Seldom lias a Thanksgiving season
approached wlih bo little of social note
In prpspeot. It was hoped that a dance
would be arinnm-d for Friday night,
but as yet nothln-.r definite has been
announced. There will be n number
of out-of-town guests returning with
the collego men and maidens and It Is
rather a pity that something In the
wny of entertainment cannot be
planned All energy In that direction
seems to be held In abeyance for the
Clvrlstinnii-tldo when the iinch-elors'
ball and several handsome functions In
honor of the Princeton Glee club will
be Important matters.
The doll show on Spruce street l a
great success, La.s night It was said
that the pretty exhibition room could
scarcely accommodate the throngs who
desired to see the unique collection.
The tea room was on nttt active setting
for tableaux vlvnnt, with Its oriental
rugs nnd draperies' the palms nnd
.chrysanthemums, Ith the dulntlly ap
pointed tabln'ln the bacligrcund, wlwe
Mrs. T. II. Wntklns poured tea. Amonij
the ladles who nss'stccl In Eervlr.g were
Mrs W. W. Scranton, Mrs. 11. Q. Powv
ell, Mrs. C. S. AWston, Mr?. J. IJenJ.
Dlmmlck Miss Kllzaheth Howell. A
number of well known gentlemen. In
cluding Messrs. T. II. Walking, W. V,'.
Scranton nnd J. II. Torrev, lent their
aid In making gucMs welcome.
As to the exhibition. It Is not more
Interesting to children than to their
elder". In fact the litter will prob
ably find it an unlimited flld for study
and obsnrvntlon, nrd Its value from
an ethnological point of view Is vast.
The specimens from out of the way
parts of the world, the racial charac
teristics that are evident In the qup'-r
little figures, the costvnT-s nnd the at
titudes all afford mi c:i"ptlonal degree
of Interest .and amusement.
Todny lc cream will b served and
Uic door vlll be opened at 10 o'clock
for the day nnd ( veiling. No one can
afford to miss the exhibition, and
everv visitor helps the free kindergar
tens of the city.
Tho sale opened bv the guilds of St
Mnrparet nnd St. Hilda at St. Luke's
pprlsh house vesterdav was largely at- j
tended and with excellent financial re-
nults The beautiful rooms of these
guilds were charmingly deeorafd, and
thp pretty tables were laden with
quantities of beautiful articles, which ,
found readv sale to the many visitors.
Last evening ho patrona"" wns aug
mented to a confldmbl" degree. About
the roomr Mrs. Alary Throop Phelps,
like the good fnliy of the palace, was
conveyed, giving a smiling word of en-1
cQuragement to; thp young ladles who
had worked so bard tor the success of
this annual fete.

The lot of the amateur theatrical pro
moter Is not always a happy one. If
some scheme could be devised whereby
there could be ei.ough star roles to go
round muih of the difficulty might be
obylated Mil sudy enough none of the
dramut.s.s seem to have thought out
a play 'vhleh contains only leading la
dles and gentlemen no thinking parts,
no wa'klng ladles, no hou.-.emalds, no
footmen, no stars of second magnitude.
Of course the professional has time
to work up through various gradations
until he.arrlves at thr top, but the ama
teur must rise to fame through one
fell swoop If the decidedly mixed met
nphor may be permitted If he Is to get
there at all. He cannot afford to wait,
.hence he must bo the hero If he can
not be the leading lady. Thus It Is that
the average amateur performance Is
ever produced It must be after vicissi
tudes varied in character and more
picturesque In detail than the play It

pressive of the love and esteem of the
scores of girls to whom she has en
deared herself during her connection
with the t, W. C. A. work In this city.
She was quite unnerved for a time by
the surprise and meeting with 1, .-r old
friends. The orchestra consisted 'of

