A Splendid Investment
The purchaser of diamonds has the satisfaction of possess
ing in tangible, useful form an amount of genuine wealth.
Aside from the favorable attraction, commercially, by
those wearing diamonds, they form an investment that is sec
ond to few, indeed. They have successfully weathered every
depression without a single break in price. The constant in
crease in value has been remarkable. Ten years ago you could
have bought them for half, or less, of what they cost today.
Where it is not the desire of our customers to pay all
cash, we are glad to extend our partial payment plan, where
by yotii' purchase can be paid for with the least inconvenience.
Write or call for the plan in detail.

calendar, taking place last night. The
Pan-Hellenic dance is given by the
eleven fraternities of Tech and Is al

merry dancers, whose youthful gayety
was proof against any suggestion of
the horrible or grotesque.
The evening was a happy one, in
every respect. The hall was decorated
in the white and yellow of Tech, and
the dance cards bearing the name, Pan-
Hellenic, were decorated with little red
devils, surrounded by the frat names.
The punch bowl was sunken in a bed
of ice, into which were frozen clusters
of pink and white sweetpeas.

women from over the state. The affair
was one of the happiest events of the

Try Skin Absorption
Instead of Cosmetics
(From The Woman Militant.)
The constant use of rouge and pow
der Invites a coarsened, roughened
condition of the skin, eruptions, en
larged pores and wrinkles, if you're
learned this from experience, suppose
you quit cosmetics and try what I rec
ommend.
Ask your druggist, for an ounce of or
dinary’ mercoiized wax and begin using
this tonight. Apply like cold cream,
washing it off in the morning. Keep
this up for a week or two. The wax
will literally absorb the coarse, color
less or blemished top skin, but so grad
ually as not to discommode, you at all.
Just as gradually the clear, velvety,
naturally-tinted underskin comes to
the surface. And mercoiized wax be
comes your everlasting friend.
For those wrinkles and large pores,
make a face bath by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in a half
pint witch hazel. This has remarkable
astringent and tonic properties, and
beneficial results come quickly.
