The hour of the party was set at 8:30. Promptly on time came trooping all the usual characters of a fancy dress party, with half a dozen absolutely original ones for good measure.

Most people eat little, if any, rye.

Yet rye is one of tho most healthful and nutritious cereals. Dr. Jackson's Roman Meal, the most nutritious cereal food known to science, contains 35 per cent whole berries of rye. In addition it contains whole wheat, deodorized flax, seed and bran. It distinctly differs in composition from any other food on the market.

It will positively relieve constipation or "money back." Roman Meal looks different and requires a simpler way of preparation!

In a short green blazer and white flannel skirtie, green stockings, white sport shoes and a saucy black velvet jockey cap, she made a captivating picture.

"A good little country, whose people do not quite understand American sentiment and American ways, and who, in certain classes, are far from friendly to Americans," Is his impression of New Zealand.

He says the American policy of strict neutrality is not appreciated in New Zealand, as the New Zealanders seem to think that, the United States should "jump right into the conflict on the side of the allies." Jones ascribes this to the fact that the New Zealanders are more British and more Imperialistic in their views than even the English themselves. He says New Zealand is prosperous, but It does not offer such a good field for American goods as does Australia. W. A. BISSETT, business man of Seattle, who has been on an extended visit to Guatemala, returned here yesterday.

He Is at the Palace. Blssett says that the United States is not the only country which has its troops ready to cope with the Mexican situation. Little Guatemala has no less than 30,000 men on the Mexican border, Bissett says. "There Is no actual trouble between the two Latin governments," he continued, "but there have been so many raids into Guatemalan territory by Mexican bandits and horse and cattle thieves that the matter has developed In a real danger for Guatemala. I visited many border towns and found them all full of troops." Bissett was struck with the enormous difference between Mexicans and Guatemalans.

"The Guatemalans even the Indians are very hospitable and kind," he said. "The Guatemalan cities are clean and their homes and hotels comfortable. The people are exceedingly well Informed, and even the Indians, who could only speak a few words of English, asked me questions about the European war which showed how well posted they are on that subject."

REYNOLDS, assistant manager of the Palace, left yesterday on a business trip to Southern THE scene when the youngsters formed for the grand march was like that of the Mardi Gras for color and diversity of character. But the ebulliency of youth, the unfeigned, unconscious grace of childhood gave a piquancy which the grown-up party utterly lacked.

There were but few masks, no court and no queen and her court, but the costumes were equally as lovely, rich of color and fabric. The patronesses of the dancing class were on hand early and quite soon afterward the great room was lined with adoring mothers and a few fathers, some to see their boys and girls In the roles which they had played at the Mardi Gras a few weeks before.
