THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1900. m octal flM ANY LADIES who remained In the city during the sweltering weather of the past week hnvo felt compensated by the visit of Madame Do Oollere Daven port and the amount of benefit and advice received from her. It Is prob I able that not oven Mrs. Horer, who v turned the city, Its pots, pan, groceries, t.-occrymen, etcetra, topsy-turvy, created such a decided furore as has this well known npostlo of health and beauty. People often know very well. Indeed, how to take care ot themselves and preserve their youth, but they are prone to put off the day of rcfoim un less somebody comes nlong to stir them up. No one has over evinced such possibilities of "stirring" In this vicinity as the lady In tiestlon and the secret Is probably her sincerity and her complete knowledge of the subject treated. The Bieat difficulty with Scranton women Is their Industrious jmrsult of fads by spasms. They are not Indo lent, but they are easily diverted fiom a purpose anil the occupation or amusement or exercise which today absorbs every thought and aim will next week be abandoned for some thing new. It means work, and hard work, to follow out the pilnclples ad vocated In this system. It means methodical arrangement of the day and so practicable and sensible nre the suggestions that no woman who fol lows the prescribed rules can fall to see herself rapidly transformed in feeling as well as appearance. It Is certainly worth the effort. Another class In physical training Is to be formed. A mellmlnary talk will be given by Madame Davenport at the Jerniyn Monday morning at 10 o'clock, to which all Interested In the logical development of the body and the corresponding grace of appearance are invited by the ladles In charge. Deputy Attorney General Fleitz re turned from llnrrlsburg yesterday.

The Illustrations by W. 11. Leigh after the author's own sketches are marveloiuly graphic. "The Jay-Ilawkcrs," Mrs. Adela K. Orpcn's forthcoming romance, deals with a theme so stirring and full of interest that Its neglect by writers of fiction seems suiprlsing.

Julia Marlowe has written the following letter to the Philadelphia Presss: "My attention ha been called to the following paragraph, which has been going the rounds of the press: 'Julia Marlowe Is emoted as having said recently to one of her friends: "I am going to make a change. I am under contract to present 'When Knighthood Was In Flower, and I shall give this play next season. After that I am going to play jour 'Saphos,' jour 'Zazas,' and jour 'Ileeky Slurp.' Whj? Simply because I am tired of the goodj -goody dramas, and I want tu make a change. I want a different public. My public has been very generous, and I hope that I have not been ungrateful, but I long to attract those who arc not governed merely by beautiful sentiment, but who know life and do not hesi tate to see it represented truthfully rather than Ideally on the stage," I am utlerlv at a los to imagine the source from which this lias ema nated, as I would be the last prison to give expression to such Ideas as are hue attributed to me. I have no intention or desire to change the general policy of my productions, the pur suance of which lias won me the support, and, I hope, the respect of the I heater-goers of America My intention is rather to present the higher forms of the classic and poetic drami, as far a the public will support me In such presenta tions, than to enter a Held In which I have never sought recognition, Furthermoic. 1 am not tempted to such a change of policy by finan cial considerations, as 1 believe that 1 can safely 6ay that my earnings have been greater on the whole than they would have been had I pursued a different policy. I believe also that I mav find ample opportunity for the presentation of those things that are truest in life as well as all that is most beautiful in art, in the plays with which my namolias been associated, and I wish to assure those who are interested In my work that my future production will be made with the best hope, and highest purpose of the litis U view." -fl i 9 Vd t 4&: ! HER POINT OF VIEW "I've been fnt-headed enough to be lieve tlmt I untlcrstooel women pretty thoroughly," remnrkeel a prominent reshlcnt of this city yesterday. "Hut I've decided tlmt I'm an old fool. For Instnncc, amonR my delusions was that it woman docfin't worry much nbout her own pcisonnl appearance when she linn been mnrrlcd a good many yenta unci linn grown-up children. Then I've held to the belief that no woman, how ever saintly, If she la told something that will benefit her and which most) of the other women don't know, Is go ing to confide It to them so that they can have ccjual advantages?" "Well, I (should say you were a dunce," Inter polated n plain-spoken woman ac quaintance. "Goodness me, don't' you know that we nic so delighted to bo the Ilrst to tell a new toilet fad or a cure for ihcumntlsm that we'd give It to our bitterest' enemy?" The man stared nt her wonderlngly and then remarked, "That certainly Is queer and I don't mote than half believe It yet. Do you suppose a woman who was balil-headed and found out a remedy would tell other bald-headed women so that they could look nn well as she with a new growth of hair? Not a bit of It." And then he con tinued while his listener looked too disgusted for words; "Now, there's my wife. She's fifty years old If whe's a day, although I don't know yet her exact age. There may be- men who think they know their wives' ages, but they'll- Just as gibbering Idiots as I've been. Well, this morning what do you suppose? 