HOROSCOPE.
The stars incline. but do not compel"
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1914.

/ Astrology finds this a day in which the
| stars are not kindly in their guidance
Uranus rules most strongly, the planet
aspect being distinctly malefic-
1t is a confguration most unfortunate
| for romances or love affairs The rule
is held to tend toward strange and unfor-
tunate infatuations which bring disillu-
sions and trouble.
Under this government mental disturb
anco= are said to be common. Unless
the ives Cpersons born between jan
uary 20 and February 49, are on their
guard they may be impulsive, sarcastic,
and eccentric.
Since the planet is believed to govern
the organs of curiosity, increasing the
activity OF the mind, there is an undue
tendency to gossip while the rule en-
dures.
The aspect is not favorable for travel.
The sign is most unlucky for aviation
and for transportation in electrically
propelled conveyances. An accident on a
railway in New York is foretold
The growth of strange cults is denoted
by the stars. Revivals of ancient super
stitions will be more numerous than in
previous years, the seers predict
Church affairs are subject to many in
fiuences which tend toward dissensions
and changes. Religious troubles are
stubbornly prophesied. In certain coun-
tries sacred edifices. and shrines will be
desecrated.
Troubles for the President of Para
quay are foretold for next month Earth
quake shocks in Brazil are predicted.
The rapid spread of syndicalism in
France will cause much unrest during
the autumn and winter Sensational
events are foreshadowed
The SIM cIOsa N -
Mars and Saturn in parallel with the
radical Moon. indicates continued trouble
for Austria and the possible death Of the
Emperor.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
not make any important changes. They
have rather an exacting year before
them, but the aspect is most promising
for doctors, chemists, engineers. lawyers,
and those who are engaged in the iron
industry
Children born on this day will be alert
and quick to act. They may have keen
imagination and should be watched lest
they develop the habit of untruthfulness

SAooI Dress for Little Girls.

TO PLEAT RUFFLES.

Now that nearly every lingerie waist
shows a pleated ruffle OF some kind, the
problem of laundering them to look al
most like new confronts US.
II the ruffles are ironed first, then re-
move the needle and shuttle from the
sewing machine and adjust the ruffle
attachment. You can then run the hem
of the ironed ruffle through and it makes
II look almost like new.
II is best to use the long gauge for
them unless the ruffles are very narrow.
A very fine white cotton is better to
use when hemming light-colored silks
than a sewing silk, as it sinks into the
material better than the twisted silk.

Harold Lockwood. the famous Famous
Player. is now playing with Henrietta
Crcssman in The UnwelcOme Mrs.
Hatch" under the direction of Allan
Dwan. This is indeed a distinction. but
wholly worthy Of this versatile, am
bilious young actor.
Mr.. Lockwood has gained fame through
hard. painstak!ng work from the time
he left college to become an actor until
the present day. 1t is a curious fact
that Edwin S. Porter was his first d.
rector when Harold lockwood entered
the movies and today that gentleman
is using his weIl-directed efforts towards
Mr.. Lockwood's present day success.
Film lovers will remember the beauti-
full part Mr.. Lockwood played in Hearts
Adrift'' and also in Tess Of the Storm
Country" In both plays he was featured
as Mary Pickfords co-star.

Famous Women
Her Birthday and Yours
4. Diana Of PoitierS.

Diana, Of Poitiers, about whom such
glamor Of romance has been woven.
was a widow of tlirty-nIne when she
gained supremacy over the young prince
who was destined to come to the French
throne as Henry ". He was at that
time only eighteen years old The young
prince seems to have been dominated
rather than bewitched by this capable
woman. Yet his slavery was complete.
Before he knew her the liveries Of his
retainers were green and black. but after
that, during his entire life, he adopted
black and white for the colors of his
liveries, and as the coIors in which he
himself always appeared. Black and
white were the mourning colors of the
widow Diana.
Diana was married when. she was
EEixteenNto the Grand Seneschal of Nor
mandy. and for the next sixteen years
she was occupied with the domestic life
of the Grand Seneschal Then when
her husband died she seems to have
aspired toward something more eventful
than the retired life Of a widow. She
was a beautiful. broad shouldered, full
throated woman. Her beauty was not
the sort that fades with the passing of
youth. But it was her force of character,
her indomitable courage and executive
ability rather than her beauty that gave
her the powerful position TO which she
aspired.

SKIRT STYLES.

In skirts, besides the many varieties
of long tunics, you will see other inter-
esting styles, for there are skirts that
flare at the foot, skirts with peplums,
skirts with plaits or ruffies. and skirts
that are perfectly plain. Pockets, by the
way, are almost taken for granted nova

Prince Diam went at 1t quite syste-

even had a system for preserving her
good looks, much in advance of the
other women of the day. She used to
rise at 5 o'clock in the morning and
take a cold bath-an unheard of per-
Torrance in those days. Then she rode
or hunted for two or three hours, came
home and went to bed again for the
morning. Her diet was abstemious, and
though she figures in all important court
events. sharing the honors on terms Of
perfect friendliness with the Queen
Catherine de MediCi, the Kings lawful
