Mrs. Wilson WOOdrOW'S Article
BY MRS. WLsok WOODROW,
The world famous writer on vital subjects.

The old Quaker lady expressed a good
deal Of human nature when she made
her celebrated remark:
Everybody is queer, Joshua, except
me and thee, n sometimes | think
thee is a little queer myself
To each Of US all the rest of the world
seems just a little bit askew, afflicted
with Crotchets and prejudices which
strike our superior intelligence as silly
and unreasonable; and when these are
continually forced upon our notice, we
are very apt to become impatient and
irritated. quite forgetting that our own
little peculiarities may be equally mad
dening to others.
Many a fine old family row has arisen
from a very slight difference In view
point.
Il have had several disputes with my
mother on the subject of whistling, -
a girl writes to me, and, for all she
says, | can not be convinced that
whistling Is a vulgar habit. Very often

tie the air; but my mother always in

order to keep her pleased, | have to
control my impulse TO whistle.
Il very well understand that whistling
In the street would be considered i'm
proper just as would be the case II
were to go along the street singing. But
If singing or humming at home is not
objected to, why should whistling be?
II would greatly appreciate 1t il you
would advise me whether whistling for
a girl Is regarded as vulgar, and Why"
1t is an old tradition never could
understand Just why-that feminine lips
must not quicker to a whistle. Per
haps the reason may be that most wom-
en- do it rather badly, although Mrs.
Shaw, in her day, became such an
adept at the art that she was invited
to whistle before royalty. Certainly,
too, Mrs. Shaw was not a person that
anyone would ever describe as vulgar.

I'm glad to know that" said the fox,
So he and the PipsiSewah hid under the
bushes, and. sure enough, pretty soon
along came Uncle Wiggily. And or his
paw he had a little basket with an apple
dumping in, just as the Pip had said,
Get al ready, now" whispered the
Pip to the fox. Remember III grab

A moment later along came poor
Uncle Wiggily. GU jumped the two
bad chaps, n in an instant they had
hold Of the rabbit gentleman.
Here! Wait a minute! Hold on"
cried Uncle Wiggily. What does this
We are holding on all right"
gurgled the Pip. as he kept a tight
grip on Uncle Wiggily's right ear,
while the fox had the left. We're
holding on all right, And this TIM

Uncle Wiggilv was holding on, also,
but he was holding to the apple dump
ling, And then he cried, as loudly as
Help Help! Help! Oh. please, some
body come and help get me away from
the Pipsisewah" ,
"Tn help YOU suddenly exclaimed
Noodle Flattail. the little beaver boy,
as he came sliding across the ice-cov-
cred pond. "I'l help you, Uncle Wig
gily!"
sneered the fox, You cant bite.
But, all of a sudden, as Noodle
rushed at the fox that bad chap felt
such a pain IN his left hind leg that
he had to let go Of Uncle Wiggliy's
ear. And then the little beaver boy
rushed at the Pipsisewah, and that bad
chap felt such a pain in his right hind
leg that he, too, had to let go the
bunny's ear. ,
Come on, Uncle Wiggily, run cried
j., Noodle. 81 bit the fox and Pipsisewah
with my nippers. and now you can get
away And Uncle Wiggily did, with
the apple dumping for Grandpa Whac---
UNI. The Pip and fox ran away to get
some salve for the places where Noodle
had nipped them with his big, orange
colored knawing teeth, which all beaV-
ers have.

they reached the dark den, ,

While Jupiter, Mercury and Mars

Initiative In business or commercial
enterprises will be well directed while
this CONFORMATION prevails, and there
will be many new organizations
launched at this time, 1t is p~rophesied,
Mercury gives promise to newspaper

There Is a sign Of great promise for
those who follow the law ms a profess

Again the stars seem to foreshadow
benefits for the army, which will be
r~eorganiEed wisely. Military men are
subject TO a direction OF the stars that
seems to presage influence and power
In government affairs, although none
will reach highest place.
Big events for the new year are pro-
phesied, N those most near in date
will bring many surprises.
/ Rational leaders will arise in the ma
TONS legislative bodies, the seers prom
Use. and these leaders will have spir-
itual as well as mental vision.
Venus is in a threatening aspect for
the affairs of women. 1t Is not an
suspicious day for them to pursue any
public ambitions.
The stars are not friendly to romance
today. 1t is not a lucky wedding day.
Ancient lore held aspects similar to
the one that rules as exceedingly un-
favorable for the wearing OF new cloth
ing, since accidents are likely to befaIl
and garments will not be in any way
satisfactory,
Theatrical affairs should he safe

Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of an active and successful

Children born on this day are likely
to be c'ever, industrious, generous and
resourceful. These subjects Of Sagit-
