the gift for Alice? In mat case, he
certainly would be in her power!
1 decided that Alice didn't know.
Give that spoiled young woman her
due, she would be no parry 70 a crime!
Tony's motive in the presentation OF
the gift was something that couldn't
fathom!
Alice. OF course. had social prestige.
The entree to her lovely country home
was valuable. from the social point of
view. Particularly valuable to a gam
bier. such as Tony, He knew that.
For Tony. beyond the fact that he
was presentable-looking youth with
fairly agreeable manners, had no So
cial status. Alice's patronage. then,
was useful. Perhaps he'd bought that
patronage with the diamond bracelet.
1 wondered.
OF course. Alice's acceptance of the
gift did compromise her. Tony knew
that well. He gauged her greedy love
of jewelry.
AS though she'd read my thoughts.
and desired to break their awkward
trend. Alice suddenly said:
We're just as serious as though this
were a Quaker Meeting! Do let's

rupted. doesn't 1t? I've a good mind
to call him up. and invite him over to

CORNELIA.

Fortunate Is she who bears the
name of Cornelia, which through
the centuries has been symbolic of
all that Is beautiful and reverent
in motherhood. Not only has Cor
nelia a heritage worthy of an en-
press: coming as she does. from the
distinguished old Roman gems OF
Cornelius, but her memory Is i'm
mortalized by Latin legend. which
makes her the mother Of the
Gracchi and the heroine Of one OF
the most beautiful tributes to
motherhood.
Some etymologists endeavor to
trace Cornelia back to the two
words cornu belli: meaning a war
horn but the consensus OF opinion
is that she had no existence previous
to the first woman so called who
was the daughter OF Publius Cor
nelius Scipio Africanus /. and the
mother of the Gracchi. She seems
to have inherited from her gallant
warrior-father a spirit of pure. lofty
dignity which made her the highest
type of Roman motherhood.
When, according to the legend, the
matrons of the most fashionable
circle of Roman society were gos-
siping over the ancient Roman
equivalent for tea and exhibiting
their gem collections for the edifi-
cation and envy of each other, Cor
nelia alone had no glittering dis
play. But. summoning a slave. she
had her twelve beautiful children
brought to her, and, laying her
hands on the shoulders OF the Grac-
chi. said proudly: These are my
Jewels"
The great historians OF ancient
Rome have carefully recorded the
incident making Cornelia superior to
all the noble Roman ladies of her
time.
Cornelia's popularity as a fem
mime name throughout Europe is
due to the martyred Pope Cornelius
whose relics were brought to Com
peigne by Charles the Bald. In the
Low Countries, Cornelius became
Keetje or sometimes Kee. Nelson
Is a Dutch rendition of Cornelius.
But though Cornelia's jewels may
have been her children, she had a
talismanic stone. the turquoise. 1t
is said to protect its wearer from
the danger attendant upon travellers
and to bring them good fortune
when they see the new moon re-
fiected on its surface. Saturday is
her lucky day and one her lucky
number. Holly, signifying fore
sight. is her flower.

MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1920.

syndicate.)
Mercury rules strongly for good
today. according to astrology. Sat.
urn and the SIN are mildly adverse.
1t is most auspicious sign for
publicity and is read as denoting
great activity among writers.
The stars seem to indicate a
business and editorial branches Of
periodicals and newspapers.
1t is a sway most promising for
messages and should be beneficial
for diplomatic negotiations.
At this time malefic influences
may be strong for the King OF Eng
land. the Sun being afflicted by Ju-
piter and near the conjunction of
Mars.
Political chaos is foreshadowed
for the next few weeks and many
men may find their stars of des-
tiny treacherous.
Losses in public funds through
fraud or forgery are foretold and
there may be much discussion re-
garding wastefulness.
This is read as an unpromising
day for those who would seek posi-
tions or would better their status.
Since the ingress Of the winter
quarter took place in the seve tn
house. the foreign relations Of the
United States should be more and
more satisfactory.
Saturn today threatens a pro-
longation of bad weather. Seismic
disasters are indicated.
Switzerland and the West Indies
may have a period of great de-
preston.
Again race troubles seem to be
indicated, and the seers counsel the
practice OF the ideals Of universal
brotherhood.
Pulmonary diseases will focus the
attention OF physicians during the
later months of this year.
Fires in theaters or places OF
amusement seem to be presaged by
the stars.
Persons whose birthdate il is
have the augury of a busy year
with travel and change.
Children born on this day are
likely to be quick ana sensitive.
They should be also extremely
lucky.

