town corner. She has a richly fur
nshed waiting room with a potted
azalea in it's full glory of soft pink
blossoms on the center table.
But just off the waiting room there
is a full-length mirror. cracked in the
center. The crack evidently is recent
The infinite hardly can fail to take
notice. Madame most assuredly is out
of luck.
But it is equally obvious that her
bad luck hasn't started yet. Two Star
reporters dropped in on her the other
day, during normally dull hour, and
watched her take in $40 in 80 min
utes. Customers continued to drift
in. 1t might be calculated that
madame's return is at the rate OF $40
an hour-about the rate at which a
firSt-class doctor values his time.
Madame charges SIS for soul read
ing and So for palm reading. The
two reporters took palm readings.
All This for So.
Here is what Madame told reporter
Your lifeline indicates that you will
live long time, If you take care of
yourself. You will die rich. Your
money will come from fortunate in
vestmentS rather than from your own
earnings. You have an artistic tenn
permanent and are clever with tools.
You would make a very great surgeon
if you applied yourself You would do
best in some of the professions.
your wife is good woman. Your
married life will be happy If other per-
sons leave you alone. You have q
friend with a in his first name. He
is to be trusted. You have another
friend with an H in his name some
where. You can trust him, too. Be

papers. Watch your investments. You
will have family of two children.
There is an old lady, in your family.
She will get sick and die some time.
You like persons you like and you
don't like persons you don't like. You
are going on a long voyage some time.
Next Summer you will take a short
journey. You will succeed through
your own efforts.
There is black-haired girl in your
past who thought great deal of You.
You are going to get letter with
some news in it pretty soon. You will
meet somebody whom you haven't seen
for long time.
Remember now, I tell you only
what I see and not what you might
like to know"
Bungler With Tools.
This was So worth. The customer
hates to diScredit madame's glowing
predictions but must remark that he
is probably the worst bungler with
tools in Washington and would have
made the most murderouS surgeon who
ever juggled scalpel.
This is the second 81 worth, as re-
ported by reporter No. 2:
"You are going to live a long life, II
you take good care of yourself. There
will be several narrow escapes, but
your good judgment will pull you
through"
Asked if these escapes would have
to do with the physical or moral. there
was bit of hedging, but You must
be careful of the company you keep and
not be led into temptation"
Then the question: Have you ever
thought of following professional Ca
reer?"
The subject hedges. and asks "You
mean surgery Cor instance?"
"Yes. or anything" Responding to
the pointed question, advises subject
that he'd make fine surgeon IF you
Just set your mind on it,
Sees no deaths in the future to worry
subject. One in the past has.
your troubles are to be more OF the
living than of the dead. Understand
that?"
No.
"Well, the little things that go along
from day to day will cause you more
worry than any one dying"
Second Marriage. in Prospect.
Broken marriage line indicates sub
ject is separated from wife who was
a good woman, but you didn't under
stand each other" Marriage never
meant to you what it should. Second
marriage in prospect, and the end OF
life will be happy" (This will please
friend wife,
TWO women at present figuring in
life. One, formerly married, thinks
especially well of subject. She's a
brunei. Not real good line ON the
blonde.
Subject inclined to be deep" and re-
ticent. Must guard against telling
affairs. Will have one blonde friend
(male). however, who can be trusted.

So o..
Haven't done as well thus far in life
as had hoped, but unbounded success
is in sight, and the success is to bring
lots of money.
Lacks confidence, but that will be
overcome.
Conditions about subject very un-
settled. Some one wants to hear from
him. Going to be some changes ABOUT
him.
Subject not satisfied with life. Often
depressed.
'Why?" says subject.
ooh, just"-and an airy wave OF the
hand does for the remainder OF the
explanation. j,
Agrees that subject has done lots OF
travelling, and will do more. But
Travelling Not So Good.
"Too much travelling is not good for
you"
IF you like any one, you like them:
and If you don't. you leave them alone.
Who are madame's customers?
When the reporters entered she was
reading the palm OF Wel-groomeo
gentleman, about so years OF age, VINO
looked like a prosperous business man
consulting her about his investments.
The second patron was a spectacled
man with a worried face who might
have been diagnosed as Government
clerk with a large family and low
salary The third was colored lady In
a costly fur coat. evidently an old Gus
toner, for she grumbled to the maid at
not being admitted Immediately TO the
consulting room.
Which one of youse folks is next,
madame says when she concludes
reading.
Madame paints the future and the
past in broad, sweeping lines. she
knows nothing that the lines OF the
palm do not tell her. Like the clair
voyants. the phrenologists and the
numerologists she is chary of details
When catch questions are asked she is
likely to recognize them and pleads
earnestly with the patron, not to be friv-
olous but to take full advantage OF this
