BLIND MArTIE's TALKING GLOVE.

she sits and waits she talks to herself
and often kisses the simple little cotton
thing, her key to everything about her.
Blind Mattie's story is remarkable.
She was born healthy and perfect, and
until she reached her eighth year
showed no signs of disease or deform-
ity.
Whep she was eight years old her
brother died, and she was dreadfully
shocked by the event One day she en-
tered a vacant room in her home in
Newark and there imagined she saw her
dead brother, and that he said to her:
Matte, where's pa?"
The sound of his voice struck her
dnmb, and when she was found she had
lost the senses which never returned.
One of the saddest parts of this -
that the shock which caused her great
sorrow was only imaginary. doctors
from all parts of the country have
worked on the case, with no good re-
suits.
She remembers how the sky looks
and what it is like TO hear sounds, but
never again on earth will she enter the
light of material things.

A TALKING GLOVE.
Novel Conversational Expedient of n
Young Woman Who Is Blind,
Deaf and Dumb.

"Blind Matte" is an inmate of the
Newark almshouse, says the New York
Press. Thi1 kind of home life would
seem SAD enough, but for Matte it mat
ters little where she lives so long as
people about her are kind and consid-
crate.
Not only is she blind, but she is also
deaf and dumb, and can neither smell
nor taste.
With all this affliction she possesses
q mind of remarkable activity and even
brlliancy, for she can rhyme hymns,
which she loves to compose, and, in
deed, there is in many of them real
poetic pathos. She is 80 years old, but
looks much older.
Her sad life has attracted much at
tention, and recently she received
talking glove"-a gift from a deaf
mute in Hartford, Conn, who had read
of Mattie's affiiction and who invented
the glove to help mitigate them.
1t is a common white cotton glove,
with the alphabet put on it, each letter
on the balls of the fingers. Matte is so
quick at learning with touch that in a
single day she had memorized the posi-
tion of every letter, so that now the
people about her can talk to her by
spelling out the word on the letters OF
the glove.
She is happy now, sitting by her little
cot, waiting for some one to talk to
her" Over and over again her lips
move in spelling out words, and while

Thnse Little CurIa.

No matter what the style of coiffure
is, wether the hair is done high or low,
or in pompadour combs, below the coil
there are found two, sometimes three
tiny curls. They add quaint coquet-
tishness to pretty face that is charm
ing in the extreme. Not once in SO
times are they natural. 1t is imprac-
tical to curl the ends of the hair that
are needed to wind up scientifically the
coil But they are pretty just the same
and make pretty face twice as attrac-
tive.
