What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Virgo.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
very inauspicious and unfavorable un-
til about sundown, when a sudden
change is apparent. indicating an
awakening of emotion and a stimula-
ton of thought and activities. During
the day there will be present an at
mosphere of nervousness and unneces-
Sary worry. 1t would under such
conditions, be impolitic and ineXpedi-
ent to attempt to do that which could
be conveniently left for a more pro-
pitious occasion, as you, in all prob
ability, will not be in a state Of mind
to encourage concentration Of effort.
In the evening all social functions or
family reunions promise to be produc-
tive of happiness. Furthermore, If the
opportunity should be desired and
should present itself. advantage can
be taken Of the benign and emotional
sense to put your. love to the test"
Children born tomorrow will not, ap-
parently. possess that strength and
vigor of constitution which will, un-
aided, carry them safely through the
ticklish period Of infancy. They will
all need very careful nutrition and a
clockwork system Of living, and, IL
given the one and provided with the
other, they will. although in some
cases with difficulty, attain physical
normalcy. In disposition, they will
be rather peevish and complaining,
but this will largely be a natural re-
suit of their physical condition. AS
they grow up this condition will dis
appear, and give way to contentment
and a philosophical state of mind.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are very fond of change, and such
changes as you make are liable to be
quite sudden and unexpected. You
are very partial to the attractions of
society and very punctilious in carry
ing out what you consider to be your
social obligations, and. under any and
all circumstances, are a stickler for
convention, as you have a wholesome
fear of Mrs. Grundy."
In your love you are very demon.
strative. In your hatred-and YOU can
hate with enthusiasm-you are very
bitter. You are known as a good
friend and an implacable enemy. You
possess a large amount of Sang frofd"
and are able to repress your inner.
most feelings. You do not carry your
heart on your sleeve, and, even though
you may be worrying yourself to
death, the outside or onlooker would
never guess 1t.
Well known persons born on that
date are: William Weigel, United
States Army general; George P. La
throp, author, founder and president
of American Copyright League; Edgar
Wilson Nye c'Bin Nye'), humorist:
Francis Bret Harte. author; Samuel r.
Franklin, Naval officer, and Gardiner
Greene Hubbard, lawyer.

American newspapers not because
Of any brillian bit OF debate but be-

Lady Astor had worn hats Of moro
Subdued color when she sat in Par
lament. a conventional small hat
OF black seemed most appropriate
But Ellen Wilkmson's green hat was

For a time a year or more ago the
little felt hat of green was a favorito
with young women here. But these

grayish green. The green hat of the
moment, however, is a rich NeruneSc
green. and it is made of velvet, velour
or some sort Of long-nap felt.
Some one influential in the mold

to match her frock. Hats Will no

when you could wear your green hat
would be when you wore a green

a frock of neutral shade or to 70
a bout wearing hat and frock all of

something that some women would
not care to do.
But perhaps il is better for women
TO follow the rule of wearing hats ~

their own sweet fancy in the matter
and wear hats as they list. Earlier
in the season we saw women wear
ing fuchsia hats with henna- colored
coats. The effect was atrocious
Later we saw these same fuChsia

frocks-not very good, either, And
now the latest folly committed in the

The Journey Home.

Soon David's sadness at parting with
little Emily gave way to eXcitment
and joy at once more seeing his be-
loved mother. As they drew near
home he became more and more eX-
cited and impatient. Pegotty, how
ever. did not seem to share this i'm
patience. Indeed, she appeared to
hang back with a dread at arriving
home.
But in spite Of Pegotty. Blunder-
stone Rookery-as David's home was
called-1naIly came in sight. AS
they drove up, the dor opened
and David leaned far out to wave to
his mother. But when he looked it
was not she. a strange servant stood
in the door.
Here is David's attractive mother.
Make her hair golden brown and her
slip the faintest pink.

French Fried Potatoes.

