, which cuts leaves with her scissors like Jaws, and fits a snug lining of the j leaf material into her cave-shaped nest. Sublime Faith. Nothing short of true faith will sep arate a bald headed man from the hard earned price of a bottle of hair restorer. A Positive CURE Ely's Cream Balm I* quickly cbsorbe.l. Gi*e* Relief at Once.
