This, of prophecy, especially with respect to things which concerned himself and his deéstiny, raised the veneration in’ which ‘we held the old gentleman to the high- est_point.” ‘The poet himself was roused to deep speculation’ by this un gift of his grandfather. Particularly did he nder upon the strange case of Herr 'xtqr and the promotions which bmght him to the position of mayor, or chief magistrate, of the important city of Frankfort-on-the-Main. While he was yet among the junior aldermen of the city, he announced to his wife one morning that he would soon be placed in the position of coun- cilor to the magistrate, a very impor- tant position. p “How can you suppose that?” said Mme. Textor. “The councilor is not 41I; he is not even very old.” “I dreamed. it last night,” replied her husband. “My dreams are never Wrong. Yes, I shall be councilor.” He went on to describe his dream. He had seemed to be in the regular council meeting, where everythihg, as usual, progressed according to schedule. “Suddenly, to my surprise,” went on Herr Textor, “the councilor got up from his seat adjoining that of the magistrate on the dals, descended the passed out of the d b out of oor.” To the amazement of Mme.

The circumstance was unusual. His proxy did not have a chance to draw until the two others had finished. ‘These both brought out silver balls, so that the action of Herr Textor's proxy was purely perfunctory. It was sald of Textor that he had the ability to kn;w when any one closely related to him was sick or dead, even though the person happened to be a long distance away. (Copyright, 1930.)

It may be baked as a scalloped dish, in which case more liquid should be added. To vary this dish, you may alid two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a cupful of chopped nuts, or instead of | one cupful of grated cheese you can use two cupfuls of cottage cheese. Scalloped Ham.

If your shoulders are too fat you can only “reduce them by reducing your whole body, but ¥ they are too your problem is much easler. For one thing, shoulders that are even a little fat look gross. Shoulders still too slen- der have a great deal of charm. Even awkwardness has charm, you know, and a great deal of youthfulness. But, not if the’ are too slender! Here are some suggestions for making | very thin shoulders fatter. Massage! This does help quite a bit, though by itself it will not be a cure for thinness. But if you rub the shoulders and the neck with olive oil or a good massage cream every few nights, massaging the oil or cream well into the skin, you will be pleased with the results, for the skin takes up a little of the oil and the massage really does the work. Exercise is the real way to make bad shoulders good. Hold your arms out straight in front of you and bring them sideways and back times.

It was noted today that the corner stone of the President’s house was laid on the 300th anniversary of the landing of Columbus—the day following his actual discovery of the New World.
