LIVING STATUES.

No more int resting way OF spending
an evening, or more successful means of
making money for church or charitable
purposes, can be found than in this de-
lightful pastime, which has been Justly
considered very difficult of execution.
The simple processes which have long
been kept secret are now given to the
public for the first time, and if carefully
followed by persons of taste and judy
ment, these plain directions will enable
them to almost rival classic marbles.
The actors must, of course, be grace
full, and also have clear conception of
the sentiment OF their parts, as the ex-
preston of face often shows through
the powder which covers it.
After long trial of many articles for
whitening the face, nothing is found SUI
perior to the velvet chalk which, packed
in square boxes, has the size and shape
of ball two inches in diameter, and is
sold for ten cents by all druggists. No
gelatine or other substance is used upon
the face before applying the chalk.
which must afterward be rubbed off
dry, and then a coat of cold cream or
any lubricating substance will prevent
any future roughness.
MODELS.
The best cast for most performances
is four ladies; one of them very tall,
one short, and two of medium height,
one large. muscular man, and one girl
about ten years old. These performers
can fill all the parts. as they resemble
each other so closely when whitened
that little is gained by substituting
others for the various groups.
The man wears suit of cotton tights,
with cotton gloves sewed on the sleeves,
killed skirt of cotton flannel reaching
to the knee and skull-cap of the same
material. Two cotton sheets will be
needed for his drapery; a hole is ripped
in the middle of one, through which
his head is thrust. The corner of the
sheet is brought to the front. and the
sides Topped up to the shoulders, thus
forming Roman toga.
The child wears plain night-dress.
the waist being bound by a tape over
which the dress is allowed to fall until
it takes up enough to only reach the
knees. Cotton gloves are sewed into
the sleeves. and tight cap made of
cotton flannel covers the head.
The ladies wear tight white cotton
waists high in the neck, the sleeves be-
ing made of the legs of cotton stockings
with cotton gloves sewed firmly into
them after they have been tightly fitted
to the arms.
The caps are made of cotton cloth
and braids; bands and waves are made
of cotton wadding to change the couture
when needful.
DRAPING.
In draping the first sheet is tied
around the waist over a tape to form a
scant skirt of the lower or inner half of
the sheet. the hem OF which touchesthe
floor The lie t-hand corner of the front
half of this sheet is then fastened to the
right shoulder. and the other corner IS
then also brought up in front, and the
end carried to- the back and fastened at
the waist. A large knot is then tied in

THE SONG OF THE ADVERTISER.

lam an advertiser great!
In letters bold and big and round
The praises of my wares sound
Prosperity is my estate.
The people come,
The people 70
In one continuous,
Surging flow
They buy my goods and come again,
And PT che hap lest of men;
And this the reason l relate:
! am an advertiser great!
There is q shop across the way
Where nee is heard q human tread
Where trade is paralyzed and dead
With ne'er u customer day.
The reOple come.
The people go
But never there
They do not know
There's such shop beneath the skies,
Because he does not advertise;
While with pleasure contemplate
That I'm an advertiser great.
The secret of my fortune lies
In one small fact, which. may state,
Too many tradesmen learn too late:
If have goods. advertise!
Tim people come
And people go
In constant streams,
For people know
That he who has good wares to sell
Will surely advertise them well;
And proudly reiterate
am an advertiser great!
