fer, formed a theater party at the Gennett Tuesday evening. jl j J One of the prettiest companies of the late spring was the party given Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. George Scott at her home on South Eighth street, complimentary to her sister, Mrs. F. M'. Conway. There were guests for five tables at euchre: J . . J . Mrs. Ida Parker, who resides north of the city, gave a dinner company recently in honor of Mrsi Spotts. At midday an elegant dinner was served to Mr. and Mrs. Charles and family, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Borkerf ield, Mr. and Mrs. Hawkett and family, Mr. and Mrs. Omar Estel and family, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Winkle. Mr. and Mrs. Will Yager and family, Mr. and Mrs. .Spotts and family, Mr. and Mrs. Amos Beach and family and Mr. Merl Spotts. The house was, beautifully decorated with spring blossoms and ferns.

' , - : ; js jt ,ji . 5 A pretty social event for Tuesday was, the surprise given Mr. and Mrs. Milo Ferrell by several of their friends. Cards' were the main feature of the evening! A luncheon was served which had been prepared by the guests. J Jt Mr. Warren Hill of Chicago, haB been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Bayer of South Eighth street for a few days. While an entire company of home talent is commendable and interesting in a way, there ia at the same, time something about the bringing here of several members of the cast for the opera "Priscilla" that commends itself to the public. Miss Marie Kaufman will undoubtedly make a most charming "Priscilla," both in the matter of her voice and dramatic action and dialogue. As "Resignation," the fussy old maid, Miss Juliet Swayne could not be excelled for her clever conceptioa and portrayal of this screamingly funny part. Miss Josephine Cates as "Faith," is most charming and her work in; connection, with that of Miss Bertha Garver as ''Barbara.0 and Miss Martha McClellan as "Prudence,'? will add materially to the " success of the opera. Mr.Ira:.LawK one. of. Indiana.' .promising young tenors, has already, been engaged by a New York manager for the

coming season and great promise is made for his operatic career. . ' In the part of "John Alden," Mr. Law has splendid opportunity, both as regards his singing, his acting and dialogue. For the last year Mr. Law has been a pupil of Mr. Taylor. His home is in Terre Haute. As the "doughty captain, Miles Standlsh," Mr. Allen Grimes is exceedingly clever and the demands upon his energy and bis voice make . the part difficult of portrayal, although Mr. ; Grimes Is an artist of such calibre as to make him a most interesting and successful "Miles Standish.'? . Mr. Grimes also is a pupil of Mr. Taylor and is making a name for himself in this line of work. Mr. Chas. Cox, " one of our local singers, does excellent work, as "Gov. Bradford." The other characters are equally well chosen and, taken as a whole, the opera promises to be. a most successful and ? enjoyable affair. The ladies of the Y. M. C. A. Auxiliary will doubtless realize a handsome sum from this production. The opera will be given at the Gennett theater on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, June first and second. Club Meetings for Today Miss Mildred Gaar is entertaining the members of a card club this afternoon at her home on North Thirteenth street.

Teresa Stone, age tix, was the star performer in an entertainment given by the Colony Club, In New York, the Other day by a score or more of children who have been discharged as cured by the Stony Wold Sanatorium for Consumptives. Teresa is one of the children whom the sanatorium has rescued, and her elder brother Frank was also among the performers at the entertainment. The auxiliaries of the sanatorium watch over the discharged patients, supplying them with milk and eggs and teaching their mothers how to care for them. In spite of this it is said they will get pale and lose flesh soon after their return from the country. The entertainment at the Colony Club was for the benefit of the sanatorium and given at the vitation of Mrs. Ogden Codman. Mrs. R. H. Tucker, of Spokane, Washington, is said to be the first woman wireless operator in the world. At present she is iu charge of the station on- the steamship Indianapolis, plying between Seattle and Tacoma. Speaking of wireless telegraph as a business for women, Mrs. Tucker said that the only reason she could think of why women do not go Into this service is that they are afraid of the Instruments. Mrs. Sallie J. McCall. of Cincinnati, left fifty shares of Cincinnati Street Railway stock to the National Woman Suffrage Association. Just what use will be made of the bequest has not been decided.

