NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-Two hun

Nella Webb 20 tell them how to
hitch their romantic or economic
wagons TO the sturdiest Of stars.
Nella Webb-middle-a rosy
checked, velvet-gowned astrologist
sits complacently at Mays this
week and answers the same old
questions women have asked
through the years. in palmy times
and poor, about love. health,
wealth, work" They want to know
- short, about the romantic matter
Of love against the substantial mat
ter of security.
Not a woman of 25 or under who
does not ask first. When am 1
going to be married?" But imping-
ing increasingly close on this first
question is, When will I get
job?"
Every one is seeking a leaning
post, as always. But during the
last five years interest in the "oc-
cults" has increased 10000 times"
according to Merton r. Loewenthal,
Miss Webbs manager.
Humanity is largely interested in
itself" says Miss Webb. But hui
mainly is less concerned about it
self when the world runs smoothly
and there is money in the bank,
according to her manager.
Answers No Exact Questions
The shopping women want 10
know when they will marry, wheth-
er they will have children, whether
husbands should change bus mess
and to what, and so on. But Nella
Webb answers no exact questions,
and, as Mr.. Loewenthal says:
There's no fortune telling or fate
in this stuff. We don't monkey with
life and death and that stun. II
we knew the dope about the stock
market we wouldn't be doing this"
She tells them, you can not
change a snowstorm, but you have
free will as to how you will pull
through it. You can find out the
snowstorms coming, put on your
galoshes and raincoat, and brace
yourself against the wind"
Women do not listen so intently
when she tells them the dynamic
planets are approaching a spectacu-
lar rendezvous that must mean a
"civil or religious" war in 1912. They
are not much interested to learn we
will have storms and tidal waves,
ship disasters, fires, earthquakes
and the seasonal recession of bust
ness this winter"
But they want to know about the
"trend of vibrations" of their own
souls.
Gemini- Gemini Christmas!
And so, according to their planets,
Nella Webb tells the women not
what events will befall them but
how to guide their lives through GER
tain influences. I, it seems, am a
Gemini. One week is favorable for
personal matters and for higher
thought, another is bad for dis
putes with the boss" between JAN.
2 and 26 1 must be careful about
love affairs, but in March there
should be love affairs galore, the
ones where you fall off the deep
end with love at first sight" Gem
mi Christmas!
Personally, soul vibrations to me
are like somebody else's operations.
I'd rather not hear about them. But
to SO per cent of the theatrical pro-
feSsion and to some 200 women
shoppers a day, Nella Webb's pre-
dieting is either a fascinating game
or an exact science. What seems
a cockeyed compass in storm to
one is an unfailing chart to the next
in line. And every one can choose
her own leaning post.
The snowstormS are coming, and
if you find out when you will know
when to wear your rubbers. If you
never bother about rubbers, anyway,
then it doesn't matter; but if you
catch cold don't blame Nella Webb.
