Naturally I stoppved to sec what the attraction was,” said Lcla Yorke, who had agreed to con- tribute her “spicl” to the Hobby Club. “Under rosy lights amid luxurious plants and flowers two of the darlingest youngsters, dressed like Gypsies, stood in front of a screen of fimy a glowing electric log fire. ment’ magnetically drew customers into the restasrant with the hopeful anticipation #hat the fortune teller might predict a glamorous future for them.
