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."

"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

think it would be impossible to prove
this."