1 was deeping beautifully when sudden ly I dreamed that n stiect car had gotie- cut the track nnd had walked up our fiont steps Into the hall and run over my feel'. I awoke Just In time to see that womnn tuill over the font of the bed like a pte-mlllenlallte and (,-' ket flump on the Hour. She hnd used my feet as a springboard Is the- way I figure It out. and she Innded so solid tlvt t''e cook came upstalis and said there hnd been some kind of an eatthquake In the dining-room. Sly wife weighs LS0 with her shoes on, and J'ou know they say a woman weighs from eight to ten times ns much with them off. Did you ever hear yourself walk th Unor In your bare feet? I'll bet a hat you shake the entire house. W-ell. whatever she was trying to do she was like Dallas Hreen and his lljlng machine when she came to alight. I w.is so scared that I kept still to see what she would do next. I'll glc- you my word for It she tiled to turn a cait wheel, such as I did when I was a kid. My wife, fifty years old if flhcj Is a day! She couldn't do It and took a header Into the sofa. Then she did a soit of cake walk on her toes and thon a kind of dizzy perfoimanee like a ballot dancer or u whirling Der vish In the Midway, and my wife isn't now proportioned for ballet dancing, whatever she may be in another world. Then but really I don't expect you to believe this but my wife, llfty If she Is a day, tried to kick the chandelier. I simply couldn't stand such lunatic proceedings any longer and I yelled, "Mary Jane, what under heaven Is the matter with you, and what do you think will become of me and the chil dren If you disgrace us?" And then I tiled to calm her clown and get her Into a frame of mind where I could reason with her. Well, do you know she wasn't excited at all. She was as cool and calm as I am this minute a sight cooler. She Just remarked very sweetly, "Oh, John, you awake? I was Just doing my exercises." Think of It! Fifty years old If she is a day doing "exercises," nnd of that kind, too! All the exercises a woman of that age needs Is to wnlk more and hustle around the kitchen. Then this aggrieved specimen ot mankind proceeded: "I shouldn't so much mind It If you women wanted to start on some new fad, under the hal lucination that you nre Improving yourselves. I shouldn't care If you wanted to use curry combs and scrub bing brushes on your own visages, or If you wanted to eat snails, or glass, or any other confounded thing. What I do kick about, and most emphatlc all Is the way you will persist In making everybody else under the same roof follow your fads. "Now, I don't care a rap about my complexion. Indeed, I think It Is rather good. ('Of course,' ejaculated, sotto oce, the woman who listened, 'What man ever thought ho could be impioved upon In any way?') If my wife think;', nt her age, a diet of cow feed will re new her youth, she has mj1 permission to try It, and I'll pay the doctor's bills that are sure to ensue, but I don't propose to eat a raw carrot every motulug before bieakfast. No, mn'atn, not on your life! She hasn't any right to try her loony expeilinents on me. And what do you suppose happened when I ilatly refused to eat raw car rot grated up In a horribly unhealthy looking mass? Why, she cried am de clared that I never was sympathetic, nnd never did get Interested la any thing that she did, and that she want'd to preserve my health and keep me young! Great Scott!" And here the speaker walked excitedly up and down the room, while the woman who list ened wondered whether they would cnll the ambulance It she fell Into a convulsion, because of the suppression of merriment. "I leave It to you. Must I eat such stuff, simply because some body tells my wife it is good for the health? I've lived to be llfty-llvo years old without having to subsist on raw carrots, and I don't mean to begin now. "Hut that Isn't nil," ho walled. "Yes terday 1 sent up some nice fresh cucumbers for lunch. I expected to see them sliced thin, with cracked Ice. I didn't see them. I asked wherefore. I w-as Informed that my wife and the iirls and her sister hnd used them In washing their faces. 'Hut,' I declared, '1 wanted them for lunch,' and my wife In the best posslblo humor assured me that they were a gieat deal better out side of a person than In, and she had saved part of one to rub on my face, A Skin of tlonuty la a Joy Forover. iic i. rra.uv uocnauii's iiicir.aTAl, l HE All, Ull J1AI.ISJA1.

