DAILY HOROSCOPE.
MONDAY, JUNE 40, 1914

According to astrology this Is an ex-
ceedingiy unfortunate day. for Saturn,
Uranus and Venus are all in adverse
aspect
It has been foretold that Europe and
Asia would experience much unrest and
trouble during the summer. The stars
today are read as indicating increased
military activity in Europe and q serious
crisis in Asia
Under the sway OF Saturn and Uranus
II is well for men and women to be
exceedingly careful Of their health. Few
ers. which menace persons OF every tenn
perament. may be exceedingly prevalent.
The rule is held as exceedingly encour-
aging to all forms Of discomfort 1t in
creases the activity of the mind. tanning
rebellious impulses and fomenting all
moods OF bitterness.
Strikes that will be far-reaching in
their effects again are prognosticated.
In these, women VIII play a more and
more important part. the seers declare.
Great increase OF poverty and distress
are foretold for the autumn. Discomfort
among railway employees is predicted,
and the mines will continue to be bat
tie grounds.
A railway catastrophe Of unusual hor-
ror Is prophesied for late July or Au-
gust This will precipitate legislative ac-
ton. unless the messages OF the stars
have been misinterpreted:
While many Of the portents are threat
ening evil, there is still much good prom
ised. Crops will be large and many
States will enjoy great prosperity.
Country places are under a govern
ment that is reassuring, but cities will
be the centers OF ''seditiOn. riots and
destructive fires"
College students are subject to in
huences held to be exceedingly good. for
they give promise OF great attainments
In civic reforms and noble achievement
in bringing about better economic condi-
tions.
Persons whose birthdate IL is are
warned against false friends. They
should not lend money. Care Of the
health is enjoined. Men Of all ages are
in danger from the Establishments Of
young women. II the reading Of astrolo-
gers is reliable.
Children born on this day may be too
fond Of pleasure and Irritation. Boys will
be exceedingly generous. but they must
be taught to be strict in business meth
Ods Girls probably will be talented and
exceedingly attractive

LITTLE ADVENTURES IN MARRIED LIFE

VANITlES

The little French clock on the parlor
mantel struck one silvery note just as
McIlraine turned on the lights.

of her wrap. Not so late for a dance"
Yes, We were wise TO pass up that

Mac answered We could never have

He pulled out hisS cigarette box and
struck a match.

evening"" asked the wife. The idea
She had gone over to the mirror above
the mantel and was arranging and pat
ting her hair into place. Mac watched her
with amusement. She drew from some
mysterious hiding place about her person
a little vanity case, which she opened.
Out came a tiny pun. and on the reverse
OF the upturned lid he caught the CLINT
Of mirror.
Louise dahbed the end OF her nose
with the pun: leaned closer TO scrutinize
the effect; dabbed again, and passed the
pufr over her upper lip and chin. Then
she drew from her glove handkerchief
about eight inches square and made
several passes over her face with that.
She then drew back. looked critically at
her reflection. turning her head this way
and that, and turned back to the glass.

she could see her back hair.
BY this time she had evidently become

made several birdlike motions OF her
head. pulled out a lock, pushed In

made a gesture Of annoyance. turning
around again to get front view.
Mac spoke at last.

THAT loop Of hair Bas been sticking

told me of it, she exclaimed.
.'Pshaw! 1t doesn't show. What's the

WHY, the-the general survey. What

He threw back his head and laughed,
puffing out a cloud Of smoke.
And so would you retorted his
wife, IF you found that You had been

Louise looked hard at him for sec

with the poet Keats. Seyern's portraits
Of the young poet are among his best
known works.
When Ann Severn was a little girl she
showed a talent for painting and draw
ing and her father, hoping that she
might achieve something in this way,
set her to work making copies of the
famous paintings Of Duerer. Michael An
gelo and Raphael. Eventually when she
was about twenty-four she went to
Paris where she studied under AIRY
Schaffer, who was enjoying a great
vogue as teacher Of English artists In
Paris she painted a portrait of Lady
Elgin, the wife of the famous Lord
Elgin, and this picture brought her al

