Inc Philadelphia Orchestra, assisted

gave its last Friday afternoon concert
OF the season and concluded the Friday
afternoon series Of the most brilliant
season in the history Of the organisation
with a superb performance OF Mahler's
symphony No. 2 in c minor, for or
chestra, chorus. soprano solo and con-
tralto solo.

complex choral parts of the compo-
Sitlon was one of the very best that the

case in the Mailer Eighth Symphony

together with sufficient volume Of tone
and knew the composition from end to
end. Mr.. Townsend has done some
fine work with the Philadelphia Orches-
ira Chorus, but nothing which in finish
and in thorough knowledge Of the COM
nos!rton, approached the perfection Of
tho work Of Yesterday.
The Second Symphony requires two
soloists, soprano and contralto. and the

Boy-crazy-that's ordinary term
for it and that's the word you use
when you're impatient with her.
She never does anything really
wrong and never has caused you
any serious trouble, but she's for
ever on the trail of some boy. She
does it subtly and a%rtfully, but you'd
like it so much better if she'd be
absolutely disinterested, so that any
lad who won her would have to do
it in the old fashioned way.
You like to think of the DAYS,
even beyond your own youth when
feminine folk were sensitive, timid
and retiring-when they hid be-
hind their chaperons at the dance,
as it we're.
But really, there " were such
days and there never were such
girls. oh, don't you remember how
you used to do-your very own
self, who wouldn't even think
the l~ittlest thought which wasn't
just what it should be?
When you knew John intended
calling, you used to gather from
the garden sprigs of sweet-scented
mignonette and put them in the

You used to rush away from the
dinner table so you'd have the full
hour to nestle the curls at just the
right place in your carefully coiled
hair and you always wore one of
the frocks you knew he really liked.
Perhaps you didn't get out at the
gate and halloo at him.
You didn't hail him, as the fellows
did, by that %atrocious nickname.
And you didn't invite him to parties,
arranged by the girls. But you
picked him out and knew he was
yours before he did!
And 81 your daughter doesn't
vary SO much from type after all
and her boy-crazy tendencies aren't
anything to be amazed at or alarm
ed about.
You can direct her, and by talk
ing her thrilling affairs over with
her you a be in on all the secrets
which should mean much to you.
She'll begin to think of you then
as omeon who understands mod
ern life and your opinions will be
accepted with a new respect and

According to ~astrology this is an
uncertain day for while Neptune
is in benefc aspect, Uranus is
strongly adverse.
With the entry of the sun into the
sign of Libra today Uranus is in the
second house and the Moon on the
cusp of the sixth, while Mars. Jupi-
ter and Saturn are in the eighth
house in Virgo.
Saturn in conjunction with Jupi-
ter denoted much unrest among the
people and events of greatest M
portance for the United States.
Waste of public money will be
discovered despite all efforts toward
thrift in government affairs the
seers prophesy.
Mars is in a place that threatens
railroad strikes and wen riots
Venus is in a place that indicates
a milk autumn with recurring days
like midsummer.
Despite warnings to conserve cap
ital there will be a great outlay for
amusements and theatres will ben-
eft.
There is a sign read as presaging
n death OF q famous woman De-
fore the winter has passed.
The Sun is read as indicating IA
vorabie conditions for the advance
of religion and philosophy.
Again the seers remind the people
that the conjunction of Jupiter and
Saturn presage great and import
ant 'hanges affecting the world
generally" This may be favorable
to disarmament but is not so in
terpreted.
The effects of the conjunction
which took place Sept. 10. do not
mature at once, as has been empha-
sized, but remain in force for sew
eral years. AS the conjunction rose
in Constantinople, the dismember-
ment of the Turkish empire is con-
1dently predicted by astrologers.
Violent earthquakes are persist
emily prognosticated by astrologers.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should not travel or make any rad
icaI changes in the coming year.
Children born on this day may
be restless and discontinued. These
subjects of Libra are often inclin-
ed to be critical and sarcastic. but
they are generally exceedingly
bright.

