I know a girl who had the dearest dimples In her cheeks last year but who now, after less than two summers of cycling and gum chewing, has plain and unmistakable wrinkles where tho dimples used to come and go, and with the additional difference that the wrinkles never will go, while the dim ples have- gone forever; Entirely too many nice girls go speed ing through our streets these days chewing sum at a rate only equalled heretofore by the members of a "la dles' " base ball nine. The only more objectionable wheeling spectacle than the gum chewing girl, Is the gum chewing woman of middle age who rides a bicycle and works her Jaws In unison with tho pedals, Scranton wo men nuve as a rule been very conser vative In most matters in tho past; It will bs a pity If they follow up-to-date riders of a certain class and adopt gum chowlng permanently. All people nre superstitious. This may seem a broad assertion but It Is mado with the conviction of its abso lute ttuth. There are those who declare to the contrary but it does not take long to find a vulnerable point In their panoply of Intellectual superiority. Tho man who derides you for weeping at the ominous shattering of a mirror probably carries a horse chestnut in his Docket, or a certain coin to which, far reasons he cannot explain, he at taches an exaggerated value, and for tho loss of which he would regard the wife of his bosom with a degree of sus picion lest she had found it on tho iloor and, driven "by the hard times, had spent It for fruit Jars. The new woman, who would scorn to waft a wish over her right shoulder toward the slim new moon In the west, and who has no foolish notions about Friday and the number thirteen, would probably hesitate to admit the fact that she wears somo portion of her ap parel wrongslde out all day rather than "turn it for had luck." I know a Scranton girl who Is gener ally conceded to have more common sense than falls to tho lot of the aver ago mortal, but she will not cross tho street whero a funeral procession Is passing, If Its line Is as long as that of the Pennsylvania troops on Inaugura tion duy. There is a Scranton banker who has been discovered backing erratically around his lawn In order not to catch his first glimpse of the new moon over thp wrong shoulder, and another well known citizen- has come to the grim ed by Rev.

Everybody is invited. conclusion that he Is a hoodoo for the Scranton base ball team, as no matter how well they are playing, If he ar rives on the scene our men promptly begin to waver. It Is a fact that ho has not this season seen them win n game, and as he has a pass It is a little unreasonable to ask him to stay at home more frequently. There Is a lady In this city who really Is as devoid of superstitious notions as one well can be, and yet she has a per fect horror of palmistry, having once suffered a terrible grief foretold In this way. There Is another whose energies nre so thoroughly devoted to charit able and religious work and the inter ests of those about her that It would seem there could remain no room In her heart for uncanny fancies, but nothing could Induce her to sit at table where thirteen were grouped. Now I want to give an authentic In stance of tho thirteen belief. There was that number at a luncheon given last summer by a hostess, prominent In Scranton society, and the year waxed old and died, while every one who was present lived not only tho year out, but more than a twelvemonth from tho date of the luncheon has passed and the thirteen are yet alive. However, there were guests present that day who would probably have from choice fallen In a fit if by so doing they could have escaped forming one of the fatal number. I started out with the Intention of speaking of the almost universal, if yet unacknowledged superhtltion which exists concerning dreams. I find that many people have what might be termed a "dream hoo-doo," a recurrent vision which they have grown to be lieve an omen ot bad luck, or trouble. It Is surprising what a number of In telligent persons hav this vagary safe. ly stowed away among tjheir worldly wise, precepts. If closely questioned It will be discovered that a large major ity of people who dream at all have a certain familiar vision that means something unpleasant. Readers of "Jane Eyre" may remem ber the fateful vision which came to her on the eve of her tragic wedding day, when she dreamed that she wan dered far and weary and always bur dened with the charge of a little child, that walled plteously and clung to her and sho might not lay It down. Not a few persons declare that If in their dreams a little strange child appears they at once recognize the warning of trouble. A young girl, not of a superstitious turn of mind, whose fair mother left her lonely too early In life, says that sho has a familiar dream when the dear ono comes to her and clasps her closely, weeping and sobbing, and that always this night visitation presages grief and trouble. A friend, of very practical sentiments, dislikes to speak of one dream ho has which Is of a fair, almost paradisical landscape stretching far beyond his gaze, and wIiobo mlrago always pres ages business losses. On the contrary, a young woman of this city, of exceptionally religious In Social and PERSONAL LIVED IN VAIN. Ho hnd wandered over deserts And had climbed tho Alplno steeps, Fnr In caves had penetrnted Whcro tho yellow tiger sleeps. He had chased big game In China; Ho had fished In Icy seas; On tho plains had camped out