18 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 1%96. HE past week, socially speaking, was neither as quiet nor s uninter- esting as we were led to suppose. | Not a dey went by without some | social divertisement, which is as | it should be on Easter week. Of course, every one naturally looks for- | ward to the private theatricals to be given by Mrs. Hager to-morrow evening at the Native Sons’ Hall. This will be the event of the Easter se: son, and an unqualified success is assured, Mrs. Hager is the leader of local society and her entertainments have always been qualified by rare tact and originality. Leo Cooper, who is rehearsing the ama- teurs, reports more than satisfactory re- | sults. The lady participants will wear some exquisite gowns, and the stage set- to be dainty, appropriaste and | There will be no elaborate | ns of the hall; in fact, such an rrangement would be absurd in the ex- treme. Bunting and potted palms, how | ever, will be used to take away the bare | effect of a public hall. | Preceding the performance there is to be a series of three living pictures — “La Tosca,”” after Harburg’s celebrated - ture; “Summer Moon,” by Leighton, and “‘Reveries.”” It would be well for those who will at- tend to bearin mind that it is imperative | that cards of admission be presented at| the door; also, that it is a full-dress affair, and that bonnets will not be allowed on the floor. The performance will begin at 9 sharp, and the audience, it is hoped, will be seated before the play begins. There is to be dancing, provided the young folks so desire it, after the perform- ance. Another interesting event announced for next week is the wedding of Miss Fanny Crocker, daughter of Mrs, Clark Crocker, | and Robert C. McCreery, to be celebrated | on Saturday, ihe 18th, at the residence of the bride, 1609 Sutter street. The cere- mony will take place at noon, and about eighty guests, relatives and intimate friends only, will attend. Card parties are once again fashionable and there are several delightful ones an- nounced for next week. Mrs. Asa R. Wells will entertain herfriendsata euchre i the 14th, and Mrs. F.

THE PADEREWSKI HAND. A PROFESSOR OF PALMISTRY SECURES A VERY GOOD IMPRESSION IN LAMPBLACK. | “This is the wizard hand that works miracles, the dextrous sweep of which over the ivory keys sets women into ecstatic hysterics and drives men to drink through jealousy.” J. B. Hargett, professor of palmistry sat before a table in his office, upon which lay a sheet of blackened paper, bearing the imprint of a hand. Every line of the hand was shown, even to the very finest markings of the cuticle. It was alarge hand, with fingers rather short in propor- tion and wide apart. ! “Itis the truly artistic hand,” said the | professor contemplatively. *‘Itisthe hand of Paderewski. The impression? Ob, nothing more than a sheet of lampblack. I secured the impression at Los Angeles.”’ “I met the professor with some friends I at his car. They were about to pull out when the thought occurred o me. Pade- rewski was perfectly willing, but when I made the preparation of lampblack his private secretary was very much alarmed with the evident doubt as to the effect on | that wonderful hand. I reassured him | | with the explanation that it was nothing more dangerous than plain lampblack. Paderewski placed his hand on the paper, but did not press heavily enough and the | impression was poor. This is the second | attempt, which is much_better. | “What do its lines indicate ? Here is the | reading which I made atthe time,”” and the professor read from a manuscript as follows: | “The first impression that I got from this hand was that 1t was the product of a | cold country. [ts grasp and texture were | those of a baseball-player. Its finer pow- ers were, however, apparent in the touch. It shows the hereditary power of cold re- gions and nothing in the development in- cident to blue skies and balmy breezes. | The skin and formation indicate har hood. It is made for hard work and bears the evidence of having done Lard work. Itiscapable of remarkable skill. Itistruly the artistic hand. The emotional and im- aginary qualities are strongly marked— | the qualities essential to success in his calling. There are four native eles ments necessary to the success of an artist, and this hand indicates their possession. The first is Ieelins, which gives desire, enthusiasia, force. The next is imagination, which gives expression. The third is not a small element in itself, ambition, persistence, | {vumeuce; the last the quality of execution, his hand possesses these fundamental qualitie: Nothing short of perfection will satisfy the ambition of this unequaled artist. Native strength, })ln ical, intel lectual, moral and skiliful—all these are indicated by the form and construction of the hand. Ideality is strongly indicated. “There is nothing comely, dainty or charming about this hand. It has the anality of a high order of mentality, friendship, honesty, good character and hard labor. “The marks of the hard 1abor are upon it. I had not had hold of a hand which impressed me more with sterling worth and honest apolication than this. It does not need the deceptive arts of the medium or clairvoyant to indicate its quality. It plays upon two sets of chords at the same time; tne one in the piano and the other in the breast of the auditor. He strikes both with like force and facility and both respond with their own music. There are signs in this hand to show that there had be'n souls struck with deep and lasting music. The owner has had guite a num- ber of love experiences from the age of 16 to the age of 34. These experiences are dotted here quite thickly at the rate of three or four stalks to a hill. Itappearsat about the age of 27 there was a marriage. The marriage record is placed at about that day. ~After mature manhood the record of flirtation almost disappeared. *“There is a strong headline bisecting in- tellectnality with real and strong affection. The affection like the skill is strong and 1deal, hard to catch. There is indicated just enough of the mathematical and philosophical in his nature to balance the emotional and imaginative qualities, There is a great tendency to travel, large sensitiveness, a long Iife line and good intuition.” Slodibeig St NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. e e A A 107=-109 FrosT sSTREET, 1220=1222=-1224 MARKET STRERT.
