Then all the fashionable i turnouts of the place are drawn up in imposing array to wait tor the homecoming throns. These fash ionable turnouts are increasing in number rapidly. There are horses of good mettle, traps well made and of proper form, coachmen that are impressive, with not a few touches of brightness of color as seen in the gowns and the hats of the women of the' colonies who have driven down to welcome the men. Bay Shore has for many yeao had this "driving pageant, that of Glee Cove is new, 'for this colonv on the Nort1. Shore has had a few years of life.

But both have now 'developed until no country place can excel them in successions of picturesque scenes as the trains come in. The scenes are almost altogether 'those of Brooklyn, too, for these colonies have come to be the great V.a,unts of place of this country seats.

W. D. Guthrie drives a well appointed double victoria, with two men on the box; Walter Gibb, a yellow wheeled spider phaeton drawn by a bay cob, and William H. Baldwin, is seen riding on a piebald. Other riders of the colony are Mr.

Neither could a negro get employment on the piers of the various steamship lines which have their termini in Hoboken, and which give the chief means of livelihood to the unskilled labor of the place. Altogether the Hoboken atmosphere la not congenial to colored men.

There seems to be a sort of unwritten law in the town that negroes are to be barred out. This feeling permeates everything. The Hofiokense are proud of the distinction conferred on their town by the absence of negroes. How the one family that now has its abode in the town was ever permitted to become a part of the population is a mystery1 to many. An undertaker is blamed for bringing in the blacks.

Some say facetiously that he expects to make something out of the job of taking them out. In the rear of the undertaker's shop is an alley known as Court alley, and in one of the ramshackle buildings there the colored family lives. As far as the neighbors know there is no adult male in the family, which consists of a woman and a boy and girl. The woman answers to the name of Mrs. Johnson.

Now, whenever my husband gets a little bit obstreperous I just turn on a record or so.

In the famous galleries at Antwerp are certain pictures by old masters In which tha jumble of ideas is as remarkable as the technique is fine. In one picture of heaven tha archangels are armed with bows and arrows. and in a painting of the "Murder of the innocents" tbe massacre is represented as tak ine place in a city of Holland.

The parental of the children are stout burghers, the Ro 1 man soldiers are Dutch policemen armed witaj muskets and the innocent infants are trans formed into solid schoolboys in bulgy woolen I trousers and jackets and hobnailed shoes. In most of the great religious paintings, in eluding those by Raphael, Murillo and Mlch el Angelo, the characters are represented aal Italian and Spaniard rather than persons of Hebrew type.

So, as a whole, what Bay Shore and Glen Cove regards equipages and horses may be gauged by a journey to these stations, watching trap and steed whirl away in clouds of dust, the smart harness, the neat limbed horses, the clever handling of reins, all in a picture that is worth seeing. On the Glen Cove roads the Maxwell traps are apt to be noticed especially, though these are a family of yachtsmen, not of drivers and riders. Howard Maxwell is to be seen on his capital saddle horse 'Possum, a sorrel, named after the famous Maxwell racing sloop of recent years.

Howard Maxwell most usually drives a cob to a two wheeler, a Hempstead cart, and he has beside a bay team that goes before a double seated phaeton. His children have a very fetching pony cart. John R. Maxwell, his brother, goes about in a gas automobile, a heavy, speedy machine, capable of its thirty miles an hour, a fashionable looking two seated equipage with a rumble on behind. The Maxwell livery is dark green.

"You want your fortune told?" "Your advertisement mentioned Glynology. I hardly know whether to get my fortune told or to take home a few bars or cakes of Glynology.

Or does it come in packages?" The seeress laughed, good humoredly. "Many people come to me to learn about that science," she said. "People who have tried all sorts of fortune tellers. They want something new. I pride myself on being as good a fortune teller as there is in the business, b.ut the old methods tire.

You must get up something out of the ordinary if you would attract attention." "Does the new 'ology' accomplish this?" "To a certain extent, naturally. It's the name I give my readings. The public at least That portion of it that cares for fortune telling has an idea there's something uncanny, strange and mysterious about an Look at astrology or phrenology. Fortune telling by cards or even palm reading sounds plain compared to it." "If a patron asks for a seance of glynology, what do you give him?" "Just fortuue telling. I lead them away from the word by asking if they would like to know what is in store for them through the cards, or if they would prefer a reading of their palm, or tbe casting of their horoscope.

