BOTH WILL RECOVER
Two Radcliffe College Girls Attempt Suicide But Do Not Explain Why.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 12. The mood in which Miss Grace Williams of Worcester, and Miss Margaret Scoggin, living in this city, entered into the agreement to take their lives by poison was still matter of mystery today to authorities at Rad cliffe college, where they were stu dents, and to their parents. The young women will recover, 1t was in dicated, although at the Cambridge hospital, doctors said Miss Scrog- gins condition was only fair.
 Dr. E. II. Bigelow of Birmingham, uncle of Miss Williams, to whose home she was taken from the hos pital yesterday, said the young wom- an was getting along well. It was difficult to understand, he said, why she and Miss Scoggin, both of good standing at the college as stated by the officials there. should attempt suicide, he said, and his niece had thrown no light on tho subject since she was brought to his home. Miss Scoggin's mother, Mrs. Margaret E. Scoggin is said to have come from Missouri to live with her daughter during her course at Radcliffe, and they shared an apartment near the college. Miss Williams lived at a student dormitory.

Dry Shampoos.

The dry shampoo is the most awkward

hair must be rnade fuffy, and when a
regular soap -and-water shampoo cannot
be indulged in.
However. II cold intsrferes with the
hair being washed In tho usual way, this
hint might help. Pin all the hair into a
knot on top Of the head except a fringe
about an inch wide around the edges Of
the scalp. Put some hot water in a
basin and make a thick lather Of good
soap suds. preferably CASTLE. Wiring a

loose hair hang in the water. too, and

holding the head over heat to quicken
the process. Rub the scalp afterward
with little toilet water. The result
the hair that shows is fluffy and clean,
and so little Of the scalp has been wet
that there is no danger Of making the

At other times buy regular shampoo

What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Capricorn.

Fairly good vibrations operate
until noon and favor all routine,
everyday matters or regular duties.
After this time, the Moon is forming
a conjunction with Uranus, which
creates an influence that inclines to
extremes, sudden conclusions or un-
expected changes. If the mind can
be kept poised, this tends to awaken
the imagining and incentive faculty,
quickening the thought and intuition,
leading the mind into new and orig
inal lines OF interest, investigation
or adventure. It favors attention to
things that are new, odd, unique, or
original, curious or mysterious. 1t
also inclines toward reforms, and
humanitarianisn1. In the right kind
of people, it will awaken the bes.
emotions. In others, not so level
headed, 1t Will engender actions and
thoughts that are erratio cranky
and reDellious.
A child born today will, after sue
cessfully outliving the multifarious
vicissitudes of infancy, acquire
strength rapidly. and develop into q
"grown-up" of average health and
normal condition. So far as its
character is concerned, il will be both
energetic and competent, and possess
an excellent mechanical and exeou-
tive ability. 1t will at no time be
half-hearted. and will always put
forth its best efforts, and do every
thing in the best possible manner. II
will enjoy the respect of one and all,
and should marry early in life.
If today is your birthday, you are
studious, intellectual, cautious and
discreet, and have a quick, keen mind.
You are just, considerate, shrewd and
honest. You love travel and are fond
OF out-of-door life and sport. You
love with strength, and are fond Of
your home, although you take an un-
falling interest In all social affairs.
The greatest measure Of material
success awaits you in some occupa-
tton. other than that OF q sedentary
nature Indoor work, although en-
1oyed by some, Is frksome to you,
and your nature requires expansion
without confinement or restraint. This
natural aptitude for out-of-door work
has bred within you a certain amount
of wanderlust, and you are, in order
to satisfy this desire, making changes
in your career too quickly for your
own good. While it does not always
pay to stay put, on the other hand,
1t must not be forgotten that a rolling
stone gathers no moss, and constant
changes. although they may yield a
temporary advantage, do not make
for continued success.
Well known persons born on this
date are: Joel T. Headley, author;
John w. Geary, soldier; William r.
Alger, clergyman; Cornelius E. Fem
ner, poet; Thomas Ryan, composer;
Alfred E. Smith, Governor of New
York.

