SILHOUETTE MAKING.
An Obsolete Art Revived as a PoDu-
lar Pastime for an Even
ing at Home.

It is not difficult process-that of
making excellent limitations of the old
silhouettes by the use of wall shad-
ows; and it is now popular pastime.
The candle or lamp may be placed
on the table at the distance that is
found on trial to make the plainest
shadow. The light should be on a
level with the head of the subject, so
that there will be no distortion of the
features by the rays casting shadow
in diagonal direction, says the Phil
adelphia Record.
By turning the head slightly and
slowly a few times from. side to side
the profile can be cast perfectly in a
shadow, as it is easy to see when the
head is turned either too much to one
side or to the other. Have the model
sit up erect, that the chin may not
sink in frills or a high collar.
Throw the head well back to give
an independent, striking, lively atti-
tude, yet not so far back that it looks
strained. If the head stoops, the sill
houette will probably look downcast
or hump shouldered. Don't let the
model assume an expression for preser-
vation. Let him talk moment or so,
while you watch the shadow in pro-
I file, on the paper before you. Catch
the most natural set of the lip or toss
of the chin, and then let the subject
maintain that position and expression
easily and naturally, with no pursuing
up of the mouth or nervous gripping
of the jaws.
When he sits still for a moment
quickly and steadily trace the out
lines of the shadow upon the paper
with your pencil or crayon. Watch
the sweep of the hair and indicate it
easily in its waves, though it is a mat
ter of secondary Importance. See that
you preserve the angles of the face,
the bend of the brow to the bridge
of the nose and the square, pendulous,
rounding, snubbed or Roman turn of
the nose itself. Catch the sharp angles
or curve where the nose turns into
the upper lip, as exactly as possible,
and the exact turn of the lips, thin
and firm or tenderly pouting, closely
set or softly dropped apart. See that
you have the turn of the chin and the
lower lip above it. Indicate the neck,
shoulders and coat by strong, ex-
pressive outlines that will preserve
the characteristics. And there you
are.
This is the simple silhouette, and
for it but few moments are re-
quired. A round dozen can be drawn
in very short time in the evening
when the lamp is lighted. They may
be filled in on a holiday, spare even
ing or a rainy Saturday. For hasty
work, liquid backing or dark ink will
do to fill in the outlines, using either
the sponge in the blacking bottle or
a marking brush. The penciled out
lines must. of course, be carefully fol-
lowed.
Do not finish the silhouette out to
the edge of the paper. Let the lower
part of the shoulders and bust GO un-
considered. Draw point downward
from back to front, beginning just be
low the coat collar and touching the
front of the outline at about the CEN
ter of the chest, or little above. This
will give the effect of medallion head,
and much more finished look to the
work when completed.

Mackenzie, A. Giyan. Reception COM
mittee: Members Of the lodge assisted
by Mesdames Steigler Clifford, Keim
and Howard. The ladies' are gratefully
remembered and the boys learned
some splendid lessons about receiving
guests.

book, Jas league. J. S. Montane,
J. w. Curtis, A. Givan, J. Barger and

The supper at the Wadsworth Hotel
was above par, the board graced with
luxuries for every taste, and the service
excellent. 1t is needless to state that
everybody took his appetite with him
after dancing so much and that justice
was done to the spread.
The music by the orchestra of the
Wadsworth Brass Band equals anything
in the State. There were seven pieces
under the leadership Of Prof. Smith,
encored too often for their comfort. 1t
Is a source of much satisfaction to
know that we have such talent at home
and can enjoy ourselves. The orches-
ira and band are very popular and will
so continue. The boys are to be pat
ted on the back
We have often been proud of ex-
tremely nice social parties in which
the gentlemen were universally we'll
dressed and the ladies' wore handsome
gowns. Upon this occasion it was
marked that many beautiful women
were present and many of the gowns
were delight. 1t was entertaining to
see such happy people. looking all that
the flush of health called for, their
light hearts showing in their eyes, and
all in accord in the desire to enjoy
themselves and give enjoyment to
others. We feel proud Of our people
upon occasions like this and wish we
could have them oftener.

every way and very deservedly so,

In social affairs. From the splendid