Morning Dresses, Piques, Linens, Dotted Swiss Muslins, Driving Cloaks, Foulards, Chiffon and Lace Dresses, Mull Hats. Special Concspondrnce of The Tribune. Saratoga, July IX An effort at display marks the hrgcr proportion of Siratoga habitues, and that together with the number of eccentric IndU victuals In quest of health or pleasure afford con. slant entertainment and amusement. Morning dresses are often by no moans simple affairs. In dicating to some client however the refinement of the wearer. l'lcjues, both white or colored are n useful that nothing displaces them; then come Hie fancv piques and linens, tan, bine or crimson, moh.ilr suits, dotted foulards, and final ly independent skirts and hlrt waists, the lat ter being usually verj hand'onie clusters of tucks between embroideij-, hemstitching at either side, or the "all over" embroider)', to saj- noth ing of every innglnahlo variety of silk waist. Dorrni) Swiss muslin (either colmed or white) Is quite a fa vorite for any hour of the cliy, and trimmed with lice, piped with narrow black velvet, makes an unobtrusive jet stylish costume. Mercerl.ed linen is vers- handsome, and one worn by a ( hleago belle had three stitched folds around the hips in )oke effect, and lengthwise tucks stitched at each side. n I'.ton ticket with sailor col lar and cuffs of Oriental silk and binds of in sertion, gavo the necessary finish. The rage for black velvet will probably last through the sea son, and nine out of ten femlnims sport narrow velvet tics or collars, and asualy they are very becoming. DlllVIN'd AND ni'ST n.OKS while very expensive, are not prettj- made of black, blue or tan line n, kha-kl, or very fine burlap, in lhnplre stjle, the fullness below- the shoulders being arranged in tucks or plaits, of trnllmes with several folds or capes tilting closelj around the shoulders, below- a small linen lice sailor collar. The front Is usinlly finis! ed by an Oriental sill; liandkerclili f giaecfully knotted vvlure these several fi Ids converge; al though black and white plalded silk Is often substituted for lh. Oilent.il, and a narrow- silk bolder miy be stitched on the edge of the lower fold. Occ aslomllv one of th"sp cloiks is verj cliboritely trimmed, having lace strain at each side of the front, and a loll of l.ice is around a singe cape eollai, with linen and laco straps over the roll, about two Inches apait, with a bunching of laee at the front. P.VKI1V lW-IIIOXIST has at lrast one blue foulard llk clnss trimmed with while or eciu l.ue, having for the ni"st pait .1 deep plaited, on clieular flounce, the ovuskirt eut in squires, points or m.iIIo, and attached firmly to the flounce. The joke cPect is all perviding and a white satin cni-h belt, gives additional lightness to these charming cos. tumes.

