on her way to an upper room whsuce to view the said procession. She ma aged the first two steps, only just exbibiting too freely a pair of rather thick ankles. On the third step she stumbled, could not recover herself and had to be picked up ignominiously and car ried into the olub after the fashion of an old- game called "Honeypete," that is, with a porter on one side and her male ssoort on the other oach clutching her under an arm.as

He is a man of Kindly feeling toward humanity, and his manner and tone immediately impress one with his sincere belief in his work.. A huge stack of grateful letters from people who have received readings from him adds to other conrinoing proof as to his ability.

Everyone consulting you will marvel at the correctness of your detailed personal readings and advice. The most sceptical will consult you again and again after corresponding with you once.
