ace in honor of Miss Mary Kohl and
z. s. Pillsbury. The appointments
were BETTING the occasion and nota-
bility of the engagement so recently
announced. The Empire room was
used for the reception of guests and
its lovely appearance was but an in
troductory for the beauty of the Mar
BILE room, where dinner was served.
American Beauty roses and sweet peas
banked against a green background
was the scheme in the Empire room.
The decoration for the tables. of
which there were three large round
ones, consisted of a gradation of color
from palest pink TO the depths Of
crimson, the effect obtained by the
skillful arrangement of sweet peas,
carnations and roses. The scene was
vividly beautiful and one to leave a
lasting impression on the fortunate
observers. Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins en-
tel tained ifty-four guests.

An Old Cure for Ivy Poison.

This Is the season when the person who
takes woods rambles is very likely to suf-
FER for days thereafter with swollen wrists
and itching hands, sometimes suffering
real agony. from ivy poison Poison oak
and ivy are much like the copperhead
snakes in the hills in that both seem to
try hard TO torture human beings with
their poison. and will do so II they come
too close, especially in the spring. A ply
sician once told us that there was moth
Ing that would cure ivy poisoning quick
~. but that doctoring it and letting IL
alone took about equal time, so he ad-
Vlsed washing the parts affected quite
otten. and letting it take its course
NOW the cure consists in a very simple
adherence to two things; Preventing the
spreading OF the poison, and drying il up
quickly. Its spread can only be prevent
ed by washing frequently with hot water;
It's cure by amounting the affected parts
with tincture grindelia, procurable i'm any
drug- store as soon as the skin has been
dried. Every camp outfit should contain
four-ounce bottle Of grindelia. Its cure
Is very rapid, and 1t soon stops the al
most unbearable itching by which ivy
poison is first noticed. This remedy is
very old one, but it is not known as
well as 1t should be.-lField and Stream
