they assume an entirely different

this atmosphere continues for the rest
of the day. During the forenoon, it
will be wise to abstain from tackling
any proposition of magnitude, or from
making any changes, or departure
from the ordinary routine. Under
protection of the auSpicious signs that
prevail later, new constructive eff

In character, a boy will be StudiouS

successfully to capitalize his efforts
in this direction. A girl, however,
will not have a very reliable charac-

inherent reserve will be used by her
very often to hide the truth.
If tomorrow is your birthday, your

tience with those who do not sub
scribe to your ideas. You are aggres-
sive, and have the happy knack of
being able to adapt yourself very
readily to circumstances. No one can
accuse you of selfishness, and you
are always thinking, to the exclusion
of yourself, Of the comfort and con-
venience OF others.
You very frequently make errors
of judgment, but, on the whole, you
have both long and reliable foresight.
You possess a great fund of personal
magnetism, and can influence others
very easily for either good or evil, as
people instinctively follow your lead.
You are very fond of music, as well
as of a bright and attractive home,
and if you have annexed a mate with
the same taste, your home life will be
pleasant, as well as happy.

the new bow ties of soft silk which
the smart young males of England
have affected so much this Summer.
And what about extending the en-
semble idea to your gentlemanly night
attire? They say-and of course one
takes such matters on hearsay-that
some of the Beau Brummels of Lon
don are wearing pajamas Of gay
colored and splendidly designed foulard
with dressing gowns or bath robes
to match. And that makes an en-
semble, does it not? OF course, if you
prefer. you may have your pajama
ensemble made of taffeta silk, or even
OF fine flannel, which will be COM
Portable when cold Autumn winds do
blow.
From the same reliable source
comes the information that the young
blades of London Town are going to
wear brightly striped hat bands on
light-to felt hats for the Autumn.
They call them college or university
stripes, don't they? And they have
been wearing them here as we'll as
there on Summer hats of straw. 1t
will be something of a novelty to see
them around the crown of felt hats.

Mr.. Adam, ought to do the same.

Distorp of Dour name

RACIAL ORIGIN--English.
SOURCE-A locality.

Here is a family name the origin of
which might be unfolded through a
study of a dictionary of Anglo Saxon

The family name is derived from the
name of a place in the parish of More

name YOU have to dig back further
and you find it in a word, which now
is obsolete, or so changed in form that

The ancient word was "stirk."
The change from "stirk to "strick"
in the place name is a development
which is paralleled in the transposi-

which shiftings of pronunciation, fol-

Good Leather.


To know good quality in leather is
not so simple matter as it used
to be.
The extraordinary demands for
leather goods in recent years have
not only brought into the market
many different grades of the various
kinds of leather, but have stimulated
the manufacture of much imitation
leather, and even that is now pro-
duced in numerous qualities.
And then the improved methods OF
graining, embossing. fiuff1ng and en-
ameling have brought a great variety
of finishes for each different quality
of leather, which complfcates- the
matter still more.
The old-time tanner used to slit a
piece of leather and judge It's quality
by the texture. 1t is still the surest
way. The inferior skin is spongy and
loose-teXtured. Good quality is fine
grained and firm and uniform In
thickness and color.
You Judge If the tanning has been
well done by looking for any evil
dence of uncured or living tissue.
Hard or horny spots in leather also
indicate poor tanning or currying. Any
of these faults in piece of leather

To one gallon of grapes, green or

oughly drained of all water, add one
half a cupful or one-fourth pint of
water and cook the fruit until thor
oughly done. Do not stir, but keep
pushed down in the juice until all are

bowl and through a sieve strain the
grape juice. and to each measure or
pound of juice add one pound of
granulated sugar while the juice is
very hot Stir until the sugar is all
dissolved, set the mixture away to
cool, and it will be the finest jelly
with the finest flavor.
