Tho con tracting parties were Miss Margaret Carrlck and Dr. Allan C. Brooks. The week Just past has been marked by few social events, yet among these Was the beautiful rocontlnn plvon In honor of Miss Seymour at the Bicycle club on Tuesday, which was In many respects ono of tho distinctive affnlrs of the cntlro year. The details were carried out with such perfection of good taste, the unaffected delight nt greeting the honored guest of the even ing was so evident nnd the general air of enjoyment which pervaded the as semblage was so decided that the ladles who took delight In thus planning for Miss Seymour's coming, could not but feel pleased at the result of their grace ful tribute to a gifted townswoman. Another charming affair in which many well-known people took a vivid Interest was tho effective and pretty wedding of Miss Ellen Gibbons, sister of the pastor of the Dunmore Presby terian church, to Mr. Louis M. Smith. Seldom have there been a group of prettier maidens In a bridal party than the bride and her friends, Miss Cornelia Galpln. Miss Troxell. of Plttston, and Miss Shoemaker, of Forty Fort.

Much practice has been a feature during the beautiful weather. Tho Wilkes-Barre men have gone over the links and will also practice again this morning. They nre rather coy about disclosing the ex act personnel of their team, but It Is leasonably sure that Messrs. Johnson Chase, Loveland. HHIman and Hard ing will be included. Some uncertainty regarding tho ef fort of Captain Wat kins' unavoidable withdrawal from the Scranton team has been felt. The match will, how ever, proceed with probably the fol lowing: Messrs. Huntington, Brooks F. Fuller, A. E. Hunt. Jr., Bedford, Simpson. The members of tho Wyo ming Valley Country club have been invited to witness the match, and many will arrive on the 1.10 train this after noon.

Plerson, well known In this city, has published a little book made up of addresses delivered last year in a tour through Great Britain. The title Is: "Shall we continue to Sin?" Tho topic treated Is St. Paul's discussion in Rom. vl-vlli of the duty and privilege of noncontlnuanco of sin. What has 'been tho sole ground for Jus tification is now presented as the sole basis and hope of sanctlfleatlon: as Christ does away with the penalty for sin by His death, bo by Ills life He puts an end to Its power over the true be liever. The subject of this vital union with Christ is one very dear to Dr. Piorson's heart, into which he pours all th'e abundanco of his own Christian experience and glowing enthusiasm.

"How has your society helped your Sabbath school?" Let us hear from ev erybody. 4. Other Sabbath school work possible. 5.

