What Today Means to You
ny NARY BLAKE.
Cancer.

O6uCcT.
The aspects of today are neither
good nor adverse. They improve
however, in character towards the
evening. During the day, it is ad-
visable to devote your time and atten-
ton to duties OF a routine character,
and plans can be carefully thought
out for future action. but no such
plans or ideas should be put into
immediate execution. In the evening,
conditions are propitious and espe-
cially favor social activities.
A child born today will, unless
great care is taken and constant Wig
lance exercised, experience more than
the usual share of infantile ailments
Will outgrow it's former physical
weakness, and will develop into nor
mally healthy maturity. Its charac-
ter Will. in the same way as its phys
ical condition. acquire strength with
passing years. but. above all things,
ii must, in early childhood, have In
stiled into It's mind the benefits OF
decision.
Is today your birthday? You are Of
a naturally retiring disposition, and
your character is not strong one.
This is the explanation of your pres
ent condition of only mediocre sue
cess. You nave convictions, but lack
the courage to express them either in
words or in deed. You possibly real
ize that in some other lire of en-
deavor, or by some change of conduct,
you would get better results than
these achieved by your present eff
forts: you, however. have not the grit
to break away; you lack moral cour-
age.
Moral courage characterizes the
highest order of manhood and wom-
anhood-the courage to seek and to
speak the truth; the courage to be
just; the courage to be honest; the
courage to resist temptation; the
courage to do ones duty.
Although success is the guerdon for
which We all toll, we nevertheless
have often to labor on perSeveringly,
without any glimmer of success in
sight.
The greater part of the courage
that is needed in the world is not of a
heroic kind. There needs the common
courage to be what we really are. and
to know what We are capable of be-
coming.

follow a pink string through the
bushes and hedge, they will run of
again. but plainly their minds are
not on their work. and they sneak
around to the dining room windows
as often as possible.
A wise young mother of my ae-
qua intance decided last month to
give her children and their little
friends just the kind Of party they
wanted.
1T was the happiest. most success
full party we've ever had" she de-
clared. Those children came for
the ice cream and cake, and we led
them at once to the ice cream and
cake" she laughed. They didn't
want to play games. they didn't want
to hunt things. They wanted to hand
in their small gifts and then eat. We
took them directly to the table. and
filed the mup. We then handed around
some little favers with q mechanical
trick to them, gave an amateur Punch
and Judy show in one corner OF the
dining room, and then sent them home
at once.
81 have found that games always
lead to boisterous, overjoyous activ-
ity and. sooner or later, to tears and
troubles. The boys tease, the smart
little girl wins. the dull little girl cries,
somebody gets upset. Only the an
nouncement of fee cream and cake
produces a magic calm and harmony.
After this, we serve the party and
nothing else but! They will all go
home happy and satisfied

What is the cause of zigzag bril-
liants before the eyes? They come at

Beltless Frocks; Leather Belts.
~ MARY MARSHALL.

Right from the first page OF the
first chapter of the history OF cos
tune women have worn some sort
of girdles or belts. In fact, among
our South Sea friends and other
primitive folk the girdle seems to
have been about the most substantial
part Of the entire costume. 1t was
the cestus--or gird1e--of Venus. was
it not?-that was regarded as her
most important and significant bit OF
apparel.

along without her cestus. She has
hit upon the idea Of going beltless.

dressed young women you may have

finished with wide leather belt. The
end Of the belt is never tucked into
slide OF the leather.
Very wide red leather belts have
appeared on few navy blue frocks
in Paris. and there is pretty good
reason to believe that the red leather
belt will be used quite often with
navy blue frocks for autumn. But
this belt usually makes no attempt
to encircle ones waist. 1t is drawn
snugly around the hips, often being held
in position by little straps OF the ma
terial.
Never did belts play SO entirely
ornamental a part as they do today.
In ancient times-in classic Greece
and Rome and medieval Europe-the
girdle or belt was worn by men as
we'll as women. in order to hold in
the folds of the flowing. unified
robe. Often and in many lands the
girdle or belt has been used as a
contrivance in which to carry all
sorts Of little needfuls-everythin
from dagger or sword to full equip
ment for writing being thrust within
the folds of an ample belt

