Tuesday, February II, 1918.

This is read by astrologers as an
unfortunate day, both Jupiter and
Mars being strongly adverse.
It Is a day in which military mat
ters may be much discussed unfaVor-
ably and changes In commands may
occur.
There Is a sinister sign indicating
reverses or disappointments In which
the United States army suffers.
The stars are not encouraging to-
day concerning large financial enter
prises. Investigations and criticism
seem to be presaged. These apply not
only to the war but to large corpora
tions Of every sort.
Planetary direction in regard to food
seems to foreshadOw a serious milk
shortage that will cause the loss OF
many young children.
All the seers foresee perils and in
creased mortality for the young and
they recommend that the nation make
haste to conserve its child life.
Heavy storms are prognosticated
These will be serious in their effect
upon certain war problems, 50 prep
arations to safeguard supplies are to
be made without delay.
ernment that makes for losses and ac-
cident.
This Is not an auspicious day for
making any journey, especially If it
be westward.
Increase in the birthrate will mark
1918, it Is predicted, and more boys
then girls will be born.
For two years astrologers have
prophesied that churches would be put
to some extraordinary use and this is
to be fulfilled early In the spring, they
now declare.
A woman who shall invent SUBJ
stitutes for material used in clothing
will gain fame and fortune.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is should
avoid losses and extravaganza, for
they may have many financial prob
lens during the year.
Children born on this day should
be trained in business methods, as
they may be too Artistic to make a
living. Girls have q menacing sign
for marriage.

DICK SHARES MARCIE'S SECRET,

After Chad and Mollie went home
last night, Dick came and sat down
beside me. For little while he said
nothing and then his arm stole about
me and he said: "It's pretty tough
luck for Mollie, isn't 1t, Margie?"
Eyes, Dick" answered. .1t breaks
my heart to hear her talk and to see
how brave she is. I don't think !
could possibly stand up under such
tragedy as she has done. She Is so
splendid. Tonight. just before they
left she told me that she would rather
have the baby as he Ii than not to
have him at all"
$50 would T." said Dick softly.
I turned quickly at that and looked
Dick squarely in the face. He must
have read my thoughts in my expires
sion.
surely I would. You feel that way
too. don't you. Margie?" he asked al
most tremulously. as he drew me 10
him to q close embrace.
Yes, I'm sure would rather have
a little blind baby than no baby al
ALL" whispered close to his ear. But
] hope there won't be any such sorrow
for us. dear"
"It Is true then. Margie. isn't itT
said Dick tenderly.
Eyes. dear, but how did you known
by the brooding look in your eyes
I think I knew II almost as soon
as YOU did yourself. and oh. how ]
have wanted to tell you how happy
"I did not think you cared 30 much
for children, Dick" I said.
The Washington herald., 1918-02-12

EVERY man in the world. I believe,
every decent, sincere man, wants a
child. Sometimes II Is an egotistical
desire to perpetuate ones personal
traits and talents" he said with his
little crooked smile, land sometimes
1t Is a better desire TO carry on in a
child what a man has not himself
been able to do in his life. Marriage
Is but partnership; parenthood is
: vastly more significant. 1t is the i'm
mortal aspect of marriage, for 1t in
wolves the future Of the race.
Through your child will come count
less other children and In the future
so that the perpetuation OF the race is
assured. and II the intelligent. healthy
and moral people do their part, direct
ed In the best channels."
And SO you are glad, Dick" I said.
You are willing to assume this re-
sponsibilityH" I asked as / nestled
up to him.
Much more SO than 1 was when
We were expecting Sonny. Margie.
Sometimes I have felt that We were
not going to have children and I felt
that II was perhaps the law OF COM
pensation working out its direct de-
cree on me, but. dear. / am feeling
better now for ] know that this baby
is coming to us to end everything but
our love for each other and our duty
to our children-to-be."

HUSBAND CATCHING

She tells herself she can never

Yet one glance over her bulging

Now, such girls are simply behind
