She was a lover of books and although deaf, still could read to others.

The names of two blind persons were given to her and she spent part of each week in reading to them. Later they died, and she again asked for names this fall, and planned to start reading to another shut-in after the holidays but that is one unfinished task left in Miss Thompson's life which was filled with activities and interests. keeping the throatline young, is the platysma. Picture this as a thin sheet of muscle fibers which covers the collar bones and extends obliquely upward and toward the middle, rounding the jawbone. In other words, this thin sheet of muscle covers the entire front of the neck and when kept in tone, holds the skin to a smooth covering.

This widespread muscle sheet, however, frequently becomes flabby and imbedded with fat, particularly in women. Horrors! Fortunately it doesn't take much exercise to tone these muscles. The secret is to take them regularly, a couple of toner-uppers every day. But even more important than exercise, is proper head carriage. When the head is balanced properly, all the muscles of the neck gain in tone and a double chin hasn't a chance.

Here is an easy exercise. A good time to take it is first thing in the morning, before getting out of bed.

Behind it a steep bluff rises and on the highest point is an Indian grave marked by rocks. The farm was a grant from the government to her father. He married a pioneer girl who had come out from New York state to teach.

Miss Thompson described her mother in verse: "My mother's laughter teas a silken flag Rippling above some rampart of her soul; Drawing us out of doldrums of the mind, Daring us over rocky steeps up to her knoll Where breezy sunlight danced Laughter unfaltering and unafraid We followed where its teasing brightness played, Making of duty just an escapade." Miss Thompson did her first rhyming in the brick school-house in the valley, went to Mankato Normal school, now the Mankato State Teachers college, and the University of Minnesota, contributing regularly to the college literary publications. She taught English and Latin in the Twin Cities and in Los Angeles, being called home from California to care for her parents. Later she taught in Houston. Among her pupils were the Rev. B.

G. Witt and Harvey Gordon. She retired from teaching to "live a little while." Her varied interests, a love of the outdoors, the furthering of farm German folk tale, and "Paddy's Christmas" by H.

A readings of the emblem benediction in memory of Mrs. John Thompson, a former member, was given by Mrs. Arthur Bowman, chairman of the emblem committee which was in charge of this meeting. Mrs. D.

Potter, featured speaker at the dinner meeting of the Winona Business and Professional Women's club in St.

Paul's Episcopal parish house Tuesday evening, told members in her Christmas message. "Each one of you has three things to dedicate this Christmas," she asserted. "First of all, you each have Time. Everyone has the same amount of time, 24 hours in each day. Each morning gives you a new slate, on which you can write either the good or the evil accomplished during the day.

One-third of the day is spent in working. What will you produce? Will you have blessed common humanity? "Secondly, each of you has some degree of Health.

Ax 7 knuckle massage, which doesn't stretch the skin but works deeply into the muscle, makes for a rounder and more youthful appearance. First smooth on some cream, then clench fist and place against jawline between the knuckles and the bend in the fingers, and "rock" or knead deeply along that line, starting from the tip of the chin and working toward the ear.

Do the same knuckle massage along the other side of the jaw, using the other fist. Do this slowly, massaging deeply and working upward only. Back these beauty measures by holding your head squarely on your shoulders. The secret is to pull up with that line at the back of the neck and keep the tip of the chin level, tipped neither up nor down. The right head carriage keeps the throat muscles toned and on the job.

The stones for the fireplace came from the creek where Miss Thompson had waded during her childhood and the logs were the trees among which she had played. Once a walk through Central park inspired a poem to Wenonah which closed with the stanza: "Wenonah'. Here she stands immortal in her grace.

With something in her lifted dusky face That only love can feel, And only truth reveal." Her love of the country side evinced in: "If Heaven be no more than a country road And going there be just a walk along its way In the low sunlight of late afternoon. Homeward at close of day. Past little houses under rooftree's glimmering smile With blue smoke climbing from each chimney tip, Good supper sviells and white doors waiting On lawns glad dogs and children playing in swift companionship 1 Heaven should be only thisf I say.

Minnesota was written originally in 1857, she explained, and has since been amended several times, so that now it is slightly unwieldy to use. Governor Youngdahl has appointed a committee to study the possibility of a constitutional convention, and all club members were urged to study the question also, so that they will be in a position to take action on the federation resolution.