to fun around the ears. Part IT in
the middle and comb generous
amount over the front OF the shoul-

of the hair. Comb back the right
hand portion, fasten temporarily with
a pin above the knot. Comb back the
left portion, comb it over the knot
and twist the ends and fasten the
twisted part with a shell pin just

the hair fluff over the ear, because 1t

What's Indigestionf

This habit of explaining diseases
by declaring there "ain't no sech
animile" is growing on me. 1 must
be careful or 1 won't have any dis
eases left to talk about. Well, come
to think of it, that would be fine. If
there's anything l hate to talk about
1t is a disease. I would much prefer
to talk about health only. But in
spite of my best wishes in the mat
ter some darn disease creeps in now
and then and I have to say some
thing about 1t.
People never have indigestion any
more except in newspaper yarns
about the mysterious Ills of the great
and the near great. Once upon q
time people had indigestion quite Sc
riously, however. Today we Know.
those of US who have survived the
modern or exploratory era Of sur
for indigestion was in reality. ap:.
pendicitis, or gallstones, or duodenal
ulcer, or some such condition.
Babies are people. They should
never have indigestion. AS matter
of fact, which I did not intend to
assert in the affirmative mode. but
only to suggest in the interrogative,
babies never do have indigestion any
more. They cry and probably suher
discomfort OF distress, in various
ways when they do not receive the
right kind of feeding, for one of the
most precious instincts of the human
young is that of self-preservation
and a baby knows instinctively when
his nutrition is faulty and expresses
his dissatisfaction as well as he can.
The last of the common observa-
lions upon which the notion of indi-
gestion rested was the frequent CO.
incidence of large, tough curds of
undigested protein with excessive
crying. peevishness and failure to
gain in weight. In order to make
this sign good 1t was necessary to
ignore the equally frequent obsefva-
ton of such large curds in the stools
of perfectly normal infants.
A baby's digestion is a wonderfully
co-ordinated group of functions,
largely self-regulating or automatic
and not easily upset or deranged. A
famous way of deranging it is by
taking the baby up and juggling him
about when he is busy digesting a

BEAUTY CHATS
Hair Dressing.

Can you wear your hair parted in
the middle drawn smoothly back and
ended in a knot? If you can You
belong to the lucky ones. Not many
faces can stand this severe simplicity.
1t looks well with face that Ia
fairly young, firm heshed.- clear-col-
ored, nicely featured. 1t looks BEST,
perhaps, with an oval face, never
with a thin one. II must go with a
good chin; it is the last possible
hairdressing style for the chinless

In many ways 1t Is the most at
tractive way of doing the hair. Puffs
and pompadours. curls, waves, per-
manent or otherwise; buns and high
placed knots have come and gone
again and again, but always this
quiet, classic style has held its own.
In early and mid min eteenth century
days, when life was more leisurely
and women's faces did not go into
nervous wrinkles. it was the one real
style. But expressions change 30
every ten years or so, few Of us can

Patience Is Rewarded.

Porcupines are slow in all their

them to hurry for. They walk slow
perhaps q little more slowly. And
they are just as slow in their eating
So 1t was a long time before Mrs.
Perky and her two children showed
any signs OF having eaten enough.
But II food is plentiful and easy

che hungry hidden watchers noticed
that the two young Porcupines had

sign. Mrs. Perky was still eating

Mrs. Porky and her thousand little

But the little Porcupines did not

1t was fun. But they didn't climb
down. and Mrs. Porky kept right on
eating. 1t was very trying for those

because she ate so much and so slow

But at last patience was rewarded

them. They climbed down to where
she was sitting in a crotch Of the

command of some sort. Then, with
provoking slowness, she began to
climb down tail first. The two young
Porcupines followed her in the same
way.

making a sound and held himself in
