fair consideration. After spending a few
hours at the Auditorium another two hours

where special attention Is called to the
electrical fountain 20 be seen only at
night. The ladies. however are most in
terested in the baby incubator, where very
delicate infants are reared by artificial
means until they are entirely mature and
can be cared for without this process.
The little ones lie in sleeping condi-
ton in glass cases made to accommodate
the requirements of their condition.
Another OF the attractive midway at

iognomist." Her quarters are largely
patronized and ladies and gentlemen who
crowd into this section are compelled to
stand aud wait their turn, so eager Is the
desire to know their own character and
fate by the lines Of their lace and hands.
Leah" comes TO Houston with a reputa-
ton above that OF the average palmist
and her work is entirely satisfactory as
evinoed by those who pass under her pro-
fessiona skill.