I am also a medium, and if they are willing to pay enough I go into a trance, telling them what I see in the unknown world bearing on their lives. I give them anything they desire in the fortune telling line." "Isn't it more profitable to be an 'ologisf than a common every day fortune teller?" "Indeed it is. business has more than doubled since I adopted the new name. Now I have fifty customers a day, where before I hardly had twenty five." "And your patrons are principally the poor and ignorant who want to know about their sweethearts?" "You were never further from tbe truth. watching trap and steed whirl away in clouds LD styles of fortune telling are becoming too hackneyed for the up to date Brooklynite.

The prophets and seers, the clairvoyants anil the palmists, the seventh sons of the seventh sons, are finding it out. They must have something new and they have discovered what is needed. Just now the fad consists of "ologies." If you can peer into the future, cast horoscopes and predict largo fortunes and much othjr good luck, just add an "ology" to your name, jumble up all your methods into one and your own financial success for a timo at least is assured. At any rate these arc the plans evolved by several modern soothsayers whose environment in everyday Hats and tenement houses is hardly conducive to the implicit middle century belief in their infallibility that their gullible patrons seem to possess. There are several of theso professors of "ology" in the Eastern District.

One of them is a stout, matronly looking middle aged woman, who calls her science "glynology," because her Dame is Mrs. Glyn. If you were to meet this particular secress on a shopping expedition you would never dream that she peered into thn future for a consideration, but she does, and what is more, she is frank enough to confess that the business isn't what it used to be, even with the "ology" tacked on. If you ring the bell of an old fashioned frame house not far from one of the ferries, and inform the servant you wish to see Mrs. Glyn, you will be ushered into a neat but inexpensively furnished sittinirroom.

There is the same gloomy atmosphere that seems a component part of all I'orttine tellers' abodes, but the impression is wafted away when you see this particular prophetess, lot new Ladew livery. No other country place on the north shore is so closely up to the times as Is Elsinore in this regard. Its men wear the khaki livery, with high straw hats, a costume that is emphatically picturesque seen on a box seat.

"I get more 'old girls' than any other kind girls on the shady side of 30 or 40, who have about given up hope. When women of the higher grades of society call on me it is either about some love affair or how best they can keep their sons, husbands or fathers from late hours, drinking, dissipation and gambling. Of these many are firm believers in the efficacy of love powders or potions and a simple, harmless trick I play upon them is worth the telling.

"If I realize that a potion is wanted I repair to an inner room where I have previously put up a little Rochelle salts. In most cases the loose powder is to keep 'hubby' or brother at home and away from the club. The visitor is told to drop the powder into tea or other liquid at supper.

I read the papers closely and watch the tips they give, and in this way I have gained an intimate knowledge of race horses, so I pick out the horses I think most likely to win, and they play them. If they win, as they do occasionally, I am rewarded liberally the next time they come. "I have a good many callers who believe in spiritualism, and who are anxious to talk with some dead relative; but glymology does not undertake to go so far, so I have to refuse.

The sledge is lust, primitive, black, blind, perhaps unwilling or repentant or even self hating. The anvil is selfish idealism, enduring, stern, intolerant, uncompromising, high, disdainful. The candle is tolerance, seeing around the ideals with an infinite pity, a heart broken ecstasy of sacrifice on an altitude.

The knife is cynicism, realism; it cuts through everything to what it thinks the truth; it is terrible, splendid, pitiful, inevitable, irresistible. Eh?

Jersey Town of Which Humorists Are so Fond of Telling Abouf Has at Least One Claim to Distinction: Negroes Are Not Allowed to Live There. OBOKEN, that unique suburb of New York, which has been maligned by many and spoken of derisively from Maine to California, has one claim to dis tinction: It has only one negro family within its borders. is all the more remarkable because its neighbor, Jersey City, la full of colored people and outlying sections have also a large quota.

This fact is not generally known to New Yorkers or the people of the rest of the country, although it is the boast of Hoboken ites. Many reasons are given for the absence of the negroes, which form a large proportion of the population of Jersey City, which is only separated from Hoboken by the tracks of the Erie Railroad. Some people contend that it is the presence of so many Germans in Hoboken that serves to keep the colored folk away. It is facetiously observed that Germans and negroes do not mix well, but that the latter and Irish do, which accounts for the presence of the black man in'such numbers In Jersey City, where the Irish have as strong a hold on the city government and the bossing of things generally as the Germans have in Hoboken. Another reason advanced by some is that the negroes have too much pride to live in a town that has so much fun made of it as Hoboken.

