POINTS IN THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF MRS.
CHADWICK

An originally ignorant woman who came to pos
sess highly developed knowledge of human nature
Her criminal career shows logical evolution of
method.
Certain signs of degeneration bear more less re-
lation to her development.
Her eyes suggest degeneration, the left being at
lower level than the right.
The ocular weakness gives the eyes a peculiar
shifty expression, common among neurotic individ-
uals..
: Her photographs show hard, cruel face the jaw
suggesting determination
She exercised the subtlest kind of intelligence and
personal influence was secondary.
She stole for the qualification of vanity and to
keep up kind of appearance
Like Nine. Humbert she appears to have been cal
lous, sentimental at times and always cunning
Her methods need not imply the exercise of any
occult power nor anything but the peculiar person
ality of remarkable woman.
She always exercised unusually efficient power
of suggestion
1t is difficult to find in her conduct any suggestion
of insanity or any mental state that would bring
with it irresponsibility.
She is the product of Goth century "hgh"
finance.

Christmas CHARITY

Christmas gift must express affection and goodwill
or it is meaningless
1t must give joy or it is failure.
There must be undivided pleasure in the giving or is
a mockery
Unless it does all these it is sacrilege.
1t is through the combination of them all that the
humblest little tokens treasured and Christmas is
made the gladdest day of all the year.
The giving of presents has become the chief feature
OF the festival It has made the celebration of the
nativity take secondary place. Good will toward men is
recognized of equal Importance with glory of God in
the highest Material expressions of affection are in
themselves form of worship that in drawing friends
together in softenng antagonsms in dsseminat
ing cheer in relieving want and in intoxicating spirit of
charity lifts mankind closer to God and makes earth
nearer to heaven.
There be no hoer sentiment attached to gift on
that day than charity for it combines all that is good and
tender in human emotion.
There is double joy in charity for it besses two.
Charity comes nearer to spanning the Unreasonable
space between the sin of this life and the holiness of
heaven than any other blessing that knows.
IL in the fall of Adam there any quality that did
not degenerate If there anything saved from paradise
to remind humanity of what had been lost it was charity
There is much for all in Christmas if we but take it.
In giving to friends must not overlook the richer mine

fort to the needy and cheer to the downcast.
