The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-09-10

ances of the soldiers and the sailors
is still more pronounced, In favor of
the bronzed faces, health and good
spirits of the jackies.
The Kings Daughters of Elm Park
church held a reunion at the rooms
last evening when greetings were ex-
changed between the members return-
ed from their vacations. An excellent
programme was rendered.
Last Saturday" says q. NJ. Hall
stead, was the biggest day for pas
enger traffic ever known on the Del
aware, Lackawanna and wetern rail-
road. An enormous amount of baggage
was shipped both ways and 1t was
found necessary to send out one train
with eleven passenger coaches, Just
what was the occasion of this Journey
ing to and fro upon the earth seems
to puzzle the officials as there were
about as many going to New York as
coming away. 1t was the women with
their vast and multitudnous trunks
that almost delayed proceedings dur
ing the dreadfully hot day.
"A few days ago something was said
in The Tribune columns regarding the
possibility of curing even most obsti-
nate facial bemishes by careful treat
ment at the hands of an expert young
woman of this city. The writer has
been besieged with inquiries regard
ing the person alluded to, terms etc.
The address will be gladly given to
any one who may care to write to the
writer of this column, at this office as
to the terms. They are reasonable,
yet almost impossible to define except
in individual cases as the methods
differ so greatly in various people For
instance a subject badly disfgured by
irruptions must take a longer time to
cure than the one simply annoyed by
liver spots and moth patches. The
latter being removed in three or four
treatments. Working out scars from
the face is a more elaborate process
than filling up hollow cheeks. Much
depends on the excellence of the skin
food used There is no need of having
bony, skinny neck and throat, Of
enduring heavy lines at the side of the
mouth, or of having ugly scrawny
hands, but Improvement means time
and patient care. 1t is too true that
beauty is not for many of us just be-
cause We think we cannot afford this
time and patience.
Yes, there are many things vastly
more important than giving consistent
attendance to ones personal appear
ance. 1t is better to do kind deeds
for others, to chase every solitary fly
who happens to stray into the house,
n Ntsith
determination as if it were the traces
of the Foul Fiend himself. to make
flannel shirts for the heather, to i'm
prove ones vocabulary and descrip-
tive powers by talking about ones
acquaintance or enemies, but then a
preservation of ones beauty would not
be undesirable even when engaging in
these necessary pursuits. 1t may be
sinful but it is certainly very popular
to try to look as we'll as we can.
The other day Mr.. Florey, of the
firm of Florey & Brooks. distributed a
quantity of picture cards and con-
ceived the idea of asking all the small
boys who appeared to write their
names as a qualification for receiving
the coveted gifts. Those who appeared
were chiefly from the poorest classes
and included all nationalities to be
found in this cosmopolitan town. The
noteworthy result was that from the
number of 225 but seven were unable
to write their names. One enterpris-
ing little fellow came with a slip of
papers the characters on which. writ
ten by some friend. he laboriously cop
led. card was not denied him. The
children were chiefly American born.