nightly, Near Apaches' dark tepees. He had been a centre-fleldcr In a college baso ball nine. And had rowed In six regattas With his boat ahead In line. But he shrank to smnll dimensions, Deepest scorn his friends' eyes bore. When he played golf that one morning With three figures to his scoro. This week has been pronounced tho best ever lived In the history of Coun try club golfers as far ns golf Is con cerned. Not too hot, little wind, a glorious breeze, nothing was left to be desired. The feminine players said It was divine, which Is a. little strong even as applied to golf, but the men used a stronger term, hence perhaps no criticism 1h necessary. Even every day mortals who do not play golf and who have not "lain on the roses and slept on the lilies of life" were eminently satisfied with the weather of the past six days. Today's event nt the Country club will be mixed fourpomes. Considerable Interest Is felt In the contest. It Is probable that the players will Include Mrs. C. L. Froy, Miss Hunt, Miss Welles, Miss Anderson, Miss Reynolds, Messrs. Brooks, Huntington, Blair, Hunt and Walker. Everett Hunt lowered his record this week to 42, which Is the nearest to that of Huntington and Brooks, of 40. Messrs. Whltmore, Bedford, Scrnnton nnd Walker have been doing some ex cellent playing on the links In the past' few days In working for tho team. Miss Anderson made two rounds Thursday in 50. There Is prospect of fall matches with Albany and Morrlstown if the Interest continues to Increase as it now prom ises to do. Tho addition to the links Is completed nnd the turf will have grown so that the full course may be used by September. There Is a possibility that the draw ing contfst scheduled for next Satur day may be postponed owing to the absence of so many men from the city. J. II. Brooks played a 6 handicap against F. C. Whltmore this week win ning four out of seven. Among the players much on the links recently nre Dr. Frey, Selden Kingsbury. H. S. Klrkpatrick, L. B. and Theodore Fuller, J. M. Boles, Rol lln Mnnvllle, Mortimer Fuller, Claude Walker. The New York Sun recently declared that there were but two men up to that date In this country who had made the first hole In one stroke. A third was then announced by this Journal as hav ing accomplished this well nigh impos sible feat. It is worthy of remark that A. K. Hunt, Jr., wan the real third to make this record as It was done some time before the Sun's announcement. Social Gossip, A driving party composed of Miss Florence Finch, Miss Ollls, of Knnsas City; the Misses Barker, of Buffalo; Miss Plerson, Miss Buck nnd Miss stincts and principles, declares that sh has a "personnl devil" dream when Mephlsto himself, arrayed In scarlet In approved Faust a la Louis Morri son style, appears and makes him self extremely agreeable. Sometimes ho dances with her as his, part ner, and at others, ho talks very de lightfully. She always recognizes this particular dream with lively pleasure for It betokens happiness to follow In tho succeeding days. A prominent Jurist of this city tells of a recurrent dream of his own, which, while It Is connected with no super stitions or prophetic fancies. Is always recognized as a familiar and pleasant experience. In It a horse, dear to his boyhood days. Is again a congenial companion; only In the dream the an. lmal Is gifted with the advantage of speech, and converses intelligently with his one-time friend. According to Mark Twain's theory, these periodical and familiar dreams are the result of Impressions made by the uream at Its llrst npp-arance, which were doubtless so vivid that, the "warder of the brain" asleep, wan ders far afield and again pursues Its fantasy of another night. St. Luke's Summer Home Is a deal more like a stately old-time residence of a hospitable race whose broad lands and riches arc represented by Its open welcome than a home with tho tag of "charity" attached. One-tenth of those who in previous seasons havo been benefited by its existence were mem bers of St. Luke's church. The others were scattered nmong many races and sects. This is why so many organiza tions outside the church named have generously added to Its equipment. Surely the blessing of yesterday will follow It through the years. The old mansion, could Its history be told, would probably be even more In teresting than ever, for In some re spects It hns been connected with many unusual events. Built In 1865 by a wealthy Philadelphia!!, who hoped to make It his home for many summers, but two brief seasons saw him as Its master. Then he went away where houses and lands are ot small Import to the released soul, Ills aristocratic family went abroad nnd a daughter made a great marriage with a foreign count and probably did not live happy evei after. Tho succeeding owner had disasters. Later on tho tannery, the centre of In clustjj In that region, Burned. Lumber grew scarce, other owners havo not found the good. fortune expected, In tho great house. Some say a, ban rested upon It, but whether the Ill-luck comes from the marriage of a daughter "of tho master with this count Is not explained by tho country folk. Whatever tho spell, or hoodoo, It Is sorely banished forever by the blessed service of yes terday, and as If to assuro defiance ot fate and superstition, was It not dedl catcd on Friday, and Is It not rumored thai thirteen 'sat at Uble at luncheon? But then to compensate for all this, was not,a four-leafed clover found al most under the very threshold of the door.

