What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Virgo.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects show
a continuation of favorable conditions.
They apparently favor all new enter.
prises, provided thought and careful
deliberation has been previously given
them. Under no condition do the signs
spell success for anything of a specu-
lative or risky character. In taking
advantage, if you do, of these condi-
tionS for the launching of some fresh
undertaking, care must be taken to
avoid misrepresentation, as the very
optimistic sense that will be in evi-
dence is liable to make your wish
father to the thought and possibly
color YOUR ideas with too roseate a
hue. Go ahead, by all means, but go
ahead slowly!
A girl, born tomorrow, will eXpe.
rience quite lot of sickness during
infancy, but with correct Authorization
and careful attention will outlive these
early weaknesses and blossom into a
healthy and wholesome womanhood. A
boy, on the other hand, will be prac-
tically immune to sickness during his
early years, but will in all probability
suffer more or less from one or two
ailments of gravity during his youth.
In disposition and temperament both
boy and girl will be very similar. They
will both have winning ways and a
frmneSS or decision and strength OF
character that will keep them from
doing things that they should not do,
or leaving undone those things that
they should do.
If tomorrow is your birthday your
character is made up of many contra
dictions. At times YOU are very de-
penda bic and reliable. At other times
you are whimsical and headstrong. At
times you are cool, self-contained and
reserved. AT other times you are i'm
pulsive, emotional and frank to the
point of excessive candor.
In one thing, however, you never
change. You always refuse to take
anything for granted, and must be
shown
blessed with a confiding. dominant
love and have a home that will be
both attractive and happy.

Pitcher Plant.

If you want to see the strangest
flower around Washington, so out to
Laurel or Benning and try to find
the pitcher plant. 1t TX q, much bet
ter test Of wits than trying to solve
cross word puzzles, for the pitcher
plant in our neighborhood has a way
of tucking itself into queer corners
especially where the ground is soft
and moist, for it likes ever TO keep
its feet in wet soil if not actually
upon a bog.
The pitcher plant is O. monster that
eats animals; it traps its prey and
devours ii, much as "a spider spreads
net of flies. 1t is chiefly upon
feeds. The very mark by which the
pitcher plant may always be recog-
nized is it's wicked organ of offense
the long tubular-staped leaves with
a sort OF enticing ear-shaped open
ing at the top. The insect flying
about in search of nectar peers down
the tube and sees at. the bottom
a little shining liquid. lie thinks
he has found his meal, though
rain water collected there. And could
he see more closely he would dis
cover the corpses of his fellows in
the bottom of the pool.
Down he goes, at any rate, and
finds that his way is impeded by
long hairs which, however, are easily
pushed apart, and plunges to the bot
tom, into cold bath. Now he tries
TO get up, but finds his way barred
by the long hairs, which are like a
turnstile that will revolve i'm one
direction but not the other Baffled

Peters head that Bobby might know
what Mrs. Snapper had been about

"She dug a hole big enough for her

Make Use of Long Mirror.

Be sure things tit we'll or can be al
tered easily. Do not allow yourself
to buy otherwise, though price, style
and color suit. 1t usually ruins
ready-t wear garments to take them
in too much. The lines will never be
the same, and lines absolutely must
be correct. When trying on a gar
ment, always look in a full length
mirror, preferably a triplicate mirror,
to assure yourself that the back and
sides tit as well as the front, and that
the garment suits you from head to
foot. Whether the style is for long or
short waist lines, they must come in
the right place on you. in accord with
the vogue. An exaggerated long
waist, for instance. looks ridiculous
on very short person. 4 dress that
is too large makes a woman appear
stouter than she really is, and this is
something to avoid. Too small a
dress is quite as bad, however, for
it Will draw across the hips and cup
to say nothing of its looking skinny
across the bust. This is sure to in
terfere with the set of the sleeves.
One thing more, remember that what
suits one person may look very badly
on another. Therefore do not try to
ape another's style unless YOU are
convinced that it is your style too.
Preserve individuality within the
realm of prevailing vogues.

It is unwise to buy more than one

however, unless money is no object.
A novelty blouse or one especially
modish sport frock may add chic to

even better for this purpose, and do
not increase the expense account TO

season means being ready for the
next Weigh these matters we'll be-
fore deciding which is wisest in your
own case-the early or late buying.
Each has points in its favor, as you
can readily understand.
Suitability of STYLES is a point that
cannot be stressed too much. If you
expect an article to last two. or even
three seasons, buy conservative cuts
and colors that are not pronounced.
Watch the trend of fashion 10 insure
getting advance modes.
When Fads May BE Followed.
If you plan to wear a dress, coat
blouse, etc, but one season and get
the good out of it by constant use,
you may pick out articles that
are even faddish, provided they suit
your style. When this is the case
the fabric does not have to be care
fully considered. Long wear is not
expected. If the article looks we'll
during one season. that is satisfactory,
so a less expensive garment fills the
need. Good material is absolutely es-
sential, however, for endurance and
continued wear without becoming
shabby.
