MASSAGES BY MAIL " FEATUREOF SUIT Secrets of "Beauty by Mail" College Divulged in a Damage Suit.
Music
OMAHA, Dec. 16. All the secrets Of the "Beauty by Mail" college were exposed to a grinning audience of Omaha people when the "Mme. Josephine Boyd Beauty System," formerly of Omaha, was called into the district court In this city to defend a suit of $5,000 brought by a young woman whose picture the college used in one of its advertisements without getting the consent of the girl. The plaintiff in the case did not take treatment from the "experts" connected with the system, but the worry caused by seeing her name in advertisements caused her to lose twenty-eight pounds, she testified. According to the story brought out, ''Mme. Josephine Boyd" was a myth, that name being given the school because it "sounded well." The photograph of "Mme. Boyd" was a picture of an Omaha girl who agreed to I "stand" for It. And all the many extperta who made "annual trips to ParMs, Vienna and other European capitals In search of the latest beauty secrets" were rolled into one in the per-
ton of Harry B. Browne, who created Pthe "system" out of his own mind,
rwlth the assistance of a barber col lege down the street.
But the college did a business of $75
day, just the same. And the offi
clals of the concern used to run races
each morning to see which one could
get to the office first, open the mail, and rake tn the dollars, so a witness,
formerly an employe, stated.
The suit was brought by Mrs. Lillian Bell, a pretty widow "by grace of
the court." Her photograph was print
led in the advertisement of the "sys
tern as one of the instructors therein
The chief attraction for the crowd T)f women which filled the courtroom
came when Harry Browne, originator
of the school, was placed on the wit
ness stand and was asked to show that lie was competent to act as guide and
monitor for ambitious homeliness.
Browne gave just a single example f his high art how to make a perfect
j Cupid's bow on any mouth, be it hard fand cruel or dimpling and kind. "It Ja the easiest thing in the world," said I the Instructor. "You just place four j fingers on one side of the face, the I thumb on the other, and stroke gently 'downward. The result will be a perfect Cupid's bow If you keep it up long enough." "Future hopes" was what played the "wild" with Browne. All the extravalirant terms used In his selling litersjture were based on "future hopes." His text books, in which he described his various imaginary instructors ias people who had spent their lives 'In travel, seeking with devotion the secrets of beauty, he said were written honestly though built on "future ihoyes." Browne admitted that his claims about "Mme. Boyd" having spent years jln perfecting herself to teach beauty 'culture were made on "future hopes." "Then the inyiRinary trip to Paris, jtaken by an imaginary Mme. Boyd, Vwas built on future hopes, too?" askjed the attorney. - "It was," admitted Browne sadly.

The following concerning the organization is of interest: Ohio Wesleyan university is the posessor of a Glee club which is a great credit to the institution. Despite a steady downpour of rain, Gray chapel was almost filled by an enthusiastic audience at the annual concert on Thursday evening. The program throughout was pleasing and showed evidence of consistent and diligent practice. The work of the Glee club quartette was exceptionally fine. The songs during the latter part were all

ABOUT MRS. DOWNING. Lulu Jones Downing, of Chicago, a former resident of Richmond, composer-pianist, is winning success with her work wherever she is heard. Looking over the many clippings received it might be of interest to publiah the following criticism in the Galesburg (111.) -Evening Mail of Friday, November 17. 1911: The esthetic sense were given their turn Thursday afternoon during the rendition of the program on Music and Art. One of the most wonderfully pleasing, enjoyable and entrancing musical programs ever offered an audience in this city was given by Lulu
Jones Downing, one of Illinois foremost descriptive composers, at the piano and Beatrice Hubbell-Plummer, soprano.
All of the music on the program was
of Mrs. Downing's own composition and demonstrated her entire fitness to
be classed as one of the leading composers of the age.
The first three songs on the pro
gram were "Appariations, somewhere" and "Life's Twilight."
Following these Mrs. Downing read
the "Pipes of Pan," by Cecil Fanning, Illustrating her reading with musical
descriptions.
The next songs were two child's
songs, "Oo to Sleep song" ana in tne
Night."
Following these were two piano se
lections (mood poems), "Sunset and Evening Bell" and "From Memory Land," by Mrs. Downing.
The musical program was closed by
a series of songs depicting various
musical character sketches. These
served the applause which they received. The entertainment was a decided success and the boys are deserving of much praise. The Delaware Daily Gazette. I am indeed glad to write this note of honest commendation of the O. W. U. Glee club. Their concert gae splendid satisfatcion, and the young men themselves were so gentlemanly
in every way that they wcui the hearts of the people. Their treatment of me
is also worthy of note. They went over the whole program so as to be sure there would be nothing objectionable in it for the church, and treated me with such kindly courtesy that I shall never forget it. They will surely be given a royal welcome if ever they tome our way again. Jesse Swank,
Van Wert, Ohio.

But the railroads and traction lines were not the only means of transportation into Wayne county's shopping center, for large numbers of farmers drove to the city in automobiles and other vehicles today. The livery stables were filled with buggies and the principal streets were lined with them. The streets were fairly crowded even during the early morning hours, many local residents as well as visitors desiring to take advantage of morning shopping when the Christ-
