First to Practice Palmistry.

Gypsies introduced the practices OF
palmistry into England. This appears
from a statute of 1881 called an "Acte
concerning Egypsyans." which recltes
that "afore this tyne diverse and

them selfes Egyptians. using no crate
nor faicte of marchaundyse. have
comen into this Realme and gone from
Shire to Shire and Place to Place,

their money!

and Cuticura Ointment for the past
three months and i am glad to say
that they cured me of a most annoy
ing skin eruption. 1t began by my no.
ticing red blotches appearing on my
face and scalp. Although they were
rather disfiguring, I did not think any
thing of them until they began TO get
scaly and dry and to itch and burn
until / could not stand the suffering
Then / began to use a different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me, but that didn't seem to do
any good. went to two different doc
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. i lost many nights sleep in con-
tinual scratching, sometimes scratch
ing til l drew the blood on my face
and head. Then / started in to use
the Cuticura Remedies and in two
months | was entirely relieved OF that

my cure by CIticura Remedies that

it." (Signed) G.. NJ. mcfarland. 221

cialdom have had all sorts OF parties planned
with especial reference to their well-known pro-
pensties. The White House furnishes an apt
criterion as to the revolution in sentiment that
has taken place Prior to the Roosevelt admin
fstration there had been in many years only
few periods when there were present in the ex-
ecutive mansion children of age to influence the
social program. Indeed the children of the Grant
and Hayes families about the only young
sters TO lven up the old mansion since the days
OF the Civil war
With the arrival Of Theodore Roosevelt, accom-
panied by his half dozen strenuous children,
however, time-honored traditions had shake.
up in favor of the fads of young hearts and young
heads and this policy has been pursued during
the Taft regime although the present chief mag
fstrate has brood only half as numerous
that of his predecessor. A noticeable eXempli-
hcaton of the revision that has taken place in
the social calendar is found in the prominent
place that young peoples dances have occupied
of late years on the winter entertainment pro-
gram at the White House. And in summer the
tourist may see juvenile baseball games in prog
,Tess in the presidents back yard, to say nothing
of the comngs and goings of youthful riders on
horse bicycle roller skating on the asphalt
about the mansion; and mild Joy riding in
.natty electric phaeton
What has been true OF the White House has
been true in equal degree of the cabinet
homes. 1t is safe to say that the homes of the
members of the presidents official family have
during the past ten years sheltered ;uore young
people in their teens Cor just out az them) than
in any other similar interval in the entire history
of the country. And, today there is liberal
representation of this junior element in the cab
inet community. Secretary of State Knox may
be said to have but recently graduated from the

son eloped with a pretty Rhode Island girl. al

children Of an age that entitled them
TO be classed as young people in the
households Of Uncle Sans best-paid
servants. If there were junior mem
bers of such households, they were
for the most part grandchildren or
cousins or nephews and nieces. The
result of this state Of affairs was that
the juveniles, neither collectively nor
individually, were much of a factor
ln the social activities of oficialdom,
and very few Of the entertainments
in this sphere were planned espe-
cially for the benefit of the younger
contingent of the community.
But, as has been said, the past half

change of conditions that has made
the juveniles and the unmarried
young men and young women an ele-

PLANTATION Of the new state of affairs
