Everyday Mind Reading
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Did you ever happen to interest your
self in the science of mind reading?
don't mean the abstract science which we
read about in books, but the simple. con-
crete kind, which you and 1 can practice
every day if we have our wits about us.
For instance, a young engaged couple
who have been absent from each other
for some months come together again,
and after the customary greetings have
somewhat subsidized, she asks him, do
you ever wonder if I'll look the way you
think / do, when you see me again?'
Mo- he answers, but you do, or else
you wouldn't have asked me that" In
which conclusion he was quite correct,
and showed that he understood the
everyday science Of mind reading to a T.
Suppose you are with a group of girls,
and one Of them looks at you thought
fully and then observes. Does my nose
look shiny" do you thoughtlessly say
NO." or YES" as the case may be. and
thought that made her wonder about the
condition of her nose, and reach for your
own powder puff?
Again, our judgments of other peoples
motives and characters are often excel
lent sidelights on our own inward work
ings to him who has the wit to look for
them. He says he gets fifty dollars
week." a man said to me the other day,
speaking of a fellow employe, but they
all four-fush about their salaries. l
usually deduct about twenty-five per cent
from what they say. He probably. gets
thirty-fiye or forty dollars at the most"
Where did that man get such an idea
of his friends? Partly from his expert
ence with them. but partly out of his
own knowledge Of himself. I am sure 1t
would be safe to apply this twenty-five
per cent rule to any statement which he
should make.
The man who is always suspicious Of
other mems honesty proves that he has
many dishonest thoughts himself The
woman who is always ready to believe
the worst of other women therein admits
her consciousness of her own inherent
weakness, however virtuous the shelter
of circumstances and environment may
have made her.
Another interesting branch of mind
reading consists in tracing trains of
thought. You notice a child with an ex-
quisite complexion and mention the fact.
moment later your companion says. Il
wonder how MRS. So-and-So is. Have
you heard from her lately?" If he had
Mrs So-and-So who has such bad
skim" would his thought have been any
palmer? That is an eXaggeratedly sim
PIE example of this kind of mind reading.
Much more intricate and lengthy trails
can be followed by any one who is accus-
toned to the exercise. ! want, however,
to warn any one who tries this not to be
too sure of his conclusions. l have fire.

Those housekeepers who labor under the
impression that bread baking is a lost art
or, at best, rapidly disappearing art,
are fortunately very much mistaken. If
they can turn out a perfect loaf of bread
they should by no means lose the knack,
for the time has not yet come when any
bread made on a large scale can replace
the delicious. fragrant homemade vari-

three. The arrival of each paper
provoked discussion. Each side
figuring the election Of his candi-

when Tros'' Ga Clark MANI

Before definite action had been
taken, Judge Lewis telegram
arrived announcing Wilson'S
nomination on the 46th ballot.
This settled the controversy.
All members in good standing
