Mrs. Cornelia Squires was reelected president; Kate l.. Futile, secretary; Mrs. F. B. Orcutt, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. A. N. Vibberts, treasurer.
 Arrangements are about completed for a three-corner debate on the politi- cal questions of the day, to take place in Memorial hall on Thursday evening, October 29. MT. E. l.. Lindsley will speak for the republican side, MT. J. B. Bishop for the silver side, and Mrs. F. c. Bradley for the prohibitionists. A prophet is not without honor save in his own country, but this promises to be something worth coming out to hear. Everybody welcome. Pack the hall.

1t Banished Her Wrinkles.

A woman who has had her wrinkles
banished by the physical culture process
tells how it WV dope. The system Is as
follows:
First Course. --Smilo as broadly as pos
sible, place three fingers on the punched
up part of the cheek; then allow the fea-
lures to relax suddenly, s,ising the fingers
at the same time. The fingers should be
placed high on tho cheek bone so that the
muscles, when smiling, will push against
them. giving the desired resistance neces-
sary to the enlargement of the tissues.
Repeat this process until tired.
Second Course.-Smile broadly again,
but this time, instead of allowing the cor
ners of the mouth to be curved upward,
try to draw them in straight line toward
the center of the cheeks; then place the
two thumbs on each corner of the mouth
and work the corners backward and for
ward by relaxing and contracting the
mouth.
Third Course. Press the lower lip up
ward, and it will be seen that the chin
will be raised and become hard; crook the
forennger so as to make u half circle and
put it over the point of the chin, pressing
it against the latter as it rises and relaxing
the pressure instantly as it assumes the
normal position. In this exercise the teeth
should be kept closed.
These exercises are designed not only to
do away with wrinkles that have appeared,
but to prevent their inroads as long as
possible Chicago Times Herald.

The operation of casting u bell Is most
interesting one The flask whcreon and
wherein the mold Is made consists of two
parts constructed of boiler iron Of gen
eral bell form and plontfully perforated
with holes for escaping gas while casting,
one being so much less in size than It's fell
low as to give space for the loan forming
around the mold between the two. No
pattern, rs tho term Is generally used,
is provided. The two parts of the mold
are "swept" by formers accurately
finished from thin iron to the form intend
ed for the inner and outer surfaces of the
bell. These formers are mouptod and
rotated over the applied loan. Five courses
of loan and clay are successfully applied,
"swept' and baked to complete each
mold. Before this work is done, however,
the inner flask Is wound near the top with
rope made of hay. AS the shrinkage is
very great as the castings cool, difficulty
would be met with in getting the flask
and loan out of tho nearly parallel inside
top. This "piDoh" is obviated by using
this dostruotible base, which permits the
collapse of the loan after the heat of the
metal has consumed the hay.
The five courses laid on the TASKS are:

PhysiOgnomy of Man.

Mr. Phil Morris experiences have led
him TO the conclusion that symmetrical
faces are very few and far between The
sides of the average face, he declares, are
unequal, and ono eye frequently goes up
while the other is half closed. Often the
nose is not straight, and many people have
habit of looking as if they were asleep.
The distinguished Royal academy associ-
ate has been giving some account of the
troubles and veXatiOns which come of por-
trait painting. There is a touch of disap-
pointment, he says, when folk see their
own portraits or those of their friends on
canvas for the first time. Once he was en-
gagged in painting "A lady who had just be-
come a grandmother, and he had treated
very dClicately the ravages which time
had made. Rhe lady's husband brought
him another portrait, which had been
painted 20 years before, and having eX-
pressed some slight surprise at the now
picture, pointed to the old ono and said
that was how he saw his wife. Nearly
all ladies declare they don't want to be
tlattered, but the artist who takes them at
their word does so at his peril.
According to Mr.. Morris, artists who
devote themselves to portrait painting are
influenced not by mere vision, but by n
certain preconccived idea rs to how they
may treat n face. The late Mr. Frank
Holl, he says, had book-Lavater's
physiognomy containing pictures of
human types like hawks foxes and other
creatures and when he was about to paint
portrait he used to try to find out which
one of these animals or birds the sitter
most resembled. For instance, he would
enlarge the ears of fox hunter, and, by
accentuating the features, paint most re-
markable likeness. 1t is advisable in Mr.
Morris opinion, to let a sitter watch the
progress of his portrait If this is DONE
the artist can tell by the look of disappoint-
ment on the stters face when, in his esti
nation, there is anything wrong. Moro
over, by this means more interest Is lent
to the task Of sitting. 1t appears that one
of the reasons the queen allows herself to
be painted so often by Herr Angel is that
she can see the work in progress. some
artists, unlike the Austrian painter, are
martyrs TO nervousness, and decline to nj
low the sitter to see the portrait before II
is comuleted. London News.

Talk at the Table.

Talking Is one of the best of all recrea-
tiOns, and the woman who understands
the art possesses most useful and enjoy
able accomplishment. No dinner table is
well appointed without good takers, and
the basis of interesting conversation is
reality. After u course of London dinners
Sir Walter Scott said: "Tho bishops and
the lawyers talked b tier than the Wits
that Is, tho wits talked for the sake of
talking, and the church and the law had
something to talk about. Yet specialties
and hobbies are not admissible at n dinner
table, and Il woman who can only talk of
her own lad has no business in society.
She ought to write II pamphlet or go on
the lecture platform, for any conversation
at the dinner table that is II strain on the
attention or patience soon becomes bore
Indeed one of the chief clements of pleas
ant company is readiness to talk or to be
talked to on any rational subject.
The most charming takers let a bright
listener see their thoughts in formation,
for talk that has been prepared has ready
made Gatncss. 1t is the acrated thought
of the moment that has the sparkle, and II
good talkcr finds the right word by in
stinct, as n clever horse on bad road al
ways puts his foot in the right place.
This fact makes the good talker also n
good listener, because her best conversation
will follow brightly and instantly the
lead that others give it, and it prevents
likewise the worst of all conversational

The HOUSEHOLD.
A Turkish Room.

Upon the finely polished hard wood floor
was largo Turkish rug of silk mohair
in predominating colors of deep red and
blue. A table in tho center of the room,
with cover in danask in Turkish designs,
bore massive jar filed with red and yell
low chrysanthemums, and here Il curious
ly carved censor burned sweet incense.
The feature was the oanopicd couch up.
on raised platform at one side of the
room. Tho couch, of fine damask, is lux
uriously supplied with silken cushions.
Tho bagdad forming the background for
the couch also furnishes the canopy which
is at the corners upheld by massive spears.
At the head of this couch stands carved
figure in ebony and gold, and from one of
the spears hangs o jeweled lantern
In another corner of the room is "a coy
corner. The couch of bronze velours is well
supplied with cushions in exquisite tones
of silk and white Turkish Grape forms the
background and the canopy above.
Throughout the room are placed Turkish
divans in richest velours, while beside
them stand tabourets inlaid with pearl
upon which are quaint vases filled with
delicious perfume. A reclining couch in
old gold, dull blues and reds, with cush-
ions galore, is neither chair nor couch, but
an oriental luxury, rarely found out of
that land.
Upon the walls are pictures of the orient,
and everywhere the attention is called to
the collection of rare oriental bric-a- brac.
The room is lighted from above with q
jeweled centerpiece, while quaint lamps
are hung at artistic points. The sensuous
air was delicately set to music by the
@olian harp. The three entrances to this
room are hung with Turkish Grape draped
picturesquely with golden rings.
This is said to be the most perfect Turk
ish room to be found in Boston. In New
York there is one similar, but not so elab-
crate. Boston Advertiser.
