Palmistry may possibly be the veri-
table science which its professors pro-
fess TO believe II, says the London
Graphic, but even the most convinced
of its practitioners Cif any such there
be- should admit that their case has
been given away rather badly by Nine
Retta Aubrey. who was convicted al
BlackpOol. Madame was consulted by
two ladies whose ring fingers bore no
wedding rings, whence the unsuspect-
ing prophecies concluded that they
were single and forthwith proceeded
10 endOw them with prospective hus-
hands according to the familiar rules
of the game. One of Them was TO
marry clergyman, and the other a
rent collector with a dark complex
ion and ginger mOustache. who blushed
a lot" There is a wealth Of detail
about that description winch should
carry conviction to the most skeptical,
but, unfortunately for Madame her two
clients We're the wives of local detec-
tives who had disguised themselves as
maidens by the simple device of TAX
irg off their wedding rings. Probably
Madame feels that this method of pro-
cedure was not playing he game fairly
The public however. will incline to
the opinion that if palmist cannot
tell a married woman without her we'd
ding ring, palmistry can scarcely claim
to rank among the number of the exact
sciences.
