What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Gemini.
Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
quite adverse, and fail to indicate the
benign influence that should be as
ISOLATED with the day of rest A NOR
bid feeling is liable to be sensed, ana
there will be present a temptation to
analyze situations too critically. or
tendency toward excessive introspec-
ton. Doubts will assail and disap-
pointments will prevail. Mountains
will be created out of moIehills. nnless
strong effort is made to establish
normal poise and to exercise self
control The conditions that rule on
a day of this nature, and which often
tend to give birth to disagreement and
acrimonious differences, can only be
overcome by the resolution and de-
termination of the individual to rise
superior to unfavorable influences.
A girl born tomorrow promises to
escape most of the vicissitudes OF
childhood and to materialize into a
healthy and wholesome maidenhood.
She win possess compelling and at
tractive personality, and, while not
unduly prim. or prudish. will never
become fiighty or fiirtatious. She will.
at very early age, take serious
view of life and he fully alive TO its
responsibilities, while jealous of Its
privileges boy, however, born on
this date will suffer much from Ill
ness during infancy. and, on attaining
normal physical conditions, will he
rather peevish in disposition. and too
much centered on himself to com
ma nd the loyal support OF friends. He
will be Industrious, and the prob
ability is that he will attain a large
measure of material success.
II tomorrow Is your birthday, your
disposition is both affable and amiable.
Your temper is very even, your i'm
pulses are kind and your motives are
generous. 1t takes great deal TO
arouse your anger. and then only with
justification. You. however. never
harbor resentment, and are impeiled
TO forgive.
You possess fair degree OF intel
ligence. and show steady application.
Your natural inclination Is toward

HOW TT STARTED
The "Bungalow." "
BY JEAN NEWTON.

In these days of high building costs
the bungalow or one-story styIe of
house has become very popular. So
common is it in seashore and subur.
ban life that we have come to think
OF the bungalow as quite an Amert
can institution. AS matter OF fact.
however, the bungalow Is an importa
ton from India, where we must 60 for
the origin OF its name.
Bungalow" Is derived from the Hin
du "banglo," which describes a spe
cies Of rural villa Of light construction
usually. in its native state, of unbaked
bricks with a thatched roof. Bunea-
lows in India, which are the resi-.
dences Of Europeans. are Of all sizes
and styles, some in the chief cities of
India being palatiaI residences. Their
most popular form. however. consists q
Of but one floor surrounded by a We
randa, which affords protection from
the sun. And it is this style of house
which of late years has come into
general use in our country. to which
the pride of Indian architecture has
bequeathed it's name. When we speak
of a california bungalow" the refer.
ence being to the predominance of
this style of building for homes in the
Golden Gate State, we mean really "a
house built in the style of Bengal,
India"

II know there is something of in
terest about your work with everlast-
ing flowers. Mr. Burbank. and 1t
might well be told now l suggested.
"A number of years ago / turned
INV attention to the Improvement of
these flowers. and commenced my ex-
neriments with the rhodanthe, dou-
BILE variety
..To what family group do they be-
long," | asked.
Most of them are composites, ana
thew are generally ANIMALS, although
MANY of them become perennials IN
California and bloom throughout the
wear. They are of many colors-
shades of red. yellow and blue, and
they have the happy quality OF re-
tanning their form and color when
dried. IL cut with long stems Just be-
fore opening fully and hung in
shaded place.
Although the rhoda nthe was sup
posed to be double. only small. pro-
portion of the seedlings were double,
and nv work consisted in making
them so and filling up the centers.
THE flowers varied greatly in color
and size. and proved good subjects for
selections, but the plants bore very
little seed, ana altnOuSn tne eApeii' i
ments have produced an improved
variety the new type has not become
entirely fixed.
"One of my collectors in Australia
sent me variety known as the Aus
tralian star flower, resembling the
rhodanthe. but much more beautiful
it's white star-sha ped flowers blooming
abundantly and excelling all the
others.
After / had grown it for few
years, it began to show tinge of
pink here and there. and by selection
the size of the blossoms was greatly
increased. making it semi-doubie and
improving the color, so that it be-
came a clear rosy pink.
These new varieties do not as yet
breed wholly true from seed, but they
are wonderful improvements in every
way on an already beautiful flower.
"These everlastings have unusual
keeping quality, and chemical
process has toughened the fibers and
given permanence to the colors of the
blossoms. So when the improved
varieties of the Australian star flower
became known. / was requested by a

Evening Primrose.

