The members of the police trial board, tired and disgusted, have firally concluded the task of taking testimor\cin the case of Lieut. Gessford against Sergt. Daley. The testimony will probably make two hundred typewritten pages, and includes much mat- ter which has no bearing on the charge made. Considerable time of the board was spent hearing evidence concerning the character of witnesses, and considerable de talk was indulged in. At the closing session yesterday members of the board showed that they were tired of the pro- ceedings when a witness who appeared knew no more than did some of the others, and then it was that Lieuts, Heffner and Swindells gave vent to their feelings. The testimony 1s now all in, and the officers in- terested in the case will now have an op- portunity to do some street duty and pro- tect life and property. > To Strengthen the Lungs and Chest. From the Scranton Tribune. Each morning after the bath, stand erect, feet together, shoulders back, arms straight down, and take twenty-five full, deep treaths. Better begin with fifteen the first week, then gradually increase un- til you can take fifty. By that time the lungs will be stronger and the chest will begin to expand. Then throw the shoulders firmly back until the blades almost meet, take a full, deep breath, and make the rotary withthe shoulder joint that is made in rowiwg, and repeat this several times. Then rhove the shoulders and arms back- ward in-regular motions until the elbows are only a. few inches apart. Try these exercives only a few times at first, then increase until a hundred motions may be taken-without fatigue. eee or more Hour for C 2 2 aval ‘en Changed Food Exvosition. THE SOCIAL WORLD Will It Be Gay ie Will , It Not? PLANS FOR THE SOCIAL CAMPAIGN Little Frances Lamont the Hostess of a Party Today. Boas SEE PERSONAL NOTES OF INTEREST Everybody is asking everybody else whether or not the coming season is likely to be very gay. The question was asked in a high offictal quarter the other day, and the hostess mede answer that recent events were not of character likely to cause the administration to be inordinately lively for some little time to come. In other words, the usual routine may be confent- ly expected in all the official households, the entertainments even more p:easant than those of last year, because each hostess is beginning now to feel acquainted, and has the knowledge that she is welcoming friends. For the rest of the world, the resident families who have been in the habit of entertaining each winter can be safely relied upon to keep on doing so, and with the usual influx of new pecple and the unexpected events there is not any doubt but that the usual average will be kept up, With Mrs. McPherson, Mrs. bar- ney and Mrs. Townsend buck again three most agreeable rendezvous for society are established. Mrs. John R. McLean ts cred- ited with the determination of giving a series of Saturday night dances right through the winter, and it has not been ner custom to disappoint any expectations, how- ever senguine, which her friends formed of her hospitable intentions. It is a little too early to anticipate more of the plans which are freely talked abou ‘ound the 5 o'clock tea tables, when there is yet another month Defore any dates will be announced. The debutantes seem to have passed around the word to come out early this winter, and debut teas are likely to be frequent occurrences during the first two weeks of next month. As an acceptable method of launching a young lady in socie- ty there has not been any form of enter- tainment yet devised which answers all the demands quite so well. Many & joke, good and bad, nas been made on it, but it sur- vives them all, and is just as popular as ever. Whether it is still “hard times” or an unwillingness to appear ostentatious from which some good people suffer spasmodical- ly, debut teas are likely to be more num- erous than debut balls, but, of course, a few of the lucky ones will be dead certain to have both and a good many more sim- flar incidents before their home folks will consider them properly started in the whirl. Some more of the buds are going to be presented to their parents’ friends at a suc- cession of dinners, and here is where the eligible men will be seen in their full glory. Young people’s dinners, especially for the set who are not particularly devoted to dancing, are to keep up the ascendancy in the regular program of the winter, gained some years ago. But as the stars differ in glory, #0 does the modern girl who has had all the ad- vantages of foreign travel and the associa~ tion of charming and refined people differ from the girl of a dozen years ago who was on the eve of entering society. There are people who remember as iar back as that. Bhe stood beside her mother, a vision of delicate