Health and Beauty Advice BY MRS. MAE MARTYN.

Nellie G.: For a soft, painful corn try binding it nightly in common baking soda, moistened with a little water. This will take out the soreness. Arthur W.: (1) Sometimes & drug gist endeavors to discourage the making of home remedies because be thinks it Interferes with his business. I never suggest the use of anything that is not sold In most first-class drug stores. (2) To mak e kardene blood tonic and liver remedy take 1 ounce of kardene. mix it with Vi cup of sugar and add ' pint of alcohol and 1 pints of hot water. Be sure to get the kardene In an original 1 -ounco package. This formula makes a full quart of tonic, of which you should take 1 tablespoonful 5 minutes before each meal and before retiring. As an all,axound tonic this has no superior. It will restore your lost appetite and tend to strengthen and build you up. It purifies the blood and your pimples and ugly blotches will soon disappear. I have known it to be very beneficial for cases of scrofula and other eruptions of the skin. Sarah M.: I do not know of any formula for a bust developer that Is worthy of recommendation. Lucile: A good "liquid powder" or face wash is made by. dissolving 4 ounces of spurmax in i pint of hot water and adding 2 teaspoonfuls of glycerine. This home-made complex' ion beautifier whitens the skin without the use of powder and is particu larly recommended for the use of anyone who has a sallow, dark or oily skin. Archie G.: To remove dandruff and stop falling hair, apply once a week a quinine bair tonic made by dissolving 1 ounce of qulnola In . pint of alcohol, adding Vt pint of cold water. Rnb Into the scalp and hair with the finger tips until absorbed. This treatment will promote the growth of the hair and tend to make it luxuriant and glossy. See answr to Mary A. B. Mary A. B.: It Is not necessary to shampoo the hair often er than twice a month if you use a shampoo that will thoroughly cleanse the hair and scalp. An Inexpensive shampoo is made by dissolving a teasponful of canthrox In a teacupful of hot water. : Pour on the hair and rub well- You will find that this makes a ' good lather end plenty of It thoroughly cleanses the hair and scalp, relieves Irritation.

George L.: A home-made eye tonic that will prevent your ayes from becoming dull, red or Inflamed is easilr procurable. Just get from your drug gist one ounce of crystos and dissolve it in a pint of water. This makes a good eye tonic that will not smart when applied. One or two drops in each eye is the only treatment required. The effect is almost Instantaneous and it gives relief when the eyes are tired, inflamed or sore. This tonic keeps the eyes bright and clear,, strengthens the sight and wilt ben eft you If you wear glasses. Mrs. J. K.: (It Rubbing vaseline la the eyebrows and eyelashes will make them grow out heavier and darker. Never use vaseline elsewhere en the face, for it tends to promote the growth of bair. (Si Ton can make a 1 good face cream jelly by dissolving 1 ounce of almoxoia la plat of cold water and adding 3 teaspoonfuls of glycerine. Lst stand. For massaging apply and let remain for a minute on the face; then rub well with the finger tips. It cleanses the- pores thoroughly and the dirt easily comes out and off your face. College Girl: It will be good new to you to learn that what you eat le now thought to have little to do withobesity, and that if enough exercise fa taken, even a fleshy woman may eat what she wants. To half starve onofteu means iu iook naggara ana aii'v gether unlovely. Don't drink while eating, even water, and don't diiak alcoholic stuff at any time. The best flesh reducer I know of is paraotis. Get from your druggist an original 4-ounce package of paraotis, take It borne and dissolve it in a pint of not water. Take 1 tablespoonful 3 times a day. before meals. -. F. E. L.: Consult your family physician. - "Annie Laurie: Don't worry. Statistics show that one pen-son out of four suffer from eczema or salt rheum at some time or another during life. Try mi., wi. iiwiu wi uvuv es of luxor; mix It with pint of water and 4 tablespoonfals of alcohol. Shake the bottle and pour a small quantity upon the affected surface and allow it to dry. repeating the treatment several times each day until the lnitstkw disappears.
