"Jlarjorie," said Lady Isabel, look
ing at mo with great solemnity, "do
you believe in the supernatural?"
Do you mean, do I believe in my
rttllglQn, Isabel?"
"Of "course not." sho answered, look
ing rather shocked. "I mean,' do you
believe in paltnlsts telBng yon your
future, and in presentiments and crys
tal gazing, and clairvoyants, and all
that aort of thins, you" know?"
"Oh, you mean in superstition?"
"Weii, if you like to call It that."
"No, I don't."
"Well, you're going to from to-day,
my child."
"Am I?"
"Yes don't sniff, it's vulgar, and in
opportune, too because I've found a
really successful clairvoyant."
"A what?"
"A clairvoyant," she answered firm
ly, "and she lives In Mock street you
know, just off New IJond street."
"What dots fcfce do?"
"She puts' herself into a trance, and
tell3 you your past and your future,
loo."
"Have you asked her to tell you
how to make an income yet?" 1 said
pleasantly.
"My dear girl, I am not always
thinking of money," said Lady Isabel,
severely;- "besides. 1 don't suppose she
dreams nf anything so sordid. Lady
MaBsIusham is going - to her to-day,
by the way, and I am going to meet
her then', and Kvellna too you know,
the dark one who Is so pretty, and
dresses so well. Do coiue and let her
tell yritir future too."
I scoffed; but she Insisted, and an
hoar later we were driving down to
Madame Fanfare's rooms.
The liht in the aute-ioom was so
Ilru that for a moment I did not rec
ognize Miss Klvaston, but I noticed a
slight trembling ii the voico thai
greeted Lady Isabel as she suldt
"She's awful perfectly uncanny,
Mabel." Ir little Miss Klvaston was
almost in tears.
."What did ho tell you. Mona?"
asked Lady Isabel playfully. "I do
hope you haven't been a naughty
1 was growing more accustomed to
the dimly lighted ante-room, and saw
Mona Klvrston Miitli and bite her lip.
. "No. of course not." she said hotly,
with nun li lioulo

!a? Oh. no. please don't." i
"STmU of hateful ijuefciiona

Nlaow how much 1 ow, and all that
'mirt of thlug. you know."
"AH rllit. I'll put her off," laughed
Lady Isabel, who is always kind to
and Adored by unmarried girls. ."Don't
take what she says too much to heart.
my dr girl," f.he added airily, "and.
by the by" she lowered her voice and
laid her hand on Mona's arm "take
my advlc drop Lord Maasltihani, or
you'll get In a horrible mess," and she
nidtJed away before Miss Klvaston
had recovered her voice or lost her
color.
'II(?I!o, LveMr.a," I heard her ay a
moment later.
. A tall, handsome girl was coming
towards na. with laughing eyes that
were full of mischief.
"Caught," fcho said gaily. "My dear
lsabl. you've snt me either to a
fraud or a perfect wonder; and she
has told me everything I didn't want
to know, xeeptlng how much I owe
at bridge, and she even knew I'd' given
up Bertie and cigarettes."
"Marjorie has come toahave her fu
ture told," said Lady Isabel gravely.
"Indeed. I haven't." I retorted Indig
nantly. 'I camo to hear yours Isabel."
Lady Isabel laughed. "Oh. sho told
aio mine quite u?;o; but she is
.very wonderful, isn't she?" she added,
turning to Lady Kvelina. "I met poor
little Mona LI vast on just now, and
she was almost In tears."
"I I'm, she'll do some good with her
rubbifh if she advises Mona to give up
Masslngham. Ills wife is in there now.
It's a pity Mona has taken such a fan
cy to him. because well, really, Lady
Massinghum is h!s excuse. Isn't she
such a womau. ye gods! how do they
ever get the men to marry them? Ta
ta cherle, I have a party on at the
Veringhams. and I'm late already. 11
faut que jo mo sauve," and shy rustled
away and down the stairs.
Lady Isabel and I sat waiting In the
ante-room that led to the "Chamber of
Futurity," as Madame Fanfare called
her room of consultation. There was
a heavy odor of some sickly perfume
that came ever through the thick cur
fj"d that hung between the rooms,
ana I was beginning to feel quite
taint mid sleepy, -and' th hot room
was filling more and more with uerv
,ou3 people, when Lady Isabel said to
ine In a whimper:
"Hare. I've had enough of this, Mar
jorie. I feel as though we were at tho
dentist's.. Let's go In; she knows me,
nd she won't mind; besides, 1 believe
something has happened perhaps the
can't? come to. or Lady Masslngham
La strangled her."
She Ubhed open tho curtains, and I
followed her mechanically.
ia ibe even dimmer light l' dis
cerned a feminine figure dressed in
tiowlng white, leaning back with
closed eyes and a dathllko face, aod
very dark, uulldy balr. Lady A:as-

