There was a Countess of Ittiborough, a
dear old lady, with white hair,_and beau-

great friend of Gaunt e, and she offered
to play the part qf hostess and sit at

"It is a pity that there is not a duly

She smiled at him with her wise and

FINGER -PRINTS IMPROVEII.
'The Rack of the Hand Will Now
Be Photographed.
The finger -print ,system is gen-
erally regarded as the la.st word in
scientific detection of crime, but a,
newer method is being experiment-
ed with. "-
The great objection to the finaeri
print system. that, though it is
quite trustworthy as, far aa it goes,
being based on the fact that no two
people in the 4.40,rld haVe ;the slams
pattern on the skin of, their finger-
tipa, it is easily rendered useless by
wearing gloats or 'by having the
finger tips* deliberately defaced.
Every eraolc burglar 'knows this
nowadays,. •
But the newer system will baffle
even the -wariest of burglars. The
idea is to photograph the back of
the hand of every convicted crimi-
nal. The network of tiny veins on
the black of a man'e hand is &smooch
peculiar to himself as the patter/a
on lois finge,r-tips. The chatmee are
billions to one against two men's
hands showing the. same arrange-
ments of veins. The photograph is
taken after the hand has been al-
lowed to dangle down for a minute
or two, ea that the rush of blood
may make the network of veins
etand out prominently. One scien-
tist has suggested binding the wrist
with a tight bandage for the wane
purpose.
The advantage over the finger-
print system is that no, one can at-
tempt to alter the arrangement of
the veins without running great
danger of bleeding to death.

QUEEN BARS GAMBLING CLUB
British Consort Ends Plan for Ex -
elusive Woman's House.
Queen Mary, by reoson colt her un-
conquerable aversion to gambling
in any form by women., has prevent-
ed the establishment of a woman's
club in London which, from a so-
cial point of view, by far would
have outranked any existing wo-
men's *club in the eityeand width in
tact would have beeic a kind of wo-
man's Marlborough Club.
The ineident at the same time
shows how, in spite of the Queen's
strong and constantly demonstrat-
ed objection, . the 'society women of
England axe equally determined
not to be deprived of their big or
little gambling.
A plan was formulated a short
time ago to start a Woman's club,
inembeethip rio -which was to be re-
stricted to past and present ladies
Of the vat:lolls royal households in
England. At first everything point-
ed to Re immediate great allealefle.
Nearly every royal lady residing in
England premised to join, and a
strong body of ladies of the royal
households immediately came in.
Of course • it was absolutely es-
sential that such et club should have
the support of the Queen, as she is
the- head of the select body from
which the members twee to be se-
lected,,
Lady 'Agnate Montag -u, the organ-
izing secretary of the -club, imme-
diately approached Queen Mary as
soon as the -sateoeseful, establish-
ment- of the. elub 'was assured. A
couple of weeks ago the Queen
wrote to Lady' Agitate that' she
would join the Chub, 'butt only on
the condi'tio'n s, that there should
be no cardroom in it and that no
male visitors should be received.
These. conditionswere made
lonovfn, and two weeks sufficed to
Show that they rendered the forma-
tion of the club impossible for of
the 180 ladies who formed ;he
• nueleiils of the organization
140 have new withdrawn their
names. As a result the scheme has
been abandoned.
A Matter of Time.
The Market Man -,-I think living's
getting cheaper. F'rinstance, tape
years ago them eggs wpuld have
cost you CO per cent. more.
The Customer—Two years ago,
when these eggs were fresh, they
would have been worth mere.

replied, "I guess I'll go and shoot
myself."
