HOROSCOPE.

Mars in evil place today is offset by

During this sway there may be dis
content and criticism in the army,
owing to promotions and honors that
are distributed to officers and men.
The planetary sway makes for rest
lessness and dependency among sOr-
diers. but these moods are only the
reaction after the hard exactions OF
active service, astrologers point out,
and will give way to energetic WORK
in which rewards will be gained.
This is not a lucky day for railway
journeys. as accidents seem imminent
There Is a promising sign today for
effort in small business ventures.
Teachers have the most promising

Jane! Jane! Be game" Daddy
whispered to me. Never before had
| seen him so shaken. 1T must
come out right. Well make it. But
today, let's follow mothers lead.
She's got some definite idea about
the thing, | guess-or | hope"
Mothers first lead was to place me
at the table between da ddy and Dr..
terteis, not next to my husband,
where a war bride ought to be. Then
she rushed the conversation through
Bob's experiences. and brought out
the leading facts which we all wanted.
Bob had come home on the staff
Of brigadier general. That officer.
who was in Washington. had given
Bob a short furlough- In a week
they would so back to remain with
the army on the Rhine indefinitely.
Nothing positive, of course, but that
was his chiefs surmise, Bob said.
Then he told us of trench fight
ing, most of the time with his eyes
on my face. but never once with an
intimate glance; always as he used
to look at me ir that platonic stage
of our affection which lasted all one
summer up in the north woods.
At last mother persuaded him to
tell how he had been hurt He said
that he hadn't a wound or a scar.
He had only been shell-shocked and
was quite recovered But he felt aw-
fully sorry for some poor devils who
hadn't a scratch to show but who
would go the rest of their days with
only half their brains in working
order
We'll, young man, if you've brought
all of your brains home with you,
which I'm inclined to doubt, I'd like
to see you for a while in the Ii
brary," said daddy as mother rose
from the table. Then he transferred
me to DIR. Certeis and taking his
tall son by the arm, marched him
away for a long conference.
Certeis installed me in my favorite
nook in the great divaa before the
fireplace. Mother and Chrys clus-
tered close TO question him

MY dear" said an old woman to
a bride. there Is just one genuine,
reliable, Observation-Disclosures, follow
this-rule- e-and-you-cannot-fai recipe
for retaining husbands affection
and making matrimony a grand sweet
song and it is this-be pleasant to
live with.
''All the other dope on the subject
is bunk and buncome, and false pSo-
phecies, generally, that fail you in
your hour Of need.
Very few women have ever found
this out. AS rule, wives pin their
faith of one of two theories. They
either go in for doing their duty as
wives, or keeping young and beau
tiful, and as husband pacifiers nei-
ther OF these theories works.
mo man ever fell in love with a
woman for her virtues, or kept in
love with her because she continued
to practice them. Furthermore, no
woman can do her full duty towards
her husband without making him
hate her. No other human being is
so irrita ting as a paragon. and no
woman can take shorter cut to the
divorce court than to enter into mat
rimony with the settled determine
ton to run her husband and her
home on the higher-lfe schedule.
For a woman to expect to keep
her husband in love with her by
keeping young and beautiful and
maintaining the waist line of 20
is equally hopeless. IT simply can
not be done. Time, work and worry
are bound to rob the cheek of its
roses and the hair of its gold or jet
and turn the figure into a feather bed
or a skeleton.
''No matter how frantically a wom-
an holds on to her youth, or how
artfully she seeks to camoufage its
loss. there is bound to come the in
evitable hour when she has to face
the fact that she is no longer a good
locker, but n has-been.
where is she then If her only
hold on her husband is corset
string? She is doomed for the
scrap heap. for being married
doesn't impair a mans eyesight, and
he is bound to see that every young
girl who crosses his path is a liv-
ing picture that puts his wife into
the chrome class.
But it is far otherwise with her
IL she has had sense enough to per-
ceiVe that q man doesn't care
whether a woman does her duty
by him or not. so long as she sur
rounds him with love and admira-

FAVORS BUILDING
FOR RED CROSS
Single Headquarters for
Local Branches Urged by
Miss Boardman.

Erection of a building to be perm
of Columbia Chapter Of the Red
Cross, with sufficient space to ac-
commodate various branches now
scattered throughout the city. and
maintenance Of the 10i chapter aux
iliaries so that they will be able to
render prompt service when needed.
are recommended by Miss Mabel T.
Boardman, member OF the executive
committee OF the National Red
Cross and second vice chairman Of
the District chapter.
Since tho entry Of the United
States into the world war. tho Dis
trict chapter has multiplied t-nfold,
and has perfected a working orEa nj
zation which includes more than
1900 Washington women. Since
signing OF the armistice and rc-
snltant decrease in demand for Rcd
Cross supplies. doubt has arisen in
the minds of many OF tho workers
as to what the future Of the chapter
shall be.
In addition TO the auxiliaries the
present organization Of the District
chapter includes eight branches as
follows: Motor Corps, teachin, cen
ter. comforts committee. home service
section. salvage department. can,ren
service, Red Cross House at Waller
Reed Hospital and Holiday Housy At
Forest Glen. Md, which is equipped
as rest house for convaIescent wom-
en- in government departments.
A new feature which Miss Board
man thinks should be inauEurajcd in
the new headquarters, is cooking
classes. in which especial emphasis
should be laid on children's diet.
