why II happens.
There is no other disease presenting so
many or such a diversity of symptoms,
none so peculiar in its occurrence and none
which, with a few rare exceptions, so
completely upsets all the rules that can
applied to it. Hysteria occurs almost ex-
clusively in females, but about one per

case has been found In childhood and in
old age
Many women are in constant state OF

disappointment will upset them. In most
cases there is a hereditary predisposition,
parent or grand-parent having nervous
or mental disease, or ST tering from alco-
holism or drug addiction. They say a ner-
vous mother will make her child nervous,
but usually the child of such mother Is
born nervous, and its association with the
mother increases its own affliction.
The normal female mind is swayed more
powerfully by her emotions than by her
reason, but her reason and will are usually
strong enough to check emotional extrav-
agances. In hysteris the emotions have
complete control, and neither reason nor

roundings, Indifferent to direction, with
out the hesitancy of uncertainty.
Yet every hysterical person has def

self through some unusual act. There
may be a morbid impulse, mental stress,
emotional extravaganza, inability to con-
troll physical reactions, such as convul-
sions and spasms, apparent loss of mem

rUST week before her wedding day
Miss Helen Lyons, New York girl,
! put her wedding dress under her arm,
stepped out of the front door OF her par
ents' residence-and disappeared. This
young woman of excellent social position
and comfortable circumstances, with the
greatest happiness that can come to girl
about to be realized, left everything and
wandered out into the cold world. Her
parents and her hance were utterly dumb
founded.
And the entire city of London recently
was upset by the unaccountable disap-
pearance of another young woman whose
strange exploit filled the newspapers and
worried the police for several days.
Miss Pamela Beckett, young society
girl of London, and daughter of the Hon.
orable Rupert and Mrs. Beckett stepped
forth from her home OF luxury in Grosve-
nor street, London-and completely dsap-
peared.
Two days later she was found at night
lying by the side of a ditch, trembling and
teeth chattering.
This pretty eighteen-year-old girl had
no plans at all when she left her home.
She wore a pearl necklace and other Jew
elry had a pocketful Of money and yalu-
able furs. and wandered for two days and
nights along the highways and byways Of
= the suburbs of London without molestation
or harm.
During this time she had no food at all
On the first night two men in a motor car
stopped Miss Beckett and asked where
she was going. One of them said that she
could not stay out all night and drove the
girl in his automobile to his home, where
: his wife asked her to go to bed but she
declined and threw herself down on a
couch When everybody was asleep the
girl opened the front door and fed out
into the night again.
Miss Beckett has no recollection OF
where this house was, and remembers
nothing about the following day. But she
recalls that she spent her second night
asleep in some garden. Nor does Miss
Beckett remember what she did or where
she went on that next day up to the time
she was found lying. by the side of the
ditch in the early evening, cold and tremb
ling.

asked her what the trouble was she re-
piled that she was all right and asked to

and cheered by the hot tea, Miss Beckett
said languidly, in explanation of her
wanderings:
Il felt just fed up with everything, with
clothes and money and things; tired of the
whole life Then a sudden impulse came
to me to go out and leave it ALL
It is quite remarkable and piece OF
great good fortune THAT no harm came to
this attractive eighteen-year-old young
gentlewoman. Did she escape by good
luck the fate which, perhaps, befell Doro-
thy Arnold, whose mysterious disappear
ance eleven years ago in New York has
never been explained?
And Dorothy Arnold's disappearance re-
calls the mystery of the beautiful, wealthy
young daughter of John w. De Kay, the
multi-millionaire packing king of Chicago.
It was about two years ago that pretty
Jeanne De Kay vanished from the worlds

street on which she was last seen had

wilful and rebel against the restraints Of
conventional society-headstron young
women who want to live their lives as
they please and laugh at the advice OF
older people and are willing to take the
consequences of their folly.
But there are some cases of mysterious
disappearance which are the result of sud
den loss of mental balance. For the time
the girl is mentally i'll. Doctors recognize
what others do pot-that the balance OF
the nervous system of women and the
entire feminine trend of thought is not
the same as with men. Women are more
