a conference with Commodore Esek

Clues to Character
He Thinks for Himself.
BY J. O. ABERNETHY.

Persons who invent new ways OF
doing things, who patent labor saving
devices, or who suggest some short
ut TO accomplish work or to attain
success in business or the professions,
have the faculty Of discovery large. .
This type thinks for himself; he
often is called hard.headed and stub
born because he insists on seeing and
examining whatever comes under his
observation.
This sign is found in the lower end
of the nose. II the septum-that is.
the narrow partition between the nos
trils-seems to push downward and
tends to hang lower than the nostrils,
you will know that the individual who
has it Is naturally inclined to inves-
tigate. to analyze and delve into
things.
The lower the septum seems TO
hang the more the faculty is devel-
oped. If it is sharp and thin there will
be a disposition to criticize people and
things in q sarcastic manner. Scien-
lists and inventors have this faculty
greatly developed.

CHAPTER Xiv.
A Broken Engagement.

To return to Natalie, on the evening
she had TAXED downtown to meet
Lucien. Her encounter with Perry at
the tea had put her in a reckless
frame Of mind and when she reached
the Hotel Ardmore her cheeks were
flaming and her eyes very bright.
She would show them all that she
was no baby to be watched over and
disciplined. She would show them!
1t was in this mood that she settled
herself in one of the big chairs that
faced the door, and prepared to wait
for Lucien.
Time began to pass. At first it was
interesting to watch the people rush
ing in and out, to see the eXpectant
smiles on the faces Of the women and
the eagerness on the faces OF the men
as they came in from the street.
But after a time Natalie realized
that Lucien was late That was
strange, because he was always early
for an appointment; he never kept
her waiting And tonight Of all times.
tonight when she had planned to be
so very nice to him!
Natalie began to grow irritated. She
scoffed at the idea that anything could
have happen to Lucien. Such things
occurred only in books. oh. no; he
would rush in presently, telling her
that he had been detained at the office,
and she would make an attempt to re-
cover her former good spirits.
The minutes went on passing
Lucien was Is minutes late, now 70.
now half an hour. Impatiently, Ma
talie rose from her chair and walked
about the lobby. At last, yielding to
impulse, she went into a booth and
telephoned his office.
A precise voice at the other end OF
the wire told her that Mr.. Bartlett had
left early. No, he had not said where
he was going. Was there message
of any kind?
Natalie said no. and rang off. A
moment later AS she was crossing the
lobby, a laughing voice hailed her.
Hey. Natalie. what are you looking
so glum about?"
She whirled around. and the next
moment was smiling radiantly. why.
Ted Lyons, when did you get to
town." Her recklessness of spirit had
returned tenfold. She was encouraging
Ted smiling at him alluringly, and
listening eagerly as he unfolded a
scheme for what he called "a wild

She was hardly conscious Of what
he said. 1t was all fairly vague be-
cause she was not really listening.
But Ted was saying something about

Aries.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
variable. In the morning they are
distinctly adverse. In the afternoon
they are favorable. In the evening
they revert to the unfavorable COIL

for travel, either by land or sea. The
auspicious atmosphere is OF so brief

cording TO the signs, pass unscathed
through the perilous seas of infancy
and the minor ailments from which
they will suffer will all readily yield
to ordinary remedies. They are apt,
later on, to display evidence of out

dieting will counteract these tenden-

Shanghai exercise in the public ad-
ministration is reflected in the names
which loom before us. About a dozen
of them have been councillors of the
Municipal Council, namely, Edward
Shellim, Walter Ellis, S. A. Hardoon,
Edward I. Ezra, Marcus Ezekiel, A
Howard, D. M. Nissim, S. M. Mis-
sim, M. Speelman, Leon Blum and
Maurice Benjamin. Mr.. Hardoon has
had the unique distinction of being
member of both the British and
French Municipal Council at the
same time. The last to occupy a
seat on the Council in 1921, was
Maurice Benjamin, whose name
stands out in the civic life of the
local community.
Mr.. Benjamin was born and bred
in Shanghai and speaks the Chinese
dialects. ffuently. He is one of the
youngest members of our community
who, by dint of hard work and per-
severance, has assembled the ladder
of life and fame without extraneous
aid. His views are liberal; he throws
himself ardently on the side of prog
ress and sound civic policy.
When, in May, 1925, there de-
veloped a grave crisis causing seri-
GUS friction between Chinese and
foreigners in Shanghai, Mr.. Benja-
min played a prominent role in act
ing as a peace-m maker. His house
was the rendezvous for the notables,
Chinese statesmen, Consuls and Mu-
nicipal Councillors and due to his
tact and perseverance, he succeeded
in bringing about peace and har-
mony. For this unique service he
was presented last year with large
silver bowl containing inscriptions
honoring him. He was referred to
as having "bridged the gulf between
the East and the West" Mr.. Ben
jamin is married to well known
American Jcwess who shares her
husbands views in public life.

Hardoon, Best Known Jew
During the carly stages of the
Jewish settlement in Shanghai, not
little attention was given to land
and property. In those days land
was offered at fabulously low prices
and as Jewish settlers decided to
make China their homeland, they in
vested their capital in land. Today
land values stand "sky-high" and the
best sections of the settlement are
owned by Jews. One of the most
far-sighted of them, apart from the
house of Sassoon, who rose to real
fame and esteem in the eyes of the
Chinese nation and who stands as
the foremost landlord in China, is
Mr.. Silas Aaron Hardoon, a native
of Bagdad, the best known Jew
among the teeming millions of
China. He has won the highest hon.
or ever bestowed upon foreigners by
the Chinese government, by whom
he is regarded as persona grata,"
the "man whom the Emperor de-
lights to honor His palatial resi-
dences in Peking, Shanghai and
Hangchow are often visited by the

mire his public benefactions to the

dents throughout China.
