For honorary vice presidents general
the following were named and their
names placed on the bulletin board: Mrs.
Helen NJ. Boynton, Mrs. de B. Randolph
Keim, Mrs. Eleanor Holmes Lindsay. Mrs.
S. V. White.
The president general then asked the
state regents of those states which pre-
scented candidates to send to her the
names of two members of their delega-
ton whom she wished to have serve as
tellers. She said she desired the elections
to be perfectly fair, and in order that
there might be no question she thought
each candidate should have her own
friends among the tellers-

This spoiled the calculations of a good

was out for business and held to the cut in
the flow of oratory.
Enthusiasm Prevails. -
Great enthusiasm prevailed. and as the
various names were presented cheers and
applause greeted each. 1t would be hard to
say who was the most popular among the
candidates. but ii is certain that the nomi-
nation of Mrs. Robert Parke of Georgia
elected the most applause, and when her
name was finally placed upon the bulletin
board she was called TO the front of the
platform and presented with half a bushei

The morning session of the Continental

gress. She stated that if the ballot was
entered upon she must rule that it con-

hardship to those who desired to attend
the reception
1t was finally decided to crowd the pro-
gram q bit, adjourn for the White House
reception and return to the hall at o CLOCK
to ballot for the officers. 1t is feared that
there will have to be a second ballot, as
but two honorary vice presidents can be
elected and ten vice presidents general, and
there are four candidates for the one ana
thirteen for the other.
The president general named Mrs. James

A E. EoIomons to have charge Of the aisles
during the balloting.

Eyes were at first made Of metal, eth
er copper or gold or silver, shaped in
to flat disks and painted to initiate
nature. In the days Of Ambrose Pare
the celebrated French surgeon Of the
sixteenth century, pointed represen-
tation of the whole eye and eyelids
was fastened in front Of the orbit and
held in place by steel spring that
fitted the upper circumference Of the
head. Eyes have been made of wax
and celluloid and vulcanite, and n
horse not long ago presented an i'm
proved appearance with an eye of
horn. Eyes were also made of porce-
lain when that came into use, and
their eject was decidedly more life
like.
A Haitian general once upon time
lost an eye in battle with the Spani-
ards and sent to Paris for another to
replace it. He received an expensive
and choice specimen from the Paris
maker, but because it contained a sug-
gcstion of yellow, which was the color
of the hated Spanird, the Haitian
soldier sent it back, swearing he would
wear an eye only that displayed tho
colors Of his country. The Partisan
artist thercupon made him one that
sportcd the red and green of Haiti,
and this the jealous warrior wore
proudly until the day Of his death.
False eyes were very expensive in
the early stage of the art. a false
eye ranked with the jewels Of per-
sons possession and was frequently
diverted from its proper use to shine
rs an ornament upon ONE part Of the
person for which it had not been de-
stincd. AS made today the cost Of a
false eye varies from IS to $l5. The
crux Of the art Of its manufacture is
in the preparation Of the crystal,
which must be carefully tempered by
Il gradual process to resist heat and
cold and the corrosive sccrctlons Of
the socket for which it is intended.
The crystal is colorcd variously from
Il BLUSH to ycllowish white to simu-

shades. aTking up glass tulip, fused
at one end of Il small glass pipe, and
holding it in the flame, the artist ap-
plies to its tip with the other hand the
end of stick of glass, which as it
melts forms the ground color of the
iris of the particular eye he has in
view. The glass tulip is kept twirling
in the left hand while the tip of the
colored glass stick is applied, so that
by degrees the point Of the tulip is
worn away and gradually encracking
circle takes its place and forms tho
iris. This, as it tends to lump. is
flattened every now and then by patA
ting.
Whenever the glass eye in its maxi
ing is withdrawn from the flame for
even a moment it must again be ac-
climated to the intense heat by first
introducing it into the lesser flame.
This simple prccaution neglected, brit
tleness will ensue and the eye crack on
the first occasion of its meeting tho
cold air of winters day. Tho
flecks in the iris are cunningly imita-
ted by light, deft strokes with the diff
fcrcnt colorcd glass sticks, all the time
the glass bulb revolving in the flame,
and now and then being blown to keep
it in proper shape. At last when the
iris has attained the proper diameter
and is flcckcd rs it should be, a stick
of black enamel is plugged into the
center and fused off when it has
reached a certain depth. This forms
the pupil. Some more stippling is
done to from the spcckS about the
pupil. then the minute veins arc trac-
cl on the white of the eye with stick
