What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Taurus.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
extremely favorable, and the vibra-
tions are so stimulating as to make
it necessary to warn people not to
do all that they are urged to do. Opt
mism, created by the conditions pre-
Vailing. will urge you to attempt Wnat
is apparently impossible, and your de-
sires should be governed to the extent
or degree of rea sonableness. You Will
experience an aggressive feeling
which may lead you to do those
things which are doomed to failure
and. which, at other times, you would
never even attempt. 1t were well
tomorrow TO exercise moderation in
all things, as much in speech as in
action. and not to let dreams beset
you, but to tackle only those things
which are practical and which YOU
are sure can be realized.
A child born tomorrow will, during
the first few months of its existence,
cause worry and anxiety. These,
however. can be overcome by proper
care and a healthy constitution built
up. so that a child which at birth
displays signs of Inherent weakness
will grow up to healthy physical ma
turity. This child's disposition will not
be very serious, as it will be reserved
and shy, but it will have a character
of many excellent traits. 1t will be
dependable, truthful, clean-living.
and content. 1t will not be very am
bilious, now will 1t look with very
great favor on material success.
Rather will 1t apply itself to develop
ment Of character along the best lines.
This Child'S future in material way
may not prove very fair; but in a
spiritual way its success will be as
sured.
Is April % your birthday? If so.
YOU have a sympathetic nature. You
are very kind and generous to fault.
You have very little regard for money,
and can never be accused Of thrift.
ness. You are very uncOmmunica-
tive, and prefer to struggle along with
your troubles alone rather than drag
others into your confidence. Up to
certain point you are very strong
minded. and when you make up your
mind to do anything you do it regard
less of all consequences. This has
led you into serious difficulties in the
past, and will continue TO do so in the
future; and unless you are willing to
confer with others you will not
achieve that success you either de-
serve or desire. 1t is a well known
fact that too many cooks spoil the,
broth; on the other hand it is con-
tended that two heads are better
than one and the value of the latter
action is one that should be appre-
ciated by you.
Well known persons born on this
date are:
Lewis E. Parsons, lawyer and gov
ernor; Silas S. Packard, educator:
James Grant Wilson, author and
editor; Palmer Cox, artist and
author; Frank Hatton, journalist.

THEN SHE TURNED TO JIMMY.
GOOD NIGHT" said she.
time when one is feeling wholly free
and without responsibility of any
kind. And such a family,
But Jimmy had done his best and
had touched noses with each of the
nine and tried to look proud. All the
time he had wondered how he ever
in the world would be able to know all
of them. All the time he was think
ing that no longer would he be able
to go and come as he pleased, but now
he would have TO help hunt for food
for all these babies and do his share
in looking after them and seeing that
they didn't get in trouble.
Just then Mrs. Jimmy spoke to the
babies. You've been'out long enough
for this time said she. Wen go
back into the house, now that you
have seen your father and he has seen
you"
She turned and led the little pro
cession back to the henhouSe and then
she waited while the nine little Skunks
filed in. Then she turned to Jimmy
Good night" said she.
"Oh, but I'm coming, too,' said he
''Oh, but you're not" said she.
why not?" demanded Jimmy
But Mrs. Jimmy made no reply.
She had disappeared inside the house
Jimmy was tempted to follow her in,
but thought better of it. He knew by
experience that it was best to do as
Mrs. Jimmy said. He waited around
a while. hoping that she would come
out again. But she didn't, and finally
he went back under the barn to think
things over.
Nov, why did she bring all those
going to let me stay with them?" he
mumbled. 1T is a great note If
fellow can't go into his own house to
see his own children" Then he re
membered that that wasn't his house:
it was Mrs. Jimmy's. He hadn't even
been inside it. well. the babies are
mine, anyway" he continued. MY
goodness, what lot of them, 1t Is
a real old-fashioned family. / remem.
ber hearing my grandfather say that
he was one of ten. But what is the
good of having a family if you can't
be with them? Well, anyway, I'm
still free. If Mrs. Jimmy wants to
bring up all those youngsters without
any help / guess she is welcome to
the job"
Despite this, Jimmy hung around
near the henhouse great deal. Now
and then he saw the babies playing
close to the doorway, but whenever
he approached them they scampered
inside. Now and then Mrs. Jimmy
joined him in search of food, but al
ways alone.
THE babies are not big enough and
strong enough to take long walks, i"
she would explain. SO the days
slipped into weeks and the babies
grew and Jimmy was still free. But
somehow he was tiring of that free
dom. He wanted company. He
wanted the company of Mrs. Jimmy
and the babies.