Wash, scrub and pare the potatoes
and cut them in eighths lengthwise.
Let them stand in cold water until
all are ready. then dry them between
towels. Fry a few at a time in
smoking-hot fat. Drain on white
paper and sprinkle with salt. Serve
at once, as they retain their crispness
only short time. Often potatoes to
be fried are first soaked for one hour
or longer in ice water. The question
Of soaking or not soaking out pota-
toes in ice water before frying is a
matter of individual taste. When
sliced and left to stand in water a
large quantity of starch is lost and
the potato is more crisp as a result
In the other case the pieces would be
softer and more mealy.s

Sewing kits are favorite accessories
for work baskets and work bags, and
they prove of great convenience when
slipped into travelling bags or suit
cases. They can be made sufficiently
compact to be put into ordinary
handbags and be accessible at a mo-
ment's notice when an emergency
arises.
The sewing kit described today has
spool pockets that prevent thread
from getting Soiled. The strands do
not have to be ended off after each
needleful lest they unravel and tangle
with other threads. The fittings are
complete, and in-plain sight, and are
fastened so that they are secure in
their special places.
The kit can be developed in any
material one has on hand. The
spools will slip to opposite sides of
their pockets and so fit compactly if
the case Is rolled. The back pocket
portion supplies a handy receptacle
for odds and ends or for small bits
of sewing.
The size of the kit may be large or
small to suit the needs of the needle
woman or traveller. 1t may measure
but a few inches square, for instance
and hold but eight spoolS, four in a
row. or ii can be increased in length
or width, or both, and be a fairly ca
pacious sewing accessory, with many
rows Of spool pockets.
Directions.
Use a double thickness of material.
II this is alike on both sides cut one
piece long enough to be turned up
and form the first row of spool
pockets. If the fabric has a right
and wrong side, make both pocket
portions of separate strips of the ma
terial. Put one pocket strip along
the lower end of the kit and the sec
ond far enough above it to allow the
spools to be slipped in and out easily
when the kit needs to be stocked.
Mark the strips into quarters. Punch

the hair in that direction.
There is no need TO give up your

comb them away from the scalp and

How do you determine whether or
not a hat becomes you? Many, I
wager to say, consider its attractive
ness from the face view only. How
ever, it should measure up to three
other requirements-does it suit your
profile from the left, the right; does
it fit your head in back?

hat that does not abide by these stand

LIQUOR LAW COSTLY

Liquor law enforcement is costing the Manitoba government more than in the days of prohibition, Attorney General Craig stated at Winnipeg. The opposition had attacked the pro- posal to deduct part of the cost of enforcement from the municipalities liquor profits.

made deal with the Liberals, and the two parties easily overthrow the Tory Government.
 Last year the Fishermen's Union party had twelve of the thirty-six seats in the Newfoundland ParIia- ment; and with this balance of power Sir William Coaker virtually dictated governmental policies. The union now has 25,OOO members. When the Gov- ernment advised the British Colonial office as to candidates for knighthool one of the names submitted to it was that of probably the most villified person in the three hundred years history of Newfoundland.
 The Newfoundland fishermen are no longer the serfs of St. Johns traders. Thy have not become rich but they are emancipated. And busi- ness, strangely, doesn't seem to have been destroyed.
 Even before the Fishermen's Union went into politics, it went into busi- ness. Coaker organized the "Union Trading Company" which is the larg- est firm of it's kind on the island to- day. It is owned by the union and is cooperative. It has never aimed to moropolize the fish trade. He also organized the Union Shipbuilding Company, along similar lines, and several minor business enterprises. There is nothing socialistic in Sir Williams scheme of things; but a union dealing with business, he be- ieves, must know something about what business is.
 And how is this Soviet of Fisher men, I wondered, affecting the gen. eral business situation in the island of Newfoundland
 The answer is that, not the Con- servatives nor the Liberals, but the Fishermen's Union party, has taken the lead in encouraging the industrial development of the islands resources. Sir William himself went to England and secured the cooperation of the Armstrong-Whitworth interests in the devlopment of Newfoundland pulp and paper resources; and at the instance of the Fishermen's Union party the Newfoundland government guaranteed their bonds. The largest newsprint mill in the world is now being erected.
 Although he is not socialist, and believes in the capitalist system, it is interesting to note that he himself has utterly neglected to get rich. He works on a salary as chief executive of the Fishermen's Protective Union and of it's subsidiary business enter prises. His salary is $1OO month.
