Mrs, Jean Morris Ellis was un-
able to c.ose her Engagement in this
cl,y, Wednesday, as she had plan
ned, because of the number OF ap-
plications for PM geological charts
aad character readings, which this
lady has given each day during her
visit to Corvallis. Mrs. Ellis is
thoroughly familiar with her wors =,
for which she has prepared herself
by courses in phrenology both in
New York and England. Her
readings are accurate and exhaus-

concerning oneself that can be made
of great benefit in life, in choosing
an occupation, selecting a career or
making wise choice of husband.
Personally, Mrs. Ellis is bright,
Entertaining and charming, and
impresses the visitor with the fact
that she is no ordinary woman.
