Ny Neighbor Says:

To make good lasting fire
from a shovelful of coal first
clear the CRATE. then put or a
lot of very small coke, fol-
lowed by dustpanful of small
but not dusty coal, then a hand
full of paper, above that a little
wood and right on top a few
small pieces of coal. Light the
fire from the top and 1t will
last much longer than usual.
To make baked potatoes dry
and mealy, put fork at least
twice into each when they are
tender and let the steam escape.
\ simple way to remove the
skin from dried haddock is
to hold it in front of the fire
and pull gently from the head
downward. The skin will come
off without breaking the flesh.
When coloring is required for
steWs or haShes use onions with
their outer skins left on. No
burnt sugar or any other color
ing matter will be required.
In roasting meat turn it over
with a spoon instead of a fork,
as the latter pierces the meat
and let's the juice out.
Every hat should be assigned
to a particular box and placed
in it directly after it is removed
from the head. Brush the hat
well. unless Ii has been SUBJ
jected to dampness. In that
event fill the crown and brim
with tissue paper to prevent
their losing their curves, and be
certain that the hat has thor
oughly dried before putting it
away.

WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU
Aquarius.
BIZ MARY BLAKE.

Aquarius.
Planetary conditions are of a doubt
full nature, which makes speculative
investments unusually uncertain.
There is danger of fires and accidents
and general misjudgment The eve
ming aspects are very good, making
all endeavors almost certain of sue
cess.
A child born today will be sturdy
In body and spirit, a genial but domi-
nant leader of other children.
You move and think with surety, if
today is your birthday. and you
gradually accomplish whatever you
wish. Your success will never be
brilliant or sudden. but likewise you
will never suffer even a Temporary
loss You are carefully foresighted
and cautious, so much so, In fact,
that you will be outdistanced In COM
petition all your life by various peo-
pie at various times, but seldom by
one person all the time.
You are magnetic because you are
solid and reliable, while others of
NAAS2 bdI ~SdhcT VIII
depend upon your resolution and your
colossal homely sanity. There are
moments. however, when even you
have your aberrations-mome of
wild. riotous dissipation, when you
sneak off to solitary indulgence and
attend the movies or even a concert
of classical music.
In such moments of abandonment
you are charmingly natural and
whimsical-altogether a lovable per-
son until you are caught at it and
covered with the shame of being seen
while actually enjoying life.
You have an easy mastery over
others because your thoughts are sim
pie and communicable. You could not
fool anybody If you tried, much less
yourself.
You are genuinely affectionate and
surprisingly demonstrative when you
really love. But you are more of a
friend than a lover, as it is much
more natural to your character.
The great need of your life is play
You are inhabited in all impulses and
you will never feel completely your
self until you have lived fully and
dangerously.

date are: Charles Fordney, congress

chant; N. NJ. Hill, linguist; George p

The Hands in Winter.

The ugliest things in the world are
the inappropriate ones. Nothing looks
worse than to see raw-looking, red,
chapped hands appear out of dainty
pair of French gloves. French kid
gloves are delightful They cling
softly to the hand and show its shape
(and il they are we'll cut gloves they
improve its shape), but they are no
protection against bad weather. They
are for mild days or for the woman
who takes her airings in a closed car.
or for the woman who. unlike most
women nowadays, keeps her hands
inside a muff.
Special gloves are appropriate for
special occasions. Long white gloves,
once compulsory for every evening
function. are now worn only for for
NAL occasions, most women preferring
mot to bother" with them for any
thing short of the opera or a very
formal evening party. Fine kid
gloves, either white or colored, are
for the dressy suit or the afternoon
gown. For plain tailored clothes, for
shopping, travelling or any such time,
stout cape walking gloves are the
most appropriate and best looking
choice. If wool or silk lined they
will keep the hands soft and smooth.
In fact, all-wool gloves are becoming
the fashion for very cold days.
If in spite of your efforts, your hands
chap, q good, simple treatment is to
wash them, with soap and hot water;
rinse them in hot water and dry, and
then rub them with honey almond
preparation. If the hands still chap,
after they have been scrubbed thor
oughly with not water and soap,
smear them thickly with lard. Plain,
pure lard is a marvellous cosmetic
whose virtues are neglected simply
because 1t is so cheap. You can go

of color that other women will prefer
to add by way of a silk stock scarf,
