THE LYONS DEN
Len Looks at Comics
BY LEONARD LYONS

NEW YORK.-A recent Gus
tom at New York parties is to
have a lady stashed away in
another room for "consulta-
ton" purposes. No, nothing IL
legal or immoral about it. The
uninitiate refer to her as "the
fortune-teller," but that's in
correct. After all, any lady who
can tell fortunes accurately
should be able to make her own
fortune and avoid the need for
this kind of work. She prefers
to be known as a horoscope
analyst, with a bit Of palm
reading added.
I never availed myself of the
invitations to consult the ladies
in the other rooms. I'm a skep-
tic in such matters and have
little time to waste. Besides, !
usually tell them I'm in the
same business myself, in a way
the business of prophecy.
But then came the party where
I was the lone holdout; and
after suficient taunts I reluc-
tantly submitted-particularly
when the host said she was be-
ing paid per capita and I'd
be depriving her Of a fee.
She began cautiously: "You
are sensitive, you have an
artistic streak touched with
cynicism, you make friends
easily, you have rare taste. "
Oh, sure. You could be emf
nently successful in law, or
diplomacy" she continued,
glancing' at my palm. Your
vivid imagination and humor
could be useful in executive
positions in the highest eche-
Ions" She had me going. then
