a stone which needs to be shown we'll.
However, when the gold work is good
and sufficiently artistic, the effect is
beautiful in the extreme.
The engagement rumored for sew
eral days past of one of the most fas-
cinating debutantes and a talented
young chap who has earned quite a
name in society circles through his
vocal gifts seems not to be true after
all. or perhaps not true just yet. The
charming girl in question is out
here with relatives of the young man

to be again denied by the relatives of
the pretty debutante. No one is quite
convinced that the romantic rumor is
without foundation and the wiser and
older friends of the couple are shaking
their heads and saying in dubious

A recent affair that called out the

interested in musical things was the

amlss when many women are Wonder-
ing how the fortunate one woman IN
ten keeps her hat fastened discreetly
on her head despite the rude winds OF
spring. There are nearly dozen care
fully shaped bandeaux intended to help
the spring hat perch upon the feminine
head. These do not include the varied
shapes the adroit milliner invents on
the spur of the moment to prevent the
bucket shaped hat from settling down
over the entire face of the wearer. OF
course, we are told that the bandeaux
must be taken away and that the mats
must be pulled well down over the
head. 1t is true that they do bend
downward to partly obscure the eyes
and nose. but bandeau Is surrepi-
tiously admitted by the milliners, so
that even the peach basket Will stay
firmly on the couture.
Mrs. George C. Boardman and her at

They will pass some time in the east,

Red, as usual at this time of the
year. appears on many of the latest
creations, although 1t must depart as
the weather grows warmer. A hat
seen at the concours hippique was a
black mushroom faced, with red lib
erty satin and trimmed with small
band made of red feathers, and on the
left side huge OWLS head, also in red,
1t was very chic.
Another very small black hat, with
very high crown, was simply
trimmed with large head of white
hen, which proves that heads of birds
are becoming more fashionable every
day. Some of the newest shoes made
for the Partisan elegantes are. of the
variety which Americans call low
shoes" This is the first time that these
have appeared upon the feet of the real
Partisan, and they are quite an innova-
ton.
The stockings intended to be worn
with shoes of this character are woven
so as to form large squares, which are
very transparent. while the most novel
colors are brick, violet and almost
every shade of peacock blue Many
Partisan women are ordering linen
shoes to wear with their linen gowns
These, of course, will be the same color

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN.
Not Blood Disease-cured by Oil of
Wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be blood disease and was
enormously treated as such, but now
the best authorities agree that eczema
is only skin disease and must be
cured through the skin. The eminent
skin specialist, DIR. D. d. Dennis,
first discovered the eczema germ ana
his discovery was quickly taken up in
both Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at che
same time heal the skin, DR.. Da:'nis
compounded Oil of wintergreen, thy
mol, glycerine, etc. The remedy is a
liquid. not mere salve, hence it sinks
right into the pores of the skin.
Washing with this oil of wintergreen
compound seems to take the itch away
at once; soon the scales drop away
and the disease disappears. McGrath

Tasty Spaghetti Dishes

It's a mistaken idea to suppose
that only in Italy is Spaghetti really
at its best. You can prepare it your
self in as many ways as tha most ex-
pert Italian cook, aud with just as
good, if not better results, provided
you use Faust Brand Spaghetti, and
are aided by the book of over twenty
useful recipe which will be sent free
on request.
Faust Brand Spaghetti is a most
wonderful food. Nourishing a.. meat
no end to the ways of preparing it
and sold at an astonishingly low
price-a price not at all in keeping
with its great cooking usefulness and
food value.
Because of its delicious flavor Faust
Spaghetti is always welcome. Because
of it's wonderful adaptability it never
becomes monotonous. Because of its
economy it should always have a
prominent place on the grocer's order.
Prove it's goodness by getting five
or ten cent package today. Nearly all
grocers sell it. And don't forget to
write for the free recipe book.
