the first place keep the piano in a
room where it will not be exposed to
extreme heat or cold, and above all

strings to rust. Then you must con-

ventive is to take a flannel cloth,
thoroughly saturated with turpentine
and, after removing the panel, go over
the hammers, rubbing them carefully.
If this is applied every three months,
the moth will never come to stay.
To remove finger marks, wet small

VIyASHINGTON.-The all-engrossins
w topic of conversation in all sets
of Washington society is the rumored
engagement of Miss Katherine Elkins,
daughter of Senator and Mrs. Stephen
b. Elkins, to the royal duke of Abruzzl,
who was tie social lion for few days
last spring when he came in COM
mand of the Italian warships for the
opening of the jamestown exposition.
This engagement has been rumored
more or less for the last six months,
but has been strenuously denied by
all the members of Miss Elkins fam
lily. The duke is the first cousin of the
king of Italy, and should he marry
without the approval Of his royal rela-
tive, he would have to renounce his
title, one of the most honored in all
Italy, and all his rights as a member
of the royal family. His father, the
late duke of Aosta, was for some time
king of Spain. He can, however, re
tain his royal prestige, and even the
title by special act of the Italian
parliament, provided the king gives
his consent to the match.
