THE SYMPATHETIC HAND
A. The Mr-, unreeplnsr bnlt of the
hand Indicates the Venus type.
Tho most lovablo of nil types of
humanity, the most beautiful, most
sympathetic, kindest and best-natured la
tho Venuslan typo. Reference to tho
chart of the hand In Artlclo II of this
series, will show that the mount ot Venus
Is very nearly cocxtcnslvo with tho ball
of tho thumb. It Is by far tho largest
mount ; and, standing ns It does for
qualities which are tho most powerful
factors In human llfo love, affection,
sympathy It Is naturally tho most In
teresting of all tho mounts.
Venuslans aro tho most cheerful typo,
too ! nnd they lovo to sing, to dance and
to extract from life whatever there Is
of pleasuro nnd nmusement in It.
Being good themselves that Is. when
they nro of the pure typo nnd not
coarsened by wrong bringing up or evil
or Insanitary environment they are tho
"easy marka" for almost any had Mer
curlan to take adnntnge of. They are
confiding; nnd, nlthough cheated and
betrayed by crooks or disloyal friends
a scoro of times, they can bo duped
again nnd again. They lose their tem
per for n while nfter each deception
practiced upon them, but quickly recover
their native cheerfulness and let "tho
dead past bury Its dead."
They nro healthv and are tho only
mount typo entirely lacking In health
defects peculiarly Its own.

"Have you mado up your mind yet.
Sabra, about where you are going to
spend your vacation?"
airs. Stewart spoke without looking
up from tho seam she was stitching on
the machine when her daughter entered
the room.
Sabra Stewart, a slim girl with glossv
brown hair brushed bncK from .1 smooth
brow, stood beside the whirring ma
chine and watched tho pretty voile ruffle
slip beneath her motlicr's slenuer lingers
"Xo, moiher, I haven't ; you know the
other twoglrl3 can't quite ngreo about
just where they want to go But, really,
they must decldo before u week from
next Jtondny or or I'll go off nlone."
It waa Saturday the last Saturday In
June and the big ofllce where "the other
two girls" and Sabra were employed
closed on Saturdays during the summer
"I need nnother yard of this voile.
Sabra," Mrs. Stewart had finished tho
ruffle and had begun hastily to haste
It to the skirt; "and I wish, Sabra,
that you would eat your breakfast and
men go flown town ana gei no yuiio.
You'll ba back by 11 o'clock nnd I'll,
havo your dress all ready 10 try on.
I do want to finish today, so you can
wear It to church tomorrow,"
"It Is a beautiful dress, mother, and
I think that you aro a dear to mako so
many little rufltes." Sabra kissed her
mother and hastened to tho kitchen,
whero her brchkfaat was nice and hot
on tho back of the stove,
"Well, I'm glad that she ts going to
have a real vacation for onco In her
life," Mrs. Stewart soliloquized when her
daughter had left the room; "she has
been In that ofllco almost five years nnd
this Is her first vacation."
Her breakfast finished, Sabra went up
fo her room to dress for her trip down
town. But first she must count her
money, for never before In all her
twenty-threo years had Snbra Stewart
owned so much money.
Prom boreath the lavender-scented
pad of muslin that covered tho bottom
of her bureau drawer whero sho kept her
handkerchiefs and laces she drew a
number of hills nnd spread them out
upon tho table $53 In all. It was her
vacation money and ever since January
sho had been putting It away a few
dollars at a tlmo out of her "allowance,"
for Sabra had nn allowanco of $5 a week
for clothes and carfares out of her $18
a week salary.
While sho was gathering up her
wealth from the tablo the telephone bell
rang, nnd she henrd her mother's volco
aliBworing. Sho listened and soon sne
Was aware that her mother was talklnn
with Aunt Is'ancy. For a few minutes
sho stood listening, nnd into her frank,
brown eyes there camo a troubled look.
She started to go downstairs, then, sud
denly changed her mind, and put on her
hat and coat nnd went out whllo her
mother was still talking with Aunt
Nancy.
It was almost 1 o'clock when sho re
turned. Sho enmo laden with a box, n
bag. and a couple of bundles.
Her mother, who had been anxiously
watching for her since 11 o'clock, let
her in.
"Now, don't scold me, mother," tho
almost breathless girl cautioned the lit
tle woman, whose brown eyes wcro wide
with astonishment, "for I have had tho
tho most thrilling time spending that
money enmo upstairs till you see."
Deftly tho box and bundles were
opened and their contents eprend out
upon the bed ; a trim suit of Oxford
gray, a blouse of georgette, a whlto
muslin blouse and a smart toquo to
mutch tho lovely grav suit.
"That suit Js a real bargain, mother,
and It's Just your size, a thtrty-etght,
but you havo tho privilege of changing
It If "
"But, Sabra," Mrs. Stewart had found
her volco again. "Sabr.-x I your
your vacattm "
"Oh, vacation," Sabra shrugged her
shoulders. "I'm going to stny at home
and enjoy solid comfort while vou vou
are going with Aunt Nancy to swelter
and swat sand llcas and mosquitoes
arounii ncr new cottage.
"But, Sabra," Mrs. Stewart began to
protest, "I "
"I henrd you wnlspcrlnir to Aunt
Nancy on the telephone this morning,"
Sabra Interrupted, "and you told her
that you would loe to go, but that you
"had nothing to wear." and you hadn't,
mother, not n thing tit to woar, nnd all
because you insist on my IiunIiir eery

