HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence Of material can make up
for carelessness Of application. any
more than care In applying 1t can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface TO be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the Job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead (trade marked with THE
Dutch Boy Painter') there is every
chance that the Job will be satisfac'
tory. White lead is capable Of alb
solute test for purity. National Lead
Company. Woodbridge Building. New
York. will send a testing outfit free TO
any one interested.

VIZ ASHINGT0N.-The aallengrosslng
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 Abruzzi,
who was the social lion for a few days
last spring when he came In CON-
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 a special act of the Italian
parliament, provided the king gives
his consent to the match.
II this marriage takes place II will
be by all odds the most brilliant In
ternational match yet made by a
Washington girl. The duke is the
most distinguished foreigner to come
to the United States a.wooing, and he
has won fame by being the explorer

John Redmond was educated by the

Only few years after leaving col
