Almost every one has a pet economy.
A person may spend lavishly in other
directions, but to respect to M par
ticular thing, he groans over every
penny he has to put out.
1t is a sad day for the feminine heart,
when a mans pet economy Is his wife's
clothes and the home they dwell in;
and this Is the burden of a plant a
woman has written to me.
She begins by saying that she has
been deprived of any spending money
for so long, even for the necessities of
life with the exception Of food, that she
has. almost come to look at 1t as her

Right here Is where the sympathy
that many housekeepers OF today might
otherwise feel for her Is going to die:
To have the privilege in this day Of
soaring prices to order any amount of
food and have the bills paid without a
grumble will seem almost paradisiacal.

But, alas, the poor lady has. She

sIovcn or a fool. the husband should no
more interfere in her province than she
should interfere In his business.
Now, the man in this particular case
must be in extremely comfortable cir
c~umstances, or he would not pay the
| bills for the table so placidly and
sweetly. But there Is something the
matter with his eyesight. He can see
that the family must have food, but he
Is blind to the fact that they also need
decent clothing. Also, he fails to real
lie that 1t is far more expensive to wait
until everything in the house la worn
out than 1t Is to supply things as they
are needed and to keep them In good
repair. He Is pursuing a penny-wise
and pound foolish attitude. which only
means a larger expenditure In the end
and he Is wreckinE his wife's health and
temper into the bargain,
Since all the world Is striking, why
does she not do her bit In that direc-
ton? Refuse to cook the dinner unless
she has the untensils with which to do
IL and the dishes to serve 1t on. REFUSE
to look after the house unless he sup
plies needed repairs.
She could rake him so desperately

Come and live in my bungalow this

near winter for you to start new nests
now" So the swallows, who thought
they would live in the warm chimney
instead of flying south with the other
birds, came to live inside the bunga-
low attic.
Jacko and JUMBO cleaned the nests
from the chimney, out came the smoke,
the furnace burned all right, and IN

Although Mercury and Jupiter are
In benefic aspect in the morning of this
day. according to astrology, Uranus is
adverse in the later hours.
It is a sway under which
will prosper, but evil reports may hurt
business in some way.
During this rule conditions are au-
spicious for the starting of newspapers
and magazines and there will be new
publications established in more thar
one state, it Is predicted.
Uranus Is in a place said to encour-
age the dissemination Of malicious ru-
mors, indulgence of gossip and increase
in dangerous propaganda.
The power of the malign planets to
stimulate SANDER and libel is believed
to be especially strong at this time, so
that the tongue and pen should be safe
guarded.
Men should be cautious in all love
affairs during this CONFORMATION, for
the seers foretell that they will be fool
lshly susceptible.
An international scandal of some sort
will startle the public before the holt
days, a~strologers predict.
Again thrift is recommended, for 1t
Is importast that Americans should
conserve tnelr since a neaVy
drain is being made IN them before the
country entirely recover from the war.
Trouble in the colonies Of Great
Britain Is foreshadowed. This may
bring sedition to the center Of the ma
tional life. The horoscope of the king
contains more han one sinister sign.
Next month Is to chronicle scenes in
congress that will be sensational, but
me- will make history hat will mark
national progress. Members. however,
should safeguard their health, for they
may be unusually susceptible to illness.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the
augury Of a quiet year. but they should
be satisfied to leave things as they are.
Childres born on this day are likely
to be kind, generous and clever. Girls
may not be fortunate in marriage.
