As New Thought Ia seeking knowledge
from the astrologer and the palmist as
well as the medium, experts in all lines are
found at the club. And they get prices
for their services that would make tho
ordinary fortune tellers turn green with
envy.
From IS to $40 Ia the price Of having your
horoscope cast by a club member, And,
palmist will ask prices that would mako
her less fortunate sister in n booth at Coney
Island dizzy.
The other club where they concentrate
Ia not quite so picturesque. because they
do not have any fortune telling there. The
man who does the heavy thinking part
when they concentrate calls himself
teacher Of mental engineering.
There. too, call was made during tho
noon hour
bevy OF women were concentrating
and listening VIII lie the mental engineer
made some remarks about tho soul. Ha
sat In q wille~ chair on a platform With
the light from the great bay window fall

man. bald, sad looking, and he wore white
waistcoat.
He told the women they could walk on
the water. or do anything else they chose
If they only thought So Then he gave
them this thought on which to concentrate:
Il am the physical embodiment Of invisible
power.
Every woman present held her eyes
tightly closed while she said 1t over In her
mind. All concentrated. the little noisy
clock on the shelf alone refusing 10 he
quiet. Street noises faded in the dim dis
lance. You were absolutely alone with
your own soul and that wretched clock
The situation was simply maddeni1g
The concentration wes something ike
this:
Il. am the physical embodiment Of In

You peep again. Another woman n big,

Another awful creak. The thin womans
effort at concentration has put her asl en-
so soundly that she is threatening 10 fall
on the floor, and her camp chair shows
signs of collapsing. With a wave Of the
hand the mental engineer indicates that
the women may stop concentrating and
thus avert n tragedy. The thin woman
hears the voices and gets up looking very
foolish.
Everybody rushes forth into the world
again. The mental engineer alone remains
with his aura for company.
