Germany was the first TO respond
with prompt acceptance of the invi-
tation and the promise that she imme.
diately would address the two combat
ants.
Great Britain was heard from next
expressing adherence to the principle
laid down in the note, but Withholding
formal acceptance pending an answer
to an inquiry whether the admins
trative entity" of China involved Man
churia. Japan was heard from quickly,
with the answer that she would act
readily on the suggestion of the Unit
ed States if a similar promise could be
obtained from Russia.
Italy, Austria Hungary and the Meth.
erlands expressed sympathy with the
idea and promised an answer after con-
sultation with other powers. There is
reason to believe that Spain and Bel
gium also will accept the invitation.
Russia thus far has been silent, and
the attitude of France is one of indeci-
sion.
This is the situation. Meantime it is
learned that Germany is addressing
the combatants with a note in sub
stance the same as that of Secretary
Hay.

So much is there to be seen at the
worlds fair that one might start at
the beginning, eat and sleep on the
way and still not see everything We're
a months time consumed in the tour
of exposition streets and aisles.
Frail humanity would not be, equal
to such a task, but there has, been
way provided by which the visitor
may see the exposition in it's fullness
and to the best advantage with as lit
tie loss Of time and energy as possible.
The Inside Inn is situated on the
exposition grounds, where the, Vlsltor
who wishes to spend his time pront-
ably may secure accommodations that
will enable him to arise with the
awakening Of the exposition, just out
side his windows, and begin tour or
inspection that can continue until long
after the mantle Of night spreads over
the spectacle. Then a refuge will be
afforded him right at hand.
No struggling with the crowds, wait
ing for street cars or pushing way
to the ticket booths for guests OF the
Inside Inn. All of these discomforts
have been saved him by an arrange
ment with the exposition by which he
may stay inside the grounds as long
as he is a guest of the hotel. He will
have not only the comforts of the spa
cious hotel on one of the coolest ana
most beautiful spots of the exposition
but the privileges Of the parlors, re-
ception rooms, offices and verandas'
where he may rest at intervals during
the day and mingle with agreeaple
company.
The Inside Inn is on the lntra-

part Of the grounds, and it is near the

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW
An Attractive Hand.-My hands have been
neglected until am ashamed Of them.
Can you tell me how to improve their
appearance? -Heen.

= =
There are no short cuts to having at
tractive hands. Exquisite care must be
bestowed upon them and especially upon
the nails If their. beauty is to be main
tanned. While there are nails good, bad
and Indifferent, none are quite hopeless If
taken vigorously in hand and given proper
care. II the hands have been badly neg
lected a half dozen treatments by a skilled
manicurist will show wonderful improve
ment and you Will pick up some points
which you can utilize at home. A few
good, tools are essential: pair of sharp
curved scissors,aa fine nail file, an orange
stick, channels covered buffer and nail
powder; lemon juice and vaseline. Always
soak the finger tips in tepid soapys water
slightly perfumed, before beginning treat
ment. This softens the cuticle and pre-
vents the nails breaking under the file or
scissors. Trim the nails in a pretty oval,
smoothing down the edges with the file.
If discolored under the nail do not scrape,
but use the edge Of the fiat file and also
brush with lemon juice. Press back the
scarf skin at the base of the nail, avoid
ing rough pressure which will cause hang
nails. IT, from neglect, there be quite an
accumulation Of scarf skin it may be re-
moved by repeatedly soaking the finger
