~ BIZ OF advice TO you, Mr.. Man.
Instead OF looking long and
! earnestly at a girls piquant.
Il laughing face, look at her
hands and see if they tell you any,
thing that is well worth knowing. For.
even il you don't know it, you can tell
for a certainty whether she will make
good wife or not by the way she
brushes an imaginary speck from your
coat or arranges a flower in your but
tonhole. You needn't sniff the air and
look wise for you really cannot afford
TO let such golden opportunity pass.
Watch the way she passes you your
teacup, and you can tell, if you are any
judge Of human nature, whether she
viii hurl that self-same cup at YOU the
morning after your first night out. or
whether she win devote herself to bath
ing and fussing over your splitting
head, and have the common sense 10
delay her lecture until the world is
looking just a trihe more cheerful and
your stomach is a bit more settled and
consequently up to a serious talk.
There are an infinite number Of sug-
gestive things that you can discover
about miladi fair if you will study her
hand scientifically; but, remember, first
of al, that il is not quite the easiest
subject on earth to master. For in
stance, note the way she gives you the
tip Of her dainty fingers in shaking
hands, and you may judge of the
warmth and depth of her love and the
sincerity OF her heart. True. il is a
bit awkward to note your best girls
fingers when they are encased in your
own. and you cannot very web mi
nutely investigate, even if the idea
suddenly occurred to you, the lines in
her hand when you are squeezing il
and murmuring sweet nothings
But there will come an hour when
you can't manage to say a new or
clever thing to save your life, and then
is the time 20 sit up and take notice, as
II were.
Well bred people can control the
muscles of their faces to an astonish-
ing degree. but no woman, from Ma
rianne. the actress, to Mary Ann, the
cook, can control the twitching hands
that are always such a give-away. 1t
isn't such a difficult art to smile when
you feel like crying, to purr when you
feel like kicking the house into spIint-
ers. but If you can hold the telltaIe
hands and fingers passive and quiet
you should be classed with the nine
wonders OF the world.
There arc hosts Of little tricks that
are hers by right, but trust every
daughter Of Eve TO make the very most
OF them. For instance: There is the
by handing her a glass of water you
may find out to your complete salts
faction whether she is coquette and
The San Francisco call., 1904-03-13

will be master OF your own domain,
even if you feel inclined to put your
head on the best white silk cushion
and your feet on the white Swiss bed
flounce.
With her as. a wife you viii live
eternally in an atmosphere of romance
and billing and cooling, but the house
keeping will have to run itself. When
you have left her to her own devices
she is much more apt to plant ferns
and roses in the front yard than she
is to mend your unattractive but nee
essary wearing apparel, and when the
flowers quite satisfy her she takes the
latest novel, hunts comfy corner and
wanders farther into the land of senti-
ment and love making. Don't blame
her, for the girl that uses the second
and third finger unconsciously could
never be expected or. what is more,
trained to be practical. 1t simply isn't
in her.
The listless hand is not to be toler-
ated for a single instant, for hand
that droops wearily from the wrist as
though it didn't have the strength to
hold itself up denotes a weakness Of
character and a stupidity of mind that
are impossible to forgets or to easily
forgive. Look out for her. AS a rule
she is lazy, and she don't care who
knows it. She thinks she Is a wonder
and as a consequence doesn't try to
be anything worth cultivating, so she
only succeeds in being a tiresome bore
that makes the very best hand of a
typical sour old maid.
OF characteristic hands there is just
one more kind-the masterful one.
Instead of brushing the dust away ten
derly or carefully, she opens her palm
and brushes it off in a calm, broad
fashion and as though she were doing
her duty. Make up your mind right
then and there that she is the athletic
girl who can sit a mean horse as tran
GULLY as she can dance in a ballroom.
She is one of the advanced woman's
clubs sort of a lassie and revels in
nothing quite as much as bossing her
fellows about and making it known
and felt that she has the biggest finger
in the pie. At home she may attempt
to read the riot act if you arrive an
hour late for dinner, or, worse still.
fail to come at all; but, generally
speaking, if you can convey to her
intelligent shrewd mind that you are
her lord and master and intend to be
such to the end of the chapter she
will generally cool down and make a
better, truer woman by being in touch
with the men and women who are in
terested in the doings Of the world
How many girls do you know that
have a little habit Of pigeon-holing a
man and talking to him an instant in
this charming confidential fashion
Such a girl is wise one, for she makes
The San Francisco call., 1904-03-13

