Woman Sex Diviner Proves Right Three Times in Succession

MRS. MARY HOYER, the Sydenham sex diviner who recently forecast the sex and weight of babies ex- pected by 19 mothers, has been proved right a third time (writes a correspondent).

I reported her forecast that Mrs. Eric Williams, of Knighton Park Road, Sydenham, would have a girl.

Since then I visited Mrs. Williams at her mother-in-law's ,home in Kent House Road and congratulated her on her newly- born daughter, Dawn Lilian, a beautiful baby with blue eyes and light brown hair.
