HOROSCOPE.
MONDAY. FEBRUARY IS, 1920

(Copyright, 1870 BY The Mcclure Newspaper
Synlirate.D
This is not an important day in
planetary direction. according to as
trology. While Neptune is slightly
adverse in influence. Saturn is in a
mildly benefic aspect.
During this sway routine matters
should be pursued and whatever ac-
ton is of supreme Importance to
the future should be delayed.
There may be a tendency less pos
tive than usual toward suspicion
and criticism. but this abatement Of
influence toward an analytical and
fault-finding attitude of mind will
not be prolonged. There will be an
increased desire. especially on the
part of the public, to arraign gov
ernment affairs
1t is a threatening sway for travel
on the seas, and shipwrecks are fore
shadowed.
While this configuration prevails
acceptance of old leaders may be
more general than il will be later
in the year. For this reason the
seers declare that political indica-
tions point toward surprises and un-
certainties.
Reactionary tendencies continue to
be indicated by the stars.
Aspects interpreted as presaging a
return to oldtime ideals of life will
be especially potent in influencing
women who will begin to work
toward readjustments in domestic
as well as commercial life.
Danger of epidemics is again fore
shadowed and intestinal complica-
tions appear to be Indicated.
More than six months ago astrol-
ogers prophesied that food would
be much discussed at this time, and
that poisonings would be more COM
mon than usual The aspect from
which this was foretold is also said
to presage agitation toward scien-
tifie diet.
Hotels and restaurants now come
much into public consideration.
Changes that will not be welcomed
by the public seem to be forecast
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have a year of strange events. They
should avoid new enterprises. Girls
should be slow in making acquaint-
. ances.
Children born on this day are like
ly to have lives that are far out
of the ordinary. These subjects OF
Aquarius often rise to high public
Positions.

MISS STEWART TELLS
WOMEN TOUSE MINDS

Thoroughness and "gumption,"
as success essentials, were preached
to 10 local business and profess
sionaI women by Miss Mary Stewart,
executive secretary of the National
Women's Committee, at a dinner At
the Y. w. c. A.
Miss Stewart emphasized the
moral duty of being intelligent"
Know your subject" she said,
whether it's typiug. or nursing. or
dentistry, or dish washing. And
know it so well that not many peo-
pie can come along and tell you
things about it.
Most of the dissatisfaction of
unused emotions, force that needs
to be released" said Miss Stewart.
This reserve force accumulates in
side us and instead of utilizing it,
we, all too often. let off steam in
the form of discomfort and dissatis-
faction"
The credit grabber". also came in
for Miss Stewards attention. "A lot
of people who aren't very sanctified
have taste for halos," she said.
Other speakers were Mrs. William
Hamilton Bayley. president of the
Y. w. C. A; Judge Kathryn Sellers,
of the Juvenile Court; Miss Flor

He gave me an odd, embarrassed
look. And thereafter my mind was
so taken up with Jim that forgot the

for Alice Anstruther's nerves.
Did it not contain a definite in

was concerned?
Alice and Tony and our host came
out to meet US, all ignorant of the
accident.
As the doctor and Mr.. Travis
Lloyd lifted out the unconscious
figure of my husband. Alice gave a

there. 1 was mistaken. Alice was
frightened. shocked. amazed. But
she gave no sign of ever having met
the injured man before.
She hid her face against her hus-
bands shoulder, clinging tightly all
the time to Tony's hand.
As for Tony, at first sight of Jim,
ne went as white as death. He pos
itively looked afraid. And yet I'd
never thought of Tony as a coward
or a nervous man.
He made no effort to assist in get
ting Jim inside. Instead. he came up
and caught me by the elbow
DO you know that chap, Helene"
His voice was strained.
For one foolish instant / thought
that Tony must have read my secret.
And then 1 pulled myself together.
How should l know him? Didn't
you hear Mr.. Lloyd explain how we
found the poor man lying by the
roadside? l stayed beside him while
Mr.. Lloyd went to fetch a car. That's
ALL"
Was it merely fancy on my part
that Tony looked relieved?
Alice and her husband swept me of
into the house.
You poor. dear child" the former
gushed, what a perfectly awful ad-
venture, If 1t had been-I she flung
her pretty little hands up in an ex-
pressive gesture-"oh., I'd have run
away! couldn't possibly have
stayed"
Don't be foolish. Alice" said her
husband, evidently ashamed of this
confession. You'd have done your
duty. like any human-hearted woman
just as Helene did,
Alice had the grace to look abashed.

To save space in a small clothes

towel racks may be used to good

which on the majority Of racks
are bent almost at right angles,
