luncheon is the latest fad of New York
club women. Monkey dinners are out

want TO be really chic and swell you
must give a bath house entertainment.
Mrs. IC. Bankey Jones started the new
fad by asking 20 presidents of various

explanation.

Happiness. from Troubles.

Being human, happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the company it loves. We
all have our troubles, and some of us
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation Of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when
wretched, but these we believe to be as
few in number as they are d~isagrecable
In association. The vast majority Of
humans are normal and disposed, there
fore, In conformity with natural law,
to smile when the skies are clear and
to grieye under the portent of clouds !:
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession Of the mind. colors the dis
position and makes a cripple Of effort.
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as We do almost uncon-
sciously the certainty of death. but
too little cognizance is taken of the
fact that the effect of mere apprehcn-
sion, which is all that worry really is,
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome.-George
Harvey, in North American Review.
