THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1899. 5 Bniiiimiiiiii:i:ii!j'',lii" 1 t8 1W -iujiu k ai jib KVUNT of today tit tho T Country club will do a mixed handicap, tho match beginning nt 2.30 this nfter noon, for tho T. II. Watklns cup. This prize Is a lovliiR cup of clcRant and graceful design. All who Play over the toursp arc expected to turn in their cords. As owing to the tyranny of man It Is the last mutch for a fort night In which the ladles may partici pate, there will bo a large number of entries, and It Is more than possible that one of the fair players will enp ture the trophy. Next week Is the date of the great open tourmment.when tho ladles are ex pected to make themselves ornamentnl nnd usful In serving tea of af tut noons and posing In graceful lines along the triumphal way of the contestants. They will not have n good time, for a golf tournament Is no Joke. It Is a deeply solemn occasion, when no girl must bo heard to giggle, much less whisper, on the course. There may be times when tho lords of creation arc pleasant and "winsome," but It Isn't during a golf tournament. Then they are generally snappy and horrid. If thoy smile, It Is a galvanized sort of grin that gives one an ominous shud der, such as they say wo feel when somebody is walking over our grave. If they speak nt all, it is usually some thing calculated to cause a coolness between friends. So on the whole, per haps, it is a wise provision to exclude ladles from the open tournament, as when It Is ended probably, like the members of a camping party, no two would be on speaking terms. The tournament will open on Wed nesday at 9.30 In the qualifying rounds. Piccedl"g any matches theto will bo no playing over tho course, any outside games being limited to after-play. Large rcore cards will be bulletined on the piazza, under the direction of an expel lenced storekeeper Durlrg the afternoons lea will bo served under tho charge of a commit tee consisting of Miss Belln, the Misses Archbald. Mls Hunt, Miss Welles and Miss Andoisnn. There will bo many dinners In honor of the visitors, and possibly an informal dance on Friday night. The tournament will bo a test of local players, and It Is expected that they will make an excellent showing ngalnst the crack players of tho Kast. The course Is In beautiful condition find now measures 4,270 yards, tho rec ord for the IS holes being 71, held by Captain J. II. Brooks. On Saturday afternoon there will be a general handicap, which, with the putting and driving contests of Friday nnd tho men's foursome of Saturday morning, will be onen only to those who have entered tho qualifying rounds. The prizes offered nre benutlful and costly and mav well be warmly con tested for, aside from the natural rivalry between the players. Excep tional Interest Is felt In the event, as many of tho most prominent golfers of the great clubs will enter. No more beautiful reception was ever given nt the Scranton club than the complimentary one of Thursday night In honor of the vlsltlnsr bankers. Not withstanding the large number of strangers present an unusual degree of Informality prevailed and tho oc casion w.th one of exceptional enjoy ment The committee on arrangements consisted of Messrs. F. L. Phillips, Shei'herd Aynrs and Isaac Post, nnd ndmiinbly did thoy fulfil their task. It was a unique experience for the stnto association mombeis to bo thus entertained and the elegance nnd taste displayed In the hospitality of tho Scranton club received continuous ex pressions of praise There were manv handsomely gowned Indies uiescnt and the effect during the entire even ing In the beautiful rooms was one of gre.it brllililii e.

It Is an open tournament, all players paying a table fee of twenty five cents for the expenses of prizes, etc. A very large number of entries nre expected, and many ladles will be present. Local whist lovers will be In terested In know Ins that Mr. T. E. Otis, of Newark, who has so many fi lends In this city, will be one of tho contestants. While players from Wllkes-Barre, Carbondale, Blrghnm ton, Pottsville and other cities are ex pected. Mr. Ayman, of Newark, has also promised to bo here. It Is re quested that all those who have been members of tho Otis Whist club will enter. The games will be played In the audi torium of the Bicycle club. Miss Emellno Dunn, whoso lovely pictures painted abroad by herself at tracted such favorable comment at a private view recently, will give two art lectures for tho benefit of the Young Women's Christian association, Nov.

Friends who have visited Miss Dunn's studio in New York say that her mod eling and oil painting are equally fine; and that her time Is occupied with as sistance rendered to art teachers who come to her. The committee having the matter In charge will soon have prepared an an nouncement of the talks with list of pictures to be showrr nnd names of patronesser. Among these are Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Price, Mrs. Boies, Miss Hawley and others who have seen both the pictures and tho scenes they rep resent and so can well recommend Miss Dunn to our friends.

It Is Just possible that the great novelist may make a third visit to Scranton this winter. Venice has not been an exceptionally fortunate locality for Scranton vlsltois this season. Mrs. W. W.

