TODAYS AID TO BEAUTY

An especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that dissolves and en-
tirely removes all dandruff, excess oil
and dirt, can easily be made at trifling
expense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful of canthrox in a cup of hot
water. Pour slowly on scalp and mas
sage briskly. This creates a soothing,
cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the
scalp spotlessly clean, soft and plant,
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness of natural color, also flufri-
ness which makes il seem much

Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas W. Smith an
nounce the engagement Of their grand
daughter. Miss Frances Marion Shaw, to
Mr.. John P. Frazer, of Detroit. Miss
Shaw is a graduate OF this years class
at National Park Seminary. Her we'd
ding will be an event of July 8, at St.
Margaret's Church.
Mr.. Alfred B. Williams announces the
marriage Of his daughter, Mrs Margaret
cambridge williams Searson to Mai. Peter
G. Brown. Of Toronto, Canada surgeon
in the Canadian expeditionary forces.
The wedding took place very quietly In
The Washington herald., 1916-06-11

Her hance is the son OF the late
Col. lie Gage Pratt, of New York.
The wedding will be a quiet event
Of Thursday.
Miss Mary Wheeler Vests mar
rage to Lieut.. James Mason Young,
u. S. A., also will follow swiftly
upon the announcement Of the en-
gagement and will be quietly
solemnized on Wednesday with the
immediate family and few intimate
friends as the only guests. Miss
Vest is a Baltimore girl, but the
Capital claims her since she made
her debut here at the hospitable
home of her aunt. Mrs. William
Burr Harrison, and has spent sew
eral seasons here, taking a promi-
nent part in the activities of the
younger set. Lieut.. Young comes
from New Hampshire and is a
popular officer at the Washington
Barracks. The engagement of Miss
Beatrice Clover, daughter of Admiral
and Mrs. Richardson Clover, to Capt.
Thomas Holcombe, jr, U. S. NJ. c.,
was made known recently, and close
ly following it came the announce
ment that Miss Leita Montgomery,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Warwick
Emile Montgomery, will be married
to Ensign Terry Brewster Thomp-
son, U. S. N, in the early autumn.
Miss Montgomery is the niece OF
Chief Justice and Mrs. Edward
Douglass White and is named for
Mrs. White.
The surprise wedding Of the week
was that Of Miss Elise cambridge,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Fitzhugh cambridge, and Lieut.. Ed
ward J. Foy, U. S. n. The engage
ment OF the young people was an
rounced much earlier in the sea-
son, but no date had been set for
the wedding. Like Miss Vest, the
bride OF last week, was not native
Washingtonian, coming here from
the charming old town of Frankfort,
Ky, which holds such claim to ro-
nance with its fame of beautiful
women. Mrs. Foy has spent several
seasons at the Capital with her
mother, and is tremendously popu-
lar in social circles where she is
noted for her extreme beauty and
charm.
The first Of the official weddings
- in June was solemnized with great
brilliance; Miss Agnes Shsckleford,
daughter Of Representative and Mrs.
Shackleford, of Missouri, was mar
ried to Mr.. Robert Johnson, OF
Kansas City, at St Paurs Church
on Wednesday in the presence of a
distinguished gathering of official
folk. 1t was. one of the prettiest
weddings of the season, carried out
in pastel colors with the bridesmaids
gowns and the floral decorations all
blending the soft shades of blue,
orchid, pink, and corn-color. The
Congressional Club was a lovely
setting for the wedding reception,
and all officialdom was there with
good wishes for the young couple.

SCORES ON MAN HUNT
IN SOUTH MOUNTAIN
Charlie Mace of Burke County
Shoots Wife and Then Dis
appears.

Morganten, N. c., Feb. 23.-
Another horrible tragedy has
been added to the already large
list of the South Mountain sec
tion of this county, the wife of
Charlie Mace having been shot
to death by her husband, after
he had driven his terrified chill
dren from the home Monday
night. Scores of men are hunting
Mace for whom a reward is Of
fered.
AS usual, the news was slow
in coming in from this section.
The children, it lis said, spent the
night out of doors and neighbor
was told Tuesday morning by
Mace that his wife had killed
herself. Asked why he had not
notified anyone, he is reported
to have said that he didn't "want
anybody to know it,"
The neighbor, however, mott
fed others and the officers were
informed. Sheriff Berry, Depu.
ties Hallman and Pipkin went
to the scene. Mace, seeing them
approach, armed himself heavily
and left. A little later his doc
was placed on his scent and Dep
uty Pipkin caught sight of Mace
and fired on him once, but the
officers gun was of too light a
caliber to be effective at the
distance. Mace then disappeared
over a ridge and was gone.
The coroner's investigation
showed that the wound was
caused by a gunshot fired from a
greater distance than would have
been the case had there been a
suicide and that an attempt had
been made to fill the bullet hole
with flour. 1t was also in evidence
that Mace had threatened to
kill his wife, and the children
said that they had heard a scuf-
file and a shot, although they did
not know that their mother was
dead until the next morning.
Sheriff Berry sent an automo-
bile back to town for more Of
ficers, organized a small posse
and searched all of yesterday for
the fugitive. Last night lookouts
were posted on elevations where
knowledge might be gained if
Mace built fire. At midnight
Sheriff Berry returned to Nor
canton for more men and early
+his morning organized a rosSe
of about 80, according to phone
messages.
