What TodayMeans to You
Scorpio.
BY MARY BLAKE,

conditions. according to today's
planetary aspects. are mainly ad-
verse during the early morning
Followed by n short and fairly good
period lasting until noon. This is
the best part of the day but even
at that favors only ordinary and
routine affairs. After noon the
vibrations change. and the next on
coming aspect is Saturnine and
adverse. The signs clearly indicate
that nothing of speculative or
hazardous risk should be attempted
and every effort should be made to
avoid the making of any important
decisions; the launching of any new
enterprises along untried lines should
be postponed to some more propitious
opportunity.

acter will be reliable: its DISPOSE
tion, more serious than gay; its men
tality, introspectively keen This
child will, unfortunately, lack a sense
of humor. and will take life alto
gether too seriously. Even in its
younger days 1t will be worried by
problems that have, so far remained
unsolved. 1t should be compelled, as
far as possible. to mingle freely with
playmates of its own age in order to
cure it, as far as practical. of an
ever-present desire for solitude and
unnatural ntrospection-breed of
morbidness.
If today Is your birthday, you like
to lead and will never fill a second
ary place II you can possibly forge
your way to the front. In your anx-
iety to be in the vanguard, you often
tread on others toes to their dis
comfiture and. sometimes, to your
own disadvantage
You are philanthropic, and take a
great deal of interest in social and
public affairs. This ambition on your
part is not subject to criticism, al
though you would possibly achieve
greater success along the lines that
you hav mapped out for yourself
If your opinions were not so down
right" and your expression of them
trif1e more diplomatic. You are
very strong on conviction, but short
on your judicial temperament
If single, you should select. as a
mate, one who will be in sympathy
with your bread-minded interests, or,
at least, a good listener. :
You are fond of travel and enjoy
reading books of the better sort.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Getting the Dickens" "

Some time, somewhere, from some
body we all get the Dickens" And
those of us who become prominent
get it more than the others.
Among those of us ordinary mortals
who occasionally find relief in letting
off steam in the form of something
more expressive than slang, there
seems to be a common misconce ption
that getting the Dickens is a modi-
fication or abbreviation of getting
the devil" 1t is not. 1t is harm
less, legitimate and respectable ex-
preston that may be used with i'm
punity in the best of company. 1t is
simply an allusion to our old friend,
Charles Dickens.
Though immortal as d novelist,
Dickens was well known in his own
time as newspaper man. So vitrio-
lie is he said to have been in his at
tacks on faulty public officials or
other prominent men that gradually
it came to be said, when any one was
criticized by him, that he got the

One Mother Says:
1 have found that the easiest way
to interest children in books, when
they seem Indifferent toward them, is
by reading aloud. l have two
children, near of an age, to whom
read for a little while after supper
each evening. 1 make them feel that
this time is theirs They are allowed
to select the books they want me to
read. . If they choose a book l do
not approve of, will start to read it,
but will stop and say it doesn't sound
Interesting to me. l will then de-
scribe to them the beginning of an
other book l think they'd like better