Perhaps 1t is a fortunate deterrent

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Breast of lamb is an inexpensive
cut to buy. Rolled and stuffed or
served in a casserole with peas the
breast rivals the more expensive
chops and roasts.
Lamb is best and cheapest in the
summer months and should be used
in place of pork. If the cheaper cuts
are cooked in a fireless cooker, the
long time required for cooking causes
no discomfort to the cook.
Breast of Lamb
One and one-half pounds breast
of lamb, a pound bacon, 2 pounds
green peas, 2 sprigs mint, J. little
onion, salt and pepper.
Remove the skin from the meat
Put into boiling water and simmer
for ten minutes. Cut bacon In very
thin slices and line the bottom of a
casserole. Add meat, season with
salt and pepper and minced onion.
Cover with thin slices of bacon. Pour
over the broth the meat was par
boiled in. Cover tightly and cook in
n moderate oven for an hour. Add
peas and mint minced and cook half
an hour longer. This dish could be
served with new potatoes in parsley
butter, sliced tomatoes and a fresh
berry pie. The meal would be in
expensive, nourishing and appetiz-
ing.
Stuffed Breast OF Lamb
Breast of lamb, 2 onions, 2 carrots,
1 small turnip, parsley, bay-leaf. 6
peppercorns 2 tablespoons butter. l
cup soft bread crumbs, 2 slices ba-
con, 1 egg, pepper, milk.
Remove bones from meat and SIM
mel bones for half an hour. Strain
and reserve stock. Mix bread crumbs
and bacon. put through a food chop
per. Season with pepper and add
egg. Mix well and add enough milk
to make moist. Spread this mixture
on the meat. Roll and tie. Cut
onions, carrots and turnip in thin
slices. Melt butter in casserole and
add vegetables. Put meat on bed of
vegetables, pour over stock and cook
in a slow oven for two and one-half
hours. If lean veal is chopped and
used as stuf1ing there is more nour-
ishment in the dish.
Blanquette of Lamb
Two pounds breast of lamb. l
onion, parsley, thyme. bay-leaf, pep
percorns, 1 cup stock, 2 tablespoons
butter, / tablespoon flour, 1 egg
yolk, 2 tablespoons top milk, salt
and pepper.
Cut meat in pieces about 2 lnches
square and put in a stew-pan sliced
onion, herbs and peppercorns. Cover
with water and simmer for 2 hours.
Skim meat from broth and arrange
on a platter. Strain broth and add l
cur to butter and flour blended. Let
boil, stirring constantly, for three
minutes. Add yolk and egg and
milk beaten together. Stir over the
fire for two or three minutes but do
not let boil. Pour over meat ana
serve.

BEAUTY HINTS

You'll never know what a thor
oughly vain m you can be until
your nails are in perfect trim-and
better yet until you have made them
so yourself!
And you can make them so; It's
all in getting your pride worked up
to the point where it will make you
work for it. Really, a little vanity
or personal pride is good for your
soul!
1t keeps you sweeter from the In
side out. 1t won't let you sag.
Perhaps you never thought of
changing your nails from the pudgy
unattractive things which they are
to nice tapering ones? But you can,
you know! The world is full of con-
crete feminine proof!
First cut your nails down quite
deep on the sides. Not so deep that
they'll really hurt, but well down.
Then soak them in warm soapy wa
ter. If they're the kind of nails
which curl down and grow proud
flesh underneath. take your orange
stick and work away under them,
gently but firmly wedging away the
proud flesh until o have the white
part of the nail quite free of flesh.
Some of the fieshy substance will
be hard and white, callous and rath-
err dead; take your cuticle scissors
and cut hat all neatly away. Then
pad just lots of cuticle cream all
around where you've been cutting
and pushing back to prevent any
soreness.
Cut your nails ovally; don't point
them! Keep in mind, for the entire
shape of your nails, a perfect oval
from tip to tip, pushing back and
cutting to get the effect.
And in idle moments pinch the
tips Of your fingers, to make them
more neatly pointed.
Keep it up all winter!
By spring your friends will be
wondering how you ever acquired
your lovely tapering fingers and
beautifully shaped nails.
