orange or lemon ice, pistachio and strawberry
are general favortes.
There are a number of attractive paper cases
for serving ices. One in the form of yellow
tulip is very suggestive.

charming, but expensive, and seemingly too at
tractive to demolish

ployed for Easter menus

nature is served by hostess in town noted
for her excellent dinners.
Cut four hard-boiled eggs in halves crosswise
in such way that the tops of the halves may
be cut in small points Remove the yolks, mash
and add half the quantity of finely chopped
cooked chicken. Mosten with olive oil or melt
ed butter, and season with salt, pepper and vine
gar. Shape in balls the size of original yolks
and refill the whites. Arrange lettuce leaves,
and garnish with radshes cut in fancy shapes.
PLANKED EGGS VERY PALATABLE.
Like any other planked dish they have dis
+inctive flavor all their own. First butter an
oval plank, one that has not been previously
used for fish; then arrange border of duchess
potatoes, also cases for eggs. A pastry bag and a
tuhe must be called into service for this part
Of the work Place in the oven to reheat and
deIcately brown the potatoes. Add a poached
eqo in each case Garnish with halves of broiled
or sauted tomatoes or sprinkle finely minced
parsley over the eggs.
! A less simple way of serving eggs is to brown
slices of fine wheat bread place on top poach-
ed or fried egg and over this pour thick cream
dressing with minced parsley.

most difficult of all the various types to recog-
nize. 1t goes without saying that the reader
will experience some trouble in deciding since
the hand is of the mixed order. To facilitate
its recognition I will say that the hand is often
found with the palm square, the first finger
comic, the middle finger square, the ring finger
spatuate, or broadened at the tip, and the little
finger comic. Besides, the above combination
may be changed about. but it still remains a
mixed hand. The fingers may be either knotty
or smooth. One fact to be remembered is that
mixed hand must be judged first of all by the
prevailing type. That is, if two or more fingers
are comic, the type is mixedconical; if two or
more are square, it is a mixedsquare; if two or
more are spatulate, it is mixed-spatulate. How
ever, fingers should be read separately and then
the balance carefully weighed.
Versatility in mixed hand is the principal
characteristic revealed. Since its owner possesses
combination of qualities, forces and talents we
have an individual who is not one-sided in char
acter, but one who can plan, think and act from
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-08

these rules and instructions on the hands of
friends and acquaintances; note the things they
are most noted for Always note the scientific
lengths of the fingers in proportion to the hand
proper. Carry in mind the thought that to be
able to read people you have the power to do in
calculable good
Never surprise your hearer by drawing stuff
from the Imagination, that may please or seem
great for the time being. Speak the truth. but
be careful how you say things to highly nervous
and sensitive persons. You can point out grave
faults but tell them in such a way that the
nearer may profit by it. For instance, you may
notice a propensity towards weak lungs Speak
in this fashion: "There is danger signaled relat
ing to your respiratory organs, which may never
to light, but it is advisable that great care
should be exercised regards catching cold
Be sure and practice deep breathing and avoid
damp feet, etc Whatever the weak point may
be- health or character, you should encourage IN
stead of depress but be to hint at the
underlying weakness, for the hand shows 1t years
in advance before it comes out OF the body.
Much depends the way you say thing, so
cultivate tact at the same time. People who are
very positive and strong minded should have
their faults revealed plainly and emphatlcally
So much lies in the first two lessons, so study
everything carefully. Decipher your own hand,
ascertain your shortcomings and strong points
After you have analysed your weak points, you
will be surprised how much good the study VIII
afford you. Endeavor to overcome them
Do not consider it ne-telng, for there
is as much difference between this and character
reading as there is between law and medicine
You are studying character reading; you are
learning to know yourself and others.
1t is true the study teaches us many things
that are likely to occur in the future and many
things that have taken place in the, past, but
Won foretell no more than does the DOCTOR the
lawyer the minister, the magistrate, or the
weather man.
Scientists have proven that mans past ac-
ticns have specialized brain cells, which have in
fuenced the nerve centres and through these

tell what the future has in store for US,
Now for the study of to-day's hand, it being

Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-08

many points of view. Owners of exact types
gst of a subject, be it business, science or art
They are as rule favorites in society, a fact
generally due to their adaptability and knowl
edge of many subjects. They are, however, never
as deep as they would lead one to believe They
rarely if ever rise to any great height of power;
in many cases they are as changeabe in pur..
pose as the sands of the sea. They are fond OF
place. G They are energetic and full of action,
but erratic in the application of the same; in
short, they change too often to make perma-
nent success. They possess many so-called ac-
complishments often play some, sing little,
paint little. write little, invent some, and SO
on. Such hands are full of enthusiasm and cour-
age.
If, however, two or more fingers of one type
are found upon hand besides large thumb
and clear straight, head line, with the palm
firm, we have discovered the hand that is irwin
cible. a hand that will make its mark in the
world. Here we have versatility, genius and
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-08

of purpose is generally lacking.
To facilitate the difficulties in deciphering this
type the following will be found simple and ac-
curate
Pointing Finger-Concal: Love of reading,
quick to perceive. Square: Love of absolute
truth. Spatulate: Fondness for activity,
Middle Finger,-Conical Frivoty, indecison.
Square: Prudence, somberness Spatuate: Fond
ness for activity.
Ringer Finger.-Conical Artistic thought
Square; Truth in art Spatulate Love of action
in art.
Little Finger-Conical: Tact and diplomacy.
Square: Power to impart knowledge. Spatulate:
Commercial ability.
In our next lesson we will consider the square
hand, also known as the useful hand.

quart of boiling water acidulated with the juice
of half lemon. Drain and beat thoroughly
with a wire whisk until feathery mass, then
mix in cup of hot, well seasoned tomato sauce,
freshly made, and teaspoon of butter. Heat

in a border of freshly boiled rice.
HOW TO SERVE THE EASTER COD.
Heat two tablespoonfuls of butter, browning
it very slightly, sift in tablespoonful of
-four, stir until smooth, pour in cupful
of water and cook for five minutes. Season with
salt, white pepper and the juice of lemon. Chop
fine one medium-sized onion, and one green
pepper minus the seeds, and brown them in
two tablespoonfuls of oil or clarified butter
then add one cupful of stewed, strained to-
matoes twelve button mushrooms cut in small
pieces, bay leaf, sprig of thyme and the pre-
pared white sauce. Have the fish cut in inch
thick slices, lay them in the sauce, cover them
with oiled paper and bake for threequarters
of an hour in a rather slow oven. When ready
to serve garnish with brown potato balls and
heart-shaped croutons and sprinkle chopped
parsley over all.

Placques of cut and growing flowers are quite
fashionable for table decorations. One. OF the
sketches shows a PLAGUE of yellow straw filled
with white, pink and blueish hyacnths. A little
basket is shown that may serve as decoration
for the end of the table as favors. Several
size baskets and ATTRACTIVE devices in straw and
wicker range from % cents to 90 cents apiece,
and are filled with various kinds of spring flow
ers
Placing little bouquets of spring flowers on the
backs of the chairs and tipping them with ribbon
streamers is a distinctive and original way OF
offering favors, and the effect thus produced Is

INVITATIONS. MENUS AND NAME CARDS.
The invitations may be worded in the same
manner as any formal luncheon dinner and
engraved or written by hand. Or hostess of an
inventive turn of mind may get up her own
invitations wording them in droll fashion and
decorating them with handpainted chicks or
other suitable embellishments. In fact, the in
vitatons name cards and menus may be of home
manufacture.
A pretty little menu is in the form of an
Easter lily, the petals are pulled back and the
menu is revealed in gilt letters. One more
Easter lies with their tall stems arranged on one
side of the card is another pretty suggestion.
