Daily Horoscope

Astrologers read this as a most
, unlucky day. for Mercury rules ad-
versely and Venus is in evil place.
Actors and actresses may find this
sway under which they are
thwarted in big hopes, but the stars
!. promise better things in the future.
Freedom and independence for
. those who desire to reach the
heights by hard work in the theater
seem to be foreshadowed through
some sort of cooperative plan.
. The idea OF cooperation is strong
ly stimulated by the stars and the
seers predict that the development
of plans for the future will include
household innovations in which the
many will profit.
Women should be most wise and
cautious in all business matters
while this configuration prevails.
They are warned that many of their
own sex will be dangerous to deal
with, because of reckless schemes s
and even fraudulent enterprises.
It is declared that this year viii
mark their growth of opportunity
for women and on this account there
will be inevitably some who misuse
the chance to undertake novel ven-
lures in business or politics.
This is not a lucky wedding day
since Mercury as well as Venus
frowns. Letters may bring un-
happiness and disappointment.
The theater may not find this a
favorable date for any new VEN
ture and it is held as a menacinS
date for players as we'll as plays.
Steady increase in the birthra,e
Is prognosticated and there is like
ly to be a greater number of girls
than boys
During the war radical changes
in civilian clothing were prophe-
sled and although they are not YET
apparent they will be introduced
gradually, it is asserted by those
who read the stars.
Education and educators will
continue to focus attention all
through the summer. Important
reforms will raise academic stand
ards and professors will benefit.
Again danger of loss to mer-
chants and importers who deal In
things especially attractive to wo-
men Is foretold, and 1t will come
through organized action OF some
sort
Persons whose birthdate IL is
should be very conservative in all
business matters during the COM
ing year. Young womena will be
sought in marriage. -
Children born on this day may
be inclined to be careless and too
fond of company. These subjects
OF Aries are usually talented and
extremely attractive to persons of
opposite sex.

That Headache

What is its cause? What Is its
type? Headache is a symptom and
can be traced to its source. Do not
treat ii with patent pain killer
and ignore it's real meaning. Go to
your physician and tell him just
what manner of pain is troubling
you, for there are many reasons for
headache.
There is the nervous" headache,
due to worry or other emotional
factors. The 'anemic' headache due
to a lack of red corpuscles in the
blood; the toxic" headache, the
EYE strain" headache, and many
others.
Nervous headache Is generally
pleasantly affected by a change of
environment, by stroking the head
or back of the neck or by the ap-
plication of a light galvanic current.
The anemic type is usually indicated
by a feeling of tightness about the
forehead and is eased by lying
down, showing that there is not
quite enough blood to supply the
brain when the patient is standing
erect. Go to the doctor for a gen.
eral building up.
The toxic headache, due to chemi-
cal changes taking place in the
blood, Is evidenced by dull and heavy
and sometimes splitting pain accom-
panied by dizziness. Even the men,
tai faculties may be affected ac-
cording to the degree of auto in
toxication.,
All types cannot be outlined here,
but this is enough to show you how
utterly useless is the taking or
dope" for any OF these when they
so plainly indicate that nature is
warning you to remove the cause.

What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall.
VIRGINIA.

Tho real origin of Virginia is
curious and somewhat unexpected.
1t means "flOurishinG" and comes
from an old Latin Eensa who called
themselves Verginius. Their name
was derived in turn from vireo,
meaning to flourish, and was con-
nected to the word "ver." translat-
cd as spring. Virginia was the
name of the far-famed orsini fam
lily.
The more popular and prevalent
belief regarding the origin of Vir-
ginia has always been that she
came from the Latin virgo, mean
ing "A virgin" Indeed. the first in
stance of her use in England was
in the time of Queen Ellzabe tn
when Sir Walter Raleigh named his
American colony Virginia in honor
of the Virgin Queen.
1t was under a similar belief that
Bernadin de St. Pierre called the
heroine of his tropical Arcadian ro-
nance, Virginia. The widespread
popularity of this story in England.
France and Germany brought Vir-
gtnia into enormous vogue through
out Europe. France still adores her

mental memory OF the famous

Likewise the first white child born

vogue. The south has always

fortunately has been contracted to

and charm. The hawthorne bud,

Is This Your Type? By sss:: s;:: :;.!i:: 1sSo0A
THE WOMAN THAT'S TALL.

THE WOMAN THAT'S TALL.
So many of our modern American
novelists and story writer's have
made a speciality lately of petite
heroines that the woman who is of
more than average height needs a
little boosting. The woman OF five
feet two who is so sorry" for the
woman of five feet seven needs to
be reminded that when the Greeks
and Romans depicted their god
desses who were nothing il not the
embodiment of one or another type
of feminine beauty-Nenus, Juno.
Minerva and Diana-they made
them tall. Hence the woman of
more than average height came to
be spoken of as "divinely tall"
You could quote any number of pas
sages from classical literature to
show that the writer's of antiquity
always thought of these fair divini-
ties as of extraordinary height.
AS you look on down the pages OF
history you will see that Henry
VIII, who was indeed a great con-
noisseur on feminine beauty - as
why shouldn't a man who had five
wives be?-was a great admirer of
tall women, which was really all
the worse for the tall women. When
after the death of Jane Seymour he
was in search of a fourth wife he
was chiefly influenced to choose
Anne of Cleves, a Dutch princess
who could not speak word of
English, because ii was reported
that she was endowed with great
size of person." Some apparently
sriteful contemporaries say that
this height was the only thing she
had to her credit, for her COM
plexion was pock marked and mud
dy. and her only grace was the
ability to do fine needlework."
However that may be. she seems
from her portrait by Holbein to
have been a charming princess and
deserved better fate than that
which awaited her.
Kings more than once were in
fuenced in the choice between one
OF two or three princesses because
of height. The idea was apparently
that the tall queen wore the robes
of state to advantage and looke1
majestic whether she really was or
not. The due du Maine. who mar
ried Louise Benedicte de Bourbon,
the eldest of the natural children
of King Louis XIV of France and
Madame de Montespan. chose that
daughter of the king in preference
to her sister because she was per-
ceptibly taller. 1t seemed to be
taken for granted that this was a
distinct advantage.
For 4 tall character in literature
turn to Victor Hugo's Man Who
Laughs" and there you will find Je-
siana, a woman who exerted a Gu
rious fascination over many TT
would be difficult to conceive a
more magnificent creature" says
Victor Hugo. She was very tall
too tall. Her hair was of that tint
which might be called red gold"
But that Is another story. Again
when summing up her charms Hugo
says: She was a cumbrous type
of beauty. She usurped rather than
charmed; she trod upon hearts; she
was of earth earthly"
Apparently. though Hugo had to
admit that she was magnificent. he
did not entirely admire her type.
Balzac. however, Is French writer
who makes some OF the most add
mirable of his feminine characters
tall. There is Eugenie Grandet, OF
whom he says she was both tall
and strongly built. '.She had moth

HATS INCREASE OR
LESSEN THE HEIGHT

tall slender woman has more
leeway in the choice OF hats than
a short stout woman.
A hat with a broad dropping brim
will lessen the height while a hat
with a brim rolling up on one side
seems to increase it.
short stout woman should
cboosc a hat with crown higher
on ono side. as this will increase
tho height. The same effect is hao
by placing the trimming toward the
back of the hat.
