Amatrnr I Inaflonn by Ver? Str MrniiH otv (lir Vud In ChtriiKu. Character reading Is the very lniest fashionable diversion of social Chicago. Not professional character reading, but otuateur divination by society people themselves. The old style palmistry is now supplemented by character read ing by means of a study of u person's handwriting, of his facial lines and ex pressions, of his walk, of even the i 'oil.es he wears, says the Chicago Chronicle. "I c an tc II more about a woman's personality by examining her shoes and hat than by watching her face," remarked a lever man the other dny. "I always look first at her rhoes, then nt her skirt iinfl finally ut her hat. The waist or coal 1 never remark at alL Hometimes 1 am mistaken in the shoes, because the pair may be new and stilff and have not had a chance to become part of the individual. "But the hat is never debatable ter ritory. Its shape, its trimming, Its size and the way it is placed on tho head all tell something of the owner's personality. A hat is to me the typical straw that denotes the outlines of the wearer's character." l GOLF AND SCOTCH WHISKY. Tbc (irnwlnic Favor f llie;)omc Over Here iBereSSeS tUr Snlos of I lie l.lqunr. "The game of golf Is res-onBlble for on increase of almost 2!K) por cent, in the sale of Scotch whisky in this coun try," said n liquor dealer. "Scotch whisky is ns essential to n golf plnyer as beer to n man at a clam bake, and the growing interest in golf is increasing the sale of Jhi.s commodity every year. "In BcotUbd, where the game of golf is said to have first been played, the standard drink is Scotch whisky. Of course, the American golfers have to follow the Scotch fashions, and Scotch whisky and soda a really delicious and refreshing beverage is the favorite drink in the golf clubs in this country. "In a liquor trade paper, I saw, some time ngo. some figures on this subject. Ifcforc the game of golf became so pop ular in this country, the annual sale of Scotch whisky here was less than 30,000 gallons, it is now said to be some thing like 9i),()0O gallons a year. There Is a well-grounded suspicion that a good deal of this whisky is distilled right In this country and put into littles bear ing the labels of a Scotch firm, but I think it would be impossible to prove this."
