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

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

Interest. It Is an open tournament, all

Miss Emellno Dunn, whoso lovely
pictures painted abroad by herself at
tracted such favorable comment at a

lectures for tho benefit of the Young
Women's Christian association, Nov. C.
There will be a parlor talk, probably
at the homo of Mrs. E. II. nipple, fol
lowed bv one In the evening at the
association rooms.
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.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Ben Dlmmlck great
ly enjoyed their trip abroad, during the
time which was chlolly spent In Swit
zerland. In Paris later they had the
pleasure of again meeting F. Hopkln
son Smith, who, with his wife, had
spent the month of September ln
Venice, according to a time-honored
custom of this versatile gentleman. 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. Scranton
found herself quarantined there for
some weeks with her son, Worthlng

measles. They are now on their home

Tho bankers were an unusually flno
looklng body of men. Tho visitors,
however, did not cause our own rep
resentatives to surfer by comparison.
In fact, If our bankers were lined up
they would by far surpass a similar
number of picked men from among tho ,
members of the association In other i
cities There nre Mr. Linen, Mr. Phil- ',

then where could one stop In the cate

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. It
M
la so uncomfortable and makes such
holes In her nllownnee for laundry
bills almost npproachlng tho holes
nestling close to her oollar bone but
It Is the ccnect thli g an 1 sho can wear
' It np iiinrntnrr ntid nffntMrwn utUllA

fwt every week, will give many of
r old clothes to the poor, will relln-
ulsli her rather suto chances for the
favor or a certain very popular man
hut give up that high collar, never,

be covered and the levely curves will
flit back like the angels they are. 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

keep on trying to see how many extra

probably be built In such giraffe-like
proportions that there wilVbe iv occasion
to write dissertations on development

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

It waz Mr. Pen's act ov seperatlng

cawsd the polts ov tho day 2 sing so
bewtlfully & so aptly, "Mustek hath
charms 2 sooth the savldge," awiso,
"The Pen lz mightier than the sord."
The next noted rczldent of Phllly
waz Benjamin Franklin. He reecht
tho sltty 1 morning carrying a loaf ov
bred under each artn & eating a 3rd.
Eny unblnst reeder who haz ever
trldo the abuv trick will agree with

ability 2 perform the deed.
Sutch a man waz B. Franklin. Az
he sawntord lcshurly down a sertcn
street (the name ov witch lz withheld
4 reezons best known 2 tho rlter) the
even tenner ov hlz way waz suddenly
interrupted by a shrill, childish &
Barkastlck chuckle that dissipated the
stillness ov the hither 2 quiet & luvly
morning. Ben waz stung 2 the quick
(I say "Ben" after do thawt, 4 at that
time Mr. F. waz but a boy. There 1

witoh I will speaak anon, prove that
hlz surmize waz substanshally kor

that W. Pen wnz not the onley early

Benjamin (he iz now a yung man)
! startld a paper calld the Pensllvanla
Gazette. Hlz paper shood not. threw

with the Police Gazette. Benjamin's
paper kontained very llttel matter ov

ever, no longer konneckted with this
paper, having gone out ov the pub

It waz abowt this time that Mr.

STRONG NERVES
STRONG BODY
A vigorous constitution and power of en
durance, depends upon the nerves. The nerves
give force to all organs of the body. The
system is kept clean of morbid material. The
blood circulates quickly, exhiLrates; feeds
the muscles and tissues with wholesome
nourishment. Strong nerves keep strength
of body increasing, and the muscles firm.
PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
MAKES NERVE STRENGTH.
Robert Fuller, af Alexandria, S. D., writes: "I was very
nervous and weak, with pain in the small of my back and
nervous headache. I could sleep but very little. I took dif
ferent medicines which did me no good.
"Paine's Celery Compound changed my whole system
from weakness to health and vigor, after taking only four bot
tles. I do not believe there is a better medicine in existence."
