MARRIAGE ENGAGEMENTS.
Many Are Careful 10 Prevent Their
Publicity. d.

Publicity. {.
One of the social peculiarities OF New
York, says the Sun. is always 70 be OBJ
served when two young persons of we'll
known families become engaged to be
married That is the reluctance to let
the fact be known publicly long after il
has become a matter of knowledge to
the friends OF the young persons or of
their families. Scarcely an important en-
gagement is announced here without a
prompt denial from the parents OF the
young woman. This comes frequently af-
ter the news has been communicated TO
her friends and been discussed fully by
the persons directly interested in it.
But any attempt 10 secure formal an
nouncement always. or at least in the
great majority of cases, meets with de-
NAL The result is usually no end of ru-
mors denials and finally the announce
ment of the fact which has been mat
ter of common information 20 the friends
of the young persons for some time. This
peculiarly has been described by some
persons as q survival of the earliest days
of New York's social history and the final
suggestion of the time in which II shared
with rustic communities the embarraSs-
n,ent that an announcement of betrothal
was supposed to carry with ii. Abroad.
where engagements are announced
promptly without denials or delays, there
is less rumor and surmise as TO the uiti-
mate possibility of engagement between
persons who are conspicuous in the pub
lie eye. In the case of an engagement
there can never be any doubt in the
minds of the persons engaged as TO the
actually of the fact.
Either they are engaged or they are
not. When that fact is known 70 their
friends and acquaintance and any pub
lie announcement Of it is postponed by
positive denials. the charge of provincial
ism against New York society can easily
be upheld in that particular. One result
of more dignified action in such matters
would be an end to the surmise and spec
ulation on the subject. which in nine
cases out of ten prove to be correct

The Only Thing
Needed
To Remove Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Consumption
and Pneumonia
From the List Of Dangerous Dis
eases Is the Education Of
the People.

Ever since the discovery that catarrh,
bronchitis, pneumonia, land consumption
were purely local Diseases, caused by the
presence of bacilli innthe air passages,
the medical profession throughout tho
whole world have BERT all their energies
to finding some method Or remedy by
which these bacilli could be reached and
destroyed How they. have succeeded is
best told by a glance at the reports pub
lished by the different boards of health
in all the large cities. in this country,
which show not only a great increase in
the number of deaths yearly from these
diseases. but startling growth In the
number of persons afflicted. This failure
to find a cure for diseases of the respi-
ratory organs must not be construed to
mean lack of ability on the part of
the medical profession, for, they have dis
covered many remedies which would Kill
these germs. Yet, strange to say. not one
of them could be conveyed to the parts
affected by dry air. 1t can be readily
seen, then. that the discovery of "Hyo-
mel" a germicide of sufficient power to
kill at once the bacilli of these diseases,
and at the same time volatile enough to
impregnate every particle of air breathed
by the patient. yet leaving 1t free from
moisture was one of vital Importance to
the medical world. Doctors throughout
the whole country began TO test the en-
cacy of this new remedy and now. after
two years trial in hundreds of cases un-
der their own care. over 3,S00 physicians
claim that "Hyomei." the Australian Dry
Air Cure. is the only treatment by which
al! the diseased parts of the respiratory
organs can be reached and cured.
Furthermore. il is claimed that in fami-
lies who are predisposed to catarrh and
consumption If the fathers and mothers
will but instruct their children In the use
of "Hyomei." the rising generation VIII

would seem then. that nothing remains
