Club met at Cooleyis boat landing
where the "Weto" was moored and all
in readiness for the trip down the
river to Ruffin's ranch where lovely
hospitality was offered by Mr.. and
Mrs, w, NJ. Ruffin. Each member of
the party had prepared a picnic lunch
and on arrival at the ranch the boxes
were opened and a regular picnic was
enjoyed on the grounds. Plenty OF
cooling drinks had been provided and
together with an abundance Of appe-
tizing viands feast eft for the gods"
was spread.
1t was twelve o'clock before the re-
turn trip was made. The night was
so wonderful and the river so invit-
ingly beautiful that each one present
left for their homes with extreme re-
luctance. 1t is hoped, for the sake
Of those who were unable to attend
that the pleasure will be repeated. Al
most fifty club members were pres

What Mysteries Is

Mysteries sometimes is applied to
mere tantrums, or "cutting-up."
This, however, should not be confus-
ed with genuine Mysteries. One may
be punished properly for a fit Of
temper but no one should be pun
ished in any way for Mysteries. Crude
measures, such as a dash of cold
water in the face. will have no effect
on hysteria.
Hysteria generally is brought on
by emotional excitement or over
work. especially nervous or mental
work. Some idea controls the body
for the time being. In a great
many cases. the controlling idea is
one that was implanted on the sub
conscious mind in early life by some
fright or other unpleasant emotional
experience. The experience has been
forgotten, yet the impression re-
mains. Certain circumstances bring
up this suppressed idea and give it
temporary control over the mind,
though the patient is unaware of it.
A physician sometimes may trace
this depressed idea and show the
sufferer its influence restoring
complete s~elf-control.
Sometimes Mysteries Stimulates
the epileptic fit, though the hysteri-
cal woman will not bite her tongue
or fall so as to hurt herself. More
likely she will fall in a graceful at
titude and appear very melodra-
matte. In many cases there is down
right delirium.
A person suffering from Mysteries
should not receive sympathy from
friends. That only aggravates it.
Better to show no concern at all.
Rest works wonders in most cases.
In others, the hygienic life will lead
to a cure.

Paris recently held a contest to
find the woman with the most per-
feet pair of eyebrows.
Mademoiselle Myrtle May won the
first prize because of the extraordi-
nary length and slenderness of her
brows, while the alluring quality of
her dark, oriental ones won second
place for Mademoiselle Estelle Ores
so.
Thousands of girls were in the
contest and thousands were elm
mated because they had followed
the present fad of plucking or shaw
ing the eyebrows to attain the slen-
der pencilled effect.
The artists who judged the beau
ties said this practice destroyed the
natural beauty of the eye, and took
away the character from the face.
Mrs. Martha Schaffner, head of
the beauty par1or of the Pennsyl-
vania Hotel, New York, who studies
women from all parts Of the country,
says that plucking the eyebrows has
ceased to be a fad, but has become
an established practice.
Takes From Character
practically every woman we treat
has her brows shaped into the line
she prefers. 1 will not say that this
destroys the natural beauty of the
face, but it does take away a little
of the character.
"You can tell much about a
woman's disposition and natural ten
denotes by studying the eyebrows
she continued.
when I see a woman with heavy
clearly marked eyebrows, l know
she has physical vigor and excep-
tional powers of observation and
perception.
