By MADAME FRAYA,
The Celebrated Partisan Palmist
and Reader of the Future
CINCE the first of the year l have
read many American hands and l
~ am able to give to the people OF
America message of cheer and also of
warning.
In the months that preceded the
great war, read disaster in hundreds OF
French palms. I concluded that cata-
clysm was near. Two months before
hostilities began I was visited by Char
lotte of Sake Meiningen, sister OF the
German emperor. l did not know who
she was, but told her she would grieve
and suffer greatly over her brothers
actions.
A week before the war broke out the
Princess came again to me in the COM
pany of another lady, who revealed the
visitors identity. then told her, among
more intimate things, that her brother
would lose his throne.
Just so have l now come to conclu-
sions, good and bad, concerning the fu-
ture of America.
l shall tell you presently how these
revelations" come to me. 1t may give
you an idea why famous statesmen and
people of the highest social standing visit
me when great world events are in the
making, or personal affairs are at stake.
But first let me correct an error. Jour-
nalists and writers of books very often
attribute supernatural powers to me.
This is wrong. Ny means of divination
and deduction are of the simplest, as you
will realize.
What do see for America?
The hands of American personalities l
have studied since January first include
those of several celebrated men Of high
finance, one prominent steel magnate,
two great generals, seven diplomats, and
hundreds of others, men and women, "A
business, the fine arts, and sciences.
From these have formed an average
deductive conclusion" based not alone
on the positive indications of the lines,
shapes or colors of the hands, but also
on the "waves" which came to me the
moment these visitors entered my room.
Like all the others, these Americans
brought their subconscious selves to me
for inspection. felt them at once. Ny
extremely sensitive psychic faculties i'm
mediately came into contact with the
processes of their souls, as it were, thus
throwing me into state Of waking me-
diumship and permitting me to form
fairly accurate conclusions regarding
Americans collectively.
1t is state of mental clarity which
never fails to reveal to me the past Of
any human creature. The future is q
matter of deduction and inspiration.
The people of the United States are in
the throes Of a strange evolution.
Women are to play an ever increasing
role in the affairs Of the nation, bringing
refinement into politics and gentility into
business. There is much brutality in
America. Women's influence will COM
bat it effectively.
But young girls will continue to affect
masculine manners and clothes. They
will go to extremes in dress, and demand
even more personal liberty than they
possess at present.
There is no danger in that attitude Of
American.young women, for it will reach
climax before another year has gone
by. Then will the United States enter a
period of reaction in which wholesome
feminism will influence that country and
the world.
Marriages in America will continue to
be hastily concluded, owing to the desire
in young women to live fast and satisfy
the senses. More marriages will be dis
solved in the next twelvemonth than ever
