was the next question Of the astonished
stranger.
Oh, yes, but not so frequently as
at first. Battle Greek people think she
is the only washerwoman in the world
who owns her own touring car. y
But an automobile is not the only
possession Of Mrs. Huber. She owns a
home, a house that she rents, and last,
but not least, a farm.

dry; each evening sees her speeding
along the streets id her automobile.
In severe weather the horse and car
rage take the place Of the motor car.
But Mrs. Huber enjoys nothing SO much
as speeding along in the whirring ma

to govern than curly hair. .
Curls denote q feeble sense Of right
and wrong, gayety, vivacity, self-c con
fidence.
Straight black hair, growing coarse
and thick, indicates more order and in

Red hair is strongly characteristic.
no halfway business here. It usually
indicates quick temper, tho there are
exceptions.
Beautiful golden hair is rarely seen
on persons Of a gross nature. Its own
er loves fine arts and possesses exquisite
sensibilities.
Hair and eyebrows differing in color
are said to mean untrustw rthiness.
They indicate race mixture, and be-
speak a wavering, unsteady nature.
4 AS rule, smooth, fine, softly waving
hair betokens gentleness, quietness,
neatness. Untidy sleek, straight hair
gives warning Of slyness, hypocrisy.

Lady Cadogan have eight children, and
in the nursery Of Lord Chelsea, their
eldest son, there are several little

opened book shop, has nine children,
five sons and four daughters; Lady
v erulam, whose eldest daughter, Lady
Hermione, was married not long ago,
has five girls and one son, Lord Grim
ston; there are eight, nine, ten, twelve
and more children in several noble fam
lilies.
Lord Leicester, who has been twice
married, has fifteen children; and Lord
Penrhyn, who also has married twice,
has had family of fifteen, twelve Of
them daughters. Lord and Lady Den
high have ten children, and so have
Lord and Lady Ancaster, while families
/ of six and seven are quite common. The
king and queen both come from large
families, and the nurseries Of the Prince
and Princess of Wales are full of little
children.
