MARRIAGE WILL
 NOT BE FAILURE Woman Discovers An ASteniSh- ing System of Mating DIVORCE IS ELIMINATED Mrs. Cochran, a High Priestess of Cult, Tells How Men and Women
 Will Find Their Affinitles
 and Wed Them

Ing life partner may be wholly elim- mated Furthermore, two uncongenial souls united legally in the matrimonial state, but being in discord one with the other, may become as one and continue to vibrate in perfect harmony to the end of the chapter
 All that is necessary to bring about this matrimonial millenium is for every one to obey the laws of the Cryptogram, and set forth by woman who calls herself the High Priestess of the cult-Mrs. Aso- Neith Cochran. If these laws are obeyed and the rules followed, cobwebs will grow over the doorways of the divorce courts, and all men and women will find their affinities and soul mates In those to whom they are legally bound in matri- mony.
 So says Mrs. Cochran, and she has study covering, by her own confession, 45 years of her life. The curious part of this is that Mrs. Cochran does not look to be 45 years old. She seems, even upon close observation, to be a woman of not more than s5 years, but she says with a smile that she is nearer 60 than 50.
 "But" she adds, "I am, in my happily preserved youthful appearance. living exempliflcation of the wonders of the Aso-Neith Cryptogram. This science, for such 1t is-is an enemy to care and worry and unhappiness, and if one would re- main young in thought and spirits and looks, one must be care-free and happy"
 Put as concisely as may be, the Cryp- iE ha nf e. tia1 "gfven" names whose vibratory sounds shall be in harmony with the vi- brationss of one's birth number. Mrs. Cochran believes, with the authors of this Cryptogram, that the day of the month upon which person is born ex- ercises all-important influence upon that persons whole life. She believes that there are certain vibratory forces set in motion by the birth date very sim liar in some respects to the electrical vi- brations of wireless telegraphy. She also believes that each letter of 6 persons name sends out these vibrations, and that If the vibrations of the birth num- Der and the vibrations of the name be not in harmony misery will result. The person will be out of harmony with him self. He will not succeed in life, except in certain cycles, when some particular letter of his name vibrates tremendously with his birth number vibrations,
 
 wrong name by his fond but ignorant pa rents, Mrs Cochran wishes them to take new name that will make everything right She says that thousands of per sons in various parts of the world have taken new names, and always, she says, with beneficial results. To her own daughter, a pretty, charming girl of IS, she has given the names Olea Wanda La Fayetta Cochran. The daughter is fine viornist, the picture of health, and happy as the day is long-all due, she and her mother believe, to the mysteri- ous vibrations of numbers selected in !. accordance with the Cryptogram. K ssThis new-old fad has many devotees in many parts of the world and there are said to be hundreds of men and women in New York city who are secretly bear ing the names Mrs. Cochran or other ex- ponents of the art have given them, and who firmly believe that they owe their prosperity and happiness to the acquired cognomens
 "It Is not necessary" says Mrs Coch- ran. Ito change ones name publicly
 Tt is an old, old science. It was known to the ancients. Mention of it Is made in the Bible. Sara's name was changed to Sarah. Joseph became Israel Saul was changed to Paul. And all these changes resulted benefcially to the per sons mentioned"
 When asked to explain this Cryptogram Mrs. Cochran refuses. saying It. Is her secret But there are other opponents of 1t who are not so secretive and any one who cares to take the trouble can find out all about 1t in little book written by Leo Clement and published by Roger Brothers This will tell you the vibra- tions of your birth numbers, what scale of music you respond to, what are your harmonious months and colors and a lot of other interesting things. You have to start with your birthday, not the year. just the date Say you were born on the 17th; and l being 8, make you an 8, for you do not count beyond g, but all ways add up until you get number lower than 10 Being born on the 17th, then, your birth number is s. Had you been born on the 23rd your number would be 5; on the 10th it would be l, and so on.
 The nine numbers from 1 to are ar- ranged in three trials. thus: 1, 5. T.; 3, 4, g.; 8, 6, 9. Persons are sympathetic to each other when they are of the same triad. So far for the birth numbers, now for the names.
 Beginning with the letter A, which is of single vibration and counts l. you so down to I, which is the ninth. B. be- ing second, c third. etc. Then you start over again with J, which counts 10 Cor one); K counting 90 Cor two); down to R, which counts 90 Cor nine); the ciphers going for nothing. With s you go into the hundreds, 10O Cor one), the ciphers again counting for nothing Now, if you want to get your large number, you must set 1t down letter by letter and add up the numbers corresponding to these let ters. Suppose your name is Mary. Ac- cording to tho table M equals 4; A equals 1; R equals 8; Y equals T; 4 plus 1 plus plus equals 21 equals 8. So Mary is No. 8. Suppose your name Is Charles. equals 8; H equals 8; A equals | R equals g; L equals 8; E equals 5; S equals l. plus 8 plus plus plus 3 plus 5 plus equals 80 equals 8. So Charles is also a No. B. Margaret Is 2. Grace is 2. You can easily figure out any name in this way
 Numbers in the birth and letters in the name," says Mrs. Cochran. must balance each other in their six attributes, as well as in form and color, in order to create the perfect union between man and a woman.
 William. born on the 1st, and Gloria, born on the 7th. would become as 1t were. one soul in the two bodies and constitute that ideal union which is the keystone of the social arch. This mar riage would be spiritual and productive of the highest good
 "In the case of William and Gloria there is guaranteed 54 years of harmoni- ous travelling through the letters of their name that arc as one tone and ono soul. Gloria would absorb and reflect the en- tire wisdom of William and her intellec- tual faculties would equal his. William would rise to the loftiest heights of Glo- ria's love and reflect that spirituality which Is the refining and spiritualixing
