WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU.
BY MARY BLAKE.
Taurus.

Taurus.
During the early part of the day
saturnine vibrations predominate and
are unfortunate for the termination
of any important business or argu-
ment The aspects, later on, improve
somewhat, but conservatism and care
full discrimination are required.
A child born today will be strong
and healthy and always be looking
for some opportunity to put its
strength and vigor to a test. 1t will,
as the years advance, fret at any re-
straint of city character and will
be prone to- seek adventure and
and will show very decided prefer
ence for the sea and for lands that
are not as civilized as ours.
If today is your birthday and you
are not surrounded with an artistic
atmosphere you are out OF place and
discontented with your lot You may
not realize what causes your unsettled
condition and dissatisfied temperament
You know, however. you possess some
gift which should be developed, but
which has been neglected, owing, per-
haps, to circumstances over which
you have no control. or by the deter
mination of others to direct your
EFFORTS along practical lines.
If, however, you, having discovered
your gift, have been allowed to nurse
and bring it to fruition, success has
awaited you and happiness has been
your portion. Many artistic natures
are allowed to languish and die, as
the opportunity has never presented
itself for their proper care and
nouTShment.
You are not disposed to be success
full in any line of commercial en-
deavor. as you always feel you must
find some other channel of self
expression The humdrum routine of
a business life does not appeal to
you, although you honestly try to
accommodate yourself as much as
possible to your environment
In spite of your temperamental dis
position, you are quite happy in your
home life and it's surroundings, as
your love of the beautiful applies
alike to the animate and inanimate,
and you realize that beauty is pro-
NOTED by cheerfulness and affection,
and you never allow the discomfort
or dissatisfaction you so often ex-
perience to interfere with the Joys
and pleasures of others
Well known persons born on this
date are: Montgomery c. Meigs, SOL
der: Arthur Rotch. architect; Rev.
Percy Stickney Grant, clergyman:
William B. Thompson, fnancier;;

Tints of Sunset for Sport Frock
BY MARY MARSHALL

It's usual thing nowadays for
dressmakers and designers to seek
their inspiration in museums. In fact,
museum curators find, or have found
recently. that there is no class Of
people who take a more live interest
in collections of textiles, tapestries,
costumes, etc, than those whose bus
mess is the making or designing of
women's clothes. They look for in
spiration in Mycenaean and Egyptian
antiquities with as great expectations
as though these races were flourish
ing but yesterday. More than once
within recent years a new color has
Deem derived as a result of most care
ful study of some beautiful tone
found in museum treasures.
This year there seems to be some
thing of a ack-to-naturermovem
among fabric and clothes designers.
Frankly there are more colorS named
after simple garden flowers and
fewer suggestive of Egyptian tombs
Our own garden patches or window
boxes seem to be quite as inspiring
as chinese costumes And more than
once this season a designer has taken
the colorS of some beautiful sunset in
creating a new gown

mats and even for bordering sleeves
ana collars of coats. These color
groups usually include a soft green,

seems to be more novelty in the
srouplng of ribbons or trimming silks
IN some definite color range. A range
OF colors from light pink to a deep

the present vogue for reds.

thought to the colors they wear,
other than to follow the rule of
avoiding anything very garish and in
general to avoid colors that are un-

The Wedding Dress.

The modern bride plans to wear
more than something old, something
new. something borrowed, something
blue" on her wedding morn. She also
plans to wear something practical,
This is the era of the practical we'd
ding dress. Gone completely are the
days when the June bride retired her
bridal pomp to tissue-papered and
sentimental seclusion Immediately
after the solemn march down the
church aisle.
The wedding gown should be Sc
lected with an idea of wearing it later
as an afternoon or dinner dress. And
no bride likes to be continually ex-
planning that she is wearing out her
wedding dress" when three or four
months later she appears, feeling con-
spicuously overdressed and out of
place in her now soiled and bedrag-
gled hnery. at a church function or an
all-day-Sunday with her husband S
people.
Color has a great deal to do with
the after-the- wedding usableness of
an outfit, and that is one of the rea-
sons practical little June brides are
SO rapidly exploding the tradition that
girl must be married "all in white"
They have had their lesson in watch
ing the sorrowful decadence of white
finery in the case of numerous sisters

are choosing wearable shades that
will yield their quota of service to the
end.

possessing a formal evening gown,
you can indulge in more "June
bride-y" touches, Of course, and still
have it appropriate for ordinary eve
ming wear. Removable accessories are
the new invention that comes to ones
aid here. Let your gown have its
floating draperies, it's clouds Of tulle,
even its train-though by no means
all brides, even fashionable ones, elect
a train these days-but have them ali
removable. Even separate sleeves may
be provided to be sewed in later The
removability of accessories also per
mits the use of pearl embroidery and
many other decorations too distinctly
brldelike to be suitable for ordinary
Wear-if confined to parts of the gown
that can be taken off afterward The
rule seems to be-make your own
gown as plainly as possible for the
post-nuptial demands to follow: let
the acce eSsories tell the world" il is a

band and son is sheer bliss to many
city dwelling women, who find rest
from apartment routine in the rude
woodsiness of such a remote home.
1t was my great privilege to spend
several weeks a few years ago in a
cabin in the deep woods, built by a
college professor and his wife-a
woman who lectured on operas dur
ing the winter and spent much of
her time in hotels, on the railroads
in the forest, beside a little lake,
they had put up with their own hands
small log house, made of split
trees, with the bark side on the ex-
inner walls The logs were placed
vertically, and a rustic rallied porch
ran around the cabin.
At first the cabin was scarcely
more more than sneltering hut but
shelves and hand-hewn furniture with
rush seats which they themselves wove
for the chairs, and hand-forged hard
ware from neighboring smithy.
How they worked and how they
with ingenious devices for the con-
venience and comfort of the occu-
pants, and finally beauty of line and
color crept in, too.
And this brings me to the charm
ing cupboards built into the log
walls in living room and Kitchen
dining room. For these cupboards,
like the windows and doors, were
merely openings left in the walls and
filled in with rough panels of wood,
hinged and latched, with rounding
tops. The cupboards were fitted with
thinner slabs of log as a backing,
leaving space for several shelves. on
which stood colorful dishes of green
and yellow pottery or the few pre-
cious books that they found indis-
pensable even in the wilderness.
Below each open cupboard were
were kept utensils, tools, games, linen
or other needed articles. With hand
woven rag rugs on the floors, rude
but decorative candelabra on the
walls and rafters overhead, their
cabin was a joyful change from the
correct conventionality Of their city
life.
