100000 Of Furniture at Exactly
Today Marks the
Birthday Anniversary
of George Peabody

to whom Queen Victoria, out
of her personal regard for the
illustrious American citizen,
presented an exquisite minia-
ture picture of herself, painted
expressly for Mr.. Peabody as
a token of her regard.
George Peabody was born,
poor boy, on the 18th of Febru-
ary, 1895, at Danvers, Massa-
chusetts.
At the early age of eleven he
was apprenticed to Sylvester
Proctor, at Danvers, who kept
country store, where he
worked out his apprenticeship,
and afterward joined his elder
brother, David Peabody, in a
dry goods and drapers shop. in
Newburyport.
When Mr.. Peabody left New
buryport he was under age
and not worth a dollar. Mr..
Spaulding gave him a letter of
credit, by which he obtained
two thousand dollars worth of
merchandise, and this was his
start in life, as he afterwards
told the citizens of Boston at
a public reception.
He was modest, polite man,
and station agent once said
of him, "a comfortable man to
have around"
He went to London, Eng
land, and amassed great wealth
as a banker, and became ia
nous for the buildings he
erected for the poor of Lon
don, Public Libraries abroad
and in this country, and much
beloved all over the world for
his generosity and philan-
thropy.
The great honors bestowed
upon him reflected highly upon
the good name of America all
over the world.

The Horoscope
For Today
January II, I92I.

During the busy hours of this
day unfriendly stars rule, according
to astrology. Mars, Mercury and
Uranus are all adverse while @the
Sun SHINES with threatening rays.
It is a time to exercise judgment
and foresight in all business af-
fairss which may be more or less
unsatisfactory.
Uranus is in a place believed to
encourage pessimism and forebod-
ing that are destructive to wise
activity.
All the coarser instincts are sup
posed to be aroused during this
sway, the physical taking control
and dominating the intellectual or
spiritual aspirations.
The rule is unfortunate for har-
mony and may be conducive to bus
mess misunderstanding as well
as domestic dissensions.
Again there is a foreshadowing
of much gossip and slander wher-
ever prominent persons congregate.
The national Capital comes under
a sign that seems to presage. many
evil rumors that are without foun-
dations.
This is not a favorable day for
signing contracts. reaching agree
ments or entering into partnerships
since all associations begun today
are likely to be of short duration.
Uranus gives warning of contro-
versies over aviation and possible
accidents to aviators.
The Sun gives warning of ill
omens for interviews with super
iors in authority. 1t is not a for
tunate time to seek patronage or
support.
Mercury, which is the planet sup
posed to control common sense, is
in sinister aspect. Temptation to do
foolish and i'll advised things may
be overpowering at this time.
Military matters may be unsat-
isfactory. especially to army. Off
GERS and those closely concerned
in executive and organization work
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
may have a year of more Or less
anxiety. Travel and change seem
to be foreshadowed but caution
should be exercisd wherever money
Is involved. 3
Children born on this day may
be inclined to be careless and ex-
travagant. They are likely to be
too artistic to be practical.

BY MILDRED X. BARBOUR.

Looking back upon IL afterward,
Nancy realized that Constance Stan
ley had started something" when
she presented her to the Desmonds
as Mrs. Burrard, one Of our most
charming young widows-just be-
ginning to go out again, you know"
: The guests at Comics country
club dinner party-mostly intimates
OF Nancy and the absent Gerry
were quick to accept their hostess
Suggestion and further it hilarious
ly. 1t lent a bit of piquany to an
otherwise conventional dinner to be
putting something over"
And even Nancy, helpless since
the first when Curtis Stanley had
without warning thrust her role
upon her. found herself playing up
with relish.
Il was flattering to receive the
undivided attention Of the big hand
some Englishman, who was her
dinner partner and the lion of the
occasion: it was amusing to tlirt
with him with the same sense Of
fairness and good taste as in her
debutante days; it was relieving to
know that she would not look
across the table and receive a re-
broachfuI glance from Gerald.
Reeve Lewis. sitting on NanCy's
left. opened her eyes to the conse-
quenccs Of the pebble Connie had
Carelessly set rolling.
It's mighty good to have you out
again. Nancy" he said with twin
king eyes, careful that his voice
carried as far as the major. We
haven't seen much of you since yOur
-ah-bereavement.
Nancy flushed and cast a glance
out Of the corner Of her eyes at
the major.
Il wish you wouldn't" She whis-
pered to Lewis, I'm horribly super
stitious. and Peru is a dangerous
place
He grinned.
You can't mean that you don't
want to be a widow? Every woman
cnyies a widow and wants a chance
a vampish black toss and the poor
devils life insurance"
The Washington herald., 1921-01-17

