Nine. de Thebes Of Paris has already
come out with her prophecies for the yea
1910. The revolutions, social upheavals anc

Parisians, who would terribly miss her an
nual selections of catastrophes and good
and bad seasons.
First we are told that the year 1910 will
be one for fire. 1t will be under the in
fluence Of the sun, and the result will be
that human minds, like things material,
will become oVerheated. France Will eX-
~perience it at its worst, and will be, so
to speak, incandescept. Commerce will eN-
tend, arts will reach the pinnacle of per-
lection and the stage will give US magnift-
cent surprises. on the other hand, the
clerk of the weather will persistently ignore
the calendar. Spring will take the place
Of winter, but the wine will be good all
the same. The waking up Of housekeeping
volcanoes is to be feared in Auvergne, and
In Europe and America, where some disas-
trous earthquakes may be the result.
Mems brains, again, will be in rebellion,
and servants will make amazing discov-
cries, especially in aviation. Common NOR
tails will be seized with a sort of frenzy,
the most frantic of all being writer's for
the stage. Tn, re will be some remarkable
Grimes passionate and scandalous esca-
pades of heroes and heroines 20 years of
age. The French aristocracy-this is moth
ing nevis to be implicated in a great
consI Tracy. England will have a revolu-
tionary explosion; Russia and Belgium will
undergo great changes; Spain and Germany
will be stirred by popular movements, and
a great conflict will be brewing between
Europe and Asia.
on the other hand, the year will be a
lucky one for all those born between July
q and August 81. To be lucky during the
year people will have to try to propitiate
the presiding genius-that Is to say, the
SUM-; and as that fiery diety detests blue,
ladies had better wear purple, orange, pink,
yellow, salmon, light or dark green dresses

noxious blue. The jewels to be worn should
be the color of rubies, amber, beryl, corals
and pearls. The sun likes diamonds In the
summer time, and wives are to get as many
of them as the generosity of their husbands
will permit. In autumn topazes and gar
nets are to be worn, and in spring Tubies
and beryls, which makes love sincere.
The concluding prophecy Is the best of
all. Contrary % the general extravaganza
of the year, women's fashions are to i'm
