Helga Sorensen breaks her en-

pursuing him for his money. She
finds employment as social secretary
| of Mrs. John Ames. The latter's
brother-in-law, a rounder, interests
himself in her. Also he is most af-
fectionately attentive to Mrs. John

Finally the lights of an automo-

room.
Every sense alert in that instant
of light l envisioned a figure on the
bed, half sitting, and then the SHIN

HOROSCOPE
The stars inclin bu. dc not compel.

This is read by astrologers as an
exceedingly doubtful day. Jupiter,
Saturn, the Sun and Venus are all
in threatening aspect.
h %lunation of this date takes
place when the 'LuminarieS are just
above the cusp of the seventh house
IN conjunction with Neptune.
The Moon afflicted by Neptune
indicates much vice and immortality,
Tor conditions are reaching the
place where they furnish their own
antldote by causing a public revolt
that insures reforms.
II stars seem to promise plenty
of employment for workers, who
will benefit as the month advances.
Mars is in an aspect denoting fires
and accidents on battleships.
The conjunction of the luminaries
with Neptune is read as foreshadow-
ing treachery on the part Of a for
eign power and some sort of naval
activity.
International negotiations and
complicated relations with foreign
powers are again augured by the
sears.
Warning is given that there may
be a grave diplomatic mistake made
which will be of serious moment.
Great Britain continues subject to
malefic planetary influences that
bode i'll for the government.
Women should be exceedingly
cautious during this rule of the
stars. They should not put theil
fate to the test in any affair, bust
ness prospects being just as threat
ening as romance.
Initiative should be postponed, fol-
the stars that thwart high hopes
ara in malefic sway.
During this month there should
be an effort to maintain a calm
level of thought and action, for there
is danger in any extremes of emo
ton or movement.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should avoid law and contests of any
sort. Those who are employed
should be especially careful.
Children born on this day may be
quick-tempered and inclined to ex-
aggeration. These subjects of Leo
are usually successful in whatever
they undertake..

Feeding

SSNh
The feeding of children is of the
greatest importance.
During infancy the diet should
consist wholly of milk, and mothers
should nurse their babies at the
breast, unless otherwise advised by
a competent physician.
At 6 months the baby begins to be
able to digest starch: hence small
amounts of barley or oatmeal water
may be given with the milk. 1t is
also well to give a teaspoonful of
orange juice twice a day.
When teeth begin to appear a
cracker or piece of zwieback may be
allowed. About the 18th month
small amounts OF baked potato. ap-
pie sauce and fle pulp of thorough
ly cooked prunes may be given.
When the child is 2k the month
er may give n or two teaspoons of
scraped meat, or an egg. Sugar,
other than obtained naturally in
foods, is not necessary for a young
child's diet. Simple deserts, such as
custards, apple sauce and prune
pulp may be given as early as the
20th month.
AS the child grows older it NAV
gradually partake of the same meals
as the parents, care being taken to
see that the diet is varied.
All children should be encouraged
to drink plenty Of cool, not ice-cold,
water.

CONFESSIONS Or A
HUSBAND!
The Mans Side OF Married Life

/. As 1 was walking to the subway
station on my way home that
evening @ man turned a corner
sharply and bumped into me.
Hello, Toni" he exclaimed as we
both recoiled from the collision.
For a moment l did not know him
he was so changed-the next in
slant l tried to make up for this by
the warmth of my greeting. He was
Cyril Sutherland, an old-time beau
of Dots.
But it was a different Cyril, 40
longer the dapper young chap who
kept about six months ahead of the
fashions, well groomed, happy go
lucky, debonair. There was a hang
dog expression about his face: l
could not help noticing that his ell
bows were Shay and his cuffs
ragged.
Poor Cyril! I had always-except
for n spell of jealousy-liked him;
his good nature, in fact, had made
him a favorite everywhere. Perhaps,
as the saying is, he had been his own
worst enemy. He vas easy-going,
affable-a little lazy toe
L knew that for the past few years
he had drifted from job to job with
out staying very long in any n po-
sition. Now, he told me, ne was a
book agent.
1t was late and I had to hurry
into the subway, but L urged him to
come to see us, and he promised to
do so. Yet / realized he would never
come.
AS he turned away it struck me
that, after all, 1 was not so very diff
ferent from Cyril. l, too, was some
what good-natured; 1. too, vas affa-
BILE; /, too, was lazy, if the truth
were told. What had made me fol-
low a different course? There could
be only one answer. AS 1 saw him
walk away 1 said to myself:
"There, but for the grace of Dot,
go l."
1 knew that it was her influence
that had kept me from that shiftless
l~istless, down-at-the-heel existence.
When her influence had been with
drawn from Cyril the rest had fol-
lowed.
1t was uptown I felt some one
brush past me as l left the subway.
1t might have been that tabled sixth
sense which told me it was some one
l knew.
1 turned. There was no mistaking
her now, even if I had not recog-
niZed the orange plumes on her hat.
1t vas Edith. She had passed me
without speaking. Perhaps she had
been to see Dot.
What if she had? For the first
time 1 realized that I was a free
man, free because l no longer had
anything to fear, free because I did
not have to plan and plot and calcu-
late.
And even the fact that Edith did
not speak to me 4 Il = A week ago,
or even a day ago, it would have
been so important. Now it hardly
seemed to matter at all,
1 was nearly home now. I was
not thinking of Edith. Nor were my
thoughts merely upon the meeting
with Dot hat was coming and the
goodnight kiss 1 would give to Bob
bic .
1 was looking ahead through the
long vista of years that stretched
before me, ahead to the new life and
the new joys that would be ours.

