l. The traditional meaning of this Is
a happy marriage to a wealthy person.
You are predestined to achieve big
things. Your ambitions will materialize
or some unexpected change will bring
you honors and riches.
e. Here tradition says you are un-
lucky--in danger of financial loss or
serious illness, even of a bad accident.
Other good signs in the palm, however,
may counteract the influence of the
unlucky star.
g. This. the Star of Brilliancy. is
found in the hands of those who "ar-
rive" by their own efforts. 1t shows
that you can. If you will, achieve
wealth, unprecedented honors, and real
celebrity.
4. Your natural eloquence and abil-
ity could make you successful law
yer or writer. but you are artful. too,
and tricky. If this side of your nature
predominates you are bound to come to
grief.
S. Near the life line a star is said
to mean good luck; very low on the
Mount, disappointment in love; several
stars announce the loss of dear friends,
while single star in the middle of the
Mount is happy heart attachment.
s. Beware For there Is danger for
you by water. You love travel and
change. and will take many voyages by
sea and land-and. perhaps, even by
air! A square inclosing the star viii
protect you from any danger.

There is difference between senti-
ment and sentimentality Sentiment
means an emotional attachment to
some person or object such as the at
tachments we have for the old home
stead, our fathers and mothers, our
sweethearts. an engagement ring, the
American flag. an old hat, favorite
golf club and other things. places and
people that stir up an emotion in us.
Sentimentality, on the other hand, Is
something none of us care to be accused
OF. 1t is regarded as a sign of softness
in the head. Sentimentality is senti-
ment gone to seed, an exaggeration of
the real thing. We call a person SEN
timental when he carries his emotional
attachments beyond the bounds of rea-
son. In one of Thackeray's descriptions
this sentence appears, "Mr Stearne be-
comes sentimental over a cab, and
weeps generous tears over a donkey"
Any one who "weeps generous tears over
a donkey" Is beyond mere sentiment.
He is sentimentalist. This sort of
emotional reaction is In excess of true
sentiment, overdone, ridiculous.
The element OF insincerity also helps
to give sentimentality a black eye. 1t
is sometimes done for effect or for the
purpose OF enjoying the emotion for It's
own sake. The sentimentalist is often
"affectedly tender, mawkishly emo
tional." We have no more confidence
in this sort Of thing than in the man
who tries to sell us gold bricks at dol
lar brick. We smell rat right away.
We are sentimental in fun for the
purpose of drawing a laugh. or more
cunningly serious in producing a de-
sired effect, and not infrequently we are

dials to make them luminous.
All of them painted 80 watches
4 day, wetting the brushes with
their lips between strokes. In that
way they took a certain amount of
radium into their systems.
Seven years later, in 1927, the
five watch painters developed radi-
um poisoning. Seeking redress a
gainst the company for which they
had worked, the women found that
the statute of limitations had ex-
pired; that they could not hold the
company responsible unless suits
were filed within two years after
the cause of the accident.
In this instance, the symptoms
did not develop for seven years,
Raymond Berry, Newark attorney,
employed by the plaintiffs, then at
tempted to enjoin the Radium Cor

ute of limitation.
There has been one hearing on
that injunction, a month ago. Then
the case was continued to Septem-