May llo Chnngcd to Ac tivo Intcrcst--N'ot Only llonuty ot Kxprcsslon Hut Loveliness ofCoin plcxlon nnd Contour ol Feature May bo Gaincd--Wrlnklcs Mnv li Smoothed Out und the New Woman 1'roposos to Hnvo None. Every mother's daughter of us wnnts to bo nttrnctlve. There Is nothing more pathetic thnn tho spectacle pre sented by some dlscournged, hopeless woman when she reaches the stage of doing her hnlr In a hard knot, pulled tightly back from her brow nnd for getting to wear a collar. She Is really In a desperate state of mind, and her life Is a sad example of whntn. woman's life should not be. Yet forlorn and apathetic as she muy seem devoid ot nil pride, ambition or Interest In feminine fancies yet it her husband or some ono of her family should whisper a word ot recollection of whnt she used to be, when. her hair waved low down over her ears, when her throat swelled softly from a white frill and when her wrists were plump and supple, the beholder would prob ably note a change the very next day, if in nothing more than a pitiful at tempt to relax the cast Iron severity of the bands of iron gray locks, or to change tho careless custom of attire. What a herculean task would wc women not attempt for a word of ap preciation? Sometimes there nre those of us who stop nt nothing to merit It or nt least to receive it. There are those who would stain their tresses sky blue, if such a feat were possible and If by so doing they could win nn npprovlng word from lips they love. Often they do succeed In securing a pale green tint after the gold of the chemist has faded. Tluy would dye their Hashing teeth a Jet black, or shave their eyebrows, run skewers through their noses or do almost any other absurd thing if thus they could obtain a word of praise from those who seldom notice whether their women kind are arrayed In a modish tailor gown or In sack-cloth garnished with ashes. The feminine longing to be beautiful, because to bo beautiful Is to be loved. Is shown not less by the white darling of riches and luxury, emerging pure and dainty from her down and satin nest, than by the daughter of theolums, underfed, unwatched, nnd imtcnded, yet betraying the Instinct of her sex in the tawdry bit of lace or the gay ribbon at her throat. What Is it Kipling says in his pleas ant brutality? "When you get to a man In the case They're like as a row of pins For the Colonel's lady nnd Judy O'Grady Are sisters under their skins." Why shouldn't we try to look welt just us long as possible, and wage a determined war with age even to the point of robbing him of his terrors? Why not Indeed? A woman may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and if she has a complexion that looks sallow and uncared for, her words are often unheard while people arci wondering it she has something the matter with her liver. She may have a reputation for being very clever, very Intellectual and entertaining but if she looks haggard and worn and habitually wears HI fitting and unbe coming frocks most people and very Intelligent people, too, will lose inter est in her and privately decide' that she Is overrated. She may get the bal lot und work reforms that will mn'ke men's head spin but she never will ac complish this unless she makes a good appearance, looks out of bright eyes, gives some attention to her hair, and dresses In good taste. Now this does sound horribly worldly and not at all new womanly, but the real new woman Isn't a frump. She is a nice bright person with Ideas of doing good and she follows them out with success nnd Incldentnlly looks ns pretty ns possible. THE NEW WOMAN'S THEORY. In these end of the century days she Is growing wise nnd realizes that she has possibilities of beauty that have never been developed and she "goes In" for thnt sort of thing to a liberal extent. The time wns when It was believed that only the young girl, or tho woman under twenty-five need attempt to do anything to Improve her looks as far as complexion and contour of the face was concerned. After that age If she hadn't managed to secure a husband, sho might make spasmodic efforts to "primp" but it would be only pitifully, foolishly ludicrous. Of course if the husband was a verity and had actually been acquired there wasn't nny use of bothering. Muddy skin nnd dull, thin tresses were not to be Interfered with, for they were Inevitable und therefore proper. But we have changed all that. Now It is realized that a woman may not only preserve her youthful looks by care while still young, but that it is possible to restore much of the freshness und loveliness of youth by hygienic rational treatment even after years have come when the precious gift of beauty or even of passable fairness had been thought to he lost forever", nnd when previous thoughtlessness, or worries or toll have done much to make the task dllllcult. Thero nre not a few women in Scranton whose soft exquisite com plexions and firm roundness of cheek and chin continue past the time when a dimming of the beauty might bo na turally accepted.