OF course Patty knew when she

So Patty thought she was COM

go away and devote her woman's
heart to a mans business-the earn

serve its gentleness, its tenderness
and it's affection for him.
Patty knew that all he could give
her. for probably a long time, was
just his W love, its faithfulness
and steadfastness. And Patty be-
loved that within herself were
possibilities for big things. She had
ambition and a youthful enthusiasm
which she thought could not find
a broad enough field of expression
without an active career of her own.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Watermelon rinds make delicious
preserves and pickles. When water
melon is served in a salad or fruit
cup the rind should be saved and
used. The pickles are quite as good
as a spiced fruit pickle and the pre-
serves resemble citron preserves.
Watermelon Preserves
Pare off the outside greer rind
of the melon and trim off any of the
pink heart. Cut in dice and weigh.
AS the dice are cut put them into
cold water to prevent discoloration.
To a gallon of rinds add n teas
spoon salt and one-half teaspoon
powdered alum. Cover with cold
water put over a slow fire. Bring to
the boiling point and simmer until
the rinds are tender enough to pierce
with a silver fork. Drain. Make a
strip as follows: Two ounces ginger
rot, 3 cups water, 2 lemons, a pound
of sugar to a pound of fruit.
Bruise Ginger roo and tie in a
c~heesecloth bag. Boil in the water
until it is strongly favored. Cut
lemons in slices and cook in a little
water until the rinds are tender.
Add ginger water m sugar to lem
ons and when the sugar is dissolved
add the melon rinds. Boil slowly for
forty-five minutes or until the mel
on rinds are clear. Put into steril-
lied jars and seal while boiling-hot.
Watermelon Pickles
One gallon rinds, 3 teaspoons salt,
1 quart cider vinegar, 6 cups sugar.
2 teaspoons whole cloves, 2 tea
spoons allspice, 4 tablespoons stick
cinnamon broken in small pieces.
Pare off the green outer part of
the rind of watermelon and trim off
the red heart. Cut in two-inch
lengths. Put in preserving kettle
with salt and enough water to near
ly cover the rinds. Boil until tender
enough to pierce with a silver fork.
Pour into a colander and let drain
several hours or over night. Make
a sirup of the vinegar. sugar and
spices. Add rinds and cook until
clear. Pack in 'sterilized jars, pour
over strip to fill jars to Overlooking
and seal while b~oiling-hot. The
spices nay be tied loosely in a
cheesecloth bag if the strip is pre-
ferred clear.

Nancy and Nick and Mr.. Sprinkle
Blow, the Weatherman, watched be-
side the Willow-Tree Pool, after
Marty Mink had slid quietly into the
muddy water. They hadn't forgotten
that Cob Coon had also telephoned
that he had an engagement with
Blackie Bass at nine o'clock that
evening, and they wondered what
had suddenly made Blackie so pop
ular. But Sprinkle-Blow was sus-
picious, knowing Marty and Cob so
wei.
Pretty soon Cob came shopping
along the lower branches of the
willow-tree and looked down."Good!

And Cob rolled up his sleeves and
tucked in his cuffs so they wouldn't
get wet. II do hope my claws are

said to himself, "for really old
Blackie is the slipperiest thing!,"
