Gowns intended to be worn in the

with tea gowns. They are made of

again, and Others which lock very
much the same, although assurance
may be given that they are OF the very
latest pattern. With the overheated
houses that modern civilization de-
mands, the wearing CT thin gowns in
the house is a very comfortable fash
ion, consequently lace b1tiste and veil

fashion, and a woman in her

There scarcely is a man or maid
alive who has not a secret desire to
have his or her fortune told-either
by the palmist, the cards CT even the
homedy tea cup, by which our grand
mothers set such store. AS Halloween
comes on apace superstition seems TO
flourish like the green bay tree of his
tory. Right in this line comes What
to Eat" with key to the mystery OF
the teacup, and it is given in its en-
tirety:
Finst, the one whose fortune is to be
told should drink a little Of the tea
while it is hot, and then turn out the
rest. being careful not to turn out the
grounds in doing so, and also not to
look at them, as it is bad luck.
Then she must turn the cup over, SO
that no water remains, for drops OF
water in the fairgrounds signify tears.
Next, she must turn the cup around,
slowly, toward her, three times, wish
ing the wish Of her heart as she turns
it.
After this she must rest it a minute
against the edge of a saucer-to court
luck.
Then the fortune teller takes it and
reads the fortune.
Three small dots in a row stand fo1
the wish If near the top it will soor
be realized. If at the bottom some time
will elapse.
Il the grounds are punched together
it signifies that all will be we'll with the
fortune seeker, but If they are scat
tered it means much the reverse.
A small specl near the top is let
ter. A large speck. a photograph, q
present Of some kind, what it is de
pending on the shape of the speck.

short or tall, according to their colcl
and length. A small one means a child
A thick one, a woman.

CONFESSED TO TAX FRAUDS

Chicago Consplr7cies Drove Two Men
to Suicide.
Chicago, Oct 31.-To State Attorney
Deneen and his uncle. Police Inspector
Wheeler. Luke Wheeler. the convicted
tax fixer. has revealed in all its rami-
fications the gigantic plot that col
lapsed with the discocery of the Ma
sonic Temple tax frauds. Unless the
present program shall be changed
Wheeler win go before the grand jury
and in a formal declaration under oath
reiterate the statements made to the
prosecutor.
Wheeler's confession places him in a
new light, and if accepted literally, re-
moves from him the stigma of the
charge OF building up a defense with
the tombstones of the dead. According
to Wheeler, the Masonic Temple fraud
was merely an incidental to an extern
sive series Of operations. reaching
back into the past and made possible
through lax methods, coupled with a
desire on the part of responsible promi-
nent business houses to evade taxation.
He said that a public official at Spring
field sought to blackmail the clique.
threatened exposure and prosecution
against one in particular and worried
him into ending his life. The second
suicide involved in the case was due,
Wheeler says, to fear the fugitive
(Wheeler) would confess when he was
brought back from Canada.

Colombian Revolution May End With

Panama, Colombia, Oct. 31.-There
is reason to believe that the Colombian
revolution will now end with little. If
any, further bloodshed Information
from a reliable source has been re-
ceived here that General Vargas San
tos, the military director Of the revolu-
tionists. has been negotiating a treaty
of peace in Costo Rica with a represen-
tative of the Colombian government.
Last week General Vargas Santos sent
a cable to Governor Salazar, asking
leave to come here to confer with the
governor personally. Yesterday Gen
eral Vargas Santos repeated this re-
quest. and Governor Salazar replied by
cable. telling him to come. Much is
expected from the approaching con-
ference between these two men. On
the isthmus there is now much hope
that internal peace will soon be an ae-
complished fact.
