Everything is bril- liant, from the flowers planted on the beach to the sea itself, which is illumi- nated by night. At Les Ambassadeurs the blaze of dlamonds within is rivaled by the blaze of fireworks outside the windows: you tango in purple lights and waltz in manufactured moonlight. z And beauty herself vies with all this brilliance; instead of heavily blackened eyelids you will see every pair of fash- ionable orbs set in a frame of gold powder, surmounted by a straight line of eyebrow like the dash beneath a signature, Nature's own arched brows having been plucked away. Lord -Michelham, Mistinguett, the Maharajah of Indore and his American | wife, the former Nancy Miller, and Hope Hampton and her millionaire hus- band all graced the opening of this bright season, and Mme. Dubonnet’s claim to fame as _the best dressed woman in the world is serfously chal- leaged by beautiful Mme. Martinez de Hoz. Fortunes are changing hands at the tables as ever, and M. Zographos is once more impassively juggling with millions at the high baccarat. Not only the millionaires but the really exclusive set of beggars go to Eyes Set in Frame of Gold Straight Brows.

PHILADELPHIA (#)—Mines in two continents of the Southern Hemisphere are about to be ransacked for new min- eral specimens with which to enrich the mineralogical collections ‘of the Academy of Natural Sciences. Samuel G. Gordon, associate curator of the department of mineralogy of the academy, will sail August 15 o spend two months in_the mines of the Bo- livian_Andes. Then he will cross to Cape Town. He will collect in South African mines for the remainder of the year. He will visit copper mines in Southwest Africa, copper, chromium, platinum, as- bestos and diamond mines in Rhodesia and copper mines in the Belgian Congo. Mr. Gordon's travels have added much to mineralogical knowledge. In 1921 he discovered two new minerals, vauxite and paravauxite, and in 1923 | kaiithomsonite and alphacatapleiite. CHURCH TO PROFIT BY HUGE BUILDING Revenue From San Francisco Skyscraper Added to Meth- odists’ Treasury. By the Associated Press. | SAN FRANCISCO, August 17— | A golden harvest reaped from catering to the comforts of patrons of a modern skyscraper hotel soon will provide ad- ditional means for the soul-saving work of San Francisco Methodists. While not entering the hotel business themselves, they will reap the profit from operation of the hotel when the 27-story combination church and hotel they are erecting in the heart of the city is opened next Fall. The first four floors will be the home of the Temple Methodist Church, and the rest of the $2,900,000 structure will be devoted to catering to transients of the city. Built by Corporation. In undertaking the gigantic business project, the churchmen organized & corporation which will be the landlord for the building, leasing the 534-room hotel to an operating company from which it will collect the rent. The profits will be administered by the corporation. Financially unstable churches will be alded, contributions de to varlous Methodist benevo- nces, and some money will be used to strengthen interest in Christian work. Temple Church will raise its own funds. Back of the project is the dynamic figure of Dr. Walter John Sherman, pastor of the church, who discarded the rough garb of a stone cutter to be- come a bullder of the Christian king- dom. Now a doctor of divinity, Dr. Sherman recognized the need for a mammoth structure and sold the idea () his congregation. Sees Need of Financial Resources. He planned the institution of service to souls and material comfort, realizing 2 building large enough to attain his purposes in a district dominated by glant structures must have resources other than ecclesiastical, | Dr. Sherman temporarily returned to overalls to drive the first three rivets for the new building and expects to p& the finishing touch on the structure, a The church will occupy the major portion of the four floors, connected with the hotel only by a passageway. There will be & sanctuary seating 1,500 persons, a chapel and Sunday school rooms. Other features include social center units and a gymnasium. SMALL MEXICAN PLANT BOASTS 0DD HISTORY Zinnia Was Named for a German by French Breeder After Long Travels. Growing wild along highways and by- ways of old Mexico may be found masses of an unpretentious little plant | somewhat resembling in form the com- | mon Black-eyed Susan, although the center is yellow and the petals are ircddlsh. | _About the year 1858 some seeds of this native Mexican, says Nature Maga- zine, found their way to the.West Indies and thence to the nursery of M. Grazau at Bragneres, France. But either these | were not the usual seeds of this simple | species or else the plants respond wonderfully well to rich nursery soil and changed climate, because, instead of producing the ordinary daisylike type of blossoms, double flowers of bril- liant hue rewarded M. Garzau's faith in trying out this stranger. M. Grazau called the attention of the great French flower breeder, Vilmorin, to this newest of nature’s offerings. Vilmorin, much impressed, decided to do a litlle breeding of the promising newcomer on his own account, and two Iy later he publicly introduced the Be Sure fo attend the .4 DAY OPENING sears.Roebuck and Co.

IDEAL GOLF CLIMATE OFFERED BY HAWAII General Average Temperature Is 75 Degrees, With 8-Point Variation. Golfers, listen to this one: The old language of the Polynesians contained no word for “weather,” because the na- | tives could hardly distinguish the tem- p:;nura change from one season to the other. Perhaps the greatest charm of Hawaii is its climate. In the city of Honolulu last year the thermometer crept up to 86 degrees and once down to 60 degrees, a range that seems too good to be true. The rough general Hawallan average is about 75 degrees, with variations of 8 degrees either way, says Nature Maga- zine. Mountain and sea breezes con- stantly fan the valleys and the plains. As one climbs into the hills, which on the windward sides of Kaui, Maui and Oahu jut straight up from the sea, each 1,000 feet drops the temperature about 4 or 5 degrees. On the W{Q of Mauna Kea, 13,823 feet high—the loftiest peak of all—zero is sometimes reached and snow remains for months in the year. The arrangement is almost thermostatic —one can pick just the temperature one wishes, ‘The steady-blowing “trades” are the real climate builders, however, and are largely responsible for the endless varia- tion of plant life. Like an overloaded plane dropping gasoline ballast, they spill their tons of moisture on the wind- ward peaks, but have only a few drops for the parched valleys to the southwest. Awini, on Hawalii, groans beneath the welght of 167.68 inches of rain each ear, while Mahukona, 9 miles distant, asts of but 16.6 inches. The slopes of Mount Walaleale—and well is it named in the native tongue, “Rippling Water”—are the wettest of any on carth, for 476 inches fall there yearly, breaking the record of old Cherrapuniji, in the Khasl hills of British India, which soaks up a mere 426 inches. Yet within 14 miles of Waialeale a weather station records but 22.21 inches in 365 days. Hawail has about 600 species of plants found nowhere else. NORMA TERRIS TO WED. LOS ANGELES, August 17 (P).— Norma Terris, 23, New York actress, and Dr. Jerome Wagner, 42, also of New York, applied for a marriage license yesterday. They set their wed- ding for next Wednesday. Miss: Terris, who met Dr. Wagner during her appearances in Broadway plays, about two years ago, is here com- pleting a motion picture. Following the wedding the couple plan to return to New York.
