Helen Keller in her first appearance
in Salem at the Grand opera house on
March 80, will show the general public
the sensitiveness of her hands, which
her friends have been familiar with for
years.
Helen Keller's finger.tips are so
acutely sensitive that she can not only
read character in the hands of those
she meets, but seldom makes mistake
in remembering people by the touch of
their hands. A short while ago, Miss
Keller met few old friends and some
new ones in her hotel parlor. Those of
the old friends were clasped eagerly,
and with a quick responsive greeting
One of the gentlemen present she had
met but once-the day before-but as
soon as she had felt his fingers, she
called him by name, and spoke of the
previous meeting.
"The hands of those l meet are
dumbly eloquent to me" said Miss
Keller, "the touch of some hands are
an impertinence / have met people so
empty Of joy that when clasped their
frosty finger-tips it seemed as if I
were shaking hands with Northeast
storm, Others there are whose hands
have sunbeams in them, so that their
grasp warns the heart. 1t may be only
the clinging touch of a child's hand,
but there is as much potential sun.
shine in it for me as there is in loving
glance from others, A real hearty
hand.shake gives me genuine pleasure
like a letter from friend"

Rome, March l4.--American women
coming to Rome will hereafter please

is the warning which Ambassador
Thomas Nelson Page is sending to the
United States. He has just dug up, in

il is to be rejuvenated and put into
force once more.
The rule was originally intended to
prevent tho presentation at court Of
Divorces, not only Kin Victor and Queen
Elena but also Queen Mother Margerita
being greatly opposed to divorce, Whilc
the American divorce colony at Rome
admits that II is right down peeved at
tho new regulation, the fair Divorces
declare that they are at least finding
some consolation in the fact, that il
being without husbands they cannot
be presented to the court, they can at
least consider theniselve little bit
better than those Divorces who hava
acquired second husband and who
thus cannot be excluded by Ambassador