Whatever may be the mode Of dressing
the hair. the pompadour will never go out
Of fashion as long as there are elderly
women to wear IT. There is no arrange
ment so generally becoming to this type
and. again, II Is a style that allows Of
so many notifications that one form
can always be found to suit every type
almost without exception.
When the forehead happens to be too
high to make the brushed-up or the
brushed-back pompadour becoming. then
the hair may be parted little at one
side and be dropped slightly over the
forehead before taking 1t back This
can be done when the hair is thick and
luxurant 50 that no support is required
to keep the pompadour in shape.
ANY dropping. however, must always be
done with caution. To certain features
the lowering seems to impart coarse
ness, making the expression OF the face
far from pleasing. while another cast OF
features will be softened by a slight
fluffy dropping.
1t will be better to display too much
forehead by raising the hair than to
give a coarseness to the face in an effort
to conceal a portion OF it The hair
dressed high suggests a dignity even
though 1t may not always be as becom-
ing as IL might be.
The woman possessing q round, fat
face Is apt TO emphasize these lines by
wearing a perfectly round pompadour
that is the same height all around the
face This is a mistake. The face
should and can be more becomingly
framed. She can raise IL higher over
the forehead and pufIsit slightly at the
sides OF the face, or. in the case of the
forehead being too Nigh to do this, the
front hair can be divided into three
strands. taking the center one over a
small hair pad first and pufhng we'll
the strands at the sides OF the face
before pinning them down
This creates a broken pompadour
which is apt to be much more becom-
ing to the type IN question than the
straight, all around one. A very broad.
fat face. or one with high cheek bones,
will need a little more pufing at the
sides than what might be termed the
normal fat round face. The hair should
form a background TO the high cheek
bones and then they will appear less
prominent.
An arrangement becoming to elderly
women OF the slender type, whose faces
are long and thin, is to part the hair
and roll il back from the face in
puffy effect over the tips Of the ears
10 the back, there forming a coil mid
way between the crown OF the head
and the nape OF the neck and pinning
1t down with handsome pins.
This is the type that can wear combs
we'll So when these are in fashion
they should be worn. BY combs mean
the high ornamental kinds. The fat
ones are generally becoming. In fact
combs and fancy hairpins are always
an improvement to the coiffure of the
elderly woman. and may be used as
good taste demands.
Jet ornaments look well in both black
and white hair. but not in brown. For
such locks tortoiseshen should be
chosen. Cut steel is very pretty for
decorating gray or white hair.
While the pearly gray pins and
combs are equally good. they are not.

was commissioned to paint the portraits
Of various members Of the English royal
family. When she was twenty-nine she
married Sir Charles Thomas Newton,
keeper of the antiquities of the British
Museum. After Mrs. Newton's marriage
she abandoned independent work and
spent her time making drawings Of the
antiquities of the British Museum, a
work in which her husband was deeply
interested. Her drawings served her
husband to illustrate his books and
his lectures. But the brilliant young
painter did not live many years, for she
died when she was but thirty-four.

however. as effective as the cut steel
The latter for evening and the former
for day wear are the rule. Jet Is good
style at any time.
The hair parted softly and the back
hair braided and taken around the head
in coronet fashion Is becoming to the
average slender woman. the braids lying
fiat or raised on edge before pInning, Is
considered becoming to the height and
the type Of face OF the wearer. When II
Is seen that the hair rolled back IL not
quite becoming, the result will often be
satisfactory If the hair. after being part
ed, Is waved and then brought down the
sides of the face.
The "grande dame" style Of woman
will carry the rolled d-back eoiffure well,
while the mOtherly face will probably

waved hair.
The all-around-the-head pompadour-
that Is, the pad over which the hair II
brushed. 10 a style becoming to middle
aged women, generally, IL the pompadour
is always a little smaller in the back
than in front. When the lower part OF
the face is heavy the pompadour should
be broad below the ears. never drawn
back, because this will bring the lower
part Of the face into greater prominence.

right line; then the back ARRANGEMENT
is very easy matter.
To frame the face becomingiy Is the
difficulty. 1t can be done, however, and
the result will be well worth the effort.
The pompadour once satisfactory, all the
hair should be taken to the crown Of the
head and arranged according to the STYLE
In fashion. This may be a twisted coil,
bratds wound round and round, A group
Of puffs. or broad. loose knot. One can
not go very wrong especially II the facts
given in previous articles have not been
forgotten. but the handglass should
be used freely. The head should be view
ed from all angles.
Another thing to bear In mind Is that
there must be no drawn look about this
couture. After the hair is completely
dressed. with the help Of the handglaSs.
the hair should be patted here, pulled
there. or fuffed a little, perhaps. until
the effect is entirely becoming The locks
must seemingly be a loose mass from the
nape OF the neck and from over the
forehead TO the top of the head. where
the hair is pinned down. At the same
time, needless TO say, there should not