it HRR POINT OP VIEW Si
Electricity Is the latest thing. Of
jourst It Is. E urybody knows that, j
But as a beautiflcr It has grown to be ,
the fad of the hour. If you are a man .
and come home some day to find your
mother rejuvenated and looking any
where from ten to twenty-five years
younger, you may know that she has j
been receiving electrical massase. If
you suddenly discover that your wife I
Is prettier than she was when you
married her; that the gray hairs sho i
had last week are Invisible today, and '
that you must have dreamed she wns I
acquiring a few wrinkles between her I
eyes, you may fancy It Is because you
are growing more amiable or have re
formed or something, but It Is more ,
probable that she has been visiting
the electrical manipulator; that she la j
Just as well aware of the Improvement
In her appearance as are you, and that i
you might as well hand over the money i
for thtt new toilor gown at once.
If you don't have turkey and a cer
tain expensive but favorite pudding
as often ns you believe to be your
right, you may confidently assume that
she Is saving money for extra treat
ments from an expert In beauty mak
ing. If she becomes suddenly very
grasping and prefers money to theatre
tickets or new curtains, you may be
equally sure she is going in for tho
new fad.
The doctors have discovered that
wi Inkles and other stupid accompani
ments of age and worry result from a
lack of electricity In tho flesh and skin.
So If you are a patron of the new treat
ment you sit down by the dressing
tablo and hear a persistent buzzing
which calls up unpleasant recollections
of dentistry. You are told to clasp a
convenient little cylinder attached to
the buzzer by a fierce green string,
while a sponge similarly attached, and
wet with a tonic Is rapidly passod'over
your head close to the roots of the
hair.
It Is a little like being electrocuted,
but not quite, nnd It raises your hair
literally, together with any dandruff
nccrulng thereto, and It gives you queer
little thrills, while If you've had a
headache that disorder will have lied.
But It Is good for tho scalp, very, and
It stimulates the growth of the hair,
arrests grayness and seems to destroy
any disease germs. One Is always In
tensely sleepy after a treatment, which
Is a good thing In Scranton, whore tho
days and nights aren't long enough to
permit sufficient slumber.
The electrical application Is equally
good for the face, as It gives new life
to tho sluggish pores and strengthens
the flabby muscles. Careful massage
and a plentiful supply of skin food af
ter an electrical treatment will work
wonders In even the most haggard
countenance.
You can't ,convlnce me that the
world Isn't growing better. Even
fashion Is Betting the pace for more
1 conscientious living. Aa an Illustra
tion, It Is no longer nn evidence of spe
cial god taste and breeding to regard
everything nnd everybody with a cool
stare of Indifference. It Is fnshlonablo
to give some expression to emotions, to
make no crtort to studiously conceal
the pleasure which Is felt nt the sight
of the beautiful or Interesting. In
fact, we seem to be coming to an ago
of enthusiasm when to repress senti
ments of delight nt something delight
ful; to be cold nnd sharp In criticisms
and unsympathetic Is to openly bear
the mark of affectation or lack of In
telligence. Tito woman who will not laugh hear
tljy or weep, who will not frown or
smile much, will go down to her grave
with a brow which has never neclM
niaEsagc or electricity for cffuclng Its
lines. There never will bo any lines.
But what a cold, hard life, whun feel
ings of grief or glndncs must not be
entertained lest they mar tho mask.
It Is so much better to laugh when
there Is something pleasant, to cry as
heartily over somebody else's woes; to
stillle at the world nnd to go through
life with a beautiful enthusiasm, a
capacity for enjoying goodness, beauty,
truth nnd a frank acknowledgment of
that pleasute.
The person who sees life forever sit
ting In the sunshln" nnd crowned with
a halo may not have the superfine ear,
the over-cultivated eye, the hyper
critical taste which hca'i sees nnd
recognizes flaws In eveiy thing, which
has lost the Joy of enthusiasm; but
there Is n richer strain In the mere
fact of living, a dally renewed zest
that will recompense all loss, for there
Is a law of compensation which works
In the ratio of giving and receiving.
What wo send forth In the way of
thoughts, words, deeds, returns to us
In kind.
In meditating on the truth of this
Indexible law we cannot but be struck
with an awed sense of the responsibil
ity we assume presuming to sit In
judgment on the other mortals In our
vicinity, and to estlmnte the gradations
in bhicKness of their own particular
sins or errors. How do we know that
In the eyes of One who ever weighs
these mntters from tho serene height
of Infallible justiee, tho little "white"
lie we told yesterday may not bo as
dark a blot on Ihe page of all records
as the hateful sin of another, at the
name of which we shrink In horror?
How do we know that tho bitter
grudge we have held for years against
one who has wronged us mny not
leave ns deep a scar on the fair face of
the fouI ns did some net of another's
which In our eyes was shameful? What
a precious comfort It Is that we are
not expected, with our limited, one
sided point of view, to make an Irre
vocable decision ns to the grade of
other people's fallings In the scale of
immortality. Saucy Bess.
MUSICAL GOSSIP.
The second concert of the course pre
sented by tho Conservatory will be
given bv Mr. Ernest Gamble, a bnsso
of European fame, nnd Miss Miuda
nihil, pianist, from London, on Tues
day "veiling, Dec. r,. It Is confidently
expected that the grc.it success of tho
Oodowsky concert v III be repeated at
this time, for these artists come to us
with tho highest recommendations.
Miss Katharine Tlmhermnn.of tho Con
servatory, a warm friend and admirer
of Gamble, says of lilm: "He Is un
doubtedly one of the finest soloists now
upon tho concert platform. He was a
great favorite in London when I was
there, and during the succeeding yoirs
ho has had nn Increasingly brilliant
career. He has a voice of great volume
and compass, which Is oxcpedlngly flex
ible and highly cultivated. His havl-nr
been chosen soloist at Trinity church,
Now York, is one of the many Indica
tions of his merits as a thorough
muslrlnn."
MIs Maude nihil, who comes with
Mr. Gamble, Is an exponpnt of tho
famous Lesehetltzky of Vienna (the
teacher of Paderewskl), with whom sbo
studied three years after taklisr all tli
honors at the Royal Academy. London
Tho playing of this beautiful young
artist Is highly spoken of by both PattI
nnd Molba, with each of whom sho has
toured. Her engagement for Sernnton
with the famous basso ensures n con
cert of the highest merit and alto of
pleasing variety.

