Mr. Cole is not a mere popa lariser of science. He is an out- standing economist a master of every branch of his science and, even though he avoids "al abstruse and difficult, discussions that are not absolutely vital to an undertanding of immediate pro- blems," he unrolls before his readers a vast range of subjecta not ordinarily included in popular discussions of economic problems. All topics of current interest, too, receive adequate and lucid treat- ment, but always as subsidiary to the main subject the problems that press for immediate solution. The resulting survey is probably amique in economic literature in its happy combination of the theoze- tical with the practical, concrete and immediate.

And if you are a woman whose chief interest is her home, and who 5nds pleasure in all the mumerous branches

special feminine interest, remember that a new shipment of overseas - papers and journals has just arrived at Brewer's. Among these are the new Vogue, Delineator, the Ladies' Home Journal, and, for those who are interested in sport, comes the popular periodical Lawn Tennis..

More About The Story Upon Your Hand

HE palm-reader generally

The much more in a pair

of hands than he will tell if he be a wise man, for tragedy is often written there so clearly that it sometimes gives even a practised palmist a shock To tell of the tragedy might prez upon the mind of the con- sultant, and the good palmist, like the good doctor, must do nothing and say, nothing that would injure his client in any

way.

But there is much else to be read and, if there is tragedy to be se in the hands, one naturally turns to characteristics of the en- quirer, and discusses any particu- lar nobility of character which

may have been developed. Or one may see artistic powers, the ability to lead others, or some special gift for a successful professional or business career.

As things, are to-day, palmistr and futurist readings from the hands are discouraged. If any expert accepts money for telling a consultant about his character and about the probabilities of his future Career, gaining his inspiration from the hands of the subject, such an expert will probably be hauled before a magistrate before long to answer, a charge of obtaining money under false pretences. This

means, of course, that the law is entirely sceptical of the truths that may be revealed about people from the reading of their hands. It is sceptical also that the palmist. can tell for instance, the sort of career which it would bể sácisable for any individual to follow merely from reading the hands. Admis tedly there have been impostors, and impostors in this particular fine have been very many, but that does not mean that the whole sys tem is unreliable. On the con- -trary, its reliability is demonstr- able at all times, and if time and mozey were available for the pro- per recording of hand-readings and for the collection of brief notes of subsequent happenings and careers," the importance of the whole study- would immediately leap into the Frominence it deserves.

In the meantime palmistry is discouraged and one is prepared to admit that, when dealt with by the wrong people, it may not be of. any real benefit to the community. There can be no doubt, however, that an expert practising palmiss. with proved bona fides, would be a great boon in any country. Such a man might be the means of saving the "round peg and square bole trouble that is so common in these days, because our young

Zor people do not know

what career they are best fitted.

The Fig. is presented in order to show the position of the ziounts. The mounts are those deshy cushions which are found in various parts of the hand; and the development of which means

very much to the palm-reader. It should be explained that each of the four fingers of the hand is named: The first finger is that of Jupiter, the second of Saturn, the third of Apollo, and the little finger is that of Mercury.

Thus the mounts at the bases of the fingers are named after the fingers. In the Fig. the letters indicate the mounts as follows: A-The Mount of Mercury. B The Mourt of Apollo (or

Sun),

C The Mount of Saturn. D--The Mount of Jupiter. E-The two Mounts of Mars.

F The Motint of Moon. The Mount of Verts.
