THE HAND OF A MUSICIAN

WHEN the lower joints of the
fingers. and especially of the
finger of Saturn. the middle finger,
are we'll knOtted, ii is a mark of
skill in musical composition. Skill in
execution of music is indicated by
finger tips that are well padded.
Some authorities on palmistry hold
that very good sign of skill and tai
ent-perhaps even genius-in music is
indicated by a finger OF Jupiter Tor
forefinger) that is bent or curved; in
rare cases, even to a degree ap-
preaching the semi-circle. This mark
or sign i: accentuated and strength
ened If the finger of Mercury. the lit
tie finger. is also bent in simila.' fash
ion. This shows a good musician OF
any sort, but especially a pianist. If
only one finger is bent, some hold, it
is a sign of a person who simply has
n great love of music, while the bend
ing of both fingers means a perform
er of music.
A short, sharp vertical line on the
mount of Apollo. at the base of the
third finger is held TO mean, invari-
ably. skill in music. If the line of
fortune drumming from the line of life
toward Mercury leaves the line of
life at a sharp angle. it means love
of music.

which scampered to the dell as fast
as their legs would carry them.
The little Fairies and their Queen
were sitting around a cobweb table
cloth spread upon the ground eating
fairy food when all at once from
the tree and bushes dropped those
naughty spider COLLINS right in their
midst.
Up jumped the Fairies crying out
with fright and away they ran, hiding
under all sorts of things TO escape
their tormentors.
But the COLLINS were not satisfied
with frightening the Fairies once
they ran this way and that. trying to
find them and send them fitting about
like so many scared little butterflies.
When the Fairy Queen saw the
spider Goblins looking for the Fairies
she knew that some charmed spell
was upon them and when she touched
one with her wand and that did not
change IL to a Goblin she knew that
it was King OberOn's work. for she
could not undo his work until his hour
was over.
So she whispered to all of her
Fairies telling them not to be fright.
ened, that II was the mischievous Cob
Iins and that they would be sorry
little fellows if they could be kept in
the dell until the magic hour of King
OberOn's power had passed.
So the Fairies pretended to be very
much frightened and the COLLINS in
tent upon their pranks and thinking
it was great fun stayed until the sun
was up.
They scampered off in hurry when
they saw the light, but, of course.
King OberOn had gone home long be-

"Oh. what shall we do?" moaned
the Goblins, for in their spidery forms
they could not give the magic signal,

rocks.
And there the Queen and her Fairies
found them, for they followed them
soon after they ran, well knowing
what would happen and if anyone
begged hard TO be helped out of trOu-

to perpetrate lie on the public, when
he in 1870 prepared a paper on the
Flag which he read before the Penn
sylvania Historical society, also told
the story, not from tradition, but as
told by Mrs. Ross to Mr.. Candy"
Then follows the refutation. among
the papers OF Mr.. Alrich, as he used it
on previous occasions. 1t contains the
following:
"a myth exists only in the imag-
ination. Is Betsy Ross a myth? Did
such a person live, and did she make
the first Stars and Stripes which we
now reyerently speak of as old
Glory?
1T is recorded that some time be-
tween May % and June Z, 1777,
Commander in Chief George Wash
ington, accompanied by the committee,
Robert Morris and Col. George Ross
Ga relative of Betsy called on her,
and there after consultation, in
structed her to make the Flag. The
American congress resolved, on Sat
urday, June IA, 1777, that the Flag
of the United States be 13 stripes
alternate red and white, that the
union be 13 stars, white on blue
field. representing a new constella-
ton This was substantially the
design agreed upon by the commit
tee and made by Betsy Ross.
But who was Betsy Ross? Her
maiden name was Griscom, Elisabeth
Griscom, born in 1852 of Quaker par
ents, Samuel and Rebecca Griscom.
Samuel was descendant of Andrew
Griscom, who brought the first cargo
of bricks from England, of which this
famous house was built Elisabeth
married John Ross, an Episcopalian
and for this awful misdemeanor she
was expelled from the Friends soci-
ETY.. and becoming an Episcopalian,
with her husband, worshiped in the

tance from her home. and where the
pew she occupied tNo. 12) is still
marked to designate it as hers. as is
also her grave in Mount Moriah GEM
etery. beside her husband, Claypoole.
General Washington also worshiped in
the same church, and his pew is also
marked, and both are shown today.

episode twenty-five years of age. Ross
was an upholsterer, his widow con-

Widow Ross married Joseph Ash

the young republic, and was cap

favOrite was the lifting name of Mar
jorie. Margaret Ethel took it to the
land of the thistle and seems TO have
cOntrived to make it almost the ma

vogue in England through the famous
Margaret of Anjou, Margaret Beau

Marjorie. Bruce's daughter is perhaps
the most famous of the Scottish wom-

surname Marjoribanks was derived
from the barOny of Raltio granted to
Marjorie Bruce on her marriage wit h

GOOD FORM IN DRESS

VOU may have read recently Of a
= clergyman who sent a bride home
from church because of what he con-
sidered the immodesty of her dress.
and another well known divine as
sured the women of his parish that he
would have them refused admittance
TO church, if they came clad in the
extremes of fashion.
Whether the styles of dress that
these priests referred to were actually
immodest doubtless depends on the
point of view. But that they were inap-
propriate to church is unquestionable.
To be dressed always in good taste
does not necessarily mean that you
must never indulge in the more ex-
treme forms of the fashion. but that
you should wear them never where
they might give Offense. For instance
ii is now in most localities perfectly
customary for women young and old
to wear low necks and short sleeves