loveliness in her low-necked tulle ball gown, trembling more than the roses she carried at all the pretty compliments paid her and thoroughly delighted at the prospects of pleasure ahead. The girl of today rather looks on the whole business of going into society as a wholesale bore. She does not care for dancing, rather objects to it from both a moral and hygienic stand- point, and ball gowns present no tempta- tions, for she has had trunks of them al- ready during her school life. Her ideas of happiness and having what is called a “good time” depend on her opportunities for open-air enjoyments. “Good times” pre- supposes the company of men, not neces- sarily any of whom she could bring herself to marry, but men to pay her all the little attentions which girls have a right to ex- pect. The modern girl, therefore, follows the time-honored custom of béing pre- sented to society and of being glad when she receives plenty of invitations, so that she can be heard of, if she likes, in the swim, but to indulge in any dreams beforehand of all the store for her—not a bit of it. The home of the Secretary of War was a regular fairyland this afternoon by the gathering of the little friends of little Frances Lamont, who were invited in to spend the afternoon playing with her. Ruth Cleveland and Margaret Bissell were in the number, and the little folks had a very merry time of it for several hours, after which they were entertained by a feast of good things in the dining room. This has been rather a busy week in the way of dinner parties, and few in the dip- lomatic corps have dined out as frequently as the Chinese minister and Mrs. Yang Yu. The latter is constantly tmproving in her English, understands very well and is able to respond most appropriately to the salu- tations of those she meets. In this regard she i» far ahead of her husband, who has rose-colored fine times in not yet made much progress in his study }* of our language, notwithstanding his great willingness to do so. At the marriage of Miss Huyck and Mr. Bates, on the 28th of this month, the brice will have no attendants. Mr. Samuel Bates of Boston will be best man for his brother and several of their cousins will be among the ushers. Both of the groom's uncles, Mr. Charles Howe and Mr. John Howe of Boston, will be on for the wedding. At the Christian Church, Redland, Ma., Wednesday last, Miss Ada Treavey, daugh- ter of Dr. Jacob Treavey, and Mr. Martin Heim were married.

Shaw's, No. 120 3d street north- east. The responses from all the members were from “Much Ado About Nothing;” the address was “Two Weeks in the ‘op- jes," by Dr. W. A. Croffut, and the reading was by M M: Church, from “The Gilded Age. The usual monthly sociable of Foundry Epworth League was held last even- ing in the parlors of the church, which were prettily decorated with palms and lighted by a number of parlor lamps, with shades of various colors.

Montegazzo, has written an essay upon the science of wrinkles. He believes one’s history can be largely told by the lines upon the face. Entering into a description of the diiferent varieties and their meanings, he says: “Horizontal lines across the forehead are found even in children who are rickets or idjots, and that being out in the sun with the eyes unshaded will produce them pre- maturely, but they are natural at forty or earlier, Vertical lines between the eyes denote thought and study, since deep con- centration contracts the eyebrows; erief and worry produce the same effect, and, frequently repeated, either leaves a per- manent fold in the skin. Arched wrinkics just above the nose indicate extreme suf- tering, either mental or physical. The earliest wrinkles of all and the most un- avoijable are those which run from either side of the nostril down to the mouth, and these are produced by smiling and even the motion of the jaws in masticating—a warning to gum-chewers: oo Why Sleep Le From the Scranton Tribune. Sleep as a prolonger of life is upheld by a curious calculation which appeared in @ medical work on the digestive organs and faculties. The duration of human life may be ascertained by the pulsations of the body. Say a man Iives to seventy years, his heart beating sixty to the minute, the pulsations in that time foot up to 2,207,- 520,000, If, by intemperance, or any other cause, he raises pulsation to seventy-five a minute, the same number of pulsations would be finished in fifty-six years. And as the number of pulsations is less in sleeping than in a waking state, it stands to reason that a long sleeper has much bet~ ter prospect of a long life than a person who is satisfied with short naps. Napo- leon I, who slept very little, did not maine tain old ege. Gen. Butler, who could si at will, rounded out a good, ripe sheaf years. ——_+ e+ ___ Death of “P. Jny.” P. J.