MICHAEL KING A WHEEL Great Benefit He Has Received from Paine's Celery Compound. Invincible, peerless, wonderful Is Mi chael. When he races the chief compe titor Is time, and when he crosses the tape In his finishing sprint he leaves records as well as opponents behind him. James Michael, the most wonderful bicyclist of the world, recommends nil wheelmen to take Paine's celery com pound. Many a young person and hundreds of older people who have determined to take up bicycling as a health-giving exercise tlnd themselves really lacking the proper "snap" or stamina to begin on. Their bodily condition prevents so spirited exercise. Many who ure really sick, who have suffered from de bility or wastlns diseases for a long time until they had begun to think their troubles had becoma chronic, as nothing gave them relief, would turn to bicycling for relief, but they tlnd that this splendid exercise, like nny other, requires strength to undertake. The blood is out of order, the nerves are deranged and nature's food for both is needed. All such persons will tlnd to their Im mense Joy that Paine's celery com pound will make them well. Michael has made cycle riding a care ful study, and Is in a position to give excellent advice, not only to racing men, but to wheelmen nnd people In general. In reference to his own meth- Ish unllned brow and the tender color of childhood. If the truth were known most of these ure taking facial treat ment nnd have learned the possibilities of massage nnd skin foods. SOMETHING ABOUT FACIAL MAS SAGE. This treatment will not work a miracle but It w ill produces almost Incredible results There Is some cost, to be sure, but no great blessing Is gained without a price. The treat ment Is however, not very expensive and the method Is soon learned. After that it Is possible for one to manipu late the face for one's self. I.Ike manicuring the right hand it Is not so perfectly dune as by a profes sional but It secures excellent results. There must be two requisites time and patience. Too many of us have neither and must go with wrinkled, puckered up visages, the result of our absurd grimaces when in conversation; must be, content with pasty complexions, harsh, gray hair and scrawny necks. If the days and nights were longer and we didn't have twenty-three distinct things to do every waking moment we might be pretty, too, but in my case at least I won't be a dog In tho manger but will give you Just a few hints to set you right If you have not secured a sufficient quantity of beauty to keep In definitely. A NICE CLEAN FACE. This facial massage is a great Insti tution. If you have never taken it you don't know what it is to feel that your face is actually clean. I remem ber a woman who had a complexion, delectable to look upon. She used to boast that she Jiad not washed her fnca In fifteen years. She had compromised matters by wiping it orf occasionally with nn oily cloth and believed this to bo tho Fecret of her fair skin. I al ways held the private opinion that sho hnd that skin In spite nnd not because of her atrocious ill treatment of her lovely face. Some of her friends tried to obtain similar complexions by the same method and the result was a horrible example to tho disciples of tho great unwashed. I've often won dered lately how she would feel after a session with a facial masseuse. HOW SHE DOES IT. Tho operator-Miy the way this ono I have in mind has a lovely hand and nrm, round and soft. Just tho kind you like to havo wander caressingly over your face mercy me, I should think men would want to take facial massage even If It resulted ,ln the acquisition of plump countenances llko unto a full moon! It must bo ut leiist ns pleasant us being shaved by a garrulous barber. Well as was about to state, the operator uses a rotary motion of the (lingers, softly kneading with their tips every portion of tho face, the brow with its lines, often formed at an early ago Is gently pinched and pulled In an opposite direction from tho creases. First of all tho face must he thoroughly washed with a soft sponge and very hot water with soap of a pure variety. "When it 1b dry tho finger tips aro dipped in oil and tho kneading process begins. Beware of somo kinds of cold cream. Too much ot thU article Is made of spermaceti and white vasolino which is ods tho following will interest every, body: Boston, Mass., Feb. 21, 1897. After the exertion of my record rldcsj while with the Morgan & Wright teant In the South last winter, during which! I lost somewhat In weight, on account) of the unaccustomed climate, I was advised to use Paine's compound. X am pleased to sav that It gave such! satisfaction that I was Impelled ta use It again to brace up from the ef fects of the two unusually rough ocean! trips that I have taken during thd past month. I believe that wheelmen who have to undergo the hardships ot "circuit chasing" will tlnd Paine's cel- ery compound of assistance In keeping up their physical tone. Jlmmle Michael. Thousands need to take a remedy to purify their blood, arouse the cir culation and counteract the debilitat ing effect of confining work, worry and excitement. The more intelligent portion of every community arethe ones who best recommend Paine's celery compound. They have looked Into the great reim edy, followed Its remarkable achieve ments in the case of friends, neigh bors and relatives, and know Just what to expect from its use as a nerve and brain strengthener and restorer and an ideal Invigorator for a run-down sys tem. ' i 1 wonderfully effective on the Tlsage oi the young man endeavoring to growj a moustache, but not particularly de-l slrable to the average woman, even 1C sho should be running for office. If; you ure uncertain as to brands of cold cream go to some reliable facra masseuse and secure a preacription on a sultlclent quantity of preparation, o else get pure cocoa oil which agrees) with most skins. If by a rare chancq it .should be found to irritate, thero 13 always the plain wholesome resort pure ollvo oil. The face must be patiently kneaded, over every portion, particularly tho sides nearest the ears, often neglected; In self treatment. Indeed It is scarcely possible to gain a correct Idea of what is necessary without having at least two or three treatments at the hands of an expert. To begin again, the face is wnshed with hot water and soap as before, al ways using th' sofest possible sponge. The kneading process is then repeated; and after a third washing it Is readyj for a skin food. But there really lsn'o another Inch of space for this long drawn out and rambling dissertation! and you'll Just have to wait until next week for that prescription and tho re mainder of your loveliness, so I'll leavw you with your face nice and oily an6J like unto the visage of a. Dahomey beauty. Only I'd like to tcy Just thla to the men It's too bad they won't seo. It for they don't read this column aj few tender words, a "Dear, you look! fulr to mo tonight" would do more ta produce rosv cheeks nnd a marvelous brightness of eye and a pretty curva to the lips that havo begun to losd freshness and show the burden of years or worrv than all tho famous concoci tlons of all the famous beauties that ever lived and nil tho deft touches oj tho most expert masseuse. But, ah me, you won't say them, you men, at least half as often as we want to hear, and so I proposo to Inclto the wives nnd daughters to experimenting that may cost you a little money, which how ever, you may rather spend than mercj words.
