Fortune Tellers.

II Is asserted that there Is not one
cnse on record of a man who prOfited
by the wlzardry of fortune teller who
afterward rewarded the card reader
or crystal gazer, or whatever 1t was
by so much as even small cash tip.
This fact shows that either patrons
of fortune tellers are an exceedingly
ungrateful lot, or that there isn't one
of them who ever had the slightest
reason for being grateful. In other
words, can fortune teller really tell
fortunes?

This rich and graceful cape-c0atee,
with Its muif to match, Is one of those
much-admired, two-in-one garments
that are characteristic of this seasons
STYLES. Its designer chose Hudson seal
and followed two cOnverging paths TO
its success, combining the free, easy
lines of cape with something of the
snugnesS of coat. His ingenuity was
rewarded in a wrap more graceful
than either of its inspirations. 1t Is
much more cozy than a cape or scarf,
easily made equal to coat for COM
fort. But on mild days or In the warm
er climates It Is worn open at the front
and hanging about the shoulders, ms
casually as elthe< n cape or scarf.
When the wearer Of this pretty gar
ment adjusts 1t rs n protection against
the cold, the ingenuity of the furrier
who made 1t reveals itself. The mar
row scarf, attached to the neck, and
passing through straps of fur at the
waist line, is slipped from under these
straps and wrapped about the throat,
and the front of the wrap fastened up
to meet 1t, thereupon 1t is a warm
coatee. The muff is melon-shaped,
with slashed frills at the ends and ev-
cry woman knows that 1t may actually
keep the hands warm, or merely serve
as a luxurious and elegant accessory
of dress. Both the wrap and muif
are distinctly up-to-date.
Hudson seal is a favorte with de-
slgners, but these artists in furs have
distinguished themselves In other pelts.

where GRAMMAR CAME FROM
Himself Owner of All Egypt, Held
Responsible for Invention.

The world reached Its highest known
stage Of intelligence before grammar
was even invented, much less studied.
Ernest G. Moore writes in the Yale Re
view. I have had some curiosity
to find out where and how SO great
blight upon young life first came into
being, and why it ever became school
study, and I find that the Greeks knew
It not; that their triumphant litera-
ture and their matchless oratory came
to flower before grammar was dreamed
Of; that it was not in any sense one
Of the great arts which they wrought
out and with which they armed the
human race; that after Greece had
declined, barbarOus Macedonian made
himself owner of all Egypt, and in or.
der to surround himself with the most
spectacular form of ostentation of
which his vain mind could conceive,
he set to collecting not only all the
rare and precious objects and books
and manuscripts there were In the
world, but he capped 1t all by max.
ing a collection of the living men of
the world who had any reputation any
where for knowing and thinking.
Taking them from their homes where
they had some relation to the daily
necessities Of human beings, and had
really been Of some use, he shut them
up for life In one Of his palaces at
Alexandria, which the folks were In
the habit of calling "the hencoop Of
the muses." and out of sheer despera.
ton, since they could do nothing bet.
ter to amuse themselves, they counted
the words in the books which real men
had written, and prepared tables of
the forms and endings which the users
Of words employed. The lifeless dregs
Of books which their distilling left we
now call grammar, and study instead
Of books and even speech itself. In
their lowest depth of Indifference to
the moving, pulsing life Of man, not
even the Alexandrians sank SO low as
that.
