What TodayMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Sagittarius,

Today's planetary aspects are quite
| inauspicious. although there are
some stimulating vibrations toward
the latter part Of the evening. They
are not. however. of such q favor
able character as to warrant any
decisions being made on matters of
significance. All important business
should, as far as practicable, be
avoided and no agreements or con-
tracts involving finance, or anything
related thereto. should be executed.
There will be experienced very gen.
orally, today, a disposition to find
fault and criticize. This tendency
should be held in check, unless you
desire the breaking up Of old associa-
lions.
A child born today will be physi-
cally, robust, and, given wholesome
environment and good surroundings,
it VIII develop into average physi-
cal maturity. 1t will display mechan-
ical ability, be methodical, careful
and patient. 1t will be conservative
in Its judgment. observing, candid
and versatile. 1t will profit by the
mistakes of others, and will always
be ready to help others avoid the
rough places. 1t will not form at
tachments hastily. and will probably
not marry early in life. Its love will
be deep, true and strong
If today is your birthday. you have
great self-control and aboundant
conceit. You do not distinguish be-
tween pride and conceit. The for
mer. when based on strength of
character and deeds accomplished, is
valuable asset in the makeup Of
any man or woman. The latter, how
ever. is unworthy of your traditions
and your abilities. 1t causes much
unfavorable comment among your
friends.
You are ambitious and idealistic,
but you are lacking in perseverance
and tenacity. and often fall just short
of attaining your goal. You are able
to conceive valuable plans, and to
visualize good, profitable schemes;
you soon tire, however, Of the de-
tailed work involved in putting them
into execution. and often permit
others, by your slackness, to take
full advantage OF your ideas, which
they do to their profit, in which you
have no share or participation.
You are musical and artistic, stead
fast in your love, loyal in your
friendships. and loving In your home.

date are: William E. Simonds, law
yer and author; William 3. Cushing.

Good for Gingivae.

The dental profession has mani
fested considerable interest in what
Or. Paul r. Stillman terms physical
culture of the gums. OF course DIR.
Stllman doesn't call 'em gums. Being
dentist he calls EN- gingivae (all
the gs as soft as possible). Incl
dentally here is a tip for you. If you
wish to keep your dentist calm and
unruffled never mention gums or
false teeth to him: call them gingivae
and artificial teeth or dentures.
In his physical culture" for the
gingivae. then, DR.. Stillman seeks to
bring about a better circulation in
the tissues around the teeth and
therefore better nutrition Of gums
and teeth and the development of a
more vigorous and less vulnerable
maSticating equipment. He would
accomplish all this by means of a
special manner of applying the brush
not brushing the teeth in the usual
up and down or circular fashion, but
pressing upon the gums moderately
with the long, bending bristles in a
way he has described in the dental
literature.
He teaches that only the occlusal
surfaces of the teeth need be scrubbed
vigorously, and he admits that the
toothbrush has inflicted injury to
teeth and gums when improperly
used, as 1t is by many persons.
1t has been Dr. Stillman's observa-
ton that when the brush Is used
simply to stimulate the gingivae in
this manner. the teeth will be found
cleaner than If cleansing had been
the purpose of the use of the brush
When patients have mastered the
technic of the method which he ad-
vocates and which the dentist teaches
by applying the brush for the patient

in calculating the physiological
basis of his physical culture for the
gingivae." DIR. Stillman compares
the effect Of this gingival massage
with the effect Of the daily cold bath.
1t appears that there is a kind of
reaction in the gingival tissues, much
the same as the vasomotor reaction
and pleasant glow which follows or
should follow the cold bath. This
circulatory response is brief in du-
ration at first, but becomes gradu-
ally more prolonged, so that after a
reasonable >eriod of physical Gull
ture." the gingival tissues undergo
a marked improvement in condition.
This sounds pretty good to me. i
haven't much use for or faith in the
toothbrush as an implement of hy-
eiene, but / have great respect for
physical training and I am seriously
considering a kind of relapse in my
own personal health habits-I'm
gonna try DR.. Stillman's method for
my goombs. There is nothing much
the matter with my goombs right
now, but nowadays It is harder and
harder TO get undenaturiZed food, and
a compromise Is better than no pro-
phylaxis ut all.

