tLF've never seen a more interesting

= she traced the lines in Helen S
pink palm You're very emotional and
very ideaIistic. are you not?"
Helen flushed It was one OF Mrs.
Stevens's evenings at home Mrs. Bar
ton was a young society woman who
had studied palmistry as a social asset.
Since it appealed to the egotism and
love Of the personal in every one, it
was a most popular parlor trick" and
caused her to be much IN demand.
And you're very impuIsive," went on
Mrs. Barton. you do many things on
impulse that you regret afterward.
You're very generous-too generous
sometimes. You're apt to give up your
own pleasure for the sake Of any one
you love"
That's true" interrupted Mrs Ste
vens. shes always sacrificing herself
for that husband of hers"
And you're particularly sensitive,
are you nOt2 Your hand shows that
It's one Of the most sensitive I've ever
seen. Its an artistic hand too. Have
you ever studied art2'
Helen shook her head
"Weu, I should say you'd be success
ful in any artistic work You have real
dramatic ability. Did YOU ever think
OF going on the stage2"
Again Helen shook her head
You have a very affectiOnate nature
and a very constant one, but you're
little given to Jealousy. You're very
true in your friendships You want
every one to be happy and comfortable
about you and you go out Of your way
to make them so. Isn't that trUe?"
Helen, embarrassed, murmured an in
audible response.
Now here are your travel lines
You'll travel a great deal, and later in
life you viii spend much Of your time
abroad There's something here that
suggests a legacy great deal OF
money coming TO you later on. In some
way, it seems connected with the trips

Here they were interrupted by some
one beginning to sing
Helen's feeling Of self-satisfactiOn
was modified by the thought that, pos
sibly flattering generalities were the
main part of Mrs Barton's system Of
palmistry- Perhaps that accounted for
her popularity in drawing room gath

Later in the evening. after the maid
had brought in the sandwiches and the
claret punch, Mr.. Stevens suggested
that Warren have his palm read