The late bishop of Wakefield was n remarkable man in many ways, distin guished alike for deep, earnest piety, unfailing cheerfulness nnd a stiong sense of humor, and possessing to a. marked degree the rare gift of gain ing the love and esteem of his Hock. He loved to hear a good story, and throughout his life made It a practice to enter the most nmusing Incidents and anecdotes of his experience In a notebook. The bulk of the nnecdotes relate to persons connected with the church, whether bishops, vlcais, cur ates or humble vergers, but they nre none the less amusing on that account. Many of them center around Whlttlng ton, the Shropshire parish of which tho bishop was rector from 1S5I to 1879, and of which his parlshloneis ho has several quaint stories. For Instance: "The following words are given ver batim ns spoken by nn old woman In the parish on the occasion of my llrt visit soon after I became lector: 'The old man nnd mo never go to bed, sir, without singing the evening hymn. Not that I havo got any voice left, for I haven't, and ns for him, he's like a bee In nbottle; nnd then he don't hu mor the tune, for he don't rightly know one tuno from another, and ho can't remember the woids neither; so when he leaves out a word I puts It In, and when I can't sing I dances, and so we get through It somehow.' " Here Is another good story: "A womnn In a small Welsh firm house Whlttlngton Is on tho border of Wales being taken very HI, a neigh bor went for the clergyman, who said ho would como dliectly. The neighbor, going back to the farm house, said they hnd better get out a nible, as the parson might nsk for one. Thu farmer thereupon told the woman sho would find one, ho thought, at tho bottom or JONAS LONG'S SONS. II 2(i Today, Saturday, for Women's Shoes.

Hut his curates and clerical friends are responsible for even more droll stories than the laity provided during his rectorship, one of which deserves quoting; "The first time that Archdeacon Wickham visited this deanery as arch deacon I drove him to a parsonage, where the Incumbent Insisted upon his Inspecting everything. In the garden Is a little pool, and over this pond we beheld a strange erection of posts and planks, with a sort of saddlellko seat on the top. On the archdeacon asking the Incumbent what It was, he ex claimed with great delight that It was a capital contrivance by which you could take exeiclse and make yourself useful by pumping water to the church, where he had Just been building a transept. So, saying that he would show us, ho clambered up, sat down on a saddle smiling and began to work the tieadles eagerly. Unfortunately, however, the woik at tho church hav ing been .lust ilnlahed, the pipe which had conveyed the water to tho work men had been cut off Just above the surface of the water. The consequence was that he Immediately produced u Jet of water which shot straight up ward and almost lifted him off his seat, entirely upsetting the archdeaconal gravity. As we returned to the house the Incumbent begged tho archdeacon to go Into the back yard nnd smell the pump, which, he said, stunk hor ribly. Tho archdeacon protested that he had no authority over pumps, but ho would take no denial, and when he got into the back yard he said: 'Now, Mr. Archdeacon, if you will put your nose to tho spout, I will pump.' Tho aich deacon was, howover, quite equal to tho occasion, and salrt: 'No, I depute the rurat dean to put his noso to the spout, and I will receive his report, and. If needed, pronounce an ecclesias tical censure." A Voikshlre clergyman, wo nre told, had to pay dearly for his good naturo In taking an Incumbent's place at short notice and preaching a borrowed ser mon. "A fitiy, nervous clergyman near Hradford was nbout to help a friend by reading the prayeis when a mess age camo to say that a neighboring In cumbent was taken ill nnd to ask for help. The rector could not go, so the f i lend had to bo sent, but having no sermon with him, he borrowed ono from the lector, who wrote a clear, good hand. Ho selected one well .written, JONAS LONQ'S SONS. Today, Saturday for NEWEST BOOKS, Sold All Over for $1.50 if of which the subject was 'The Valito of Time,' and meant to read It over on tho t , but eventually did not llko to do s, as he rat besldo a servant who drove him over. So It happened that he hnd to read It for the first tlmo In the pulpit. He got on very well un til hu came to a sentenco saying that ns the parish possessed no church clock, it was his Intention to present one. Ha was too nervous to omit tno sentence, and I was assured at Brad ford that ho did actuallly present tho promised clock, which cost 70." Here are other Yorkshire stories la which the comic Is mixed with the pa thetic: "A Yorkshire clergyman the other dny, visiting a poor man who had Just lost his little boy, endeavored to con solo him. Tho poor man, burst Into tears, and In tho midst of his sobs ex claimed: 'If 'twarna ng'ln flaw A' should hn' liked to havo t'littlo beggan stoofed.' "A clergyman visiting a dying man observed him putting his hand out ot the bed nnd eating something from time to time, so ho said ho was glad to see ha could eat a little, when tho man with a funny look, said: 'They'ro my funeral biscuits. The missus went to tho town nnd bought them, and: she's out today, and I'm eating them.' " THE ISOLATES OP ENGLAND.
