because she can not afford 70 pay

HAND SHOWS TRADE

HABITS LEAVE THEIR MARK
Certain Lines Of Work Leave Distinct

Gambler.

Two men were seated on a cross
seat in street car, The other was
alert intelligent. The other was
middle-aged, quiet, apparently little
interested in the surroundings.
The car stopped at the corner and
among the passengers who boarded 1t
was well-dressed, tall, rather slen-
der man of about 35, who took the
seat Just in front of them and rested
his right arm along the back of the
seat, the hand hanging over the end.
The young man gave the newcomer
a quick, comprehensive look. The
older man seemed scarcely TO notice
him. Presently the young man put
into whispered words the thought that
had been puzzling him.
Il wonder what he is"

ically. card sAsrp."

asked with interest.
NO; never saw him before"
How do you know he's gambler
then?" The young man became halt
skeptical instantly.
The older man nodded his head
slightly. His hand"
Yes" the young man asserted aft

patronizingly, ''if it wasn't for the
way he holds his hand. Don't you see
that the fingers are close together

tendency is for the palm to be turned
towards the body?" The younger
man nodded, the light of comprehen
sion dawning on his face, and his
companion continued: That's why
say he's a card sharp. Holding the
cards has gotten him into the habi

any cards in his hand, the old habit
exerts its influence"
Thought habits as well as physical
habits leave their mark on the body.
Here is a young man who drops his
hand on the table, or his knee. with
the three smaller fingers partly closed
under, the index finger slightly point
ing out and forming an angle with
the thumb held nearly straight. He Is
a clerk or a bookkeeper, a man who
handles a pen or pencil most of the
time during his working hours. That
is a physical habit almost exclusively,
though at times it may be possible
to determine whether he has been
poring over figures for short time.
The mental effort of concentration
has a tendency to contract the mus
cles of the fingers somewhat and the
thumb and index finger are nearer at
right angles
There are certain lines of work
which leave distinct traces upon the
position of the hands at rest.
1t isn't often that you can be GER
tain of the exact profession or occupa'
tion, but you can classify them gen
orally.
There is a decided tendency among
all of these classes for the hands to
take the position of loosely closed
fist when they are at rest. Sometimes
Il Is possible to detect bricklayer by
the manner in which the ends of the
fingers and thumb of the left hand
are calloused or worn slightly raw
from continual handling of the bricks
The carpenter and blacksmith is like
ly to have, the muscular part of his
hand between the bases of thumb ant
index finger rather unusually devel
oped. This results from the reaction
of the blows continually struck as II
beating iron, driving nails, or in plan
| ing work.
The right hand of the plastere
| probably will show a calloused place
between the thumb and index finger
| The right hand of the bricklayer ma!
show the same characteristic a littl
more plainly. In some instances tn
mason doesn't grasp the trowel han
die as he would club, but extend
the index finger along 1t and uses tn
point of the finger to press down tn
trowel slightly In these cases ther
is not likely to be a calloused spo
between thumb and finger. but the Il
| of the first finger will be hard.
Another class of workers. such a
clerks, bookkeepers, artists, drafts
men, etc, generally hold their hand
more open when at rest than do tn
first class.
Then there is another class r
workers who use their hands but d
not grasp their tools at all-typisti

attendance was splendid. The Elks
have purchased 100 fine young turkeys

are all used, but the more neutral
colorings are favored and the mar
velously rich color schemes and gor-
geousness are reserved for evening
wear. In the costume for day use
velvet is very likely to be combined
with another material. satin, cloth
chiffon, what you will, instead OF
being used alone, and the result OF
this arrangement is satisfactory since
Il makes possible a frock less warm
than one entirely of velvet, and II
one chooses to consider questions OF
practical sort, a frock that VIII wear
better than one entirely of velvet.
one must admit that velvet shows
the wear and tear. and II the parts of
the frock which are to have the lions
share Of this wear ani tear can be
of a material more practical, so
much the better for the woman who
strives to unite economy and modish-
ness.
Velvet, silk, chiffon. lace, may all
appear in one costume. as in cer-
tain eminently successful gray model
There the velvet was in a narrow
two-tone stripe. but the bodice of the
frock showed no velvet at all, being
developed in gray chiffon, gray silk
and handsome lace. The lace ran
down upon the skirt in a simulated
pepium. but this skirt was hidden
when the coat OF velvet and silk
was worn.

heavy lace and plush with net or

velvet and plush uscl for the same