And they generally spend the in
surance buying bridal attire for
the next venture" laughed Nancy,
mo, Reeve, I'd rather be married,
curious as it may seem. It's such
a nice comforting feeling to know
that your life is permanently ar
ranged and you don't have to flirt
or make yourself devastatingly at
tractive unless you want to-"
You're a funny girl" said Lewis,
regarding her speculatively, You
always look as innocent as a kitten,
you seem as innocent as a kitten,
but God help the man who thinks
you are as innocent as a kittenw
Nancy laughed.
One would think from your de-
ductions that you had given much
time and attention to the study OF
one Nancy Burrard."
Il have" he admitted deliberately,
Dare say you didn't know that I
considered you seriously as a can
didate for the second Mrs. Lewis?''
Nancy accepted the statement IN
the spirit of badinage.
How cruel of you to tell me when
it's too late" she muTmured with
mock regret.
"Oh, I don't know about that" he
said easily, Pretty widow. Darned
attractive. What's divorce
more or less to Peg and me? We've
each been bitten before"
Nancy refrained from comment on
the divorce question.
l. Alas! Remember that l am a
widow only for tonight" she sighed
with a demure flutter of her lashes.
Lewis laughed.
That's good. But you won't get
off so easily. Nancy my child! Con-
nie's made you a widow. and a
widow yoUll have to stay-at least
until the Desmond departs. And to
my knowledge he's not leaving for
a good long time. Not to mention
the delay he'll probably arrange for
himself-if I'm any judge of the
way he's fallen for you"
He raised his glass, giving her a
quizzical look across its amber rim.
Here's TO the first victim! May
each dog have his day-and give
me a week, please"
Nancy was plainly veXed at his
significant glance.
You are so ridiculQus l should
think Peg would train you better"
why not undertake the task
YOURSELF" he promptly suggested
Connie told me you had planned
to play littlc sister to the husbands
during old Gerrys absence. vii!
you let Peg sign me up"
Nancy deliberately turned a
smooth white shoulder upon him.
Shall you be in this country
long. hajor?" she inquired sweetly
/ of the Young officer who glanced
up eagerly as she turned back to
/ him.
Rather longer than I had first

Dorothy Dix's Advice

standards are absolutely correct,
and that your way Of doing things is
the only proper way. and your point
OF view is the only point of view,
10 never to go anywhere else. The
only people TO whom Squeedunk and
habplt Track are the centers of the
universe, are those who never get
outside the limit of Squeedunk and
Rabbit Track.
Travel is also the only real cure
Tor the divorce evil. and for do
mestic infelicity generally.
MOST married couples really are
more fond of each other than they
think they are. They quarrel be-
cause they are so fed up on each
others society that they have got
ten on each others nerves. Years
upon years ago they said every
thing to each other that they had
to say. They have heard each
others pet stories and reminis-
cences over and over again, until
each feels II ke' screaming when the
other hits the old familiar trail OF
the hoary joke, or the chestnutty
recollection, which wasn't interest
ing In the first place, and has ac-
quired no charms through age.
men things reach this pass in
the family, IL one or the other would
only buy ticket around the world
instead of to Reno; how much misery
and heartbreak could be saved.
Absence would work its perfec;
cure, and the travelled one would
not only come back with a fascina-
ting line Of conversation, but after
having seen the mon and women OF
many countries. would not find his
or her choice so bad after all,
But the main advantage of travel
is that it gives you imperishable
memories that are a Joy to you as
long as you live. 1t broadens your
horizon; 1t makes you a millionaire
in experience; and you can never
be dull or lonely, because you al
ways have thousands of strang'
peoples to bear you company ir
your thoughts"

TroubIous Ege,,

Nice fresh country eggs.
A couple Of dozen were sent
through the mail TO Lincoln Barnes
from his folks in Virginia.
He had eaten all but three. These
he reserved TO use with a little
sherry. One day they disappeared.
He asked Maude, his wife, about
them, but she said she had some
thing else TO do besides watch eggs.
Her answer peeved Lincoln and he
told her so.
He was again peeved when she
told him she cared little whether
or not he was peeved in the first
Instance He got more peevish.
According TO her story. he struck
her on the jaw and warned her TO
get ready for the trip across the
Jordan.
She was not quite ready for the
journey, and sought help behind a
warrant charging her husband with
an assault
The court told him he would be
taking a little trip II he were not
careful whom he hit. Lincoln
agreed to mind his own business
and was put on probation. with the
understanding not to allow any
more eggs-goOd, bad or Indifferent
to interfere with domestic fe-
licity.
