A FlliAIICE REPORT j PREPARER BY COE Showing that the Y. M. B. C, Despite Fall Festival, Has Money in Bank. Although there was but a small balance In the treasury of the Young Men's Business club at the end of 1910 and there are several large expenditure which shall have to be met during the ensuing year, the financial outlook for 1911 Is not discouraging. The financial report for the last six months of 1910 was Issued on Tuesday by Domas 8. Ooe, the retiring treasurer, and It will be distributed among the members soon. Two hundred and forty-five dollars and flftynve cents was the total amount of expenses of the club during the last six months of 1910. However the club loaned to Its protege, the Fall Festival association. $7(0, which Is secured by note, payable on demand and drawing 6 per cent Interest. Including this us un expenditure, the club spent $954.55 during the past six months and a balance of only $126.48 In actual cash Is on deposit. This balance may be greatly Increased within the next six months by the collection of semi annual dues, and also the dues

of those members, of whom there are many, who are In arrears.

A Lttttr to the Club. The" report Is printed In pamphlet form and gives a detailed account of receipts and expenditures from July 1 to December 31. 1910. Appended to It Is the following open letter by the treasurer to the club: "On retiring from the office of treasurer of the Young Men's Business club, 1 herewith present a statement showing the financial condition of the organization on January 1, 1911; also a complcto list of receipts and extutnrilt nrna tmm Tiiltr 1 1010 iin In

Cash balance, January 1, 1911.) 126.48 In the expenditures there is one Hem of $700.00 representing a loan which the Young Men's Business club made to the Fall Festival association to be used toward making up the deficit that resulted from the Fall Festival last October. This loan Is secured by a note, payable on demand, and bearing 6 per cent interest. This note will be turned over by me to my successor In office, and should the Festival Association at some future time be financially able to reimburse the club of course It will be done. However as the Fall Festival is In reality the "child" of the Young Men's Business club there naturally will be some hesitancy In pressing the claim. Other than the expenditure of $700 for this purpose the affairs of the Young Men's Business club have been conducted during six months for a total of $254.65.

FOB MILADY S TRESSES. Ilalr ornaments are the rage thi winter, and it is a far cry from tb piece of bouuy blue ribbon that tied un the hair of the maiden of ye olden times to the elaborate coiffure ornaments of the season. Any girl with the least skill can make herself the most becoming hair decorations with gold or silver metallic braids. They are far more effective hair ornaments than the silken ribbons, which are only suitable above rery youthful faces. The upper ornament seen in the illustration is more adapted to the matron and Is made of bead embroidered gauze banding, two strips being wired and crossed under a loop at the center front and Joined again over the ears, where a fall of beads finishes the ornament. For tbe debutante is the wreath of little blush roses which are sewed to Invisible wire, the dainty wreath going all round the head and the cluster of roses coming back of one ear and che bow of pink velvet back of the other close to the neck.

ft.n Incident That Enraged the Actor and Amused the Audience. Some years ago a melodrama was 'teins performed in a country theater, tbe chief actor la which had made himself, from his haughty and overbearing conduct, disliked by all. Iu the last scene he was supposed to visit the tombs of his ancestors. In the center of tbe stage upon a marble pedestal stood the statue of his father. A heavy fold of Crapery covered the figure. Enter Albert, who thus addressed the statue:

"I am here once again to ffaze npouJ

those features which lu life so often looked on me with tenderest affection. Father, thy mourning son now comes to pay thee adoration. Let me remove the veil which from the vulgar gaze shields the beloved Image of a once dear parent!" Off went the drapery, and. behold, there was disclosed the statue of the father gracefully standing upon its bead. The effect cannot be described. It was electric. The shouts of laughter which followed the mistake of the super effectually put an end to the scene, which changed to tbe next as quickly as possible amid the jeers of the audience, tbe anger of the manager and the uncontrollable rage of tbe actor.

Art Acoustic Chair. Long before the telephone was invented It had occurred to people, that" sounds, especially the human voice", might be carried along a tube. Nar rowing sounds, if only for a little distance, keep them from scattering through the nlr. Even savages many centuries ago discovered that by putting the bauds together to the mouth it was' possible to throw the voice farther. After a time somebody invented the speaking trumpet, especially useful at sea or among mountains, and tho ear trumjWCby which tho deaf are enabled to listen to tbe conversation of relatives and friende. Kindness to the deaf, who are glad to hear even the chatter of children, led a Mr. Curtis to contrive what he called an acoustic chair., which he exhibited early in tbe reign of Queen Victoria. The chair was a high backed library one and had two barrels to fit each ear, but those who wished to talk by Its aid hnd no need to sneak into" a tube , or mouthpiece. Perforated plates collected the sounds of the room Into a vase, and .from this they were carried to the ears of any one seated in the chalrl Flexible tubes could be attached to the barrels, communicating with other rooms In. the bouse. Thus a deaf man sitting in the chair could hear everything that was going on almost as well as If his hearing was perfectly good.
