What Today Means to You
Aquarius.
BY. MARY BLAKE

The planetary aspects of today,
while not very favorable for any en-
terprise Of far-reaching dimensions.
are not adverse to efforts of g. con-
servative and minor character. The
vibrations also indicate a stimulating
atmosphere for all work demanding
research and study. In short, IL is a
good opportunity for the working
out of plans, but a poor occasion for
putting them into operation. This is
day demanding great will power in
order to avoid ''contretemps" Your
desire will be to become excessively
outspoken, and any Indulgence of
this mood will inevitably bring about
that which you most earnestly wish
to avoid. In order TO get through the
day without a setback" you must be
reflective, conservative and deliber-
ate. --s
child born today will at birth
possess every symptom of physical
perfection. With regular nutrition
and proper care. it will, in all proba-
bility, escape most of the ills to which
infants are subject. 1t will, however.
need more attention, once il has
passed the stage of babyhood, as this,
IL proper vigilance is not exercised.

very vivacious. and, at all times, full
of fun. You possess a keen sense of

wit provokes and does not -propitia late.
In your affections you are vers'
constant and. faithful, and there are
few jars or differences in your life as
a result Of your optimistic outlook
and your attitude, in the face of dis
aster, OF always persuading one and

You are very fond Of children and

rosy tones one sees.
The tendency to boyish and mannish
effects in women's clothes which is
SO apparent and sometimes sd much
decried at present has, fortunately,
not affected the matter of color. Per-
haps If women really did go into the
sort of half mourning that men of the
Occident have adopted ever since the
French Revolution the men them
selves would take to gay colors in
self-defense. AS 1t is, they go their
own dull-hued way, depending on
women to offer the much-needed
touch of color to daily life.
Now the most mannish of tailored
frocks and suits are presented in
clear. bright, sometimes light colors.
And-not that this has anything to
do with mannish clothes-did you
know that in Paris smart women are
going back to stockings of a real
flesh tint-having given up for eve
ming at least the browner and pinker

Madeira Embroidery.

Madeira embroidery is always more
or less fashionable. We are accus-
toned to seeing IL on tea napkins,
tray cloths, doilies. doilie sets and
small table cloths, where its delieacy

BILE reasonableness of price. never fail
soul.
We are SO used to hearing that
Madeira embroidery is made by
hand" that we are surprised to learn
that, while this is true, II is done
in factories, for the most part ], for
one, had pictured in fancy the primi
tive women stitching away at the
endless scrolls and stems, sitting
crouched on the ground before their
huts or tents-or whatever the do
mestic architecture may be in the
land where Madeira embroidery Is
done. Thus does romance give way
before the march of industrialism.
The center of the industry is in
Funchal, capital of the Madeira
Islands, off the west coast of Africa,
where II Is said that there are about
$4,000 women who make their living
by embroidering. Until recently, at
least, whatever the conditions may
be today, they did this work under
tndt WoulQ eeeTn very
strange to US here in America, plying
their needles necessarily through all
the hours of daylight. and at a very
poor rate of pay.
Several new factories have recently
been completed, however, and all are
kept working at top speed. Altogeth-
er there arc about 80 factories en-
gagged in this business, of which
something like half are under the
control of Syro-Americans. Before
the war the Germans controlled the
trade.
There are two ways in which the
product of the~workers is purchased
by the United States. 1t is~efther
bought outright frem a 1ocats supply
concernE or an agent purchases the
linen cloth and contracts for the en-
broiderfng.
BY far the greater proportion of
the output finds its way to the United
states. where the demand seems to
be increasing rather than falling off.
However, large quantities are also
sent regularly to Great Britain and
to France.

EYESIGHT VARIES WITH
AGE.

