New York December 12.-William Astor Chambers marriage to Miss Minnie Ash- ley, the pretty actress, is by far the most Interesting social event of the season. Fair maids have had their energies direct ed by proud mothers toward this young millionaire. His position and his for tune, his family connections and his so- cial possibilities made him a desirable person for the matrimonial partnership. And now there is growing. Chanler has turned the cold shoulder to the proud maid and married the fair young favorite of the stage. In the words of Dowie: 'Peace be to them"
 MT. and Mrs. Almeric Hugh Paget, nee Whitney, will not come. over this season as anticipated. They pass their time at their country place in Suffolk. MT. Pagets sister-in-law Mrs. Arthur Paget, is ex- pected to arrive here within fortnight to remain for the season.
 The first of the dinner dances of Mrs. Frederick J. de Peyster and Montgomery Strong for this season, will be given on Thursday night at Delmonico's. Those of last winter proved very enjoyable af- fairs, and the cards for the coming fes- tiyity are in demand. At these each of the fifty patronesses entertains her own eight guests at her table at the dinner which precedes the dance. Miss Drexel, Dr. Emmett's fiancee, and Miss Louise McAllister are the only maiden bachelors on the list. Montgomery Strong will lead one of the two cotillons, probably the second.
 Mrs Robert Goelet is giving some pleas ant little dinners. She is to go abroad very shortly and the Nahma is in readi- ness at Cannes for the annual cruise. MT. and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney's house boat is nearly finished and they will be in Florida in January. The Fred Wander bilts are to be among the pioneers at Palm Beach, and the FlagJers are arrang- ing for some gorgeous entertainments down there. There is some probability of Madame de Castellane and the Manches- ters coming over for the Florida season. There are at present a great number of English people of fashion cruising in the West Indies, and many of the famous yachts which belong to ducal and other houses are in the tropics. All these peo- pie will take in Palm beach for a while, so that the season down there promises to be most brilliant There has been little effort to make Havana a winter city and if a good troupe and carnival can

be arranged there it will rival the Ser mudas and New Orleans and Florida as a place of winter sojourn. Several parties ara to go to Mexico in the early winter The City ot Mexico is always gay in Jan uary.
 Last week the Baltimore bachelor cotil- Ion took a number of the New York men over to the Monumental City. It is the great event there of the year. There were many debutantes last Monday, and some of them very pretty girls The Philadei- phia Assembly will be the next great out of-town event. New York has prided IT. self on being no longer provincial and put ting aside an assembly, but it is a severe loss this winter, as it brought the debu- tantes together and it's started new ideas of entertaining. Now every one is wait ing for every one else to take the in- itative.
 New Haven's millionaire minister and Secretary of the Yale Corporation, the Rev Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., will not wed Miss Carol Mitchell until the 9Oth. The engagement was announced late in De- tober at the end of a house party on Up- per St. Regis Lake, where the young peo- pie were guests of William K. Townsend. Though the bride-elect halls from Wash ington, the wedding will be celebrated in the little Protestant Episcopal church at Bernardsville, N. J., where Miss Mitchel's brother Clarence Blair Mitchell, lawyer, has a cottage. Mir. Stokes is assistant rec tor of St Paul's P. B. Church, New Haven. Members of the Stokes family have long been famous for their clever ness. Little is known here of the Washing ton Mitchels, who have never identified themselves with the local smart set. The aspect of young man worth millions la boring day after day in the interest of the church and it's auxiliaries portrays a Christian spirit and devotion almost too great for the age in which we are living.
 Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Drexel have also taken a villa at Cannes for the winter. Mrs. Drexels health is much better, but she cannot stand the English or the Am erican climate. There will be quite a few Americans on the Nile this winter, and the season is beginning early at Cairo. MT. and Mrs George Vanderbilt are already there. and they are going up the Nile very shortly and will take a large party with them. The Fred Wander bilt yacht Is nearing completion and when intend to take a long European cruise such as was their wont some years ago when the old Conqueror was in it's prime.

Of course the confederates had no representation there and no sort of attention was given to them, for they had no claims In 1895, or over eight years ago. the grounds were transferred to the national government, and the policy which governed the planning of the field before that time seems yet to govern Perhaps the rancor of war spirit, the habits of years. the idea that the field belonged to the north created an att mosphere too strong to be resisted. even though history, moving with leaden feet had elsewhere found that the noblest and best results Is Truth.

There is danger, too, of these places becoming caneerous if rot treated promptly and in the right way. Washes, salves and ointments are good for external use, but they can't stop the discharge or change the condition of the blood, and for this reason the sore never heals per manently.
 Not until the blood is purged of impurities and the system cleansed of all harmful substances should the ulcer heal, or the effect upon the sys- tenn night prove disastrous. s. s. s. goes into the circulation and searches out and removes the cause of the old sore and invigorates and builds up the polluted, sluggish blood again, and as the poisonous matter is driven from the system the sore begins to heal, new flesh forms and the place is. soon covered over with fresh skin and the sore is gone f. debilitated from the effects of chrc

FROM CALF OF THE LEG TO ANKLE
 A SOLID SORE.
New Castle, Pa., July 2e, 1903

New Castle, Pa., July 2e, 1908.
 Three years ago a common boil ep. peared on the calf of my limb. Not yield. ing to simple home remedies, consulted 8 physician, who prescribed poultice, flax seed, supposedly. By some fearful mistake was given corrosive subli- mate, and after having it on for few minutes I could endure the pain no longer, so took of the application and found that my limb from the calfto the ankle was in an awful condition. im- mediately sent for another physician, who told me I had been poisoned. My limb from the calf to the ankle was one solid unframed sore. was advised to begin s. s. s., and improved rapidly under it's use, but about this time had an attack oftyphoid foyer, and this set- tied in the original sore. This, of course, caused back set, but having confidence in the ability of 8. 8. S., began it again as soon as was over the fever, and to make long story short, was completely and permanently cured. Two years have elapsed, and have never had return or the trouble. MRS. K. A. DUFFY,
