 In line with their course of furnish ing suitable playgrounds and athletic accessories for their employees, the officials of the American Thread com- pany have in contemplation adding 8 new sport to those in which they are interested.

 There is already a roque grounds in this city, located on the property of A. B. Spellman on Pleasant street, and the members of the Willimantic club would welcome competition in the sport, and undoubtedly aid in awaken ing interest.

CARE OF THE THROAT.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

II you have caused a dark line to ap-
pear about your throat because OF the
new high collars, your first treatment
must be toward eliminating 1t. Cold
water will stand you In little stead: the
neck should be washed with warm wa
ter, into which a few drops of benzoin
have been added. This done. you should
exercise the neck until a free perspira-
tion appears. then again bathe It In warm
water. and apply the following lotion.
letting ii dry on the neck:
Boric acid one drachm; distilled witch
hazel, two ounces; rosewater. two
ounces.
To keep the neck in good condition it
should be exercised in this way: Bend
the head back and forward and from
side to side. and you will soon bring on
a perspiration, if you have first opened
the pores by a warm bath. Or you can
take a small Turkish towel and rub the
neck freely with it. The idea is to open
the pores SO that the bleaching lotion
will give quicker results. This treatment
should be given every night until the
streak disappears.
The work of keeping the skin soft and
white should be done at night. If you
have been out in the air. with sun and
wind beating against your throat all
day. then apply cold cream before You
wash the neck. This loosens the dust,
when the neck should be wiped off with
a bit of old linen. If you are averse to
using cold cream, a very good emollient
can be made at home Take the white Of
one raw egg. and beat it to a very stiff
froth-so stir that it can be turned up
side down on the platter and not fall.
Then put II int a bowl and add an equal
quantity of pure, sweet almond oil. Rub
this mixture on the neck with old linen,
wipe off with clean CLOTH and then
wash with soap and water.
II the neck is tanned and discolored
all over-by this mean has no distanct
streak, but is simply a muddy color all
over-I advise the following bleach: Five
grams of powdered borax, five grams OF
tincture of benzoin, ten grams of pure
rosewater. Shake the ingredients well
until thoroughly mixed. and mop the
neck with the lotion. letting It dry on.
This lotion can be used twice a day,
at night and after the morning bath
After the morning bath. apply the lotion
and then dust the throat with pure

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
December 31-Mrs. Caroline Wilson,
Anna Quincy.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Mrs. Caroline Wilson. born in 17S7, and
Anna Gurney. born eight years later, on
the last day of the year, both gained
fame because of intellectual attainment.
Mrs. Wilson was the ninth child of
John Fry, a farmer. Her older brothers
and sisters had been carefully educated,
and her education devolved upon them
1t was thorough, but little unusual, and
It was partly accomplished by the wide
and undirected reading which she did.
When she was fifteen she wrote a history
of England in verse, which her father
published.

London. and was then, when she was

library.
When she was forty-four she visited
Paris and that same year she married
Mrh Wilson. She wrote many hymns
and religious bookseller best known
hymn being For What Shall 1 Praise
Thee, My God and My King"
Anna Gurney was an Anglo-Saxon
scholar. She lived an active and happy
life of sixty-two years in spite of the
fact that she was a paralytic and was
never able to stand. She had a good
mind, and devoted II to the study OF
Anglo-Saxon literature. But her interests
were not all scholarly. She lived on
the seashore. and bought the best life
saving apparatus of the day. so that
whenever there was a wreck she could
be carried to the beach to direct the
saving of the half-drowned sailors and
passengers. She was also interested in
the negro-emancipation question. and
che had extensive correspondence with
missionaries to Africa
In spite OF her invalidism, she Travelled.
and after her journey to Rome and
Athens. she was made the first woman
member of the Archaeological society.
In later life she became a student of
Danish, Swedish and Russian literature.

Beaded and metallic trimmings are

Beaded fringes in crystal and silver
and also in colors of blue. green and
brown in width up to eight inches are
used for edging tunics and dancing
dresses.
Dainty and light are the opalescent
or radium ~spangles appearing in al

combination with crystals or pearls.
Passementerie motifs in triangular
and wedge shaped effects in smart
color combinations are used on semi
fitted basques. Fancy buttons with
loops are also used for basque decora-
ton.
Bead fringe is very much in vogue

fringe to match the tunics or large tas-

THE CHURCH AS

A Broader Sphere for ReIIgIon-New
Field for the Rural Church.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers, Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty of the rural church
Is as much a part of its obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing a true religious In
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over.
fed with solid theological food. is fast
giving way to a broader interpreta,
ton of the functions of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
of those who have sought to make the
world a fit habitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty Of the
rural church. The true christian re
ligion is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness, the church must chal-
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is Elk
pressed. While c%herishing ideals of
service, the rural church which IT
tains the fullest measure of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as 1t can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with its members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need a social center. The
church need offer no apology for its
ambition to fill this need in the COM
munity, II an understanding of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of q
rural community is exceedingly COM
pick; 1t contains many social groups,
each of which has its own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter
est Of all the people. it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.
