GOOD and evil planetary influence
contend today, according to astrol-
ogy. Although Jupiter and Mercury
are in bcnefic aspect. Uranus. Sat-
urn, the sun and Venus are all ad-
verse.
1t is a rule under which the clergy
may be exceedingly eloquent and
brilliant, but congregations are
likely to be coldly critical and I'M
responsive.
Religious controversies probably
Will develop in many quarters. for
there is a planet that will arouse
aistrust and cause d~issensions be-
tween various sects.
During this aspect the mind may
DO disturbed by anxieties and there
may be great depression, owing to
The power of the malefics, but there
should be a positive attitude that
opposes all d~istrustful thoughts.
Visits to relatives and friends will
not be fortunate while this conigu-
ration prevails. and it will be wise
to pass the day quietly.
Lovers may be especially unhappy
under this direction of the stars,
which makes for jealousies and de-
ceptions.
Writing is subject to a favorable
direction Of the stars and letters
embodying plans or giving instruc-
lions would be lucky In their re-
suits.
France and Italy are subject to
the most disturbing sway at this
time and they may have weeks of
extreme stress.
The seers declare hat humanity
has not learned the lessons taught
by war, and that since greed and
selfishness have not been subdued
unrest and constant fermentation of
IDEAS will cause dire troubles.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have a year of many hazards. Strict
attention to business is enjoined. 1t
is well not to make any changes
but there will be temptation to try
| new fields OF effort,

Editorials For
Women Folks

Miss Nineteen Twenty-One feels
that she is an advanced sort of per-
son, rather given to invading new
realms, envisioning new fields and
thinking new thoughts.
But there Is nothing really new.
In any direction to which Miss Nine

if she looks for them, the dainty
heel marks of Miss Seventeen or Miss
Eighteen Hundred.
Woman's invasion of the field or
patents and invention is not new.
AS early as 1909 Miss Mary kies con-
ceiyed a new way of weaving SILK
and straw and so she visited the pat
ent Office in Washington, she carried
away with her. when she left, h
first patent granted to a woman.
Following the a~dventuring of Miss
Kies into a new world, came a Pc

A Mystery
A "calash balloon for ladies' with
no key to solve Its subtle mystery
was Miss Harriet Cooks contribu-
ton to the world of invention In
1898. Miss Cook left us not even a
picture that we might know whether
The 'calash balloon for ladies' meant
something one could ride in or
thing one could wear. One might
venture a guess hat it was a hack
and then find it was a hustle.
In April of 184S a certain MISS
Mary Ann Woodward doubtless re-
garded tenderly some plump pink
pated gentleman who loved to rock.
For Mary Ann invented a rocking
chair with a fan attachment, the
fick-fick of which prevented any
so inclined flies from making a
promenade of the pink-pated gentle
mans pink pate. There is no record
of the invention of a safety device
by which the plump pink person
might clamp his senses into his
head against the flick hicking. or OF

Have your wife given a thorough

whether there may not be some

1t may be that there Is some rela-

Sweating OF the Feet
What is the cause and cure OF

anything to kill the odor?
1t may be due to poor health, to

Bathing with medicated alcohol
and water and the use of talcum

The Strange Lady
nH DTIsn 90

1llAt EN- 80
I have always thought that this
new woman had a strange effect on
me from the moment l saw her.
For when my aunt introduced us, l
did not hear her name. And that
was very unusual with me, for Aunt
Harriet had been very particular
about that sort of thing when l was
a child. 1t was no use asking Win
Win never heard the name of a
person he was presented to.
But Aunt Harriet was calling her
Gwen, so / knew her first name was
Gwendolyn. l never liked the name,
it seemed rather a silly word, u
that was my prejudice.
/ looked at this stranger. She was
tall and thin. so thin as to be almost
awkward. She had a quantity of
reddish hair. quite red in fact, which
was cut short and pushed about her
head. 1t was very wavy n 1t stood
| out in apparent confusion around her
face-a confusion that was carefully
studied out by her hair dresser, how
ever, a rumpled effect that was very
artistic.
There were present that evening
some of the best dressed women in
the city, but she stood out among
them for the beauty and smartnes5

She was so magnificent II so
daring and so different. that for a
moment l took in the general effect
before l looked at her. Then l
noticed that her eyes were small and
almost green, that they s~quinted,
that her skin was merely nice, but
not lovely, that her hands were al
most too large. 1 could give no guess
as to her age-she might be a raw

costume, she might be some Won