A Rare Jeivel
One of the rarest gems in Queen
Mary's collection la a green diamond of
marvelous beauty. It has neer been set.
OIIAPTKII II
The Friendly Klephnnt
pEOaY and Billy found themselves
In a fix, They had crept under the
ennvnn wall of tho circus tent to seo
what the Insldcs of a circus looked like
when the show wasn't going on. nnd
here wa something unexpected facing
them. That something unexpected was a
samel. They had blundered right into
his pen.
Piggy was so startled ee would havo
dodged back under tho cam on If shn
hadn't heard a shout from the crunrd
outside. The guard wan warning boytt
away from tho tent and tho tone of his
voice showed he was angry. It would
never do to fall Into hln hands, thought
Peggy, Ho might put her and Billy tn
Jail.
Tho camel was kneeling down nnd
sleepily chewing his cud when Peggy
nnd Blllv popped under tho tent Ho
was almost as surprised at seeing them
as they wero to seo hl" ugly faco frown
ing down nt them. His eyes popped open
wldo nnd ho gavo a queer sort of a
grunt.
Perhaps tho camel would not have
Kald much attention to them, but It
appencd that ho wan particularly cross
that day. He had been quarreling all
morning with the other camels In tho
mcnngcrlo nnd now had turned his back
on them and was sulkily dozing, when
tho children disturbed him. Thn sli-ht
of thorn startled his ill naturo into no
tion. Ho opened his big mouth, his long
neck darted forward, and before Peggy
could Jump osldo he caught her dress in
his teeth. Ills neck straightened up and
ho began to pull Peggy toward him.
Billy leaped to Peggy's rc.'cue. He
tried to Jerk Peggy's dress away, but
tnn camel naa a urm grip on it. Then
Billy did tho next thing he thought of
ho gave tho camol a thump on his
nose. Still the camel did not let go ;
ho Just gnvo a 'grunt and hung on ns
tightly as before, dragging Peggy nearer
to him.
Peggy had henrd how dangerous
camels are when they bite In anger
how they set their teeth and grind until
they grind off whatever they have grip
ped. She wan ufrnld that when the
camel had drawn her cloce, ho would
let go her drcsB and grab her shoulder,
Billy feared the same thing. When
tho thump on tho noBo didn't make the
camel open his mouth, Billy seized
Peggy around tho waist and tried to pull
her away. The camel, however, wan
stronger than Billy and Peggy put to
gether and they couldn't pull against
him. He slowly dragged Peggy until her
nrm wns within grabbing distance. An
evil glenm camo Into his eyes, and ns
quicK as scat no let go tno dress, in
tending to grab her shoulder.
But tho camel didn't get Peggy's
shoulder. Instead he got a stunning
whack on the side of his head an iv
long, black arm shot past Peggy and
hit him. Tho blow mnde the camel see
stars. Before ho recovered hlm-vlf the
arm had gono nround Peggy and Billy
and lifted them out of his reach.
Peggy and Billy certainly were npton
Ishcd as tho arm struck the camel itnd
then seized them. At first glancp they
thought the arm was a big snake ther
aa It swung them back thev knew what
It was an elephant's trunk.
Tho elephant's eyes were twinkling
mltchloously. Peggy and Billy couldn't
tell whether ho meant them harm or
good. Then ho set them down carefully
and let them go.
r "There you nre. little sister and little
bi other," grunted tho elephant. In a
friendly sort of way "You'd ought to
know better than go near a camel when
he has a mad on."
"Oh. thank you, kind Mr Elephant,"
answered Peggy. "We dldn' know we
were going to get near him when--when
" Peggy paused In confusion for
li illdn'l wnnt to confess thev had
crawled under ,tho tent. The, elephant
winked his eye. . . ' .
"When you came sneaking under the
tent like two naughty boys," he
chuckled. "I saw you, but I also saw
this boy working all morning nnd earn
ing tho right to come In, so I'll not say
anything about It. Will, I think you'd
bettor hldo behind my legs, for here
cornea one of the keepers and he will
mako n fuss and throw you out If ho
I'eggy anu uiuy saw a man mmuw
from behind tho cages at the farther end
of the tent. The man looked rough nnd
ugly. They didn't want to meet him nnd
quickly took tho elephant's advice, hid
ing behind his legs.
Tomorrow will bo told how a clown
befriends them.

