"Dorothy told mo you said one had been used by a woman dead moro than 250 years, In writing a 300,000-word novel last summer." Tho Ice was clinking lntho lemonado pitcher as the glasses wero filled. Dorothy was fanning herself. Ames was offering to act ns her punkah coollo. Tho Lady ln a Vhlto gown was sitting whero a faint breath of air occasionally stirred tho leaves on the vines. Doctor McFabro was lounging ln tho Gloucester hammock, as usual, sweltering among the pillows. Mrs. McFabre was ut glng him to take his case In a cooler place. "Where havo you lived nil these years, Owen, not to know nnythlng nbout tho oulja?" asked Ames, turning for a mo ment from Dorothy. "Why, Dick," said Dorothy, "you sure ly know nil about It. Wo used to have ono at tho house. Don't you remember?" "You don't mean that fool contrivnnce that had a heart-shaped board with a pointer on one cnel that you made walk about another board on which the letters of tho alphabet were printed?" said Owen. "Yes, that was It," said Dorothy. ''Sometimes there Is a pencil on the heart-shaped board, and It writes sen tences Instead of spelling out words by pointing to tho letters," said I. "When It writes It Is sometimes called a plan chette." "What makes It move?" Owen wanted to know. "They toll us In St. Louis," said I, "where tho long novel was written, that it was moved by tho spirit of tho dead women working through the hands of two living women who had their handi on the board." "Stuff and nonsense," ejaculated Ames with a snort of contempt. "You may bo right," said I, "but there are persons who have profound faith ln that sort of thing, and they use the oulja board when they want to tell their own fortunes." "I have had my fortune told by it," said Dorothy. "What did It say?" asked Ames. "Why don't you tell her fortune by Napoleon's Oraculum?" asked The Lady. "Can you tell fortunes?" Dorothy ex claimed eagerly, sitting up In her chair nnd forgetting tho heat. "I have a book of directions," said I, "but you know I don't believe ln that sort of thing." "Neither do I," Doctor McFabre aroused himself enough to remark. "Napoleon's Oraculum," said I to Doro thy, Ignoring Doctor McFabre's interrup. tlon, "consists of a cabalistic tabic of six teen columns of letters and numbers headed by sixteen astral keys. There are sixteen questions to bo asked, and six teen different answers to each question. You select tho question you want to ask and chance guides you to tho answer. Do you want to try It7" "Please let me," said Dorothy. I took tho hook from the table where It had been lying beside the lemonado pitcher and opened to the list of ques tions. When I handed It to the girl she studied the list a while and then said she wanted to know whether she would obtain her wish. This was the first ques. tlon. I gave her another book nnd told her to open It at random and read to mo the first four words at the top of the left-hand page. She read, "May I tell hlin." This was the guide to the astral key. As tho llrst word had an odd num. ber of letters I made a single dot on a pleco of paper. Tho second word also had an odd number of letters, and I put another dot under the first one, I put two dots for the third word, as It had an even number of letters and a single dot for the last word. Then I looked in column ono and followed It horizontally till I came to a perpendicular column headed by a combination of two single dots, a double dot and a single dot. "Where tho two columns crossed was tho letter O. I looked at the table O, containing answers to alf tho questions and thero opposite tho same group of dots I read this answer: "Fortuno shuns you at present, but will como ln time." "O-h-h!" sighed Dorothy. "Cheer up," said Ames. "That Is not half bad." Then In a moment he added, "Let me try It." I gave the book to him. He studied tho questions and then, evidently with his mind on the draft and the probability that he would have to go to France, he said, "I chooso tho second question, 'Will my undertakings bo successful?'" Following the same method as I em ployed ln Dorothy's case I found the an swer was: "Remain here among your family and you will do well." "That means you won't have to leave the country," said Owen a little contemp tuously. "Rubbish," said Doctor McFabre, who had risen from the hammock and was now sitting on the edge. "You don't dare. try It, Owen," said Ames, with a fine show of Indignation. "Let me have the book," and Owen reached out his hand. He looked over the questions. "I am going to bo frank about it. Question number rour is -snail i live ln foreign parts? That is what I want to know." We worked out the astral key and found this answer: , "Stay where" you are and you will be content." "Now what do you say?" asked Ames. "The oracle proves that you are no more' anxious than I am to go to France to fight." "Of course I am not anxious to go," Owen admitted. "I am ready togo if i am needed because it is my duty." "And your privilege," said The Lady, quietly.