They are very senslStve to raillery and chaff, it is pointed out, and could not endure the jeers and sneers of their fellows who live In other places of a less unsavory reputation. But others insist that the reason for the' failure of the negroes to "cotton to" Hoboken is that they are not wanted and are given the cold shoulder when they make inquiries with the object of taking up their abode there. It is even asserted tht the guardians of the peace when they see' negroes wandering about as if looking for rooms politely escort them to the borders of the town and forcibly impress on them there, with the aid of their clubs, that their room will be more appreciated than their company. The blue coats, it is further stated, are aided and abetted by their superior officers and by citizens, their motive being to preserve the present political complexion of the town, which is overwhelmingly Democratic. And in it might he mentioned that a peculiar condition of things exists in the town in this connection.

While the town is Democratic and the major portion of the population is composed of Germans, the Mayor Fagin is an Irishman. The Germans elected him over one of their own nationality by an overwhelming majority. Not only did they do this once, but three times. Mayor Fagln is now serving his third term as chief executive of the city, and it will be his last, for he has expressed himself positively on tho o.uostion of another term. The Germans arc talking now of running him for sheriff of the county.

He is independently rich and is only in politics for fun. Of the hundred and one reasons given for the diminutive size of the negro population of Hoboken probably the correct one is that there is no way for negroes to earn a livelihood in the city. Tho people are not wealthy enough to employ valets antf Vll, being one of the best women whips of fours in the country), bring out many different rigs.

The Ladew children, Miss Elise Ladew and Harvey Ladew, ride constantly, on beautiful mounts, always having a groom accompany them. Very distinctive and fashionable is the Of course I get the servants and working girls and women of the poorer classes.

That's only natural, but there are any number of men and women apparently of good education, breeding, and fair financial condition who come to see me. Poor men, though, are very scarce. They either haven't faith in the profession or else they would rather have roseate views of the future as the result of that half dollar spent in beer. Bah! I could almost be a Carrie Nation when I think of the money wasted. "Bankers, brokers, and sporting men come to see me," continued Mrs.

Glyn, "and I have many handsomely dressed ladies drive up in their carriages. As a rule the business men want a trance reading and are willing to pay well for it. Not so long since I told a man that he had better avoid a railroad journey he was going to take. He called several days later to tell me that the train had been wrecked and many lives lost. "On general principles it is always safe to tell a person not to take a Journey.

There is always the possibility of a mishap. If anything does happen your reputation is made. If it doesn't, no harm has been done. You have merely hinted at danger. "In giving advice I follow the maxims laid down in the Golden Rule and I am seldom in the wrong.

I have reunited many married couples by telling the wife to give in first and have prevented many girls from, going to their ruin by advising them to give up some men they told me of. I never gige a girl wrong advice. "Many girls come to ask me how to win some man vrtth whom they are infatuated, but whose station in life is above their own. I generally learn that there is also some young man of their own station whom they regard as uncouth and not genteel enough for them. In such cases I always advise against the 'polished villain' and to make them more satisfied with the young men who wants them I predict that riches are in store for him.

"I am happy to be able to say that hundreds of girls in Brooklyn are now happily married and living contentedly with their husbands, who on a word from mo might now be frequenters of dives and among the lowest dregs of humanity. "This is all a study of human nature and, while the fortune teller gets a splendid opportunity to exercise the faculty of reading character, at the same time she is continually studying. I believe there is much in palmistry and second sight, but it requires years andears of constant application to become a proficient palmist, and but few sons and daughters of men are really gifted with second sight. To my mind, intuition and knowledge of character and human nature are better than either in foretelling the future. "Everybody knows that most of the women who visit fortune tellers want to know about affairs of the heart.

Young girls want to know when they will marry and married women how to retain their husband's love. The majority of the latter Imagine the hus baud is in love with somebody else. While in some cases this may bo true, it is my invariable rule to tell the women that it is not and to advise them to overlook any little misstep the husbands may make. In nine cases out of ten what the wife imagines is love for another woman is merely a temporary infatuation or less, and, if she has patience and keeps her troubles to herself, ihe husband will eventually come to his senses. Girls who come to see me nearly always want, to know what their future husbands will look like and they would pay well for a photograph.
