child raising. There had been sew
eral incidents which almost verged
on tiffs with regard to the child
One had been when he discovered
his mother -in-law kissing the tiny
rosebud face of the new arrival: The
other when the efficient young per-
son in the nurses uniform reported
Internationally that Mrs. McKim in
sisted on rocking the baby to sleep
and il the schedule were to be brok-
en- arbitrarily, she, the nurse, must
abandon the case.
Darlington had constituted him
self ruler of the nursery thence
forth and Mrs. McKim, highly indit-
nant and wearing an air of deep in
jury, absented herself from that
part of the house until he had left
and the nurse was engaged with her
meals downstairs. Then she would
slip up and cuddle her tiny grand
daughter to her hearts content.
Doris saw the child so little that
she could scarcely awaken any in
terest in 1t. Except for the over
powering weakness she felt that it
might have been anybody's baby.
Il suppose We ought to name it,"
she remarked indifferentIy to Car
rington one night.
Don't call her it, Doris" he pro-
tested. Well have to name her
quickly just to make you regard
her as a definite individuality. I
think well call her Lucia"
why Lucia?" queried Doris with
raised brows. Il was going to name
her Dora after Mama"
Lucia WAS NV mothers mama you
recall, Doris. 1t is more euphonious
with Darlington than Dora"
But Mama will be so disappoint-
ed. I'm sure she thinks we will call
her Dora"
Carrington's ready shrug was his
only reply.
You don't like Mama" Doris ac-
.cused him.
Your mother is a very estimabIe
woman" was his careful reply. but

own daughter. Besides, we may

Then, with a quick glance at him,
she bit her lip.
Darlington looked at her in si-
lence for a long time.
Doris" he said slowly, "as a
mother you disappoint me greatly"
Only as a mother?" questioned
Doris with a smile that held a trace
of bitterness, as she rose and left
the room.

Astrologers read this as rather a
doubtful day. Although Jupiter and
Mercury are in benefic aspect. Ura-
nus rules with adverse power.
During his sway advertising
SHOULD receive great impetus.
Publicity in all forms will be great
ly in demand, especially in the for
warding of personal ambitions
Novel methods of using the news
papers for political propaganda will
be devised, and publishers will
benefit.
There is a sign read as most prom
Using for members Of the legal pro-
fession. A lawyer next month will
receive an appointment of higher
honor.
Education again will focus at
tention and reforms will be widely
advocated. Legislators will be in
terested in a movement to extend
government aid.
While there is the prognostica-
ton of success for lawyers and
writer's or editors, there will be
also need OF watchfulness, for sim
lister stars will cause trouble.
Uranus is in a place believed TO
foment envy and jealousy to which
women will be peculiarly sensitive
at this time. These impulses of
enmity will be due to personal am
bition rather than to love.
The evening of this day will be
unlucky for love affairs and is not
favorable for weddings.
Great numbers of cases will
crowd the law courts during the
next few months, astrologers pre-
dict.
Uranus continues in an aspect
that will increase libel suits and
spread scandals.
Divorces will be numerous and
again it is prophesied that marriage
laws will be widely criticised and
discussed.
Secret crimes that seem to con-
tradict the divinity of mans origin
arc likely to spread and there will
be revelations concerning them that
emphasize the need of right think
ing.
Persons whose birthdatc it is
have the augury of a busy year
Removals or charges may not be
fortunate.
Children born on this day are
likely to be quick, gifted and rather
hard to satisfy.

The cooling of her wee daughter
was a transformation to Doris. 1t
seemed almost as though she had
given every ounce of her spirit TO
the little one. Her vividness of mind
and body, all the innate vivacity was
sapped. Whether the stormy pc
riod of her early married life had
worked some subconscious effect. or
whether the exhaustion of birth was
a lasting phenomenon, it was i'm
possible to say. 1t may have been
that she sensed from the first how
little her child would mean to her;
how completely it was to be domi-
mated by the Carripgton influence.
Darlington himself directed its
tiny life from practically it's first
breath.
Were going to have a healthy
child, raised by science" he told her
in one of the first conversations they
had after she was strong enough to
talk. It's all nonsense that chill

Yes, dear" agreed Doris family,
with closed eyes. I'VE will do just
as you say"
when you have a trained nurse
instead of an ordinary nursery
maid, the problem is practically
solved" continued Darlington. Be
sides the doctor will continue to
look the baby over at least once
each week until she is a year old.
Already she lives by clockwork-

schedule"
please have nurse bring her in,"
requested Doris. Il haven't seen
her since this morning."
But Darlington shook his head.

Beautiful necks you might rough
ly divide into two classes-pillar
necks and swan necks, and some
folk like one sort and some the
other. The artist Rubens liked the
first sort and in his dissertation on
beautiful women he says that "the
neck should be somewhat long.
plump. round. of a snowy whiteness
and without a Disagreement" To
him apparently there was little
charm in the sinuous neck that we
call swan like. He admired some
thing more substantial.
Balzac always seems to evince a
pronounced interest in the necks of
his feminine characters and where
most novelists stop with the chin
Balzac goes into all sorts of meta
phors concerning the neck and
shoulders. In The Lily, of the VAL
ley" the Countess de Mortsauf, Bal
zac's famous Henriette, is described
as having Just this sort of neck.
Her throat, where her head was
set on, showed none of those hol-
io"s lHdl make some "OmenB neckS
look like tree trunks; the muscles
showed no cords. and every line was
curved with a grace as distracting to
the eye as to the painters brush"
1t Is this perfectly curved neck
without hollows that seems to have
been the classic ideal. Venus de
Milo's neck may not have been just
like this of Henriette's, but it was
of the same sort. They were both
quite different from the nervous,
sinuous, snakelike, swan neck that
focuses the admiration Of the early
Italian painters and seems to be the
general favorite of artists OF our
own day.
To the Greeks there was some
thing analogous between the per-
feet neck of a woman and one OF
their own Doric or Ionian columns.
| The perfect curving of the marble
diminishing slightly from its base
to meet the crowning weight Of the
capital above was indeed not un-
like the flawless modelling of the
neck as you see it again and again
in Grecian sculpture.
As a matter of fact this type of
neck is less usual among our own
women than 1t is among the women
