Pueblo, Colo, Sept. IS, 100,


Mrs. A. NJ. Pope, st. Louis, Missouri.
Madam-We, the undersigned ladies
of Pueblo, wish to say in reply to the
letter and circular you sent our friend
and citizen, Mrs. Marshall, concerning
Nine. Walker and her hair business,
that she never claimed her preparation
was the same or as good as yours; but
she does claim her preparation is the
best on the market. and we firmly be-
lieve 1t is. In fact, she never mentioned
you to us in any way; she simply is
representing her own work, giving us
treatments as fast as she can, and we
are using her preparation, and further
more, are perfectly satisfied with the
results she accomplishes. We would
not use yours, or any other, as long as
We can get hers. Until Nine. Walker
came here We never heard of any hair
grower. You should have had your
hair goods out here before she came.
IL seems 20 be, as you said in the let
ter written to Nine. Walker by you for
publication concerning Mrs. Scott
Stevenson, that is, IF l can't, you
shant." That seems to be your motto.
You are in st. Louis, and as far as
you were concerned, we could have
been baldheaded until now, so we con
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1906-09-28

slider your efforts purely spite work
and see by your letter of few months
ago to the ladies' Of the West, how
highly you recommended her that
such must be the case, and We also
feel that this is the sentiment Of the
ladies throughout the West who have
taken her treatments and used her
wonderful grower, either secured per
sonally or by letter-that she is
therefore the peer of any in her class,
and We further believe that Mrs Mar
shall is too broad-minded to stoop to
anything to harm, injure or in any
way disparage the merited reputation
of another in business, as she, herself,
is a highly-respected business woman
in this community. Respectfully yours,

success in art literature, generally due TO some
assistance of the family OF close relatives.
When the line rises from the Mount of the
Moon and ends under the ring finger Gig. p it
promises success and reputation from outsiders, a
case where friends will usually help or
suggest course. This success is, however,
often only of short duration. Upon the hands of
women found where success came about through
marriage through the assistance of the opposite
sex in some form.
When the line rises from the Line of Fate

line and things generally change for the better
where the line begins.
When the line rises from the centre Of the hand
OF Head line Zig Al it denotes many struggles
in early life, especially so if the Fate line is also
poor. Yet where the one begins success will be
gained, but only through our own unaided exer
tions.

is beautiful.
When the line is very long, with sloping Head
line Gig. 81 and long ring finger, we have
before us a subject who is fond of gambling, one
who likes to take risks in games of chance.
When the line is broken repeatedly Gig 81, it
denotes great versatility, that will bring neither
money or fame of permanent nature
When the line is long and clear, with good
Fate line, straight Head line Gig. 10), great
success in speculation is shown. This is the hand
of the successful speculator.
When the line is found wavy Gig. 11) 1t tells
Of poor concentration and poor taste in things
relating to the beautiful.
When the line is chained Gig. 12) intense
desire for reputation but poor in the con-
quest for the same.
! When the line is found absent between the
Head and Heart lines Gig 13) 1t speaks of prof
ects that have will prove futile This is accept
ed as due to poor judgment between the, ages OF
thirty,fve and fifty. This deem bad marking,
as during those years generally acquire riches
IL ever, for statistics show that most men have
made their money between those years
When the line divides and sends branches to
the Mouats of Saturn and Mercury Gig. l4) 1t is
sure Indication of great wealth and fame.
When the line is touched by line from the

When the line is cut by the cross line Gig

"A Decollete Cors sage

one, had corner badly torn and this was re-
moved, leaving enough to fit closely round the
shoulders.
Above the insertion came an inch and half
or two inches of very fine net, very finely gather
ed at the heading with silk thread the whole
carefully fitted as to lie very fiat upon the skin.
This yoke was lined all through with one layer
of fesh-colored crepe de Chine up to the fine net
tucker, and really looked quite like low gown,
or at any rate with transparent yoke,
less seen quite close. There was no breaking of
the line of the neck and shoulders with either
color contrasting material.
The second corsage was copied from an old
picture The gown was a bright shade of car
nelian-red satin evolved to do justice to a couple
of lovely old carnelian intagos set in quantity
worked gold1, and owning edging round the
shoulders of these quaint little frls Of two-inch
Mechlin, with folds of net to match precisely
the groundwork Of the lace, drawn in close but
not rigid fchu folds down to the centre of the
bodice back and front, fat length of the lace
forming "turn-down collar" at the region of the
base of the neck. just tied there with very
fine silver cord and tiny diamond tassels The
net was lined with plain piece Of fesh-colored
chiffon.
If crepe and chiffon, or any like material, is
chosen for the lining of these yokes. and care
tonishing how difficult it is to detect the presence
of anything Of the sort. The sleeves very smart
and much ruffed with Mechlin frills, had ruck-
ed undersIeeves to the wrists Of the same net as
