"Premature aging, malnutrition, etc., cause the flesh to shrink, lose Its youthful plumpness and firmness. The skin then is too large for the flesh underneath; doesn't fit tighUy and snugly as It used to it wrinkles or sags. "It must be plain that to tighten the skin, make it fit the face perfectly In every place, will effectually remove the hateful wrinkles and bagglness. This is easily and harmlessly accomplished by dissolving an ounce of powdered sazolite In a half pint of witch basal and using the solution as a face Intlnft TJi inrrdlnt vnn n .. at any drug store. The results are surprising. The skin immediately Ugh ting up, becoming firm and fresh as la jtmth. Every wrinkle and sag la affected at once.

RICHMOND

Local Women Take Great Interest in Club Work and the Winter Season Will Be on in Full Blast by the First of October.

BY ELIZABETH R. THOMAS. Richmond is known for its many literary and social clubs and for its enthusiasm in matters of interest to women. On several occasions this city has been honored as has few other cities its size by federation meetings both of the district and the state. The club season will soon open and the members are eager to begin on the new year's work and many of the clubs are planning to take up work of vital interest. It is not known whether the "Suffrago Question" will b discussed. It is expected that in a short time the entire course of study for all the clubs will be announced. Several of the organizations have published their year books and within the next few weeks every thing will be completed for the year and the clubs will start the season with a rush. October seems to be the favored month for beginning the new club year. This is a good time to begin, for by that time nearly every one has returned from their summer vacations and are glad to begin with their club meetings. Richmond has some of the oldest clubs in the state, in which many leading women of this city have membership. The Tourist Club. The Tourist club was organized in 1820 and Friday evening, October Sixth, will start on its twenty-second tour through Austria and Hungary. The first meeting will be held at the home of Mr. Howard A. Dill. It has a membership list of fortytwo active members and seventeen honorary members. The "guest meetings" of this club are always looked forward to with pleasure by persons privileged to attend. The Magazine Club. The Magazine club, composed of about twelve women, meets each Monday afternoon and the club takes many interesting trips. The members have ships that sail by land and sea and explore the fields of science, art or far off lands. Two trips are made by the organization from October to May without fear of winter snows or spring showers. The ships have twenty-five home ports (the homes of members) from which they sail. They sail with a limited crew but sometimes have the pleasure of a guest or two. A new captain Is announced for each week and to provide against stofms two pilots are used. The ships always sail at two thirty o'clock and sometimes many of the sailors fail to get aboard. They can wire regrets if they have a good excuse, if not they can drop a nickle in the slot when next they get aboard. Sometimes the crew gets a little gay but the captain soon brings them into line. When the good ship brings them into port in May a banquet awaits them at one of the sailor's homes and. they toast to the success of the Magazine club and plan new trips to be taken the next year. The first meeting this year will be held in October. The hostess to be announced later. The Ticknor Club. In February, 1889, was organized the .v-i uaB melius j regularly each year since its organi-1 Za " . v ,j ! The sessions are held Monday afternoon of each week at which time the study of some literary work, usualIy Shakespeare, is given. Current ev- j TlAlrnA. AluVt nn 1 .' . 1. 1, 4.1 l ing. TTlXi first moatinir T th 1,,K U .,, 1 i. 7.T t . . year will be held about the middle of October. The year books are now in the hands of the printer and will soon be ready for publication. At the opening meeting of the club "President's Day" is usually observed and a banquet or dinner given. The husbands of the members are invited to attend and . , . the affair is always a most elaborate social event. This year the evening meeting will be held at the home of the President, Mrs. D. W. Dennis, corner Main and West Seventh street. The officers who will serve this year are: President Mrs. D. W. Dennis. Vice President Mrs. D. L. Mather. Treasurer Mrs. James A. Carr. Corresponding Secretary Mrs. Frank Chambers. Secretary Mrs. E. B. Grosvenor. The club expects to continue the study of Shakespeare this year. The Aftermath. An important organization of the city is the Aftermath society which was founded in 1886, and is one of the oldest clubs in this city. The Aftermath gained prominence here as well as elsewhere by its interest in civic affairs. For the past few years a committee from this club has had charge of "Yard Cleaning Day." They have also for several years distributed seeds among the school children and in the fall awarded prizes for the children having the best gardens. The motto of the club is "Ohne Hast; Ohne Rast. A number of women interested in educational work here are members. The opening meeting of the organization will be held in October. A banquet is always given by the club sometime during the year. At the evening meetings, which are held frequently, the men whose wives are members are Invited to attend as well as friends of the members. The Dorcas Society. The Dorcas society is known throughout the city for its Interest in charity, and many families are helped by the useful articles made and presented by the members. The - club meets fortnightly and the afternoons are spent at needlework. A number of the members are identified with the First English Lutheran church. . Progressive Literary Society. Last year a cumber of women organized the Progressive Literary soci ety and although the club has only had one season to show what it could do, it proved to be one of the most

