TOWN TOPICS.
A DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT
MISS PLATT RECEIVED wITH GREAT
 FAVOR.

l MISS PLATT RECEIvED WITH GREAT FAVOR.
 The popularity of Miss Agnes B. Platt with local audiences was demon strated again in the large and repre- sentative company which nearly filled the seats at the Town hall, Wednesday night, and this in the face of zero weather and hard travelling. Miss Platt's voice improves and she was heard with great delight in her vocal numbers, and in the recitations and impersonations In the second part of the program she inadvertently broke tn on her father and Miss Fay Tor, who had seated themselves at the piano to respond to an encore, but this only amused the audience, and Miss Platt need have no regrets. Master Gordon Gale appeared in recitation and acquitted himself finely. Miss Marguerite Beecher appeared in two character recitations and sur prised her audience by her excellent work, which would have done credit to 8 person of mature age. She cer- tainly has future as an elocutionist TheI piano tduets of Miss Taylor and Prof Platt were we'll received. The programs used were generously do- hated by The D. M. Read Go.

'My little son, when about a year

come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about year and half of suf-

hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk.

months the sores were all well. He

HOW TO APPEAR TALL
Simple Rules That Will Aid Short
Women to Attain Fashionable
Height.

If you would appear as slender and
tall as possible observe the following
rules:
Adopt plain garments, dark colors
and lengthwise effects. A dark prin-
cess gown with lines from neck to
edge of skirt will accentuate the ap-
parent height and slenderness very
much.
Avoid all crosswise effects and
light colors; shun plaids, belts, large
buttons and a variety of material or
shading at one time-anything which
tents to break up the long, sweeping
lines of the same tone-as you would
a pestilence. For home wear, trail
ing garments in one tone, light or
dark, will increase the height.
n solid trig, compact, one-tone eff
feet must be the aim of the we'll
dressed, large, fieshy woman. Puffs,
ruffles and fluffy effects are not her
rightful inheritance. Her dimples and
curves are brought out best by the
