?SKIN MUST BE PROTECTED 1 First Thing to Be Looked To by the Woman Afflicted With Red Hands. Medically, "red hands" are a form ?ttl erythema, or local inflammation of (the 8km. Now there are a great n??r. ^kinds of erythema, dee to a large ^number of ca? . from Borne infec tious disease like scarlet fever to mere prolonged exposure to cold or (beat The question arises, What can be I done to prevent ?he first stage of ery tthema, namely, the increased blood j supply to a part-or hyperaemia-and J-what to prevent the first stage from i developing into subsequent ones? This question is more easily asked [than answered, but still lt ls not un answerable. la the first place, those who have a j sensitive skin must protect it as much kS? Iles In their power. They must keep from lt every irritation-say washing with either hot or cold wa ter; the water should always be tep id; particular attention must be paid j to the soap used, that with an es teem of alkali being particularly In j Jurions. As to additional treatment, when textce the bands have begun to show j [signs of more or less permanent red- j fness they should be rubbed dry in | Min upward direction, and afterward (smeared with some animal fat, like . 'codllver oil or lanolin, several times a j day. They should frequently be held | high and J&ned above the head so as Ho facilitate the escape of blood. At ?the same time lt le advisable to go jin for suitable exercises, walking, j gymnastics, cycling, golfing, etc-, j which can only help to improve the ?general circulation. DAY OF FUR COLLAR GONE ?Embroidered Linen or Net Hag Taken , Its Place as the Sun's Rays Are i Becoming Warmer. One of the positive signs of warmer i weather is the replacing of the fur ? collar on the coat with one of em ibroidered linen or net. This season ?shows a marked preference for the ?latter and many handsome designs yare displayed at the needlework i shops. The clever woman can dupll <cate these at home with little trou ble or expense. Purchase a quantity of plain white tnet of a proper weight; not too coarse ?nor too fine. . The beBt result is obtained when ^embroidering net, by stamping the j design on lawn and carefully basting jthe net over it. The pattern will ?show plainly through both thicknesses jof fabric, and when you have com pleted the entire design, cut away jthe lawn. This leaves the design j?rmly worked on the net alone. To the scalloped edge whipstitch an Jedging of IriBh crochet, cluny or val ?eadeun es lace. i Two finely plaited, graduated frills are made of the net and edged with lace. These are joined to the front ?of the collar for the purpose of cover ing the revers of the coat. . This is an effective garniture for fthe sober-hued worsted coat, and ??very woman should Bupply her ward be, with a collar of embroidered neL ?rot CHIC STREET DRESS Street dress of red wool voile and Jereme satin with collar of Bulgarian (embroidery. New Skirts. I The dress of the near future need loot necessarily be too tight, judging (by Paris fashions of the moment. The ! newest skirts, though not full, are j certainly not tight, although in the ?evening the pannier form is still I worn, and, as the modern woman is .'too vain to have anything bunchy at j her hips, the pannier is simply made .fby tightening the skirt around the ipti ritt A GOOD LETTER The following letter from HOD. Fitz Hugh McMaster, Insurance Commissioner, is greatly apprecia I ted by the officers, stockholders and policy holders of the first legal re ?rve Life Insurance Company ever v-rganized in South Carolina. Columbia S. C., May 14, 1913. Mr. T. O. Lawton, Manager, Southeastern Life Insurance Co., Greenville, S. C. Dea: Sir: I had occasion recently to review in part the progress of insurance since I nave been Insurance Com missioner. I was struck with the fact that, when I became Insurance Commis sioner, the Southeastern Life had total assets of about $34,000. It has now assets of abot t $380,000, practically increasing 200 per cent. in four years. When I realize that all ol these assets are invested in South Caro lina securities and that every dollar i yon 6pend for officers' salaries and expenses is spent in South Carolina, I can but real.ze the excellent work you are doing in South Carolina in keeping this money in the State which woaJd otherwise go beyond its borders, part of it never to re turn. The people of South Caro lina should appreciate this fact. Very truly, (Signed ) P. H. McMaster, Insurance Commissioner. (Note: Since the statement to] Insurance department the assets j have increased to $430,000.00.) C. M. Mellichamp, Local Agent.

