For the latter she used a piece OF

point of lace.
The tunic was opened up the side,
cut 10 points, put into a box plat at

The bodice was simply draped

Three fire calls inside of three

TEA LEAE FORTUNES.

Women's curiosity always has been
subject of much discussion and
difference Of opinion. but there is no
woman, young or old who will not
find vast amount OF amusement and
entertainment from having her for
tune told, says Pittsburg Dispatch.
The popular hostess is the one who
never is ct loss to amuse and en-
tertain her guests. An easy and Jolly
way to tell fortunes is the old. old
fancy for fortunes in tea cup.
Brew the tea, but do not use
strainer. All but few drops Of the
tea should be drunk and these serve
to keep the leaves in circulation.
The cup then must be whirled about
three times-for three is the mystic
number, you know--and turned into
the saucer and turned again three
times, and the cup then is ready TO
be read.
A lover-and surely this is the
most interesting either a man or a
woman, is represented by number
of dots in which one figure stands
alone.
An engagement is represented by
two dots side by side.
A marriage is represented by three
dots side by side and an offer OF
marriage is signifed by a kneeling
figure in the cup. A group Of dots
arranged three in row means that
the offer will be accepted.
Three large dots forming a tri-
angle mean good luck, good news,
good health and fortune.
Tears to be shed for one cause or
another are represented by the drops
of tea in the bottom of the cup
II you find large dots in line in
the cup be prepared for the many
trials and difficulties which are in
store for you. II the large dots are
mixed with small ones you will en-
counter disagreeable people and your
affairs will be in confusion.

But there was one young woman in
the box party at the theater who took
no part in the noisy chatter and

With her gaze fixed upon the stage
she watched the progress of the play,
Indifferent to the gayety around her,
except that her delicate, aristocratic,
finely chisled features bore look of
WEAKNESS, and scronful smile curved
her lips.
Al last, however, she turned her
head slowly and looked at the other
