The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-07-21

M1 ANY LADIES who remained in
IWW the city during the swetering
IVA weather of the past week have
4 a felt compensated by the visit
of Madame DE Goliere Daven-
port and the amount of benefit and
advice received from her. 1t is prob
able that not even Mrs. Rorer. who
turned the city, its pots, pan, groceries,
.."ocerymen, electra, topsy-turvy,
created such a decided furore as has
this well known apostle OF health and
beauty. People often know very well,
indeed, how to take care of themselves
and preserve their youth, but they are
prone to put off the day OF reform un-
less somebody comes along to stir
them up. No one has ever evinced
such possibilities of stirring" in this
vicinity as the lady in question and
the secret is probably her sincerity
and her complete knowledge of the
subject treated.
The great difficulty with Scranton
women is their Industrious pursuit of
fads by spasms. They are not indo-
lent, but they are easily diverted from
a purpose and the oCCupation or
amusement or exercise which today
absorbs every thought and aim will
next week be abandoned for some
thing new. 1t means work, and hard
work, to follow out the principles ad-
vocated in this system. 1t means
methodiCal arrangement of the day
and so practicable and sensible are the
suggestions that no woman who fol-
lows the prescribed rules can fail to
see herself rapidly transformed in
feeling as well as appearance. 1t is
certainly worth the effort.
Another class in physical training
is to be formed. \ preliminary talk
will be given by Madame Davenport
at the Jermyn Monday morning at 10
o'clock, to which all interested in the
logical development of the body and
the corresponding grace of appearance
are invited by the ladies in charge.
Deputy Attorney General Fleitz re-
turned from Harrisburg yesterday. He
spent last Saturday in Wyoming coun-
ty and was surprised to find so many
guests at the Falls hotel and to see
so many men along the river preparing
for fishing expeditions. Inquiry
brought out the information that they
were nearly all, to the number of one
hundred, from Wilkes Barre. Profess
sor Coles in Storms and Signs had
predicted Saturday last as being the
best day for fishing in the whole round
year. Wilkes-Barre' citizens have n
simple and childlike faith in Professor
Coles. hence the exodus of fishermen.
So impressed was Mr.. Fieitz with their
trust that he decided to fish also.

citizens. 1t was very hot, they fished
patiently and continuously, but the
round up at night could but produce
a single solitary fish as far as detected
in the entire outfit.
