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

bons, after which a reception wus held

Interest at the Country club this week
has centred In the march to take p!ao
today between our team and that of
the Wllkes-Barro Country club. 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

ment committee, composed of Mrs. C.
R. Parke, Mrs. II. B. Reynolds, Miss

Some time In November it is prob
able that the Ladles' Handicap for
the prize offered by Mr. T. E. Jnnes,
will be played. The practice work on
the course gives evidence of a close
match.

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.
He speaks In these latest utterances
with all his wonted warmth and powcj;.

Among the practical questions dis
cussed at the Easton Christian Endeav
or convention were the following which
resulted In vnluable suggestions:
1. "How has Christian Endeavor
helped your mid-week meeting of the
church?" Half-minute sentence re
sponses from everybody.
2. "What more can we do for the mid'
week meeting?"
3. "How has your society helped your
Sabbath school?" Let us hear from ev
erybody. 4. Other Sabbath school work possible.
5. "How has the society helped the fin
ances of the church and tho missionary
offerings?"
C. What are your plans for more giv
ing? 7. "How does Christian Endeavor help
tho preaching services?"
8. Greater plans for these.
9. "How has Christian Endeavor helped
tho pastor?" Lot us have tho pastors
present testify.
ID. What more do pastors want or what
can societies see beyond to do?
Wo might go further nnd show how
our movement has increased denomina
tional loyalty of an intelligent and en
thusiastic sort without bigotry; how It
has stimulated and carried on revivals,
missions and charitable work. But tho
past Is only tho promise and prophecy of
a marvelous future.

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. Thero nro young
women who preserve yet the fair girl-

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. SAUCY BESS.
