THURSDAY. JANUARY IT, 1919.

Mars is strongly adverse today. ac-
cordinS to astrology, and Mercury is
in evil aspect.
If the stars be interpreted Alright,
news concerning military affairs may
bring discomfort or dissatisfaction this
month.
There is sway indicating longer
service for the army than that count
ed on Immediately after the signing
of the armistice.
There is a sign making for debates
in Congress and in State Legislatures
that may have a disturbing effect upon
the public mind. but the stars presage
for the United States remarkable con-
ditions that will protect the country
from any grave crisis.
Under this configuration, newspaper
sensations appear to be promised.
The death of a persons of royal
blood is foretold for next month.
As the pendulum of human emotion
swings back from touching supreme
experiences, petty affairs may claim
attention. and the seers admonish men
and women to hold to their high ideals
against the urge toward reactions of
various sorts.
Work is indicated for all who seek
II and no one should be idle. IL the
vengeance of occult forces would be
avoided
Again music comes into the every
day life of Americans who have found
singing a pleasure. and the stars pres
age popular concerts and the multipli-
cation of orchestras and bands.
Children will focus much attention
in the coming weeks. A foreign mis-
sion in their behalf will bring about
widespread benefits
Early in the year one of the largest
organizations of women in the coun-
try will be disbanded. it is predicted,
owing to the completion of itsy work.
Extension of government effort TO
provide for the welfare of citizens
will be a feature of new national
program, the seers predict.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
be careful to keep from disputes of
litigation in the coming year. The
young will court and marry.
Children born on this day may be
rash and argumentative and often in
volved in Quarrels. These subjects of
Aquarius, however, are usually posses
sors of many friends.

over the snobbishness with which
women who are unacquainted meet
each other whether they come to-
gether in the home, society or the
business world
I'm particularly glad TO have the
girls take me up because although
the war has ended. life continues to
be an interesting confusion of human
ideas and ideals. And the women
who are employed reflect the effects
of the war in some new way. each
day, like a kaleidoscope which is con-
stantly shaken.
Some girls are afraid they will lose
their jobs and some are afraid they
can't. a few are afraid they will
have to marry and some are afraid
they will never have a chance.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND

. Did it ever occur to you that ev-
cry movie actress you have seen

ruIar- count their curls as their chief
beauty? In fact, many are leading
ladies just because OF their attrac-

discloses the fact that they bring
out all the natural beauty of their
hair by careful shampooing. not
with any soap or makeshift. but
with a simple mixture by putting a

get from the druggist) in a cup of
hot water and applying this instead
of soap. This fun cup of shampoo
liquid is enough so it is easy to, ap-
