An amusing example AZ the

NJ. Boil. In the case OF a patient
who had recourse to a hypnotizer,
and was subjected to the hyp-
motto process several times in
the presence of many spectators.

the operator, did not dare TO
persist in saying that he did not
sleep, and finally pretended to
sleep. through timldity, or ia
tigue, or in order not to break
up an exhibition the manager
of which was "un monsieur de-
core" "a gentleman wearing
decoration).
AS to the apeutic
value of hypnotic suggestion,
M. Boil says that he is of the
same opinion with Maurice de
Fleury and Charles Blondel, viz,
that it has none, adding a remark
of Blondel to the effect that, at
the most, one might have re-
course to this stage.setting In the
case of patient who was con-
WINGED in advance that 1t was
necessary to cure.

''if they see any advantage In

MANY of our readers will re-
1N1 member how some thirty
or forty years ago, the sub
ject OF hypnotism "gripped" pop
ular attention. There was wide
spread belief. even in well-intorm-
ed circles, that hypnotism offered
a method OF curing disease
through Suggestion" communicat-
ed to the patient while in "a 'hyp-
motto sleep" Wild stories got
about concerning alleged criminal
use of the power said to be pos
sessed by the "hypnotizer" over
the "hypnotised. One Of the
most generally read and discussed
of the romances published in the
Eighties had it's plot based on
this theme. And it is only neces-
sary now to read certain books
on psychology to find hypnatism
seriously treated as an estab.
lished branch of experimental
science. The famous French
thinker and writer, Henri Berg

pOrated the doctrine of hypnotism
in his philosophy OF Spiritual

But now, suddenly. comes re-
action. In. the "Mercure de

writes on the Greatness and De-
cline of Hypnotism'b CGrandeur

ASKING A BOY
TO DANCE
Mrs. Cornelius BeeckmaI

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Would you kindly tell me
II 1t is proper to ask a boy friend
of short acquaintance to go with
me to an informal dance, given
by the firm l am employed with?
II so, kindly tell me how / should
invite him. 1t is not free, but the
tickets are not above ordinary
prices. My brother and a girl
friend are going, so we would all
go together. ANXIOUS.
1T Is proper for you to give
4 this invitation, II you do it
in just the right way. That is.
you should ask the young man In
a way that would give him the
opportunity to regret" the in
vitation if he wishes to do 40 with
no. embarrassment to him. The
only way to do this is to write
him a note of invitation. Then,
since you are making yourself the
hostess, you should be the com
plete" hostess, and buy the tickets.
Then you should let him know that
YOU have the tickets All This
must be done, l think, so that
there can be no misinterpretatio ton
of the invitation. Such IL note
would read something like this:
DEAR BOB:
ta"nItI1 llyo fa on Utf n
to a dance that is to be given by
my firm on Saturday evening the
tenth of JULY, in Happiness Hall?
l should like very much to have
you go with us-my brother and
Anne Moore and myself. The
dance is%at 8 o'clock, so we plan
to leave our home at about $3.50.
If you can go. will send you
the tickets. for safe keeping,
and we can make the other ar
rangements later.
Best wishes and hope that YOU
are not engaged for the tenth.
Yours very sincerely"
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Is it proper for a brides
maid to wear long gloves with
for a bridesmaid to wear
sleeveless gown when the bride
is wearing long sleeves? The
wedding takes place at 8 o'clock.
UNCERTAIN.
DOTH of these details are de-
ID cided by the bride, and the
bridesmaid should consult with
the bride as to her wishes. Wheth-
err or not the bride herself or her
bridesmaids wear gloves is for
the bride to decide, and she de
cides the question acco"d;n$ TO
the requirements of the dresses.
1t is proper for va bridesmaid TO
wear long gloves with an evening
dress, and it is also proper for
her to wear short sleeves when
the bride is wearing long sleeves
If the bride approves.

answer questions on etiquette
