invoked it will in time almost cure an

chilblains and nerves, must court its bless

bath On getting out OF bed the teeth ought
to be brushed in a cup of cold water and
the throat repeatedly gargled. Then it is
wise to drink half glass of the fldid, or as
much as can be taken with comparative
relish. The bath ought then to follow in a
room where the temperature Is equable, but
distinctly fresh and before touching water a
few calcsthenic exercises should be taken.

GOLD VASE ron Mrs. MNINLrY.
Beautiful Mark OF Affection from TIL,
Women of HrDoI.INn,


Women of BrooISIyn.
Mrs William Mckinley wife of the presi-
dent-eleCt, will soon be the recipient of a
mark Of affection from the women of Brook
lyn in the shape of a solid gold vase. The
date of this presentation has rot as yet been
fixed, but will be as soon as Mrs MCKineys
physical condition warrants. The givers OF
this handsome piece of the goldsmith's art,
says the Brooklyn Eagle. are the members
of the Brooklyn Woman's Republican Union
league, which was organized during the re-
cent campaign for the purpose of helping
the candidates on the national republican
ticket. Mrs Virginia Chandler Titcomb is
president of the league and the success
of its efforts are largely due to her influence
and wide acquaintance among the women of
Brooklyn. The committee in whose hands
the arrangements for the procuring OF the
vase and its presentation to Mrs. Mckinley
| was left is composed of Mrs. Charles Pei
| ton Abbey, chairman; Mrs, William Berri,
| Mrs. Charles II. Wnslow, Mrs. Timothy l..
! Woodruff, Mrs. Calvin Il. Hull, Miss Simis
| and Mrs. Titcomb, eX-ofiCio. The vase was
| shown at a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the league the other night. 1t is
a beautiful work of art, its simple lines with
richness of color making any but the plain
est of ornamentation superluous.
The vase is of solid gold and stands twelve
inches high. The bowl is heart-shaped, with
crescent tor and with frosted finish. 1t
rests on . polished scroll base and the orna-
mentation of the handle carries out the set
form of work that joins 1t to the bowl. On
one side of the bowl is engraved:
The Womans Republican league OF
| Brooklyn presents this token of esteem and
affection"
On the other side:
ITO Mrs. William Mckinley, whose pa
ticnce and nobility of character have touched
the heart of American wOmanhOod.
November g. 1896"
The mold from which IT was cast has been
destroyed but Mrs. Titcomb will make
painting of it for the rocms of the womans
league.
Beside the members of the vase commit
tee it is expected that a large delegation
from tho league will visit Canton when the
gift is presented. and efforts will be made to
give the occasion special Importance with
view of encouraging the formation of similar
leagues throughout the country.
At a meeting of the league at the rooms of
the Young Republican club in the johnson
building the executive committee reported
its program of action for the coming year.
| This includes the enlargement of member
ship and course of study in political eccn-
omy. with papers to be read at the monthly
meetings, on the first Tuesday of each
month, on various phases of American po-
ltiCal history These papers will be CON
tributed by members of the league and men
ana women of prominence throughout the
country. 1t is not intended to hold debates,
but rather to give the women of Brooklyn
an opportunity to become familiar with the
great questions OF the country from its
foundation to the present time.