It was no evidence of any special shrewdness on my part that I knew -what Wilson was watching the train for. The papers were tull of the details of Judson's last exploit The trick he had turned on this particular occasion was the lifting of a tray of diamonds from the importing Arm of Couvier Freres. The police had followed Judson pretty sharply and I knew that Wil son must have got some tip to the effect that Judson was going to take a train for a cooler habitat-most probably the 9:40 for the west Now, Wilson and I knew each other by sight We had had a professional rub or two on former occasions, and 1 knew with what I had to -deal. It just happened that I saw him get a telegram at the station office and that gave me two ideas which I pro ceeded to put into effect. One was to Intercept the messenger boy attached to the office, and for a quid pro quo induce him to hand to Wilson this mes sage, scribbled on a telegraph blank: "Mr. Wilson: I forgot in my hurry to copy the message just delivered to yon. Kindly return it to me fer a moment and I will hand it to you at any time.-Mary Emerson, Operator." i Five minutes later the boy handed me the message Wilson had received. It read: "Anderson says Judson will take the 9:40 train for Chicago. Will wear a long white beard.-Foley." Foley was the chief. His dispatch threw new light on the Judson tip. So Anderson had turned against Judpon. It happened that I was going to take the 9:40 train myself, and I determin ed to keep a sharp outlook for any body with ? long white beard. I was smooth shaven myself, j Bat the second idea. It was ridicu lously easy to write a message my self, and my convenient messenger friend for another quid pro quo handed it to Wilson. My message ran like this: "Made a mistake. Judson will leave on the 9:15 for Montreal.-Foley." It was already 9:05 and Wilson had barely time to catch the 9:15 train, for he swallowed the spoon, hook and bait. With Wilson safely side-tracked, I boarded my train. "Message for Henry Wilson. Is Mr. Wilson in this car?" "Ah, yes, I guess that's for me," I remarked, casually, reaching out my hand for it as the conductor stopped at my berth. Of course it was from Foley. It read: "Anderson . makes complete conSe? sion. Says story of Jddson being di? guised was a blind, He will, so far as Anderson knows, be smooth shaven, as be does not suspect he will be fol lowed, but thinks he has sidetracked ns. Williame is at Buffalo, and will meet the train at Lee's Landing. Foley." i The plot was thickening. "How far are we from Lee's Land ing, porter?" I inquired. "Next stop, sir." I started on another exhaustive In spection of the car, but there was no body there whom I thought Williame, would be likely to spot as Judson. I But there was a gentleman with a long brown beard, sitting all alone in one end of the car. A white beard might be dyed overnight. "Would you mind stepping into my drawing room compartment, sir?" 1 said in a weak voice as 1 bent over the brown-whi?kered gentlement. "Certainly, sir," he replied, rising and accompanying me to my drawing room. Once the door was locked and there was something doing in two min ates. "That's a very fine bunch of whisk ers you have there, my friend," I said fiercely, "and ] shall have to trouble I you for them! Don't make any fuss now and you won't get hurt!" The sheer absurdity of my words made him blink bewilderedly and be fore he got through blinking I had him tied hand and foot and two minutes i later I had neatly snipped off hie beautiful brown beard. I had become suddenly alive to the fact that a pair of whiskers wae something that I needed in my busi ness. 1 usually went provided with spirit gum and other toilet accessories, but I had neglected to grow a bunch of side whiskers or provided myself with a Bet of false ones. "Lee's Landing!" shouted the brake man, as I stepped out of the drawing room to run plump into Williams, whom I spotted instantly. "He's in the drawing room there!" I whispered hurriedly in Williams' ear. "Yes. This ls Wilson! I am detail ed on another lay; that's why you were wired to meet me. Grew these over night Good lack." Then half holding my whiskers with my hand to keep them from falling off, I pulled my hat down over my eyeB and made my getaway. It waBn't a very close shave for the parson, but it was for me, all on ac count of that traitor Anderson. I Just escaped by a hair-that is, by a con veniently large number of hairs, judi ciously used. Oh, ye* I was Judson. You have guessed that. (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub.