Jewelry as Worn by Tiny Children
BY MARY MARSHALL,

American mothers of the twentieth
century have rather prided them
calves on the fact that their children
we're not permitted to wear jewelry.
We have turned back to old fam
ly portraits in the plush covered
family photograph album and looked
with bit of superior amusement at the
children there who wore necklaces and
earrings.
How unenlightened grandmother
was TO let Aunt Minerva wear ear
rings at six we comment.
The children of recently arrived
foreigners who have not thoroughly
assimilated our ideas about things
sometimes wear earrings There is
a notion among some Of them that
TO have the ears pierced and to
wear earrings at an early age offer
a charm against deafness
Now apparently taste is changing
in this matter of childrens jewelry,
as in so many other things To be
sure we do not permit six-year-olds
10 wear earrings. But bracelets and
necklaces, pendants on cords, even
bobby combs and vanity cases, are
finding a place in the very little
sirl's wardrobe
To be in good taste these must
not be replicas of those worn by
their iHOlHerS-DOt or a style eSpe-
CJally suitable to tender years.
Precious stones are quite taboo. and
any sort of jewelry is considered in
appropriate for the girl in school,
but for the years that come before
school days little girls may now
satisfy their taste for gay baubles
If they like.
These tritles are made of bone with
rharming painted designs of little
cats or dogs or ducks-or other ami
mails that figure in the nursery
rhymes. Some Of these things are
made Of what seems to be celluloid
in gay and attractive colors. There
Is little pendant pony on a cord,
and a Dutch boy in gay colors like
wise hangs from a cord to go about
some little girls neck.
The one exception that seems to be
made to the rule against precious
stones for children Is In favor of
pearls. Diminutive necklaces of
small pearls are considered quite an-
propriate for little girls in their
very best party clothes and as an

Every hostess wishes to keep her
guests entertained and she should be
prepared to fill in awkward gaps in
conversation or lulls in activities
with suggestions that turn the atten-
ton pleasantly. On certain occa-
sions, such as Thanksgiving, it is
not necessary to have any set ar
rangement for entertaining. The di-
versions should come up quite ma
turally. They may be introduced
during the dinner itself, or after
ward, when conversation may flag.
Perhaps the children will want some
really active games, and it is a good
thing to allow them to vent their
spirits by playing outdoors for a
time. Then quiet games should be
suggested to them, and toys given
the youngest, with which they may
keep themselves amused. The older
folk will enjoy quiet entertainme nts,
so the suggestions given today take
the form of mental contests, and in
active games.
Between the courses the host or
hostess may put the following ques-
tons to the company. The replies
may be verbal or written on the
backs Of place cards. If SO. pencils
should be provided. Little tally PEN
ellis could be attached to place cards.
y prize can be awarded the guest
writing the largest number of correct
answers. If answers are verbal, the
host or hostess may present some
trifle to each person who is the first
to answer correctly. The trifle may
be a candy vegetable or doll. Let me
suggest a marshmallow doll. Mark
eyes nose and mouth with melted
chocolate. Use a large fig for a
body. Two dates or several raisins
make excellent legs and also arms.
Put the dolls together with tooth
picks.
Questions.
The contest questions are as fol-
lows and should be divided SO that
some queries come between all the
courses:
What fowl is a flapper?
What fowl is a country?
3-What fowl is a foreign coin?

The Gobbler.

Right up to Thanksg living j can
lend a sympathetic ear to the vege-
tarians. ] can sing the praise of del
icate green. peas, smile toothfully at
the sight Of velvety stringless beans,
beam brightly upon the ruby red
beets and wonder why anyone should
ask for anything else.
/ am almost sad at the thought that
the strutting red rooster will come
to his end in the oven. When little
lambs are mentioned i have a guilty
feeling in the pit of my stomach,
where so many little chops have
found a home. In passing a COW
keep a respectful distance and hope
she will not know of my fondness for
beef and veal outlets. I'm timidly
apologize right up TO Thanksgiving
time.
But at the sight of the gobbler,
front expanded wings a-trailing,
feathers to the front, all such. gen
tie weakness vanishes and / chortle
with delight. Throw another hand
full Of corn to his gobblership. Feed
him high. Feed him often. Cherish
him as the bird of your heart. The
children are coming home to eat him.
The children are coming home.
Pour little more milk into his
pan. He has to have fine full
breast because Tom always wants
good slice OF breast and 80 does
father. Add a scattering Of bread
crumbs. I do hope his drumsticks
are pumping out for Teddy. He does
love a round drumstick. Remember
how we burst right out crying when
Aunt Mollie, just to tease him, said
she'd have a drumStick and he
thought he would have to go with
out. He won't have to go without
ever. He's coming home for Thanks
giving.
Now don't go and worry that COB
bier. Don't let him flap his wings

Dollie's so fond OF turkey wing
and the least little thing makes them
tough. Remember, when she was
little. how she used to stretch out
of her chair, watching TO see that
nobody took her wing? She just
loves a turkey wing. She's bringing
little Dollie with her. OF course
she'll be too little to sit up and eat
any turkey, but she'll lie on her
pillow and smile. and We'll polish
the wishbone and hang IT over her
chair. You can't tell me children
don't see and remember.

of water. Can't have a fat, juicy
bird unless he gets plenty Of water.
If he gets the least bit peevish or
troubled. he won't have that Thanks

coming long way to taste il. Feed
him, water him, speak kindly TO him.
treat him right royalty, for the chill
dren are coming home to eat him.
Well get cranberries like SO many
red jewels. and celery to make
plumes fit for a knight just to deck
him. Wen battle him in gravy and
scent him with sweet herbs and
We'll make a ruff and cuffs to set off
his beauty Oh. he'll look majestic
on the big platter.
So come along gobbler. we're go

Plump yourself in breast and drum