Whlto gold always turns yellow after
a while, nnd the only wav to keep It
the color It started Is to wash it with
boiling water, Into which a little borax

white powder. Massage will mako tho
throat allm, but you -would nave to
consult n physical culture expert for
the proper way to rub. You might C.a
Just tho thing which would make your
throat stouter or "stringy," and that
would be a tragedy. If you reduce all
over, of course, your necu woum ne

You did not say whether you want
Inexpensive lessons or not. If you
want to pay regulation prices for them
you can get them nt any of the mUBlc

cannot afford to pay the prices that are
asked there, lessons of this kind nre
given nt tho Settlement Music School.

In spite of waiting llBts, prices or any

EXPENSE. Rent3 are reasonable at "Old Hickory." Nearly all the necessities of life can be purchased in the busi
ness center of the village. The design and construction of the houses, the very life and atmosphere of the village are
conducive to PERMANENT labor, and satisfy the demands of the highest class of American skilled workmen.
An ample supply of common labor is available in this territory.
No manufacturer can be too big for "Old Hickory," yet this plant is so clastic that its individual units, or the
plant in its entirety, can be modified and made profitable for MANY VARIED INDUSTRIES, having no con
nection with the manufacture of smokeless powder. Another point, too important to be ignored, is the vast collection
of MARKETABLE surplus property on the giounds. This property is of a character that can now be disposed of
at top prices.
. The Government prefers to sell "Old Hickory" as an ENTIRE unit. It is suggested that if you wish to use only
an individual unit that you wire or write your preferences and permit the Government to put you in touch with other
buyers, similarly disposed, and so assist in the formation of a group which can take immediate possession of the entire
plant.
Arrange NOW to have your engineer make a careful inspection of the entire plant and submit your proposition
to the Government.
Opportunity never knocked harder at your door, and never called so completely prepared to satisfy your every
requirement.
