Weddings.

Exceedingly attractive in its autumn
setting Of chrysanthemums and au-
tGmn foliage was the wedding at 430
o'clock yesterday afternoon of Miss
Pauline Stone, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Parker Stone, to DR..
Daniel Leroy Borden, U. S. r. Medi-
cal Corps. at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. stone, In Massachusetts avenue.
White chrysanthemums with smilax,
and palms furnished a medium for
the improvised altar before which the
wedding party stood while the Rev.
DR.. Charles Wool performed the cere-
mony.
The bride was escorted and given
away by her father, and wore a de-
cidedly characteristic gown of white
Drocade satin, the skirt fashioned
with court train and high draped
paniers. The bodice had long sleeves
Of chiffon edged with seed pearls and
the same establishment was used on
the soft drapery which formed a v
for the square neck OF the bodice. The
bridal veil of tulle was arranged in a
coronet edged with pearls and she
carried a shower bouquet of Brides
roses and lilies Of the valley. Dr..
Borden presented his bride with a
bar of platenum set with several dia-
monds and this formed part Of the
bridal costume
Mrs. Arthur Foraker, the brides 8
sister. was her only attendant, and
wore a modish gown of yellow faille
the skirt draped at the back in the
latest fashion. and veiled with brown
chiffon. The high crowned hat had a
quite wide brim and was made OF
brown tullc with a narrow band of
blue velvet encircling the crown, and
was finished with tiny cluster Of
many toned flowers. She carried a
bouquet of pink rosebuds.
DR.. Borden had his brother, Capt.
William Ayres, Borden, u. s. A.,
whose marriage to Miss Effinger took
place recently. as best man.
The decorations In the ball rooms
at Rauscher's where the reception
took place at o'clock, were the same
as those in the home, being huge
clusters Of white and yellow chrysan-
themums with back ground of
autumn leaves, palms and smilax.
Mrs. Stone received with the bridal
party and a charming gown Of beige
chiffon and brocaded velvet trimmed
with bands of brown fur. Her hat
OF black velvet was faced with pink,
and her corsage bouquet Of violets
mingled with pink roses. An orches-

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspic-
Gus thing about us and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, we will
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all the
natural beauty of the hair, that dis
solves and entirely removes all
dandruff, excess oil and dirt, can
easily be used at trifling expense by
simply dissolving a teaspoonful of
canthrox (Which you can get at any
druggist'D In a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid. enough so it is easy to ap-
ply 1t to all the hair instead Of just
the top of the head. This chemi-
cally dissolves all impurities and
creates soothing. cooling lather.
Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly
clean, soft and plant, while the hair
takes on. the glossy richness of nat
ural color. also fluffiness which

An instantaneous
Wrinkle Remover

The average woman is always sur
prised TO learn, after experimenting
with all sorts of patent so-called
wrinkle removers," that the most
effective remedy in the world is a
simple face wash which she can make
herself at home in a jiffy.
Sne has only to get an ounce Of
pure powdered saxolite from her
nearest druggist and dissolve It in
half a pint of witch hazel. Apply this
refreshing solution to the face every
day for a while. The result is charm
1ng-marvelous. Even after the very
first treatment the wrinkles show less
plainly and the face has a nice firm,
comfortable feeling that is thorough
ly delightful and lends self-confidence
IN ones appearance. This, harmless
nome remedy Is used by thousands of
women to obliterate the unwelcome
traces Of time.-Adv.

1t is disappointing to society folk
that neither Miss Heloise Meyer, or

until her marriage at Hamilton. Mass.

In Washington. Miss Meyer was ex-
pected TO return to the Capital to
renew her efforts for suffrage, and
really there was no inkling at the
time of mis- marriage, that Chevalier
Giuseppe Brambilla her new nephew,
would be sent back to Italy as soon
as he took unto himself a bride. But
these are days when but little is
known of the comings in and goings
out of diplomats. In view of the mail
bag incident between our country and
Sweden. it Is interesting to know that
Baron E. AKerhielm. counselor OF the
Swedish legation and Baroness Aker-
helm, his charming wife. are on leave
from the legation and have gone to
their home in Sweden for long stay.
Madame Ekengren, the American wife
of the Swedish Minister, has never
lived in that country and her most
thrilling experience there was in being
presented at court.
1t is interesting to know that the
women of society in other cities are
making the same sacrifices for their
war work as are the women of the
CAPITAL. and. in fact, through the ma
tion-wide movement. the women of all
cities seem allied in one another g
