WHAT TODAY MEANS

Aries.
Somewhat unfavorable aspects reign
during the early part of the day.
They, however, change for the better
later on, although they continue to
be of a somewhat doubtful nature
Ordinary business avocations can be
safely pursued, but it is expedient to
postpone the conclusion of any i'm
portant matter-either business or
social-to some more auspicious oc-
casion.
A child born today will be rather
morose and naturally secretive. 1t
will find much happiness in solitude
and will love the country.
If today is your birthday you are a
great talker about your own affairs
and the affairs of others. Your char
acter is of the light variety. You are
not a student or a thinker. yet you
will always insist on airing your
Ject. If the conclusions arrived at by
you and so freely disseminated were
firm convictions based on intelligent
research your hearers would be i'm
pressed, and possibly Influenced. You,
however. run with the tide, and al
ways magnify and eXaggerate
Gossip makes strong appeal to
you. Scandal is never minimized in
your handling OF 1t. You do not even
maintain a discreet reserve about your
own failings and weaknesses, but dis
cuSS them with as much "gusto" as
you do those OF your friends.
In business life you are not much
OF success, as, owing to your gar
rulousness, your plans are known to
all competitors or rivals before you
begin to put them into effect.
In your home life you advertise the
family differences, and if there is a
skeleton in your family cupboard you
always leave the door of the cup
board wide open. SO that all the world
can see inside
In social life you can be-and are
at times-very entertaining, as your
facile speech and sparkling vivacity
attract and demand attention. You do
not deliberately injure people or
their regulations, but once started IL

0vid's Advice About Beauty.

Perhaps when you were at school
you had to translate the works of
Ovid, who was born in 43 &c, and
who became a pet of Roman literary
and smart society and finally took his
place among the classic Latin poets.
Read the amusing things he has to
say about woman and beauty, which
I have taken from Wrights some
what free translation OF his poems,
and you will see that the Roman
woman 1000 years ago pursued beau
~ as industriously as those of today,
and that the Roman man was just as
cynical as any man is today:
Let neatness be your chiefest charm
And see your hair Is well arrayed,
One touch succeeds and one does
harm,
Not every style suits every maid.
Choose yours and i'll the mirror glance
Till you achieve true elegance.
Perhaps there is no need to say
Your legs and armpits should be
white,
Their hair by pumice smoothed
away"
But nowadays we can use depila-
tories which are much more comfort
able, and we have a great advantage
over the Roman maid in the way of
silk stockings. Later he goes on:
Rouge a pale cheek, a red one pow
der,
Each maiden knows that arts al
lowed her.

Millinery Magic IN Line.

OF course You want a becoming hat,
and that means, first of all, that you
must consider the almost inconceiJ-
able power Of line.
Is your face short and fullo You
can make it seem longer. Have you
q large nose set in q thin face? You
can correct its proportions. Have
you a sharp and prominent profile?
You can soften it by happy choice
in headgear.
Suppose, for instance, that you have
"snub" nose. You should, above
all, avoid accentuating it by a turned
up round crown, by a brimless hat
or by a hat that turns up sharply in
front. And you can, on the other
hand. make your ''snub" nose look
straighter by a medium or large sized
brim.
II your face is thin. choose a small
hat with a narrow or upturned brim
provided that your nose is not too
sharp and large. If it is, try a large
crown, or even shape that is mostly
crown.
II your face is full and round, you
want its fullness reduced. You should

Farmer Browns Boy Pays
for His Fun.

Farmer Browns Boy.


Farmer Browns Boy.
Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns s
Boy went to bed in the sugar house
still laughing. They had seen Mother
Bear lead the three young Bears
away into the Green Forest and knew
| they would not come back that night
They wondered what those three
young Bears were thinking about
I'm rather sorry for those young
| Bears said Farmer Browns Boy
Yes, sir. I'm rather sorry for them"
Why" asked Farmer Brown.
Because they didn't get the sugar
they wanted so much after trying so
hard for it, and because they must be
very sore as well as disappointed.
| Then. too, they must be very, very
much puzzled. They gave us lot of
fun and think we ought to pay for
it,
PAY for it," exclaimed Farmer
Brown. Those scamps were over
here for mischief. Because we got a
lot of fun out of their visit is no rea-
son that we should pay for it"
But Farmer Browns Boy was sorry
for those disappointed young Bears
and he wanted to make up to them
for the disappointment they had re-
ceived: It was the last thing he
the first thing he thought of when he
awoke in the morning.
I'm going to pay those young
Bears somehow for the fun they gave
US last night" he declared.
"All right, son." replied Farmer
Brown. "On thinking it over / guess
that entertainment was worth payin 6
for. Yes, sir, guess it was. i haven [
laughed so hard for years" He be-
gan to laugh again at the memory of
the antics of those three young Bears
trying to get the sugar from the two
tomato cans
All that day while he was going
about his work Farmer Browns Boy
was trying to think of some way for
paying those young Bears for the fun
they had given him. He felt sure
they would come back again that
night. He felt sure that they couldn't
stay away. 1t would be too bad for
them to be disappointed again.
So just before dark that night
Farmer Browns Boy took three old
sap pals that were not being used.
Into each he put some soft maple
sugar and over this poured SOME
thick syrup. He placed the three
pals on three stumps in the little
clearing in front of the sugar house.

After hair brushes have been

rinsed in warm water.
To clean leather seats of

Do not rub hard.
The water in which onions

for cleaning gilt picture frames;
1t not only removes specks and

not use the water until 1T is

before you start shopping. The
question of neckline should be one
or becomingness. Some women look
iar better in a V-neck blouse than
IN the rounded neck. The round
Peter Pan collar is inclined to be
trying for the woman who is not
very young.
The question of sleeves is some
times dependent upon the length of
your arms. II your arms are very
long or very short the sleeveless
blouse obviates any difficulty on that
score. Whether your blouse should
be tuck-in or overblouse should be
determined by the uses to which you
wish to put it. The tuck-in is a good
choice for sport wear, especially II
you wear the belt of your skirt well
down toward your hips.
Generally the cotton or linen blouse
is avoided by the woman who lives
away from home. The question of
laundry is a strong one in Influencing
women to buy dairy blouseS or blouses
OF silk that can be washed more
easily in ones rooms.
There was a time when once a
woman had hit upon the sort of
blouse that suited her she was quite
apt to order severai-all alike or
with only slight differences. Now,
however. washing presents us with
blouses of such interesting individ-
uality that we are tempted to buy
them all different.

eyes open at the fashion show for an
idea for a new party dress Her
mother had said she might have one
before summer. Her old last years
organdie had a three-cornered tear
in the back and strawberry punch
spilled down the front. If she should
get invited to a party suddenly she
would have nothing at all to wear.
Il wonder if I would like one like
this?" pondered Betty as she stepped
into a yellow tub silk dress. II have
never had a silk dress. This is a good
kind, too, because it will launder"
But after Betty had looked it over
carefully and held the parasol that
matched over her head, she decided
it was a nice dress TO wear at the
seashore. but not quite fluffy enough
for parties.
This clever frock has lavender bands for
trimming and big clusters of purple grapes on
the umbrella as we'll as on the apron front
of tho dress. The doll below has pink dress.