An account of ex-President Graver Cleveland's marriage by an English writer, who has published a study of the "Doctor" contains the following startling Information: "After the cere mony had ended, no elaborate banquet was served; but the guests, with true Democratic simplicity, partook of a little supper sent in from a neighbor ing tavern, nnd Including the national delicacies of terrapin, canvass-baci: duck, clams, Indian mush. Ice cream and cold buckwheat cakes." 5 Miss Anna Edwards, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Edwards, of Hampton street, was quietly married to William Henry Parry, of North Hyde Park ave nue, at 6.30 Thursday morning by Rev.

Cholera Infantum Traced to Improper Feeding, ..:: Nurses Say Only Safety Is in Lactated Food. 'P Pony Babies Grow Big and Strong When Fed on It '..."',. The Best Diet In the Worldt (Jrowlng Children. lM ii" It Is truly a triumph In Infant xfeed Ing when babies tnko a -food with evU dent relish, even when the .vveathor Is the hottest, nnd when 'tlio tone' "6t their little stomachs Is so f6dtic'eU'"b'yK tho heat. And this Is why so.,mnny careful mothers who have reared largo .famil ies successfully, not t6 m&ntlbtt' phy sicians and trained hiirses 6vci',y'wheYo so earnestly urge a diet ot lactated food whenever tho Infant , digestion. Ms feeble. . . , ,.., ,,, Whenever no especial precaution, l taking In feeding children hot weath er Is Just as sure to multiply Uie dcathy of Infants ns the Infants nre td bo boriV. Babies and young children' feel th6 disastrous effect of high terripcr&tuffc much more than '6thers. ',n, "" Half the deaths In July aro' thosc:ttf children under live years. Every ,sun7 mer more than a third of all who d(o aro Infants. Babies who have the advantage of their mother's milk stand the hot weather better than others, provided the mother's milk agrees with them and Is plentiful and rich In the ele ments that make flesh and bone. But such perfect breast milk Is rarely main tained during the entire nursing period by even ttio most robust mothers. Whero a falling off In the nurlshlng qualities of baby's earliest food Is sus pected, lactated food Is the most per feot substitute for the pure mother's milk. Physicians, when called In cases of severe bowel affections, which come on so suddenly, and so commonly prove fatal, put the baby without delay on a diet of this splendid nutriment, lac tated food. It fully nourishes the child, yet does not Irritate the intestinal tract that ha been disturbed by hot weath er, nor overturn the sick stomach. Weak, pining and fretful babies are quieted by lactated food. They take It eagerly and gain steadily In weight and size without Interruption because of hot weather. Parents are apt to wait from day to day hoping for Improvement in the condition of their child. It Is this un wise delay, that so often costs the child's life. At the llrst Indication that baby Is not taking sutflcent food for rapid growth, or when tho child shows signs of weakness. Its skin continually wet with perspiration. Its lips and cheeks pale, and Its eyes heavy, It Is Impera tive that the little one should be better nourished. Lactated food at once Im proves the appetite and makes sure that the child's digestion Is supplying strength and the means for steady growth, Babies grow big and strong on lactated food. Closo observation of countless weaning babies and of others not thriving because they can not bo Induced to eat, or because their food does not nourish them, led to the preparation of lactated foood. With all these hindrances to perfect infant health In mind, lactated food is pre pared under the advice of professors in the medical department of the Ver mont university. This remarkable In fant food Is usually agreeable to an Infant's stomach. Palatableness was one of the advantages earnestly sought In Its preparation. It was seen that with every advantage of purity, rich ness and nourishing power lactated food must be made palatable to effect any good. Children take lactated food even In the hottest weather, because It agrees with them. And they take It In sulllcient quantities and with re. llsh, so that they Increase rapidly In weight and size, and begin very soon to hold up their heads, play and be come noisy and happy. Practiced physicians prescribe lac tated food to be kept always on hand and used at once on the first Indication of looseness or loss of, strength, orlf baby Is evidently not thriving pn"lfs present diet. Lactated food Is the in', fant food physicians use In the!r''own families. ' v SIIU WAS WORRIED. But the Absent-Minded "Professor Had Ills Trousers On.
