OPTIMISM A NATURAL TRAIT
Prospector Can Not Help but See
Millions in Lode Which Necessity
. Makes Him Sell.
Mi.rk Twain once defined a mine as
"a lole In the ground owned by a
liar." The general humorist was for
once guilty of a harsh Judgment. The
owoir of a promising prospect, who is
willing to sell It only because he lacks
the capital requisite for its develop
ment, is not necessarily a liar.- He Is
only an optimist. He does not mean
to deceive anybody. He believes in
the value of his property and de
scribes it as he sees it. "Is that cop
per lode permanent?" said the repre
sentative of nn eastern syndicate to
the grizzled prospector who was try
ing to sell his claim. "Permanent?"
was the reply; "well 1 should smile.
If you had Niagara for a water power,
and the state of Arizona for a dump

"ECZEMA ITCHED SO BADLY
I COULDN'T STAND IT."
"I suffered with eczema on my neck
for about six months, beginning by lit
tle pimples breaking out. I kept
scratching till the blood came. It kept
getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights
any more. It kept Itching for about a
month, then I went to a doctor and
got some liquid to take. It seemed
as if I was going to get better. The
itching stopped for about three days,
but when it, started again, was even
worse than before. The eczema itched
eo badly I couldn't stand it any more.
"I went to a doctor and he gave me
some medicine, but didn't do any good.
We have been having Cuticura Rem
edies in the house, so I decided to try
them. I had been using Cuticura
Soap, so I got me a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and washed off the affected
part with Cuticura Soap three times a
Jay, and then put the Cuticura Oint
ment on. The first day I put it on, it
relieved me of itching so I could sleep
all that night. It took about a week,
then I could see the scab come off, I
kept the treatment up for three weeks,
tnd .my eczema was cured.
"My brother got his face burned
with gun-powder, and he used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. The people all
thought he would have scars, but you
can't see that he ever had his face
burned. It was simply awful to look
at before the Cuticura Remedies
(Soap and Ointment) cured, it."
(Signed) Miss Elizabeth Gehrki, For
rest City, Ark., Oct. 16, 1910. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold

Hints and Advice
on Social Forms
By MME. MERR2
'Advice to an Orphan Girl.
- I am a young girl , of fifteen, al
though I look much older. I am an
orphan and live with my aunt. 1 am
said to be very charming and pretty,
and the hoys all seem very fond of
me. I would like to ask you If It Is
wrong to let the boys kiss and caress
me when they are taking me home
from parties and such places. - Also
Is It wrong ko go to lunch rooms with
boys of seventeen and eighteen after
dances or plays?' The boys I am
friends with all attend the same high
Bchool as I do and are approved of
by my aunt. Please answer in your
column a3 soon as possible and let
me know how I should act, as I have
no mother of whom I could ask ad
vice. "LAUGHING EYES."
I am very glad you wrote to me on
the subject and I do hope you will not
think I am very old-fashioned and
strict when I tell you not to let the
boys kiss you or take any liberties
with you "whatever. It is just what
your own mother would have told you
Be good friends and comrades and
have all the good times possible, only
keep the love-making out of it.
Then I would not go to public
places for refreshment after theaters
or after dances unless chaperoned or
with a crowd of at least six or eight,
and some of them should be oide!
than you. It does not look right and
you cannot be too careful. The boys
will have far more respect for you
and you will never be sorry if you
maintain your dignity. No matter
how hard it is, do it and you will not
have any heartaches, and they are
bound to come if you permit things
you should not.
Suggestions for, a China Shower.
When giving a china shower what
should be served? Would also appre
ciate a few suggestions as to the dec
orations and how to entertain.
ANXIOUS READER. .
There is no special decoration for a
china shower besides flowers, and no
entertainment Is necessary ' besides
opening the parcels and enjoying he
bride-elect's pleasure with her pretty
things. Cards are always permissible,
providing the guests' like to play
Serve a salad, sandwiches, olives,
salted nuts and coffee.
Questions From "Faithful Readers."
We are two young, girls, our age fif
teen. Is It proper for girls of our age
to have boys escort them home from
a picture show? Is it proper for girls
to be taken, by boy friends, to .picture
shows? FAITHFUL READERS.
I am always glad to answer ques
tions from my girls, and I hope they
will be . able to get my ideas. It, all
depends upon the picture show; some
are good and some should never see
the light at all. So much depends upon

the boys and more depends upon.thc,
girls. If father and mother do not ob-,
ject to either the shows or the boys 1,
do not, but do not go too often and
try to go in the daytime and not at
night unless an older person goes as
chaperon.
Reply to "Miss Mary.
Your letter is too long to print In
detail, but I must say it is almost
impossible for me to believe that,
young people can be so rude as to
talk about you and make you uncom
fortable, even when in Sunday school.
Don't you suppose that you imagine a
good deal and if you are not well every
thing seems so much worse. The only
remedy I know is to try to forget
yourself ' and think what you can do
for others. There :is room for every
one in this world and something for
each one of us to do. Brooding over
our own Ills is just the worst thing
possible, for nothing is ever bo bad
but it might be worse.
Marking the Bridal Linen.
In marking a bride's linen, is it
proper to use the initial of her last
name, or her future husband's? It
has caused quite a discussion here,
the majority thinking it should be the
husband's since none would be usee"
until after the marriage.
SHELLY.
All bridal linen, both personal ana
for the new homef is marked with the
bride's initials and not those of her
future husband, as it is always pre
pared before the wedding, and you
know "There's many a slip 'twlxt the
cup and the lip."
Reply to "Chums."
As you say "mother does not ob
ject" to the young boys calling upon
you, I certainly do Dot, but, be sure
that "mother" knows all about them,
and I do not believe I would accept
invitations from boys whom you have
met "only twice." If you are allowed
to go to "theaters and parties" and
both, only wearing hair ribbons, tb
boys must certainly see you home, fcr
you two girls should not be on the
Btreets alone. I think there is no
prettier way to wear the hair than
looped up with ribbons or coiled
around the head in braids with a rib
bon bow on the side. .
Invitation Etiquette.
In receiving an invitation to a card
party Is it proper to send acceptance,
as well as regrets? What do the capi.
tal letters R, S. V. P. signify?
NJ L. T.
An invitation to a card party should
be accepted or regretted as soon as
possible. The letters "R. S. V. P."
stand for the French "Repondez s'll
vous plait," and mean, in plain Eng
lish, "Respond, if you please."
Reply to "Brown Eyes."
You did perfectly right to mail
three card3 to reach the hostess on
the day of the -"tea," or before the
date, as long as you live out of town.
I am very glad you find the depart
ment helpful and it Is kind to have
you say so.

"The man said to her one evening,
