GOSIP OF 4 EAREST MARGUERITE: This is ‘the first Saturday that we have not been arrayed in_curl papers waiting for the stroke of 5 to take them down for a matinee tea. However, we've had a tempest in our own little teapot that is a gale compared to the gentle zephyrs of gossip that float one's way at a bona fide tea. The girls have just gone home, and from their temperature you'd | never guess that it's colder than Green- land. For we had a very spirited discussion—a sort of indignation meeting—in fact the girls fairly oozed anger to such an ex- tent that had the hapless youths' dis- cussed wandered in they would have been inundated. 1t's all about champagne. We were dis- cussing the late Oakland - punch bowl For now i forevermore cotillon punch and circus lemonade are to be synono- mous. Well, we shed a crocodile tear or two over the fact that the papers had taken it up. Then we played basket-ball with the names of the two girls who are sup- | posed to have bowed too often to the flowing bowl. From cotillon punch of course we evo- luted to champagne, though it is a long step. We really talked above a whis about the ‘“now you see it and now.you don't” act which sure to take place whenever there is champagne in sight. At the last big ball, where it flowed like water, some of the ung men made no pretense of hiding their preference for the poppery cork rather than basking in the sunshine of our smiles So we compared notes and decided that something must be dohe. We determined that we must ostracize somebody and make the criminal pay for his crime. to this point we were unanimous when it came to a question of whom tb ostracize we weakened and showed the vulnerable spot in our armor df reform. For, one by one, as the culprits’ names were mentioned, it became apparent that the eligible voungsters were to be al- lowed license while the non-eligible were not even to have liberty. useless to try to make the girls that they were giving the priv- a dollar and cents standard. As would have to play ileges by a matter of fact one Diogenes with a search light to find a youth in our set who has not either been born with a thirst, acquired it, or had it thrust upon him. I myself am either for wholesale reform or none ‘at all. Despite my protests, however, the girls drew up a list of those who are to be giveén one more chance. If you miss several names in the so- | ciety column after Lent you will know the herefore of it all. Tuesday evening I went to the Century Club and fell into print at the head of the list of “‘among those present.”” Gen- eral Shafter and staff in gold lace were the occasion of the younger people adorn- ing Century Hall. You know we can not belong to the club until we have rna(‘l‘fed of discretion and discernment. The of essays on 'ologies and 'isms did ghost not disturb our enjoyment, for we did not understand them any more than their au- thors did. Wednesday afternoon there were two lunch parties. Gertie Carrol gave one to Mrs. Fred Kohl, and.Emily Carolan was hostess at the other, with Mirjam Moore as guest of honor. 1 have not yet discov- ered the secret of being in two places at once, o Mabel and I drew straws and the family was represented at both l\lnc'h- cons. Mabel held up her end at G‘Qrsle 8, while I did myself proud at Emily Laro': lan's. All Emily’s “‘bright particulars’ were there. Carrie Taylor, Cora Smed- berg, the Morgans and Miss - Cadwalla- der. Cora Smedberg has become accli- mated once more, after her long absence. We chaffed her about her golf playlng, but she took it so good-naturedly that it turned the edge off our fun. “While Cora was East we heard enthu- siastic reports of her playing. So we all held our breath at the last game, whén she was to take part for the first time. Well, Eleanor Morrow made the course in eighty-three strokes, and Therese l\r_!ur- gan in elghty-one strokes. Genevieve Carolan and Cora made no returns. Ho v- ever, Cora says she will get in some play- ing that will bolster up her tottering rep- utation as a golfer.

Although Mr. Astor had led a life main- 1y devoted to business interests, he found great pleasure in the socfety of literary men. r. Cogswell made his home with us for some years after the closing of his famous school, but finally went to reside with Mr. Astor, attracted partly by the latter's promise to endow a public lfbrary in the city of New York. ‘his was ac- complished after some delay. and the doc- tor was for many years director of the Astor Library. He used to relate some humorous anecdotes of excursions which he made with Mr. Astor. In the course of one of these the two gentlemen -took supper together at a hotel recently opened. Mr. Astor remarked, ‘‘This man will never succeed.” “Why not?” inquired the other. ,‘Don’t you see,” replied the financier, “what large lumps of sugar he puts in the sugar bowl?"” g Once, as they were walking slowly to a pilot hoat which the old gentleman had chartered for a trip down the harbor, Dr, Cogswell said, “Mr. Astor, I have just been calculating that this boat costs you cents a minute.”” Mr. Astor at once hastened his pace, reluctant to waste so much money.—Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, in The Atlantic. e The friends of a popular preacher. who recently died in Louisville, Ky., under- took to raise a fund for his famflys One man gave his note for ninety days for a certain amount, and when the commit- tee explained to him that cash was need- ever seen her, and confessed between courses that if Ed Pringle had not asked her she would have put the question her- self.