Trees and Shrubs.

1.-THE Sequoias are the most inter
esting trees in the world, declared the
student gardener, "and even their
history must be on gigantic lines
Their history links them with
remote past" said Mr.. Burbank, for
they date back to a far-off time when
The North Pole may have heen what
IS now the tropics. and when these
trees. with naples. magnolias and
palms grew there. Then came the Ice
Age and the ice sheets drove both
animals and plants southwark. Some
were exterminated, others cleverly
modified their forms and stood out
against the cold. and some, like the
Sequoias, found favorable locations
where they could survive.
The ancesors of the Sequoias
found a sheltered place on the western
slopes of the Sierras, and some wan
dered even nearer to the sea coast
and became modified enough to form
a distinct botanical species-the red
wood.
But both of these trees as they
stand today are perhaps almost the
only unchanged forms of tree life that
existed before the Glacial Period, eX
cept perhaps, the oaks, pines and
spruCeS.'
Have you ever experimental with
these trees?" asked the student.
II have done a certain amount of
work upon all of them said Mr.. Bur
bank. There We're types produced
with long, graceful, dropping branches
and other variations. and doubtless
patience and perseverance might pro-
duce new types of redwoods, and it
certainly opens up an unusually in
teresting question.
1T is a drop from Sequoias to
shrubs" said the gardener after a
long pause, but our list Of shrubs is
not yet complete
And the list will be a long one. :"
said Mr.. Burbank, probably far
longer than the average amateur will
care to fill out all at once. But we
can make selections from these names:
Barberries, anonymous, myrtles,
hydrangea. lilacs, kerrias. mock
oranges, spireas, deutzias. Japanese
quince, aZaleas, rhododendrons,
weigelas, hawthornes, cotoneasters,
the pyracanthas, and the bush cram
berry, and hundreds of others.
Some of these have both dwarf
and tall varieties; some have bright

foliage. some bloom in the Spring,
some in the Summer and some bear
berries in the Autumn. So the grower
must make careful study of them
all and select enough to be at their
best as nearly through the year as
possible"
What about cultural directions?"
eSked the amateur who was beginning
TO ~eel overwhelmed.
THE ground. of course must be
properly prepared and fortified. if
not already in good condition, ana
the holes dug just a lit le larger only
than the spread of the roots so that
they will not be Cramped. When the
tree or shrub is planted, and the
spaces filled with soil. to within few
inches of the top, the space may be
filled with water and allowed to soak
away. This distributes the soil around
the feeding roots and refreshes the
plant When fairly dry the hole may
be filled up to the top with soil.
"It is important to choose a favor
able day. cloudy if possible. and at
least with no dry, harsh winds blow
ing to dry out the exposed roots. And
if needed, a stake should be driven
before or after planting, but avoid
injuring the roots.
After planting and stalking, the
ground may be mulched with old
leaves or weeds and the young shrub
will be well started in its new life.
The larger shrubs such as lilacs, may
be set about to feet apart, accord
ing to space, but the smaller ones
may be planted about 2 or feet
apart, SO that the grower may get
good effect as soon as possible"
THE same rule probably holds with
shrubs in regard to thinning them out
as with trees" asked the amateur.
Yes. but not quite as much cour-
age will be required

ical africa sun and 1 am really warm

Warm and lazy. A good ship on

There is something very quaint and
appealing about a four-post bed and
its traditional ruff1ingS and canopy. 1T
achieves the difficult feat of appear
ing at once very airy and very snug
and always it is dainty and inviting.
There is nothing quite so nice as
dotted swiss to make drapes with
truly colonial air. Pure white is
lovely, but a dot of color Is effective,
too. White swiss dotted with red
might be used to drape a bed in a
room where the walls were covered
with chintz-patterned paper display
ing a note of red. where the ruff1ed
window curtains matched the bed dra-
peries, and where red and black
braided mats were scattered on a
black painted floor spattered in white
after the Cape Cod manner.
Decorative accessories in such a
room might well be ruby-tinted col-