With an only half-suppressed scream,
of rage Iady Masslngham sprang to
her feet, and Lady Isabel drew me
quickly back to the little ante-room
again.
"Well, she's doing poor old Masslng
ham a good turn, anyway; but she'll
never make that cat amiable, In spite

She broke off suddenly as Lady Mas

room, looking very flushed and very
angry, and, without even seeing us,
passed down the stairs.

crossly,
"please don't think I'm such an abso

whole thing was an obviou3 fraud." -
"Unbeliever," sho said gaily, "go

converted."
lu the park we ran across Iady
Masslngham.
"I saw you at Fanfare's," said Lady
Isabel, speaking very sweetly, "Just as
you were coming out. Isn't she a mar
vel? She told me r.uch wonderful,
wonderful, things."
"She Is very uncanny." said Lady
Masslngham with a slight shudder;
"but I would rather not talk about her
please."
l.ady Isabel deftly changed the con
versation and soon afterwards we
drove away.
"What did that fraud charge you,
Isabel ?"
"Charge mc? Why, nothing at all,
of course."
"When I say you, I mean her cli
ents," I said. "What does she charge
the silly women who go to her?"
"Three guineas a visit, 1 believe."
"Three guineas!" I echoed, aghast.
"Why, I thought the very worst of
them only charged a guinea."
"Well." said Lady Isabel, "you see.
she Isn't real clairvoyant, so there's
my share too for her to pay."
"Your share," I echoed; "but whore
do you come in?"
. "Oh! I don't come in," said Lady Is

passing man, "I only give her the Information."
Got Hit Revenge.
It was during a Christmas dinner.
Christmas dinners are but occasional
things. Many of the society folk of
tho city were seated around the great
table. They wero happy and many
were the witty remarks' passed.

man was engaging n lady In conver

in conversation? There was no rea
son why he should not There was
no one else to talk to her.

Tho young lady broke the sllenco.
The young man was evidently giving

"Why why, my plate Is not a

''Of of course not," replied tho
young man. and desisted.
So tho dinner went on. Kveryono
was merry. Why not? It was Christ
mas. Jokes were passed, witticisms
v'ere current. The man at the end
of the tab was as happy as anyone

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.

Cry Until Tirei Out Speed
Cure by Cuticura.
"My baby was about nine -months
old when cbo had rash on her face
and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate
her most, especially nights. Tlrty
would cause her to bo broken in her
rest, and sometimes r.he would cry
until she was tired out. I had always
used Cuticura Soap myself, and had
heard of so many cures by the Cuti
cura Remedies that 1 thought I would
give them a trial. The improvement
was noticeable in a few boars, and
before I had used one box of the Cu
ticura Ointment her feet wero well
ar.d have never troubled her since. I
also used it to remove what is known
u.i "crad!o rap" from her head, and
it wortcd like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
name time. Now I keep Cuticura
Ointment on' hand in. case of any
little rash or insect bites, as it takes
out tho inflammation at once. Per
haps this may be tho means of help

ONE WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY.
Match Twins with . Twins, Was the
Fond Mother's Idea.
A little woman entered a dru? stoce
nnd asked the proprietor if he had "an
other picture."
"What kind of a picture doyou
mean?" the druggist asked.
One like this," said the woman,
holding up an attractive advertising
trim.
"I may have one or two of them
left," the proprietor said, "but I
baven't many cf them."
The woman said the only wanted
one, and her tone Indicated that she
was anxious for that one. She ex
plained that the one she had with her
had been given to one of her children.
Another child, she stated, was dick,
and was trying for a picture such as
his brother had.
"That's a bad way to bring up your
children," ventured a woman customer
in the store. "Do you try to give a
child everything he cries for Just be
cause his brother is more fortunate?"
"Hut." said the mother of the chil
dren, "you don't know. The children
are twins and what one has the other
wants."
"Suppose." objected the moralist,
"when your children get older, they
fail In love with the same girl, what
will they do?"
Hut the mother was ready. She
promptly replied:
"Find twins and fall In love with
them."
DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couple's Experience.
How many persons dread to eat thefr
meals, although actually hungry near
ly all tho time!
Nature never Intended this should
be so. for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
Put we get In a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal Into
the furnace, and our sense of sppetlto
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we cat the wrong kind of food
or eat loo much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying
miseries.

One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the We!!-Infonaed of the World
is to lt?nrn as to the relative str.nJinjr nml rfii.ilility of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as t tic most-eminent physicians arc the most careful as to
tho uniform quality and perfec t purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physician's and the Well-Informed generally that the California lrig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct method. and rerfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name, of the

TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish lo call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of light
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is tast each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, ol contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a sinlple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the apoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed localise
of tin; excellence of the combination, known to all. and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California l'ig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