Mnxim Gorky's Story of His En trance Into the World a Great Book Alexel Maxlmovltch Pyeshkov. better known as Mnxim Gorky, Is engnged ln writing a book which Is likely to bo ranked with the great autobiographies. The first luiiie, dealing with his childhood, ap peared last year. Tho Fecond volume, en titled "In tho World," has Just nppenien In nu Hngllsh translation. It deals with his llfo from the ngo of elcen, when ho began to support hlnibclf iih n doorboy in a Xljnl Xogorod shoo store, to tho ago of nrtecn, when he had derided to go to Kazan to get nti education The volume la more than the MOTHERS OF FIGHTING MEN They Can Help or Hinder Vic tory by the Way They . Say "Good-By" Are the boys called to military service to go supported by ths memory that their mothers bade them "God-speed" and blesed them, or arc they to take with them the feeling that they havo had to assert their patriotism and overcome tho desire at homo that they tlnd some way to .wont donning a uniform? Oraco S. Richmond, In "The Whistling Mother," has told tho story of how one woman acted when her boy enlisted. The boy dreaded the parting. He feared that there would be tears and regret. Hut the mother was made of tho right Fort of stuff She loved her son and slio wanted him to lie a worthy citizen. However much Rhe dreaded the possibilities of war, she dreaded moro to be the mother of a coward and a slacker. So when tho boy goes homo from college to pay good-by before entering the army he Is welcomed as though he had GRACE S. RICHMOND come for a brief holiday. There was music and laughter, not because there was no realization, of the gravity of the situation, but because It was known that the boy realized It and that nothing should be done to make htm feel that his family was un willing that ho should fight for his country or that It wanted to make It hard for him to do his duty. Mrs. Richmond has painted the picture or a heroic woman and a manly son. She lets us see how difficult It Is for the mother to be brave and how the boy respects the fine courage ot the woman in tho crisis, no takes with him the determination to be worthy of such a mother. Tho lltjlo book, which was first printed In tho Ladles' Home Journal, ought to be helpful to all motners in these trying times and therefore helpful also to the young men who are breaking home ties and embarking on a great adven ture whlcli will put to the test all the train ing of their past years. THE WHISTL1NO MOTHER. By Grace S. Rich mond. Garden City; Ooubleday, rase Co. 50 centi. What Does a Wife Earn? Is a married w oman a producer or a con sumer? This Is one of tho questions which Prof, John D. Leeds, of Temple University, has attempted to answer ln his new book on household economics. Other writers on the subject have treated the wife as If she were a spender and consumer and as If she pro duced nothing. Professor Leeds applies to the case the tests which would be applied to a factory, and he concludes that they all prove that the woman produces more than she consumes. If you compare the price paid for a steak delivered on the table in a restaurant with the price the house wife pays for It In a butcher shop, some Information regarding the value of the housewife's services In 'getting the food ready to eat can be obtained. Professor Leeds has asked a large number of wives to give him an estimate of the money value of their services. The estimates run all the way from )20 to JUO a month. This Is for wives of men whose Incomes vary from I180Q to (2400 a year. The book deals ex clusively with families of such Incomes. It does not deal with cooking recipes and the like. Such matters, he says, belong to do mestto science and not to economics. He has analyzed the budgets of forty families and j readjusted thein,. according to sound, oonomlq principle,' much, as Jan. eBlcleacr 9r a awn- fqpf4W9ul6 anaty mMlMimm ffl3L the lectures are not devoted to a discus sion of the triple agreement Itself so much as to a survey of the history that preceded T'n PnL?.'5 8F TE TI11PI.R ALUANCB.

It Is ii roclatlon of tho Inner soul of Russia as a boy e.imo In contact with It and Interpicted by the same boy grown to manhood Pyeshkov found the peoplo with whom ho was npsoclatcd a sol did. lclous. ct viol, ooriupt lot, with little Imagination and no Ideals, overcome by the melancholy that seems to paralyze the Klav. When an ani mal or it child was tortured they burst Into laughter, but made no effort to rescue the Uctlm. Silly autlcH would also mnko them smile, but. as ho writes. "Ciajety has no placo In their lives, and as such has no value, but they evoko It from under their burdens as a contrast to the dreary Rus sian sadness" Tho boy wanted to unaer stand life and he was asking questions con tinuously .Sometimes he would pet an answer, but more frequently he would be rebuked, He read whatever ho could lay his hands on, even when he had to read on the sly When he was forbidden to havo a light sit night ho would climb up beside the Icon an tho wall and read by the light of the dim candle kept continually burning before the sacred picture. He read Gogol, Puskhin, Lennontov and other Russians. "Tom Jones" delighted him Ho was fond of Dickens and Scott, nnd although "Ivan hoe" bored him when he was twelve years old, a j ear or two later he enjoyed the great novelist, tho leading of whom he says Impressed him In tho same manner as a high mass on a feaat day ln rich churches, "somewhat long nnd tedious, but always solemn." He tells of his experience In tho shoe store, of his season on a Volga steam boat ns a dishwasher, of his llfo with an Icon painter and of his experience at work ing for his niother'n cousin, who was an architect Whllo ncting ns a sort of over seer for his courIii ho talked ot the prob lems of llfo with tho contractcrr engaged In rebuilding the Xljnl market houses The contractor reported what the boy had said and tho boy's employer cautioned him against Indulging In such conversation When the boy usked the contractor why he had reported their talk, the man replied that If ho had been running after women or had been getting drunk ho would have said noth ing, but that ho thought the employer ought to know what Ideas he was getting Into his head. This was In tho early eighties of the last century In one of the great commer cial centers of Russia. Vice.