Max K Abbe, 25 Cortland St., New York City, writes:
" About two years ago I noticed that nervous symptoms had commenced to
trouble me. I decided to try Paine's Celery Compound, and after using several bottles I
noticed that the greater part of my nervousness had disappeared, my thoughts had become
clearer, I did not pass any more sleepless nights, and I felt as young as I did ten years
ago, without having to stop my smoking."
Overwork, worry, or business cares wear upon the nerves, the vitality of the sys

Maine's Celery Compound sustains vitality, keeps the

HIGH SCHOOL GOSSIP.
The question of a class pin for tho
graduating class of 1900 Is exciting
much Interest. Several meetings havu
been held and yet no permanent pin
has been decided on. Many of the
boys who are opposed to the ti langular
shape pin on the ground that It re
sembles that of a secret organization
In too many respects, nro opposed by
a certain few who are In favor of It.
The "scrub" will play the eleven of
the Dunmore High School again to
day. This game will undoubtedly be
as successfully played us the one a
I few weeks ago. The line up Is espo
i daily strong and the players In excel
' lent condition for the fray. The score
at the last game was 10 to 0 in favor
of tho "scrub."
Yesterday the unwelcome missives
telling the patents that the pupils hav
made below seventy left tho office.
Ma,ny of the pupils who received these
letters will return Monday resolved
In mind to commence the now month
In fine style nnd continue to do good
work.' Alio numuer of letters sent from
the Latin classes Is considerably lower
than that of last month.
One of the most enthusiastic de
monstrations which has been caused
by the victory over any opponent took
plnce when the victorious old gold and
bluo banner was carried to tho plat
form on Thursday morning. Mr. San
tee, of the freshman class, was the
standard bearer.
Tho game Wednesday between High
School and St. Thomas college proved
to be the best played at Athlotio park
this season. Tho surprlso of many of
the persons was extremely great when
It was learned that the High school
won the game. Xearly every one
thought It was well nigh Impossible
for so light a team as tho High school
has, compared to that of St. Thomas,
to for one moment hope for victory.
But theydld and so fine was the lino
bucking and end runs that they placed
tho ball near the goal of their oppon
ents. Here Tropp made a successful
drop kick. The game was a fine speci
men of strength and weight opposed
to skill and It proved that tho latter
generally come off as vlotors,
Tropp again distinguished himself by
his fine playing on Wednesday. Ho
was almost completely discouraged
with the way he was treated for his
bad playing on Saturday last. It la
said that he was oven on the point of
CTH
POUND
resigning his position as quarter back.
But Wednesday he so completely wiped
out tho disjracp, If there was any, by
the way .n whhh he tackled and by
the way he kicked the drop and place
kicks that he has again risen In the
estimation of every player on tho team
and every pupil In tho school.
The school paper "Impressions," will
be on sale Monday at the close of tho
session. This edition will far exceed
the one of last month, as the editor
has endeavored and succeeded In col
lecting an abundance of material. But
what will be tho use of tho editor In
trying to make the paper a completo
success If ho Is not assisted by tha
students? A new interest In tho pu
pils toward the paper should be awak
ened and by doing so tho paper can
be made one of the best In this state.

'A Manila correspondent of Coltler'a
Weekly tells this characteristic Inci
dent of Brigadier General Frederick
Funston, the Kansas whirlwind?
Funston has a right to bo proud oj
his promotion in that thero js noth
ing political nbout It. General Otis Js
exceedingly fond of him, and recom
mended him purely out of iccognltlon,
for his spirit and valor. On tho samo
day that tho little colonel, who always
wanted to swim In a stream when ho
saw a Filipino on the other side of It,
was notified that he was to be a briga
dier, ho was wounded In the hand.
When ho went to report to General
Otis for duty In his new rank his arm
was In a sling.
"Well, I was going to nsslsn you Im
mediately," ho said, "but now I thinld
I'll have a medical board report on
that wound of yours flist."
With tho duo formality which tho
general respects In all things, a boardi
was called, and the board, gravely no-
tilled Major General Otis that It
Brigadier General Funston were- to ex
pose himself to the hardship cf nctlva
campaigning boforo hla wound honied
there was danger of blood poisoning.
"Confound It, but I was a big fool
to wear that sling," Funston said,, "l
might have known that It would gat
me Into trouble,' .,
