Unreliable Ursula.

Ursula Is perfectly harmless per
son. doing no one any evil. and yet she
irritates her friends beyond mes sure
In fact, she's ir'ritated some of them
into state where they've definitely
scratched her name Off their lists.
You see-you simply can't depend
on her. If she asks you to lunch, tell
Ing YOU that she wants quiet talk
with YOU alone, and will you please he

You fdget around for 20 minutes.
and then little Ursula strolls In. look
ing rather bored. with no word Of
apology for being late-just friendly
greeting.
And YOU learn to your surprise that
three more people are due TO arrive
for lunch.
If you pin the unreliable one down
to facts, remind her that she wanted
to have a confidential chat with YOU.
she gives you Il sweet. vague smile
and murmurs: ''Oh. did |: Wen. I've
forgotten what l wanted To tell YOU"
You grind your teeth in rage. be
cause your only reason for lunchins
with her was To have Il few minutes
alone with her and a quiel gossip.
And If YOU hate this sort of treat
ment. consider how much more The
boys hate IT,
Ursula promises Teddy that she
save next week end for him, if he's
going to he in town.
When ne breeZes in on Friday night
and finds that his fair one has com
pletely overlooked her promise and
gone off to house party. his ardor
is considerably damp.ned.

know what's the matter with her.
You don't suppose for minute that
she's in any better with him for max
ing him wait and worry. If she gives
him enough of that sort of treatment
he's off her for life.
How can a man work up any great
feeling for a girl who can't be depend
ed on for anything? ANY ideas of
marriage must vanish from his head
after he's had a taste of Ursula :
vague. dreamy, confusing methods.
1t hurts mans vanity To have
dates broken one after the other. To
wait for hours. TO have his plans up
set and DESTROYED by the foraetfulneSs
of his lady fair.

What 7 TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
benign and the vibrations stimulating
until a little after noon. They then
become adverse. and continue so for
the remainder of the day. During the
morning the signs denote that the Gus.
tomary ObserVances and usual recrea-
tions Of Sunday can be INDUCED
with every prospect of profit and en-
jovment. In the afternoon and eve
ming there need be nothing to disturb
the peaceful atmosphere, provided
you exercise selfrestraint and do not
give way to the feeling Of depression
and disa ppointment that YOU will
sense.

prone TO undertake tasks beyond its
strength. Its character will be cheer

its love of fun. combined with tracta

1t will not necessa rily be lacking in
intelligence because of its love of

II tomorrow is your birthday, YOU
subordinate your conscience to Your
ambition and are none too scrupulous
in attaining your ends. You are not
oonsiderate of others, and are at no
time prepared to sacrifice your per
sonal interests for the benefit of kith
and kin or your friends. You are mas
terful and AT times overbe&rlng.
When. however. YOU are called upon
to act in a matter that has no rela-
ton with your plans-whether they
oe to climb either the social or com
mercial ladder-you unhesitatinelv re-
spond. and are generous and helpful.
As matter OF fact. YOU are ca bic
OF very strong love. but take pleas
