New York that Police Commissioner

these fakirs. For years the ignorant
poor have been swindled by unscrupu-

who advertise freely. A list OF the

Police Commissioner McAdoo and he
will assign two plain clothes men TO
the work OF driving them from their

not fewer than 800 fortune tellers who

One of New York's wealthy women

might earn nor purely from her in
terest in the art. She has studied
singing herself, knows its principles
from study and practice and is quite

has undertaken. But had it not been
for her desire to help a teacher in

never have undertaken to transmit
her knowledge to others. The desire
to keep together the pupils of teach

of New York's handsomest homes to
take their singing lessons from a
teacher whose income is certainly not
less than $4,000 a year.

Made man a naked thing.

And thorns OF love to sting.

Vibrant to joy and pain:
They made him as a reed whose win
Is bent by any rain.
They made him as glass revealed
For every mood to dim,
Then gave him laughter as q shield
Between the world and him
And gave him robe of words to hide
The naked soul, afraid.
And cloak OF jests that none beside
Might know this man they made.

Who wears the mask of happiness
Upon the face OF woe.
