Ing with the most convincing serI- ousness the future of the subject Another good old fashioned method Is described in Telling Fortunes by Tea Leaves; How 10 Read Your Fate In TeaCup," also by Cicoly Kent. An unknown person has assumed the hltlngly cryptic pseudonym of Xanto and discourses most solemnly on all the known methods in his book Fortune Telling"
 Closely akin 10 the mystical art of piercing the ftVure are the many amusing and ba1llng forms of magic and conjuring, The secrets of these arts are disclosed in Boys Book of Magic" by Carrington; Magic for Amateurs" by Radcliffe and Ma gicians' Tricks" and how they are done hy Hutton and Plate. Many or the stunts are surprisingly simple 10 learn and are highly entertaining when skilfully done. Houdinis Pa per Magic" gives a number of tricks depending upon paper folding and tearing and a number Of interesting puzzles.
 The chess enthusiast being usually Of quite all intellectual turn is lib- erally supplied with books on his hobby. Typical volumes are Staun- tons Chess Players Handbook" and Marshall and Macbeth's Chess Step by Step" There are also books dessrlbing championship sets and fascinating situations which have oc- cured in chess games.
 For the athletic fan there is ant 10 be lull just after the football season has closed and before the snow Is deep enough 10 be interest ing. This can be spent most profit ably in reading up the fine points Of ones favorite sport.
 Wardlaw's Fundamentals Of Base ball' for instance will prepare one for playing a much more intelligent game when the season opens again. Then personal anecdotes of great players and coaches are good read ing all the year round, Two especial ly interesting books of this kind are My Thirty Years in Baseball" by John McGraw and Pitching in a Pinch" by Christy Mathewson
 The fisherman may well comfort himself with the very excellent if not entirely plausible tales current in his avocation. Fish Stories Alleged and Experienced" by c, r. Holder is particularly calculated to recall summer joys, Zane Grey's Tales of Fishes" are very lively reading. For information about fishing tech uioue one should consult Trout Fishing for the Beginner" by Clap ham.
 The good hunting stories range from Hunting in the Arctic and Alaska" by Scull 10 African Camp Fires by Stewart Edward White. The viewpoint Of the Wife of Nimrod" is very amusingly express ed in Woman Tenderfoot' by Mrs. Seton Thompson, Mrs, Rinehart is another who has written in 8 highly entertaining fashion of her camping experiences,
 The good old art Of walking is dignified in d very delightful book, "shanks' Mare" by Stoddard. The kindred art of mountain climbing also has it's stories and technique in book form.

Lest you he misled by the rather profound natures of our last weeks discourse on law reference books, We are hastcning to offer you samples oi our most frivolous wares.
 During the holidays you will prob ably either be giving a party, going 10 one or helping down at the church entertainment" The Party Book by Fales and Northend is a perfect mine Of clever ideas on dec orations, refreshments favors and stunts. Novelties and How 10 Make Them will help you in making in gentous favors for the Christmas ta- ble and fill ins" for the children's stockings. Holidays and In-Between Times" by Van Derveer will also suggest novel ideas for entertaining. And then there is that ever present help, 'Icebreakers" by Edna Gels. ter which contains a medley of amusing and lively stunts for parties or socials, Money Making Enter tainments for Church and Charity" by Mary Dawson and Producing Amateur Entertainments" by Helen Ferris are most helpful in this month of church fairs and bazaars.
 Of course you play Nah long Cor If you don't you'd never admit it) IL may be that fortune persistently re- fuses to shine upon your efforts in that direction. In that case 1t would be a canny as well as an agreeable occupation to read up on the great game of the Msnchus. Some of our most popular books on the subject are; Poster on Nah Jong," Nah Jong Up-to-Date," by Work and How to Play Nah Jong." by Jean Bray.
 However the newer cults may rise or wane, bridge we have always with US. For one interested In the most scientific and up-to-date methods Of playing the game the following are particularly good: Modern Auction 1928" by Montgomery, "Auction Bridge of 1924" by Work and Play ing the game of Auction Bridge" by Federka.
 An interesting variation of the orthodox game is described in Eos ters Pirate Bridge" Probably the most jovial and entertaining part of q bridge party is that devoted to an eager discussion of freak hands and unusual situations more or less suc- cessfully met, Holding Hands by Irwin describes seventy of the most interesting hands that have occurred in q long series of games, They also illustrate the rules in novel and readable fashion.
 Other card games are by no means neglected in our collection. We have books on Hearts, Russian Bank and Whist and even on the Patience games, which later is pleasantly re- dolent of the genteel and Mid-Vic- torian atmosphere of Cranford, A convenient assembling of rules for all card games is 10 be found in "Hoyle Jp-to-Date" by Foster.
 The history of playing cards from early Egyptian days is most enter tainingly written up ln Mrs. Rensse- Iaer's book on "Propheticai, Educa- tional and Playing Cards The eVo- hutton of modern card values and of their significance in fortune telling is q particularly interesting part of the book.

IN MEMORY OF MARTIN A.
MEYER

Rabbi Rudolph i. Coffee OF Los An.
rcles, Calf. recently pcnned a tribute
to the late DIR. Martin A. Meyer, who
passed away II year ago, and whose
death was Il blow to American Jcwry.
Dr. Meyer was Rabbi of Temple Eman-
el Of San Francisco. DR.. Coffce's tri-
butte follows:
"A year has passed since Doctor
Meyers sudden passing shocked us all.
As occupant of the most important
Jewish pulpit west of the Mississippi
he had carved name for himself
far greater than most Rabbis could
have wrought in thirteen brief years,
We mcurned his sudden translation TO
glory. because we felt that giant
leader in Israel Ind been called to
God. With the passing of time. the
real greatness Of our fallen leader be-
came apparent He was more than
minister to his Congregation, he was
Rabbi of the entire Pacific Coast, and
Il fOrccful spokesman who made ar
ticuintc the finest expressions of Amer
lean life this side of the Rocky Noun
tninS. Nc one can properly measure
his widespread influence The members
of Temple Emanuel speak with love
and reverence of their departed min
lister, who was such strength TO them
in sorrow, and added to Gods bless
ings in moments of joy. The I'M
churched Jews of San Francisco mourn
ed the loss of u fearless and aggres-
sive leader whose JewiShncss was
never in question, and whose fine
sympathy for those who disagreed with
his democratic tendencies was always
manifest.
Such man never dies. Doctor
Meyer still lives in the hearts of those
who knew him. and in the Institutions
which he strengthened because of his
participation. The Jewish committee
for Personal Service Of which he was
president for the first Two years of
its existence, is today stronger than
ever and functioning with splendid re-
suits, not only for the good of the
800 Jewish wards in California insti-
tutiOns, but also extends its aid to non
Jewish wards rs well. DR.. Meyer has
