New York, Dec. 25.-Miss EVahgeline S.
Adams, astrolOgist, like Napoleon ana
an uncOunted host Of rulers believes that
Miss Adams has just been upheld by
Magistrate Freschi, who declared that
astrclogy is not fortune telling as charg-
ed by the police who arrested her.
Incidentally Miss Adams claims that
among her patrons We're J. iaTp Jnt Nor
gan, F. A Heinze, the Duchess OF Man
chester, Lady Paget, Jacob Stout, former
president of the New York stock Ex-
change and any quantity Of society
women.
Miss Adams is a businessIike person
with square, frankly middle-aged face
and figure. She dresses quietly but
mOdiShly, with no mummery of Oriental
robes. She is a member of the New Eng
land Adams family, which has given two
Presidents to the nation. She has car
ried on her unusual prOfessiOns for years
among the right and intellectual of New

Alarney has learned that a real news
paperman il always loyal and ne never
fails to trust him in every crisis Of the
daily grind. He broke into New York
newspaper work on the Eevning Journal
going from there to the managing editor
ship Of the Evening Post, then to the
Evening Mail city editor and from
the Mail to the School of Journalism.
District Attorney Whitman. in his
younger days, used to play football on an
Eastern college team. In one game II

He was coached for several days, and
the day of the game was put in
Great things were expected of the player,

AS the first signal was called out, the
numbers were SO, IS" Quick as a flash

The irrepressible- Irwin Shrewsbury
Cobb is on deck again with a good story.
Down in Paducah a negro schOOl-teacher
was asked the meaning of the word
jeopardize.
He took on a serious look, scratched
his head refiectively, and said, with much

The worlds series abroad or something
has put a crimp in the flock of dancing
schools in New York and sent the "maitre
de danses'' back to elevator operating
and counter jumping. Only the recog-

imperial baIlet-teaches the majority of
society folk and stage stars to dance.

street are said to be one of the most ele-