W7HEN are your eyes the best? AT
w what age does the average per-
son see clearest? The United States
public health service has endeavOred
to answer this question by a careful
examination of the eyes Of ten thou
sand persons. Half of them were
school boys from six to sixteen and
half of them were working men from
eighteen up. The boys were public
school pupils in South Carolina, Mary
land, Delaware and New York and
the wOrkmen were employees in post
Offices, in glass, pottery. foundry.
steel, chemical. cigar. gas and cement
industries in various parts of the
United States.
This number is large enough to in
clude every variety of sight defect.
What were the results of this large
number of examinations?
The public health experts found
that the percentage Chat is, the num-
Der out of every one hundred persons
examined) of persons with normal
vision increased with age from six
years up to eighteen years. after
which it declined and that the rate of
decline was much more rapid after
forty-five than before.
This would indicate that in chill
dren with good eyesight. school work
was not as hard strain on the eyes
as different forms of work taken up
after leaving school.
The investigation also showed that
If the eyes were markedly defective.
school work still further weakened
them and that the percentage of peg
sons with markedly defective vision
increased steadily after six years of
age. The rate Of increase was more
rapid curing school sge than in the
early years of Industrial work
The percentage of persons with
moderately defective vision decreased
during the school ages. then Increased
from twenty to fifty and then declined
again.
The general conclusion from these
facts would seem to be that If one
has good eyes, school work improves
the vision but that. in persons with
poor eyesight school work is harder
than industrial work, probably be-
cause persons having, very poor eyes
naturally select work which does not
require acute vision. In any case. the
eyesight is best at about. eighteen

IDIOSYNCRASY

TDIOSYNCRASY. This Is a long
= word. What does 1t mean? 1t
stands for something which we know
exists but no ore knows what 1t is.
A familiar prOverb which goes back
to the old Greek writer's is that "One
mans meat is another mans poison"
This is terse way of saying that d
food which will agree with and nour-
ish one person will produce Injurious
effects on another. The food is just
the same In both instances, SO the
difference must be in the individuals.
What is the difference? No one
knows. Yet strawberries, which most
people enjoy, will cause nausea and
vomiting and severe rash. in some
cases. recall patient who could
not eat lobster. Her friends knew 1t
and never offered it to her. Taking
lunch at a hotel with friends, a salad
was ordered which contained small
amount of lobster meat, although this
was not known to any Of the party.
Inside of ten minutes after eating the
salad. this lady was taken violently
Ill. BY the time she could be taken
to room and undressed. her body
was covered from head to foot with
-R<vivid scarlet Eruption. The other
members of the party, who ate ex'
actly the same salad, showed no
symptoms at all.
Certain drugs produce unusual eff
fects on some people. Others are I'M
pleasantly affected by the odors of
certain flowers or the presence of GER
tain animals.
At recent meeting of German
scientists, Professor Dorr of Basel dis
cussed this subject, which has be.
come one of practical importance on
account of the different way in which
individuals are affected by animal
serums.
Ii has been found that the various
individual forms OF sensitiveness
possess the same peculiarities. A
person who is unusually sensitive to
one material is sensitive to that ma.
terial alone; that is, person who
cannot eat lobster can eat oysters
and fish with immunity. person
who is sensitive to strawberries can
eat apples, grapes. plums or pears
without any discomfort. Another pc
culiarity is that the symptoms caused
in sensitive person have nothing
whatever to do with the effects thai
the same substance produces in nor
NAL individuals. The third peculiar
lily is that symptoms produced by any
of these objects in any Individual who
is sensitive to them are all alike.
This is also true of animal serums.
Probably hay fever is the best-knowD
example of such sensitivenesS.
No one knows why certain persons
are sensitive to certain objects.
Not knowing the cause. however
has not prevented scientific men from
giving these peculiar conditions a
name nearly as long as the old one.
Cases of iii0syncrasy are now said
to be caused by anaphylaxis. This
does not increase our knowledge. but
II gives us one long word to take the
place of another.

1t is better to sign at least one, full

her sex should be Indicated.
E A married woman in signing her

letter, it is a good plan for business
men to employ the military method Of
signing the letter over the typewrit-
ten signature. In social letters, one
cannot do this, and so should be care
full to write plainly.
Some men, bankers often. take pride
in signing their names so that the sig
nature can neither be forged nor de-
elphered. This practice may be pro-
lection, but it causes those to whom
they may write. considerable annoy

their names printed or engraved al

you will be sure to leave an even, reg

without a margin looks as sloppy. and
untidy, as man without a collar. A
margin is not necessary upon the right
side of the sheet.
Beginnings and endings are impor-
tant., We are now much less formal
In the use of these conventional forms
than our forefathers were. The salu-

individual, one may say Dear Sir"
my dear Sir" or "My dear Mr.
Johns" The last of these forms in
each case is the least formal, and the
most friendly. The more formal forms
are used when there is no personal ac-
quaintance between the persons con-
Quoting the correspondence. If the
persons concerned are close friends.
1t Is permissible to say. "My dear

These complimentary beginnings, ex-
cepting when they include proper

first and last words only capitalized.
Such complimentary beginning is
usually preceded by the name and adj
dress Of the one to whom the letter is