Won feel as though you were the only
person on earth that she would dream
of being so familiar with. Give her a
bow of ribbon or a sprig or green ana
watch her manipulate it. Daintlly'
jauntily, with her hand upturned from
the wrist and the object held by the tip
of her ngers will she turn and twist IL
until she is quite satisfied, and IN this
selfsame, alluring manner Will she coax
the money from your pocket until she
has plenty for her purpose. She hasn't
studied the arts Of the world for
naught.
Have you noticed the girl who throws
her hands out wildly or who grabs at
anything or everybody within reach
when she is frightened She'll lead you
a merry, merry life. for she is as full
of moods and tantrums as an egg Is OF
meat. Instead Of making marriage her
forte in life she ought to take up the
stage as a profession, for the dramatic
hand never fails to have long, slender
fingers and a sinewy back.
A woman's face may be perfectly ir-
resistible, but her hands, If they are dt
all expressive, are perfectly fascinating.
No matter how soft and white, how
loaded down with rare and beautiful
Jewels the fat hand repels rather than
attracts. It is too complacent, too self
satisfied, and at a glance one may read
ilv know that its possessor hasn't the
least particle Of fluffy, rollicking sense.
And another hand that fails to at
tract attention is the one that suggests
the thumb too plainly. Without know
inc exactly why you may like girl,
vet there is a weird something about
her that will not out Look at her
thumbs carefully and If they are too
prominent and are used too express
lively make it your business to spend
your evenings elsewhere, for the thumb
expresses that which is lowest and the
coarsest.. and it was meant distinctly
for use and not for beauty.
If YOU would test some girl that you
find is stealing your heart study her
hands and If you remember the little
snuggly way that il rested in your own
more than the color Of her eyes or
hair you may know that she will guide
you gently and patiently through life
and you had better go no further In
your search. OF all hands, the hand
of hands. that attracts and holds at
tention is the one that laughs and sobss
that fiutters and firts and that ex-
presses emotions of all kinds, for she
is the girl that will never grow tire
some or be a hopeless bore, even after
she has turned the comfortable age OF
forty, for variety is the spice or
her life and she will make it her busi-
ness to see that your home is so at
tractive that your friends will flock to
vour fireside and will rise up and call
you both blessed.

n NCE upon a time there lived in
the town of Splurgeville an aw-
\ fully nice girl. Her name was
Bedelia.
Bedelia was old enough to have her
own say about it and was laying for
chance to prove it to some man who
was sober and industrious. Mother
urged her to make a few concessions
just for the sake of gaining time.
Whenever one of the young gentle
men dropped in of an evening, mother
would get into her fiowered wrapper,
touch up her complexion and pfance in
to the parlor to extend the glad hand
and be real pleasant. No matter which
one it happened to be, mother would do
her best to have him feel that when the
proper time came he, of all the men in
the world, could bank on her approval.
After putting it up to him so strong
that it really wasn't worth while leav-
ing anything to his imagination, moth
er would beg to be excused while she
ran for the lemonade and layer cake
When the refreshments were over it
would be time for the caller to be going.
Bedelia would see him to the door and
say, Now do come back real soon.
Well surely have better luck next
time" She used these lines every night
for about six consecutive seasons.
In the course of time mother became
desperate. So she called BedeIia into

must be just so. When you come
home to your dinner you may be more
than reasonably certain that it will
not only be well cooked, but on time
and served on spotless cloth and in
a dainty fashion. But like all other
good things she has her faults. Ten
to one she will insist upon your wiping
your feet on the door mat before you
enter her spick and span hall and she

would not enjoy in the least having
her exquisitely clean curtains perme-
ated with cigar smoke, but if you want

doubtless you will always find it
clean and religiously hanging on the
rack in its own allotted place.

from your lapel softly, slowly and ten

her hand is the senr1menuaI one, you
may be sure. She would delight in
walking couple of blocks every even
ing to meet you and then keep you
waiting half an hour for the potatoes
to cook. She is made up of moods and
whims and as long as you remember
to kiss her before leaving the house
she will be cheerful and happy and
you need never worry but that you

MARKER NEVER BoLrED.
Says He Has Always Voted Regular
Democratic Ticket


dispatch from New York says: While
1t Is well known to the more intimate
friends of Chief Judge Alton B. Parker that
ne voted for Bryan for President in 1896
ana 19OO, the question to his position on
these occasions has been again raised nv
Representative Huffman one of the dele
gates to the Ohio democratic state conven-
ton. In an interview In the World Repre-
sentative Huffman said:
Il will be for Parker If nominated. but
the nomination should go to a man who
was regular in 1896 and 1907
The observation of the Ohio representa-
tive indicates that some of the democratic
leaders, especially in other states have
forgotten Judge Parker's own statement
on the subject. When he was nomina fed
Tor chief judge of the court of appeals in
1887 Judge Parker was asked to define in a
formal manner the position he took in the
Bryan campaign of 1896. This he did in the
following letter:
New York. September 20, 1897.
Hon. Elliott Danforth, chairman of the
state democratic committee.
MY dear Danforth: 1t was entirely right
for you to bring to my attention the cues
ton which the sincere friends of Mr.. Bryan
are pressing upon you.
can say to you frankly and sincerely
that you can assure them that I voted for
the last national nominee of the demo-
cratic party, as have voted for all the
regular democratic nominees since I had
vote. Yours very sincerely
ALTON B. PARKER
1t is well known to Judge Parker's friends
that he also voted for Bryan in 1900.

gun, or can begin while Great Britain's ally
is at war with Russia, it is an open secret
that the real end and aim of Sir Charles mis-
sion is to so improve the relations between
Great Britain and Russia during the war as
to render possible at Its conclusion such an
understanding, which is known to be close
to the heart of King Edward.
1t is understood that one of the possible
causes of misunderstanding between the
two countries already has been removed by
the acceptance by Russia of Great Britain's
assurances regarding the purpose of the
British mission to Tibet.
