What Today Means to You
DY MARY BLAKE.
Cancer.

Today's aspects. although not adverse,
are not of such an excellent nature as
to warrant any untried step or new ad-
ventures. They rather counsel delibera-
ton and prudence, although they very
distinctly favor any concentrated and
painstaking effort along well tried lines.
They predicate optimism, but care must
be exercised to avoid mental mirages.
A child born today will be subject to
minor infrmities in it's infancy, but, with
proper care and diligence. these will all
be successfully overcome. Its disposition,
although affectionate, will rather incline
to selfishness and self-will. Efforts can
not be begun at too early an age to
counteract these tendencies; although it
will fight tenaciously to have its own
way, and although giving in" to it will
prove the path of least resistance the
struggle must not be abandoned until
it's self-will has been conquered. 1t must
also be taught by example and precept
fits of unselfshness.
If today is your birthday you have
not, UP to the present allowed yourself
a fair opportunity of Self-expression. The
many good traits of character you pos
sess and the natural charm of your
disposition nave never been displayed to
advantage, because either your environ
ment is not congenial or your occupation
does not awaken your enthusiasm
These conditions have also marred
your success, as you have come to the
conclusion that nothing you attempt will
ever prosper. One who feels certain
that success is unattainable is seldom
mistaken.
The world centers in the individual i;
every man and woman is the hub of his
object is the person who constantly
fights his or her job. 1t is crucifixion of
soul and body to drudge-to do work in
which you are not interested.
The wise ne'er sit and wait their
plight, but cheerily seek how to reduce
their harms"

are: David Dale Owen geologist: Henry
Ward Beecher, clergyman. Rebecca
Harding Davis, author, a contributor to

Our ChildreD-By Angelo Patri

con, where he eats good meal and
walks deliberately back to school. He
| needs no candy now and should have
none. He is carrying all the food he
can properly digest.
When he gets home after 3 he will
want something to eat again. He gets
bread and jam and d glass of milk.
If he gets candy he gets no jam. He
goes out to play until supper time
when he eats another good meal. If
there is candy about the house the
growing boys and girls will want a
piece in the evening and then be-
gins the nibbling that does all the
harm. Ted will take another and an
other until somebody takes the box
away and then he protests loudly.
One of the best ways that mothers
have discovered to cure this evening
nibblng is to let the children make
their own candy. You know how you
feel about eating much of the pre-
serves you put up yourself? Some
thing of the same feeling is carried
over to the girls and boys when they
make their own candy. They will eat
il, but they won't be so likely to stuff
themselves with it.
Besides reducing the amount of
candy nibbIing, the fun of making the
candy is great. help. 1t is interest
ing and very instructive. After a
while they know that the dishes they
use have to be washed and replaced
and the stove cleaned and the kitchen
left in good order. That's good les
son. Then. too. skill in candy making
is not to be despised.
Best of all. there grows out of the
ward candy that lessons the craving E
for it, and puts ii more in place as
a pleasant food. Try letting the candy
nibbler make his own candy.

Making Candy.

Children and candy, one and in
separable, joy evermore. There's
something wrong with the child who
doesn't want candy. Either he is i'll
or he has just had more than his
share, so much more that even he,
or his abused stomach, recognizes il.
Candy is food and it ought to be
eaten as food is eaten, at the right time
and under the right circumstances.
/ am not so sure about making the
children wait until meal time and
then giving them candy when they
have had a full meal There is dan
ger of making trouble for per-
fectly good meal. Better make al
lowances for the candy as dessert If
you think the after meal time Is best
But from what | see of the children
and their sweets, they like best to
have a bit of candy between meal
times and unless the nibble becomes a
full fledged meal, it seems to do no
harm. Ted has had breakfast at s.;
works at lessons until 1890, when he
has recess. His mother has given
him three lemon drops-one for him
self and two to give away or all
three for himself if he feels that way.
Most children like to share their
candy at recess.
1t is very evident that the children
demand food at this time. but 1t is
very sure that they must not have
regular meal which they gobble with
out tasting, and set to work again.
A bit of fruit and a bit of good candy
seem to be about right.
Ted goes to work for another hour
or SO and then goes home to lunch

not reach all ears. the Chinese gong
is a charming way of calling the
members of the family and their
guests to the dining table. While the
hanging series of brass bells, each
with a different chime, may remain
in the hall within doors. it is an ex-
cellent scheme in summer to have a
portable gong, which may be lifted
out upon the Veranda-
| recently spent a week end at a
suburban home, where just such an
outdoor dinner gong was used. A
pedestal of wrought iron, painted
Chinese red. stood in corner of the
hall. At the top was an iron bracket,
which held a beautiful carved Chinese
plaque of brass, so swung that it
doomed pleasantly when struck with
the little mallet. which hung at the
side of the pedestal, an orange tassel
flying from it's handle. The whole
standard was SO light that it could be
lifted to window or out on the
south porch, overlooking the tennis
court or around to the terrace. where
the sound would reach back to the
garage.
The standard for this gong had
been designed by tie man of the
house and was executed by a local
foundry. The brass plaque itself was a
choice one, sent to the family from
the orient; but similar gongs may be
secured from shops handling oriental
articles While the standard is not
absolutely necessary and the gong
sounds as well if hanging clear of
the wall in any spot, it has been found
that the free-hanging gong swings
around in the wind and shows the
undecorated back as frequently as the
front By fixing the gong in stand
ard which holds it in place, it may
stand always with its handsome side
outward.

Bathing Suits for Children
BY MARY MARSHALL.

A SUMMER bathing suit has
~ come to be an essential in
n every child's summer ward
robe whether or not the child
gets within a hundred miles of a sea
or lake bathing beach. There are al
ways clear streams or pools large
enough for a child to wade in, and
even a garden fountain and a few
feet of rubber garden hose seem to
provide sufficient excuse for a child
nowadays to sport bathing suit.
One busy mother of several young
children has solved the dress prob
lem for her children, to her own sat
isfaction at least. by dressing her
children in bathing suits every day
and all day when they are at their
summer home in the country. For
very few afternoon occasions they
are put into regulation wash suits
and underclothes. For the rest one
piece bathing suit is put on fresh
every morning. Laundering them con-
Slsts simply of washing them and
hanging them up in the sun to dry
There is very little difference be-
tween some of the little folks bath
ing suits seen in this country now
adays and little combinations" of
the sort that most all little French
boys wear for play all summer. They
are sleeveless and very ort-leeged,
OFTEN of wool jersey, when they are
quite frequently worn without any
underthings at all.
The sketch shows a bit of bath
ing suit of red jersey cloth trim
med with white worSted embroidery.
You mayor may not-wish to have
your own bathing costume inconspic-
uouS, but a real purpose is served
when the .child's bathing suit is
bright and distinctive. For the nurse
or mother who must keep her eye on
children on the beach. to see that
they have not gone too far out or
are not wading in too deep water.
there is advantage certainly in hav-
ing a child clad in a bathing suit
sufficiently distinctive and bright
enough to be seen quickly and dis
tinctly.

Tomato and Crab Flake Salad.

luncheon or supper salad.
