What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Sagittarius.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects. al
though not displaying any actively
favorable conditions, reveal a quies-
cent influence that is exceptionally
propitious for all obServanceS and rec
reations of a Sunday. They denote a
spirit Of contentment and a feeling of
self-satisfaction. During the after
noon, but for only a brief space of
time, there will be sensed a transitory
mood of grouchiness. This. however,
need not cause any disagreement, if
you maintain poise, and do not stress
the Importance of your own feelings.
Children born tomorrow will be nor
mally healthy. Care should, how
ever, be taken In their teens that they
do not overtaX their strength, or take
foolish chances, as the signs denote
that accident alone can interfere with
their regular physical development. In
nature and disposition they will be
very sensitive, and will resent, with
all the vehemence of their little minds,
any act of injustice or sign of favor
itism. They will also be Self-conscious,
and this will make them rather timid
and retiring. In order to counteract
this tendency, they should be COM
PEELED to associate freely with play
mates of an age similar to their own.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
possess a Griselda-like patience, and
constancy and truthfulness are your
most outstanding characteristics. You
have, of course, a degree of self-con-
fldence that is merited by your own
sterling worth, and though never bla-
tant, and always forbearing, are never
disposed to take lower seat than
that to which you are entitled. You
are able to accomplish a great DEAL as
there Is nothing slap-dash about your
work. On the contrary, you are thor
ough and extremely methodical. You
are never satisfied with superflciality,
but go to the bottom Of things, and
never attempt any task until you are
satisfied that you are equipped to do
50 You then go straight ahead, and
often succeed in accomplishing what
others, apparently more brilliant. have
failed in doing.
You are both punctual and punctili
Gus, and are very careful of your per
sonal appearance. Your tastes are do
mestic, although you have many in
terests outside of your own home. You
are affectionate, but not demonstrative.
Well known persons born that date
are: John Wood, soldier and politician:
Samuel J. Kirkwood, statesman; Cal
vert Vaux, landscape architect: Ro-
meyn B. Ayres. soldier: Arthur H
Wellington, engineer; Cyrus Townsend
Brady, author.

Why Must You Choose.

| Marjorie writes in great agitation
| that she has been very keen about
the same boy for a year-has seen
him very often and has always liked
being with him more than with any
| one else. But now, she conf1des, she
has met another youth-older, wiser,
| more sophisticated-who attracts her
| awfully. He seems to think she's
pretty nice, too. and would like to rush
her about bit.
But she still likes her first play
| mate very much and she hates to
| see him go out of her life forever.
Which shall she choose? Which man
| must she give up?
The answer is neither" There is
| no earthly reason why she shouldn't
have a darn good time with both of
them.
Nowhere in her letter does she
state that either of the SWANS has
made any arrangements about a we'd
ding-and, in fact, she sounds much
too young to worry about permanent
intentions.
What is this passion for select
ing one steady" pinning all your
faith and hopes on him-missing all
several people-and then perhaps
getting the well-known air when it's
too late to start collecting other ad-
mirers.
If girl is unfortunate enough to
get fond of a man who insists on
her seeing no one else but himself
though he is in no position to con-
slider marriage-there is some excuse
for her cutting out all other men.
But in the majority Of cases. men
aren't so selfish. They realize, If they
have any sense. that no Wideawake
girl is going to isolate herself from all
other male companionShip for the
sake of a boy who isn't sure he wants
to marry her. And SO they're apt to
be broadminded about her other dates
and good times.
It's the girl who conceives the bril-
liant idea of making one boy her
steady" She feels that he'll under
stand how greatly she cares. when he
sees her cutting out all her other
admirers.
If another man comes along. who
looks rather attractive, she sternly
puts him out of her mind-or else
has tremendous upheavel tells the
first man that all is over, and elects
the new candidate as her regular"
Which IS all quite unnecessary-
good deal of conversation about the
future-has made rash promises and
vows
If she's just had the ordinary boy
and girl Crush there is no need
for great remuneration scene when
another chap attracts her away
She can perfectly well remain
friends with the first crush-she
needn't Immediately begin planning
for a wedding march with the new
love.
In other words. girls, while you're
young you mustn't take all your
heart-throbs as serious Indication of
lifelong devotions.
If two men ask you to marry them,
then you've got to choose between
them. If they simply make pretty
speeches at you and sigh deeply and
effectively, then there's no need for
YOU to come to any decision about
either of them for years. Wait until
you're asked before you start choos-
ing.
Mimi will BE glad TO answer any inquiries
directed to this paper provided stamped.

CHAPTER LIN.
Another Dinner Party.

A year later, Mrs. Dean Sage Hamp-
ton, nee Mrs. Churchill, nee Miss Fay
Carson. was entertaining at her home
in Shadow Valley.
The long oblonG table. Elittering
with silver and crystal and bright
with flowers, was set for u, but aside
from Dean and Fay there was but
one familiar face present, that OF Mr..
Martin of the publishing firm of Mar
tin & Scott
Fay wore white. a simple. clinging
wisp of a frock that made, her seem
more than ever slender. The dress
was sleeveless, but the neck was cut
close to her white, girlish throat with
a line so severe that on any one but
Fay it would have been highly unbe-
coming. Above the severity of the
neck line young Mrs. Hampton's head,
with its crown of amber hair, was
lifted proudly. But beneath her
straight, golden brows her amber eyes
were sparkling, and she was handling
her guests with all the finesSe of d
woman of the world.
On her left was the vice president
of a we'll known railroad. He seemed
vastly entertained by her delicate

Wash one cupful Of rice. Cook two
cupfuls Of tomato juice and pulp until
tender, and press them through a
vegetable sieve. Place all the ingred-
tents in the casserole, having five
slices of uncooked bacon on top. Add
one cupful Of boiling water, two tea
spoonfuls of salt and a little cayenne
pepper. Cook, covered, in a slow oven
until the rice Is done, then remove the

The Cruel Landlady.

To forget the loaf and lose the
money was a double misfortune, and
Cosette burst into tears.
What! Have you lost the money!"
cried the woman angrily. "Or per
haps you have stolen it," she added
cruelty.
Mono, have not stolen It," in
sisted Cosette through her sobs.
But the landlady did not believe
what she said and might have beaten
her had not the stranger taken a
coin from his pocket and. concealing
it in his hand, said, II saw a coin on
the floor-it must have fallen from
her pocket"
Then he searched about the floor
and bringing up the coin in his hand
gave 1t to the landlady.
This dress belongs to the blonde
stepsister. 1t is of bright green with
a tan collar. The dolls hair is vel
low and her dress pale pink.