While the long, warm. sunny hours
of June day are rejoicing the flow
ers of meadow and wood, the evening
primrose hides it's eyes as il the sun
shine hurt them. Not till the sun is
low and the shadows lengthen on the
lawn and the thrush's cool song an
nounces that the days heat ix done,
does the evening primrose wake up.
1t prefers a night life and II likes to
ease gently into consciousness. Watch
it, about o'clock. just before ii opens

of petals. much like bud. And then,
before your very eyes, the flower ex.
pands. occupying 10 to Is minutes in
the process, opening in little slips
and jerks. which suggest that the
petals catch and have to be pried
loose by that mysterious inner pres
sure of the flower which no one
rightly understands.
Beside the big four petaled, golden
evening primroses, there are wild
in the District Of Columbia several
plants that look almost Identical with

ton, liz connected with the name Of
Darwin and the principles of bota NY;
but the evening primrose boasts rela :
tionship with the names of the two
other men. who have stood out most
prominently in the field of original
investigation in the study of evolu-
ton. For a primrose called Oenothera
Lamarkiana was named for Lamark,
a great Frenchman, whose theory Of
evolution was earlier than Darwin s
and about 1900 this plant became the
subject of a series of Investigations
by a Dutchman named De Vries,
whose concept of evolution was the
third landmark in the series that en-
braces the names and theories of
I.amark, Darwin and De Vries
I.amark believed that evolution
takes place by changes forced on ami
mails and plants by environment: Oar
win holds to the idea of natural Sc
lection and the survival of the fittest;
while De Vries from his observations
ON the sudden and startling changes
that took place in Lamark's evening
primrose believes that the changing
face of nature Is due to sudden inter.
nal alterations In the plants heredity.
1t is a curious fact that Lamark's 3
evening primrose. which was brought
to Holland from America centuries
ago, has now absolutely disappeared
from our country, and though sci
entists have searched diligently to
discover the wild type of the plant on
which De Vries bases his conclusions.
ii has never been found. A short way
to fame for anybody is to turn up
the original of this plant. 1t prob
ably came from the Middle Atlantic
States.

There is a fascination about fitting

It's own pleasures of decoration to the

Chinese Morris Chairs.
There are several ideas in the fur
niture that you may find interesting
because of their novelty. These do
not detract from their practical ap-
peal, but add an element of distinc-
ton. For instance. a curious name
for a chair is Chinese Morris chair -
Just why Morris should he associat ed
with the Chinese style of furniture is
not clearly apparent while it is easy
to understand why Chippendale' s
name should be connected historical
" with the Chinese influence in fur
niture. In the Chinese Morris chair
we find an adaptation of the Morris
chair developed in cane, wicker and
woven grass, but to this style of
chair is added footstool that slides
under the seat when not in use. This
is reminiscent of the Sleepy Hollow
chairs of the mid Victorian period
Taking the Chinese Morris chair
as a whole. it is unique, including the
desirable elements of a Morris chair
and a chaise lounge. 1t can take up
far less room than the latter without
impairing any element of comfort
The chair is the sort to appeal to
those who like style in furniture as
we'll as comfort, for the chair GER
tainly has a style of its own that is

These fitted backs are distinguish

considered as an indispensable piece
Of furniture on every porch where

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Errors
lost the world series for the
Washington Senators. And poor
old Peckinpaugh was the goat. |
was pulling for Washington, l
figured they had a smarter team,
better pitchers, and a better de-
tense. They proved their smart
ness, and they showed their
pitchers. But their defense went
to pieces, and it cost them the
series.
Looking back over the four
games the Senators lost I figure
that it was hobbies by Peck that
lost three of them. He lost the
second one when ne made a wild
throw on an easy grounder. He
lost the sixth when he failed to
touch second after fielding Carey's
easy bounder. And he lost the
final game when he dropped
Moore's easy pop up, ana later
bobbled Carey's easy bounder to re-
tire the side in the eighth.
There's no accounting for 1t. Be-
fore the series figured Peck would
be one Of the greatest performers
in the whole gang. And 1 still fig
ure he's one of the greatest short
stops l ever saw. But you can't
go back on the returns. The
Pirates won-and it was Peck who
lost the games.
The hero of the series, as ] see
it, was Walter johnson. Twice he
pitched winning games-g games that
the Senators won handily despite
errors. And he might have won
the final game had not Peck made
those errors. 1t was a tough break
for Barney. But those things just
happen. :.
And the Pirates have great ball
from behind like they did to win is
a great team. never saw two
better young players than Wright
and Traynor, either on offense or
defense. To my mind, though the
real star of Pittsburgh was Max
Carey. Max wasn't so sensational
as some of the others-but he was
always dependable, and it was
Carey who encouraged the young
sters and kept them from cracking
in those later games after the Sen
ators had piled up such big lead
A lot of National Leaguers fig
ured Max would be a bust in the
series. They said he would be
nervous and excited. If that boy
was nervous, so is the Washington
Monument. He just played base
ball-great baseball-every minute
and no man on the whole club de-
serves more credit for winning than
he does.