active clubs In the city, and, true to Its name, surely was "progressive." The club this year held its first meeting Tuesday afternoon. September the Nineteenth with Mrs. J. H. Bennett, at her home in West Third street. Last season the club studied different authors and the year book for this season will be announced soon. A meeting for the men is held once in each year and a guest day is also a feature of the club's schedule. The membership list is limited to fifteen, but as several persons who were members last season have removed from the city there will be several new members selected this season to make up the fifteen. The club's motto is "Sinis Coronat Otus." The club flower is the rose. At each meeting there will be three subjects for discussion, History, Literature and Home Economics. Special music will also be a feature at each session. The officers of the organization are: President Mrs. Oscar Hasty. Vice President Mrs. George Chrisman. Secretary Miss Anna Fetta. Treasurer Mrs. Arthur King. The Trifoleum Society. Another well known literary society of this city is the Trifolium, an organization of the First English Lutheran church. The meetings are held the first Monday in each month at which time current topics of the day as well as the study of some country are presented. The club is an organization for men and women. Perhaps the most attractive features socially of this society are the banquets and evening meetings, or rather "Guest Day" at which time friend3 of the members are entertained. These meetings are usually held at the church while the regular sessions are held at the homes of the different members. Music Study Club. In music circles the Music Study club is perhaps the most prominent organization of its kind. The meeting are held in the mornings and usually on Wednesday mornings. However, about once a month an evening meeting is held, at which time each member is privileged to invite ten guests. All the meetings of the club are held in the Starr Piano parlors. The club has a limited membership. Last year the club gave several charming recitals which were features of the winter's music schedule. Athenaea. Literary Society. The Athenaea Literary society is an organization of the South Eighth Street Friends' church. The club col ors are pink and green and the flower, carnation. Like the other literary clubs of the city the Atheanea observes "guest day," evening meetings and at the close of the club season gives a banquet. The members of the club are: Active members, Miss Mary A. Moorman, Mrs. H. E. "Moorman, Mrs. P. J. Moss, Mrs. J. E. Mote. Mrs. R. W. Randle. j Mrs. E. L.

Carelessness of Home Training Evidenced by Behavior of Young Men and Women What the Library Has Done for Richmond People.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. What constitutes good manners! Many are the answers that have been given to this question, but perhaps the best is that good manners come from the heart. Have you not seen some very plain, untraveled, unsophisticated person, who had. perhaps, lived in one narrow environment all his life, still with the most beautiful manners. This comes from within. Consideration should not have to be taught. But if it is not innate it should be inculcated. Americans are criticized by foreigners for their lack of the outward observances of social intercourse. And yet,- the writer once heard it said that the evidence that Americans had the best manners in the world was the fact that a young woman, entirely alone and unprotected by any escort could travel from one end of this country to the other unmolested and without insult. It is said, however, that in New York, so much rowdyism prevails on the elevated trains and in public places that it has become a serious menace to safety and that the matter Is calling for drastic action. Rowdyism Is merely bad manners accentuated. And it exists in Richmond as well as in New York. In instance, this was seen the other evening. A guest was making her adieus in one of the resident streets of this city at about eight o'clock. As she went down the steps she passed two girls and a boy going in the opposite direction. These people were entirely unknown and unnoticed by the wo man who was leaving the house of her friends. As she passed them, the young man took off his hat and threw it violent ly from him on the sidewalk, making some mocking salutation and the two girls shrieked and howled and screamed with what is commonly called "ribald" laughter The lady in question, distressed and embarrassed, rushed home and declared her intention of never going out on the Btreet again. Were these boys and girls from families of no refinement? Not at all. But from some of the so-called "best families." It never occurred to these immature specimens of the genus home that they were equally as ridiculous to this inoffensive lady its she may have been to them. And, in addition, were obnoxious. " Some elderly women in conversation the other day stated that they frequently met three or four girls or boys abreast on the sidewalk, who never gave way or evinced any evidence of noticing that any other person or persons were in their vicinity and not only forced the elderly woman to walk out on the curb, but rudely jostled her since she could not get entirely out of their way unless she took to the street. That these things should occur in a town of this size is inexcusable. It argues a carelessness in home training deplorable to the last extent. The habitual loafer along the sidewalks and lounging in favorite nooks along the streets and his subjection of every passing person to close scrutiny or remark is, seemingly, to be CHILDREN WHO ARE SICKLY Mothers wuo value ttu'tr own comfort and tbe welfare of theirchilriren, should never be without box of Mother Gray's Sweet Powders for Children, for nse I hronghon t the een.on.

endured." But the rude boys and girls on the street, from good families, who, in common parlance, "ought to know i better." should not go unnoticed ot I the officials who are supposed to main tain order on the streets which are the avenues of communication for everybody and should not be made the stamping-ground ot that portion of the community which has no comprehension of the rights of others. As stated, consideration should not have to be taught. But if it is notpresent in the individual it should be forcibly inculcated. Lecturers who come to Richmond to address Richmond audiences comment upon the high order of intel!iRence at once apparent. And that this; is due to two agencies no one cani deny, namely, the presence in thii town since its early history of a col! lege and a library. That we have cue of the best librarw ies in the country is known " buti vaguely. But this remains the fact' And the interesting further fact that! it is the product of this city alone"' of two of its former citizens, Robert" Morrisson and Mrs.' Caroline Reeves makes it a more valuable educational! asset than if it had been donated by that alleged philanthropist, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who never commits ai benefaction without a string attached' to it and his name several feet high over the lintel. , ; '.. It is the truth that the Richmond public has a larger circulating library; than that section of New York which. has a circulating library in the greac v new public library building in New, York. This, to be sure, is but the brands r for that particular part of New York.1 but nonetheless that portion of the' great metropolis, is not as well sup- j plied with a book circulation as is thiat city. ' Nor is the children's room in thai new library for that particular section much larger or better equipped ( than is that in the Morrison-Reeves i library. To be sure our library Is not thef "open-shelf" system, but it is not prac-l ticable to maintain such a system 1 here at this time on acount of the f impossibility of having enough attachH es, but even with the open shelf systern there is much red tape and, la .' short, books can be got at aB readily here, if not more so, than elsewhere. The Morrisson-Reeves library is the ' second largest in Indiana, and has, in ' addition, what manv of the new 11braries have not a certain bookish atmosphere which comes of age and long -housing.
