But one morning, after having been

to that other home OF ours under the

So Danny and Nanny went back to
the home under the stump on the
edge Of the garden. They were
thankful to have a home to go to.
but at the same time they couldn't
bear to think Of giving up their home
In the great man-bird. All day,

and darkness settled down with a
suddenness with which 1t always falls
in the Sunny South. all noise ceased.

Very good aspects predominant un-
til noon. Decisions made today VIII
be Of great benefit to those concerned.
The afternoon may bring about some
misunderstandings. although not OF
a serious nature, while the evening
influences will create happiness and
Joy.
A child born today will be sensitive.
imaginative and creative, but easily
Influenced and temperamentally vim
dictive.
People born under the sign OF
Aouarius are noted for their intellec-
tuality and their spirituality. They
are generally kind. generous and for
giving. They are courageous and
the leaders of popular movements.
They are also lively in disposition
and are apt to be entertaining.
They are inclined to mock at fate
and take long and hazardous chances;
always live for the moment and thus
live in moments Of increasing power.
You are ambitious and rather un-
scrupulous in the means you employ
to achieve your end. Happily. your
end Is usually in concordance with
murder and treason is often heroism
and patriotism. However. your judg-
ment Is not as cautious as 1t Is In
flexible. You might make tragic
error and stick to it rather than
admit 1t.
You are courageous and adven-
turous, because, after all, life means
little to you unless 1t can furnish you
the excitement your soul Graves.
You are fond of travel and might
spend your life going from one
strange land to another. You adapt
yourself easily to the customs of for
eign places and you feel at home
wherever you are.
You are generous and induigent to
those you love. Money means little
to you, but the happiness 1T can
create in you and in others is all you
care about, and, on the whole, you
like to see those about you happy.

Plaids and Squares in Fabrics
BY MARY MARSHALL

pendent on the fact that the fabric
is wooh Exactly the same tones can
never be reproduced in silks, much
less in linens or cottons. Still there
are plaid taffetas to be reckoned with
for spring. some OF them following
the Scotch traditions. In one charm
ing little plaid silk frock the pattern
was picked out on the skirt and
bodice by means Of glass beads exact
Iy matching the silk over which they
were sewed.
The sport frock is really the best
medium for the plaid. Despite the
fact that the Scotsman wears his
plaid in thick plaits we do best when
we use plaid along straight lines. We
get into difficulties as soon as We de-
part from the utmost simplicity In
using 1t. Hence 1t is best adapted to

striking plaids. and the fads Of the
hour are striking.
The milliners are apparently put

OF ribbons. some of which follow the
Scotch tartans more or less faithfully
while others are just two-toned

1t may be that this fad for the
Scotch plaid idea will have some in

Of us, a rather pleasant dark green

If your family name is Zell, and you
want to find out exactly from what
part of Europe your ancestors came,
you'll have to fall back on geneaiogi-
cal records. The mere knowledge OF
how and where the name originated
will not help you much, for its origin
may be traced to probably half dozen
sources.
It is, of course, a place name. ana
in its earliest use as family name IL
indicated the place Of former residence
of the bearer.
But there are several towns ard
cities. bearing this name in Germany
and Switzerland.
One of them, and probably the place
which is chiefly responsible for tho
family name. is the town Of Zell-an-
der-Moser con the Moser"), which is
in Rhenish Prussia, short distance
from CoblenZ. 1t is very old town.
with a history that reaches Tar beyond
the period when family names were
formed in Germany. In olden days IL
was the headquarters Of the Electors
of TreveS.
Then there are two towns called Zeli
in Baden. There is one IN Hanover.
one in Bavaria and another in Wurt-
temberg, besides two others In Switzer-

Far Famed Almanac
Of Frank Views Is
Popular in Europe

Berlin, March ia. p. by MaiD
American women of wealth whose
names appear in the Almanac de
Gotha are mentioned in such an I'M
pleasant manner in the German re-
views of the new issue Of the publi-
cation. that little encouragement Is
offered them to sacrifice their for
tunes to the rehabilitation of me-
diaeval castles and decayed titles.
There have been rumors that the
Almanac de Gotha was about to be
discontinued, and European nobility
was in a great funk. Without the
almanac the hordeS of princesses,
dukes and counts in Europe would
have been lost. They could with
difficulty establish their social posi-
ton, lacking a pedigree certified by
tho almanac.
But it isn't true that the Almanac
de Gotha is suspendlng. The German
issue for 1924 is already out. and the
French edition is in preparation. Ger
many still has hopes of supplying
Europe with kings and queens In
future generations. and the publish
ors OF the celebrated volume declare
they have not thought of stopping
the publication of the Who's Who in
Noble Circles.
In it's discussion Of the new issue
OF the almanac, the Berlin Mittags
Zeitung remarks upon the marriage
of Prince Erik of Denmark to a Can
adian heiress. and says the Cana
dams are now joining the Americans
in the victory route" Tho newspa-
per continues:
TT Is true that the war brought
about, many divorces of American
women who had Joined European
princes and counts in order to en-
broider a coat of arms upon their
underwear, or to have II printed ON
their stationery, but 1t appears that
in the long run titles and names are
as attractive to American women as
in former years. At least there are
some new names added recently TO
the Almanac de Gotha list.
Americans may be interested to
know that the Almanac de Gotha re-
fused to mention the United States
Until 1924, because the new republic
had no connection with the royal
families of Europe. The first issue
of the almanac was in 1858 and the
first copy of the book which Is avail
able in the British Museum IL dated
1874.
The almanac de Gotha is strictly Al
German made product, and refuses
