to indulge in the purchase of real gems
artificially produced.
These have nothing in common with
the familiar artificial diamonds. They are
produced by mechanical process which
reproduces as nearly as possible the con-

production Of the pure gem
The furnace heats the crucible above
1000 Fahrenheit, at which temperature
the iron melts like wax and saturates f.

The engagement Of Miss Dorothea
Mackenzie, second daughter of Sir
Kenneth Muir Mackenzie, of Rosshire
Scotland, to Mark Hamburg, the young
Russian pianist, is exciting great inter-
est in musical circles. as well as in the
fashionable world. The story of the
engagement is quite romance. Mark
Hamburg is an intimate friend of
Ysaye. the prince of living violinists.
and often visits him at his summer
residence at GOdinne, near Limoges. in
Belgium. During the summer Ysaye
generally instructs a few favored
pupils, and at the same time he enter
tains some Of his personal friends.

Hamburg 10 pay q l0ng-prOmiSed visit

for the first time. The acquaintance
made in that Belgian salon while they
studied their Beethoven and SChumann
together. soon Tipened into strong
friendship friendship that has drift
ed into love. and Miss Muir Mackenzie
and Mr.. Hamburg are now receiving
congratulations from all quarters.
Mark Hamburg is predicted to be the