the greatest care to make as little
noise as possible.
Little Joe, Mrs. Otter and the two
young Offers had almost reached the
pond when Little Joe's ears caught a
sound that caused him to stop and
look back along their trail. He saw
that man running. He recognized
him instantly as one of those two
logged creatures called men, the only
only enemies Little Joe really feared.
I'VE must run for our lives!" he cried
and led the way, breaking the path
through the snow. Then began a
race for life. Little Joe knew that if
that man caught up with them they
would have no chance for their lives.
He knew all about that pond just
ahead. He knew that at one end there
were springs, and that when all the
rest Of the pond was covered with
ice there usually was open water
above those springs. If they could
reach open water they would be safe.
Such a race as that was! Though
the Offers did their best, they could
not travel as fast through the snow
as the man. He gained on them with
every step. How thankful Little Joe
and Mrs. Otter were that he had no
terrible gun. Had he had a terrible
gun, they would have had no chance
at all. But even without a terrible
gun he would surely kill them all
unless they could reach that open
water.
Through the trees they saw the
black, smooth ice of that pond just
ahead of them. They bounded and
plunged ahead with all their strength.
Little Joe was ahead to break the way
through the snow. Then came the
two young Offers, and Mrs Otter was
last That trapper was almost within
striking distance as she spranE out
onto the ice. Out there the Offers
could travel faster than the trapper.
They would make several bounds for
ward and then throw themselves on
their stomachs and slide II was sur
prising how fast they travelled over
that fee. But the trapper couldn't
run fast on the Toe. II was too slip
perry. He did his best, but he fell
farther and farther behind. Finally
he threw his club at Mrs. Otter. 1t
just missed her. A minute later, one
after another, Little Joe and his fam
lily disappeared in the open water.
They had won their race for life.

time-so soon outgrown--to make
so costly a fur as ermine seem worth
while. White coney or rabbit that
has been sheared to initiate errnine
is used 70 make charming little coats
for the very little girl.
Squirrel, on the other hand, cannot
be initiated SO well. Rabbit dyed
squirrel color Is usually far less at
tractiVe than the naturally white
rabbit that Is simply sheared 70 imi-
tate ermine. The softness, light
ness and delicacy of the squirrel
pelt combined with fairly good
wearing qualities, make it most ap-
propriate for the young Lady's very
first fur coat.
And here is fact about squirrel
fur that is news to many persons
not engaged in the fur business. The
Industrious little animal that chat
ters and begS nuts in our city parks
and abounds in many of our AmerI-
can forests is not the animal from
which we get our squirrel coats and
trimmings. Personally, have often
wondered why squirrel fur was not
ranked with the cheaper pelts when
seemingly there was such an abun-
dance of squirrels so near at hand.
The fact Is that only Siberian and
Russian squirrels are of Importance
to the furriers; comparatively
small number OF inferior pelts come
from Japan, China, Mongolia, Fin
land and Lapiand. while the Amer
can squirrel is so lacking in under
fur and otherwise so inferior from
the furrier's point Of view that no
one covets his coat.
1t is interesting, too, TO learn that
the present fashion calls for only
blue-tinged squirrel skins, whereas
some years ago red tinge was con
sidered very desirable in the squire
wrap or collar. Now any SQUIRE
pelts showing a reddish hue are dyed,
to be used as imitation sable or ko-
linsky, while only the blue-tinted
skins-most of which come from 81
beria-are looked upon as really
choice"

Fauorite Recipes of
Prominent Women,
NV EDNA NJ GILMAN
Coffee Cake.
MRS. ALLIE ID. WILLIS,
BY EDNA NJ. CoLMAN.

How much of a mans political suc-
cess is due to the tact, diplomacy and
wisdom of a. clever wife can never be
estimated, since the women of this
type, married to men Of ambition,
subordinate so often all personal
careers to the advancement Of hus-
bands interests.
Mrs Willis is one of the charming
matrons of official circles who make
and hold friends. While ably and
graciously discharging all of Her
manifold social obligations she is
never conspicuously in the limelight,
preferring rather to make her influ-
ence felt.
Mrs. Willis has served an ap-
prenticeship in a school of experience
as the wife of a man always active
and prominent in affairs wherever he
found himself He was a professor at
the Ohio Northern University, then
member Of the State Legislature, next
a member of the United States House
of Representatives, from which he
resigned to become Governor of
Ohio. Then he was sent to the United
States Senate in 1920, being appoint
ed by the Governor of Ohio to fill the
unexpred term of Warren G. Harding
when he moved into the presidency.
Mrs. Willis was Miss Allie Dustin
OF Galena, Ohio. She is essentially
homemaker and recommends a. per-
sonally tried recipe for cake:
Coffee Cake.-Two cups of light
brown sugar, one cup shortening, two
thirds lard, one-third butter; two
eggs, one teaspoon each of CHINA
mon, cloves and allspice. one-half
pound raisins, one teaspoon soda, ono
cup cold coffee. Mix all together and
add -four enough to make as thick as
gingerbread. Bake in a. slow oven
one hour and a quarter.