In fact, Ethel is given to doing things in the superlative degree. She’s not only counted among the best dressed girls but she’s one of the most daring riders and is acknowledged the best swimmer of all the girls. Aside from' being such a mag- nificent: swimmer, she is one girl in ten thousand who looks as well in the water as out of it. - Mrs, Henry Dodge, who is an aunt of her husband-to-be, says thdt he thinks Ethél ‘the’ quintessence of per- fection. “And so they lived happy ever afterward” will probably be the post- script to their marriage ceremony.

Continued from Page Twenty-five. the note in cash if discount it, which prejudices and be persuaded to- take some reliable work on palmistry and study it for - themselves, they Wwithout doubt come to the conclusion that in the words of Hispanus “It was indeed a study weorthy of the attention of an elevated and inquiring - mind." It has come to be an acknowledged fact that the skilled palmist can pre- dict with unerring certdinty the future, and the famous pathologist, Professor Charcot, has demonstrated by his in- vestigations into the higher functions of the nervous system .that certain | tracts of cells in the brain enable a per- ception of futurity, though the impres- slon s not definitely recorded by memory. You must remember - that, by our modern teaching, palmistry is divided into two branches—chirognomy and cheiromancy. 3 outward shape of the hand-and of its members, the latter divination by the lines, mounts and marks on the palm of the hand. I have no doubt. that the public is rapidly learning to accept these facts | with regard to palmistry. Even in my own brief experience.l have known hundreds-of cases where one visit, or even a letter;~has insured-conviction. There are §0 many people:who come to me with just the same confidence as | they’would to a doctor. The distinc: structure of the hand has-been studied by such’ pard, ‘ Desbarroles, Lamartine, Victor Hugo. Why, to.come to our own coun- try, it is a well known fact that George ‘Washington and Abraham Lincoln were | firm believers in palmistry. Another very: important departure of the new science is the value which Wwe attach to the readings of right and left hands. "In former days, when palm- istry was littlé more than a supersti- tion, it was generally supposed that the left.hand only should be read, because | it was nearest the heart. This ignorant idea has’long since been exploded; fact, In my practice, I depend -even more on the indications given by the right hand than by the left. The cor- rect principle to follow is the motto: {The left is the hand we are bor: with; the right is the hand we maki The truth of this is obvious, because we use the right hand so much more than the left. Another proof is that left-handed people have the lines much more clearly marked on the left hand, so that in their case I should reverse the rule. Here is a practical illustration of the manner in which we make our read- ings. Here are fac-simile reproduc- tions of the hands of the most famous men and women of the day. ~Let us examine some of them according to' the laws of palmistry. But-first you must understand something about the way in which the lines of the hand are classified. There are seven important Jines and seven lesser ones. The seven fmportant lines are: The line of life, which embraces the Mount of Venus. The line of head, which crosses the center of the hand. The line of heart, which runs parallel to that of the head, at the base of the fingers. The Girdle of Venus, found above the line of heart and generally encircling the Mounts of Saturn and the Sun. The line of health, which runs from Mount Mercury down the hand. The line of sun, Which rises generally on the plain of Mars and ascends the hand to the Mount of the Sun. 3 The, line of fate, which occupies th center of the hand, from the wrist to the Mount of Saturn.

Sarah Bernhardt’s hand is very | strongly marked and of a highly devel- | oped order. Love of the beautiful and | artistic is very clearly indicated; aiso | a strong willed and impulsive nature. | { She is thoroughly bohémian in all her | ways and tastes, has a strong vein of | Superstition, but no spirituality what- ever. Her love of pleasure blinds her to all ideas of propriety; she makes her | own moral laws and rules absolutely | every one who comes in her way. Her deeply marked lines of fate and sun | show that she has had great success | {in her professional career. For an act- | ress this is the true type of hand. | Here is a hand of a very different | | type—that of Colonel Robert Ingersol. | | Note the heaviness and clumsiness of | | the palm, with the short fingers. This | indicates a materialistic mind. No man | could, be spiritually inclined with that | | hand,” He is moral, certainly, but sim- | ply from an ethical, practical stand- point. The lines indicate great firmness | and determination, superlative courage, | | combined with strong family. love, and no superabundance of imagination. | The man is thoroughly practical and | | does not idealize any person .or thing, | though he has very strong' afféctions. | | The head line drops just enough to give | | him the love of the beautiful and an in- terest in literary and artistic matters. | ho “strictly | to | | He is, above all, a man w | minds his own busifiess.
