Bob aside. hid my face on Daddy
Lorimer's shoulder.
We walked slowly back to the
door in the wall under the fountain.
We moved in silence. l would have
preferred to hear my husband in
conversation with his father.
Daddy had told Bob that he was
the one to do the explaining. But
Bob was silent. l knew him so
well. knew how obstinate he could
be, how sullen, how perverse when
he thought he had been wronged.
He thought he was merely proud
when he sulked. We had discussed
it more than once. l believed his
moodiness to be the essence of sell
fishness.
Surely If he cared for me. If he
could explain his presence with

Promotion of any enterprise
through advertising or personal APP
peal to men in position of power
should be successful before Don
but later should not be attempted.
Contracts signed before 10 o'clock
that morning should be profitable,
but there is danger of deception
after the sun is in m~id-heaven.
Warning is given that the temp
tation to speculate will be strong
all through the summer when there
will be more than one furry in the
stock market.
Women in business should be es-
pecially cautious during this plane
tary rule. for it may incline them to
take foolish risks and to lose money
through impulsive decisions.
1t is not a lucky sway for ro-
nance, since women may be easily
deceived in their love affairs when
Uranus is in sinister mood.
Deception in business as we'll as
in love may become more and more
common as the ear advances, the
seers warn, for there will be a mania
for intrigue in the United States.
One of the predictions made by a
foreign astrologer announces thai
in this country there will be a soil
darity of interest not hitherto achi-
ieved.
While the moon of this month is
still young it should be remembered
that it's first quarter indicates much
trouble for the British government,
and for that reason misunderstood
ings and misjudgments from this
side of the world will be even
to be regretted than in ordinary cir
cumstances.
There is a sign foreshadowing
many distinguished visitors for this
country during the summer.
Increased popularity for the Presi-
dent of the United States is indi-
Gated by the stars.
Persons whose birthday 1t is may
have a busy year and should not
speculate or risk money.
Children born on this day may
have eventful lives in which they
meet reverses but triumph over

How To Keep

What causes nervousness? i am

Nervousness" in a girl of II

of a number of causes. Some dis

of faintness are quite common

brief description to determine the
nature of your ailment.
Consult a qualified physician

more serious than oppression caused
by bad ventilation.
I have a boy of eight who is very

year, at school, and he is still In the
first grade. When this child was

nothing more serious than an &C

should advise you to have his ears

Watch his weight carefully to
determine whether he is suffering

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

The secret of light, fluffy blank
cts lies in the bit of soap suds that
is added to the rinsing water.
The first water in which blank
cts are washed should be about
blood heat and the suds should be
heavy and thick. The more soiled
the blankets the stronger the suds.
The second water should be the
same temperature but the amount
of soap should be reduced.
The third water is the same tenn
perature with even less soap. the
soap is o rubbed on the blankets
but dissolved and added to the
water.
