What TomorrowMeans to You
Gemini.
By MARY BLAKE.

The adverse planetary aspects
have vanished, and are replaced to-
morrow by conditions both benign
| and favorable. They do not counsel.
| however, the initiation of any new
enterprise. but rather presage sue
cess for efforts along well-tried lines,
and persistency in something already
ATTEMPTED. They will foster and pro-
mote feelings of harmony and good
| fellowship. and if you feel personal
resentment toward any one there
Will be tendency to forgive and
forget and this policy should be
| followed. In the evening the signs
are particularly suspicious for social
or family amenities, and the prevail
| ing conditions will engender a sense
| of contentment and tranquility.
The child born tomorrow is, ac-
| cording to the signs. fated to be not
only healthy, but successful. 1t will
| not suffer from any serious illness
either in infancy or childhood and
WILL at the same time, display those
qualities of intelligence and ability
| that, later on in life. will insure for
| 1t material development. Its tenn
permanent will be tractable. but it's
character will be masterful dominat-
ing and sufficient. 1t will pos
sess both quick and good judgment.
have una ba ting perseverance, and by
VIII power accomplish those things
that would be impossible To one of a
weaker makeup"
If you were born on May 80. the
general analysis of your character is
dIctatorial, quick to anger. but al
ways faithful and IuiXotically loyal.
| You make = great error in lima ginning
| that all people can he driven, and
! could attain much greater success if
you were willing To lead 1t would
also be well for YOU to remember
| that, with many people. an ounce
! OF kindly encoura cement is worth
| more than ton of fault t-finding and
criticism, and you would lose none
! of your prestige by being little less
aSSertive.
| You are very easily aroused to
+! anger. and YOU. apparently, forget
] that the one who loses temper is Sc
riously and severely handicapped 1t
| does not do much good to regret
afterwards. Once the action has been
taken and the words spoken, the ef-
feet remains, and, while il is easy
to forgive, ii is harder TO forget.

Peonies and Columbines.

1--WE have not had the pleasure of
| planting peonies in our garden this
Spring" / said, but they are bloom
| ing now and are calling for attention
and comment"
/ They should well be in every gar
den,' said Mr.. Burbank, large or
small and the number limited only by
the size of the garden. for this noble
| flower vies with the rose in beauty
and perfection
There are so many to choose from
how is the beginner to know?" /
asked
Study the catalogues, visit the
gardens and nurseries while peonies
are in bloom; talk about them to kin
dred spirits, and then buy to the linn
its of your purse and your garden"
First tell me how, to plant them
properly, please"
They should be planted in Sep
| tember," said Mr. Burbank 80 that
Winter. The bed may have partial
shade, and the soil must he well
drained, deeply shaded and well fer
tilted.
The roots are planted so that the
eyes at the top are two or three inches
below the surface, according to the
soil, hence the need of deep prepara-
| ton or the ground.
| How far apart should they be
| planted?' | asked.
About two and a half or three feet,
sometimes more if space permits.
Mulch them during the Winter with
straw or leaves but not manure; in
the Spring, remove the covering, cul-
tiyate and fertiliZe, preferably with
bone meal and wood ashes. or COM
| mercial fertilizer, and then look out
for May BEETLES, rose bugs and ants" I"
How soon do the new plants
bloom?''
MANY peonies do not bloom the
| first year or two after planting, for
the roots may not have become set
| tied, or if planted too deep or in the
wrong location, they will not bloom.
The soil may be old and full of germs,
or there may be too much shade, so
| you see there are many things TO
consider. and when once planted and
blooming they should not be moved
for long time until too crowded"
In this next bed are early colum-
| bines, blooming already, and they are
surely dainty attendants at peony
time | said.
| These are plants from seed sown
last year and our seedlings Jown
lately ought to be ready now for trans
planting. They may be planted in
their perma nent quarters about u
| to Is inches apart, in partial shade, al
though they thrive in sunny places
Now please tell me something Of
your experiments with columbines,
Mr.. Burbank ~
THE columbine is a most interest
| ing plant for experiment. he said,
| ION account of the great color varia-
| ton, the tendency to become double
and the long graceful spurs or wells

of honey which vary in the different
species, but which are absent in one
variety.
"Columbines are hybridized by bees
and many varieties are produced in
this way. so that if the -xperimenter
is working with -pollenizing onIv,
the plants must be shielded from the
bees.
II have produced some curious va
rieties by crossing the columbine
which is without spurs |ith the great
blue columbine (Aquilegia coerulea).
The hybrids We're extremely large and
fiat and reSembled a clematis blossom

40 or so species and varieties of col
umbines viii furnish suitable field
for unusually interesting experiments,
and this plant is specially recon

Prune Whip.

This is a well known dish and with
q little planning the accompaniments
to be used will perform double duty.
For example, when creamed eggs are
served with macaroni in this menu
the major part of the creamed eggs
may be made up of yolks, reserving
the whites for the prune whip. Incl
dentally, the yolks are the most val
liable from the standpoint of food
value, and the more indigestible
whites are distinctly improved by
whipping and combining With fruit

CREAM OF SPINACH

To use leftover spinach. make
cream soup, which is very pala-

scald milk with small onion nj

point, but being careful not to
scorch it. Salt and pepper as
seasoning. If the spinach has
not been pulped. run it through
a sieve and add to the milk, first
removing the onion. The milk
stock may be thickened, as in
making a thin white sauce. and
will be richer II egg yolk is
stirred in before the spinach is
added. and the cayenne and nut

tinue on the same losing basis In
most instances these accounts are
for household expenses, from per

small business, and are usually far
more active in proportion to :heir

Many of these same points were

some Washington bankers who
have analysed their business with
accurate estimation Of the small

also, the good viii and the adver-
Using value OF large number OF
accounts carried. it is increasingly
evident that the banker must focus
his attention with as much thought
upon the quality and the earning
power Of the accounts carried as
he gives to the number Of accounts
carried.
To the public it may be q sur
prise to learn that any account IL
carried by bank at a loss, but
the number Of such unprofitabls
accounts would surprise the aver
age depositor il he could get
look at the books Of his bank.
Fortunately the vast majority Of
bank customers are. as stated by
Mr.. White, 'just average. fair
minded human beings. not seeking
charity and willing to pay fair
price for whatever they receive
from their bank or their merchant.
Naturally they. do not know that
their accounts are improbable.
And Mr.. White further finds that
when the attention Of a depositor
is called to the fact that his &C.
count is carried at a loss to tho
bank there is no objection upon
the part OF the customer for a
service charge unless he is able to
increase his deposit to a point
where his business can be handled
by the bank at a reasonable profit.
Expressions Of opinion gathered
today from bankers. business men
and many others who make use
Of the banking facilities OF the Dis
trict of Columbia were to the ef.
feet that a service charge by the
banks is legitimate and justifiable
in consideration OF the convenience
Of the service and the cost Of its
maintenance.
