A benevolent old man invited q
number of small boys from the sluns
to spend day at his beautiful old
world country home, and among the
many good things which he provided
for them was a bountiful and Won

cream.

New Residents in Towns
BY MRS. FRANK LEARNED

TACT Judgment and discretion are
needed In order to make friends
and acquaintances in new
place. OF course. when going TO live In
"a strange town, where one has a few
friends, cards may he sent. with the
address, to the friends who reside in the
town. as soon as one is settled. thus
giving them an opportunity TO call
Ii may be that a bride is making her
new home i'm a town where her nus
bands friends live. They have re-
yelyed cards tor the wedding. or an
uounCements of the marriage. and after
they have called and their visits have
been returned an interval of durness
may follow. Ii q few little Inequalities
have been offered they may be returned
In simple way.
A new resident must not make ad-
yauces. must not seem IN haste to make
acgus intauces. must not make first calls
on old residents. or send invitations Of
any sort to them until there has been
an exchange OF visits and some mark Of
hospitality has been shown by older
residents
IL is well for "a new resident TO make
allowances for an occasional breach OF
courtesy from welI-inteutioued persons.

There is no doubt but the memorizing
of these codes is remarkable. and on
that basis may be paid for. But l can
not understand why thousands will
continue TO believe that a strange, IN
seen power is possessed by these So
called clairvoyants who flourish and
grow rich on money defrauded from
the credulous pleasure seekers who
frequent the resorts.
one more incident on clairvoyancy
Some time after the Ali Ben Hassan
been present were invited TO investi-
gate that wonderful gentleman again al
a friends home in Brooklyn. one of
the scholars had sufficiently awakened
by this time to declare that he thought
it was possible the manner in which
the questions had been asked had sug-
gested their answer. At this most of
the others arose in anger and laughed
scornfully at the man who could show
himself so skeptical in the face of such
conclusive evidence The guide" was
very much aroused and said he feared
this statement would cause Ali to re-
fuse to talk again. Cribs manner of
procedure is generally followed when
someone gets on the trailD Neverthe-
less. TO prove that the charge was pre-
posterous, Ali would allow anyone to
ask the questions and he would answer
theml
Therefore, to the amazement Of all.
this was done, and the results were
more bewildering than before. There
was no doubt Of it. Ali Ben Hassan was
gifted with a remarkable supernatural
sight But the explanation is even
simpler here than in the first incident