It HER POINT OF VIEW ! ANY NICE GIRLS have been anxiously beseeching me to tell thpm what the,' shall il- to be saved the mortification of going to parties all winter with their scrawny necks stlcklnu above their ball dresses. "I never saw anything like it!" exclaimed one ghi almost in tears the other day. "This neck of mine Is a horror. I'm a skele ton which any family might be proutf to hang In Its closet. I once had a pretty plump neck and a full chest. See these hollows?" and she excitedly tore off her collar and tie and dis played two saucers of goodly size each side of her collar bone, with a deep depression at tho base of her throit where the soft curves ought to He. "And all the other girls are Just is bad," she added with a hint of con solation In her tone. "We're all so much worse as to our necks since last spring," she continued. "All winter wo looked reasonably plump, but In spite of the perfectly glorious summer eveiy 0110 of us has had here wo start In with dances and things and have' to wear these sciaggly necks. Why mine's as ugly as a grandmother's of eighty. As for that, why dear me, my grandmother isn't quite eighty, but sho has a soft, beautiful neck like a br.uy's." "She never wore high, tight linen collars," I suggested sdly, becau'o you know it Is no earthly uso to fay anything aenlnst tlwse fashlcnablo collars. A glil will bo willing to tak chest exercises and neck gymnastics and go to bed at night nnnolnted like unto a newly crowned king ot the time of the patriarchs. She will ute all sorts nnd conditions of cold cream whether they are tho sort she ought to havo or not. Sho will spend hours with facial and neck massage, but discard that upright, i-onschntlous-looklng linen collar, she won't. It look so well.

But then will como again the charming shirt wnlst and the same old collar with perhaps a story added. Now, you dear gills, you can work out those hollows with a ruinous amount of cold cream, you can, by Ju dlclous manipulations succeed In cover ing the protuberances that now appall you, but you noer will, unless you belong to the fat sisterhood, and theso lamentations aro not written for that claps you never will succeed an s.U lhffictorlly If you do not, for a consid erable portion of tho year forswear tho lovely linen collar. Now tho great difficulty is, that the avcrnge girl will not bo persistent enouch In the treatment of her neck to secure satisfactory results. She will rub In cold cream most Industriously for a half hour at a tlmo for as much ns two nights. Then she comes homo late from a dance, or has played golf tco ,hard that day, or is too sleepy or for some other reason neglects her eelf-appoluted task for the succeeding coven nights. Then she wonders why her bones do not go out of sight. Vivo minutes' brtbk mn-jnge ivory night Is worth an hour on a week or twice a wepl.. So in1 nlchtM he jri"ws weitry in well doing and daubs cold cream very haHtlly over her face and neck, draws her nightie up over the annolnt cd suiface and goes to seep cherishing tl.c rti lusmn trat alio lins done her disappointed at the absence of lrn provement in her neck. Mlracle3 aren't often wrought for careless dam sels. Cold cream, chiefly applied to a lace trimmed night- gown and a Marseilles spread Isn't effective In pro ducing fat on the collar bones. There Isn't the slightest occasion for getting a suspicion of pienso on tho clothing of maiden or bed Tho annointlng pro cess should continue until tho cram is absorbed and then the surface should be carefully wiped free from oil. A good cream will absorb rapidly and It Is astonishing how much can be taken In by the pores. It should have no yellow- tinge, as this denotes ( the presence of vnsellne, although the cream may contain white vaseline, which Is equally bad for the face. It should be procured from a rellublo dealer, who will tell the customer the formulae If necessary. Lanoltno is a great fattening medium for flabby I flesh, but not all sklns will bear much of this in the mixture. Pure olive oil i Is as good for the neck as anything and can be purchased ln small quan tities, thii3 not being ln danger of turning raneld. Tho thinnest throat, neck and chest rubbed In a circular motion with as much cream or oil a can be readily absorbed every night will most cutely yield the desired re- suits in three or four weeks' time- "u "au """" w,e """r y nouse but do take off that high, tight collar n,hl8, m,nd ' oy.e' s 2 spe?lc" he swaU whenever posslble-at least in your Iotle, hl? ,rat' ether with a peace room, when something soft and uncon- ' "v brc1 he hntl '" ,h'z mouih at tho fining can bo twisted about the throat, I t,me' niownted Klz silent steed & kon although It would be better durlna ln,,(3e " hiz weary wy wlth revenge the course of treatment to remove all n ',,s "ai't- coverlnc from the neck whenever thn s'.lriitest opportunity offers.

A swan-like throat sounds well ln poetry nnd old-time romances, but It Is fast becoming too literal. Saucy Bess. MOSCOW.

It waz abowt this time that Mr. FraUUn (now groan 2 man's estate) married tho yung lady who had chuckled at him az he enterd Phllly.