gentleman. He sailed up in the air,
far away from the Pip, and then he
came down. with the kite, on a soft
bed of leaves in the woods and
wasn't hurt a bit. And Uncle Wig
gily said Sammie's kite was as good
as an airship.
Then the bunny uncle and the lit
tie rabbit boy had more fun flying
the kite, only Mr.. Longears didn't
take any more sails up near the
clouds. And the Pip had no souse
for supper that night, which served

HEAD NURSE SAYS
HUNGER OR APPETIZER

There Is a difference, you know.
Hunger is physical; appetite mental.
1t is the spoiled child Appetite"
that makes most of our digestive
troubles. The man who eats an ice
cream soda or bits of candy at inter-
walls during the day; the woman
who beguiles the hour with little
lunching here and there in the
course of the day. and the child who
spends his penny for candy are
humoring their appetites and NOT
appeasing their hunger.
The home nurse should insist
upon her family studying to a GER
tain extent their bodily needs, and
she should see that they are well
supplied with the nourishing food
that hunger demands and that ap-
petite will accept. Appetite Is q
stimulant to digestion and without
ii we are liable to digest badly. II
the body needs a proteid or tissue
builder. and it is decided that the par
ticular form of proteid shall be beef
steak, let us by all means get the
cooperation of the appetite by
cooking it well and serving it in
vitingly. The same thing is true OF
carbohydrates or energy-producing
foods served on our tables generally
in the form of vegetables. bread,
oils and sweets.
The essential thing is to refuse to
be led astray by appetite which viii
pile UP in the body carbohydrates
in excess of its need, and produce
too much fatty tissue. Or 1t gives
the body more protein than it needs
for tissue building. and this gives
the excretory organs, particularly
the kidneys, too much work to do,
so we have & condition OF disease.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND

Uncle Wiggily.

Uncle Wiggily took his place in

is the faulty part of the face, so far
as beauty is concerned"
And that is what the dilated nos
trils always in dicate, generous in
halation of life and OF fresh air as
well. You seldom find a person with
dilated nostrils who suffers from
any sort of lung or throat disor-
ders, nor among those who have a
grabbed, narrow point of view are
there many with dilated nostrils.
This belongs to a person with a
broad, full-blooded outlook on life.
Balzac describes Felicite de
Touches, who is said to have been
patterned after George Sand, as be-
ing of this type: Her nose, mar
row and straight, mas high-cut nos
trils, with enough of passionate di-
lation to show the rosy CLEAN Of
their delicate lining" Moreover,
according to Balzac, this nose some
times Quivers under emotion, as di-
lated nostrils frequently do.
Rigid nostrils," says Balzac, "be-
d curtain SIdllO"neSS. Inc
nose of a miser never quivers; 1t is
tightly set like his lips; everything
in his face is as close shut as him
self"
Unquestionably the dilated nos
trils indicates very often something
of pride and haughtiness. There is
a slight tendency to dilation of the
nostrils in the face of the woman
who is temperamentally a coquette.
No great operate star ever sang
the role of Carmen without consid-
erable dilation of nostrils.
If you are interested in this type
of face, look up one of the portraits
that Sir Joshua Reynolds painted of
that famous professional beauty of
eighteenth-century England-NeIly
O'Brien. 1t is said that in this por-
trait and in no other did Reynolds
paint a woman exactly as she ap-
peared without any artificiality.
