 Fear that nearby buildings might he undermined prompted the police to prohibit all vehcular traffic be tween Sixth and Madison avenues and 10th and 18th streets.

HISTORY of Dour Rame
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NowLAN.
FROBISHER.
vARIaTION-Forb
RACIAL oRiGiN-EnsIish.
SnIJRCE-An occuDatiou.

With the tip that the family name
of Frobisher or Forbisher is based
upon an occupation, can you guess its
origin?
Probably not. And the reason is
because the word is all but obsolete,
and the exact occupation is obsolete
also, though there are great many
more or less akin TO 1t in the various
industries of modern time.
Occasionally, however. you will run
across the word "furbish." Probably
a majority of people cannot tell you
exactly what it means, even though
they have heard or more likely read
1t. 1t means to polish. The fur
bisher' or "forbisher'' of medieval
England was a ''polisher." And,
again, you have to conjure up a pic
ture of life in the Middle Ages to
realize what kept him so busy, what
it was that needed so much polishing
as to give rise to a regular occupa-
ton. Today he would probably polish
automobiles or put the fine gloss on
combs In the Middle Ages he was
kept busy polishing armor. He did
for the iron and steel clothing of the
knight, squire and man-at-arms what
the little tailor around the corner
does for the worsted and serge cloth
ing of the sales manager, bookkeeper
and clerk of today--for rust was just
as active in the Middle Ages as dust
is now.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Pisces.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects, al
though slightly adverse in the early
morning, are quite benign during the
rest of the day They do not, ap-
parently, favor any line of endeaVor
involving great activity, but they do
portend general atmosphere OF
restfulness and contentment OF mind.
These are all favorable factors on the
Sabbath and presage good results for
all religious observances and recre-
ationai pastimes. The vibrations, al
though not stimulative, are steady,
and clearly indicate a state of mind
provocative of pleasure and satisfac-
ton. They denote a. tendency to har-
mony and cooperation in the family
and in the home.
A child born tomorrow will, un-
fortunately, experience d great deal
of sickness during the infantile years.
1t will require. above all things, very
careful nutrition and wholesome en-
vironment Once this early stage is
successfully passed, there will be
nothing to arrest it's orderly physical
development. Its disposition will be
very bright and sunny. and, as it
grows older, II will have very
charming and attractive personality.
Its character will be unselfish and 1t
will be generous to a fault. An in
.elligent effort must be made III It's
youth to inculcate in it's mind the
l.Deneft of thrift, without teaching it
to become excessively frugal. 1t will
be quite devoted to all the members
of it's family, and loyal to those of its
friends who are worthy and worth
while
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
possess remarkable powers of intui-
ton, and your judgment is very
rarely in error. You are very eau
tious and conservative, but are more
Influenced in your actions by your
keen fntuitive perception than by or
binary mental processes. You show
your likes and dislikes very plainly,
and, although no one can accuse you
of either rudeness or dtscourtesy,
your inclinations are made palpably
evident. You are very loyal, not only
to your friends, but to your ideals,
and will never sacrifice a conviction
for the sake of either convenience or
advantage.
You are at your best in your home,
and are not only ideally contented
yourself, but make all those around
you happy, as. although you have
strong beliefs, you are never bigoted
or dogmatic, and allow to others the
same freedom of belief that you claim
for yourself.
Well known persons born on this
date are Oliver Wendell Holmes
United States Supreme Court; Warren
Upham, geologist; Albert Z. Sterner,
artist; Homer C. Davenport, cartoon
list, and w. Bramwell Booth, Saliva
tion Army general.

My Neighbor Says:

In washing new curtains,
soak them overnight in water
to which a handful of salt has
been added The salt draws
out the lime in the curtains and
makes the washing much
easier.
When polishing the stove
place paper bags on your hands
to keep them from getting
soiled.
in mending china, use white
paint, such as artists use In oil
paintings. Use as you would
glue, and let stand for three or
four days. Dishes thus mended
may be washed in hot water
with no danger of coming apart.
Place your old scraps of soap
in a mustard can, perforated at
side and top. Allow the can to
soak with the clothes for a few
minutes, and you will have a
thick, frothy lather.
To starch stiff shirts, take
half a teaspoonful of gum ara
bic dissolved in cupful of
boiling water and add to starch.
Roll the shirts up tight and
leave for an hour before IRON
ing.
To remove the top from
ginger ale bottle, place the top
under the metal handle on
pantry drawer, catch the top on
the edge of the handle and
press the bottle downward. The
top will come of easily.

BEDTIME STORIES B! BY a1seHsg HHSHsg0'

didn't know 1t, but he was. He want
ed to show Mrs. Plunger what a
splendid fisherman he was.
At last, just below the surface of
the Big River, Plunger saw a fish
that made his eyes CLEAN with eager
ness. It was a big fish. Never had
he tried to catch fish as big as this
one. For a moment he hesitated.
81 wonder II i can carry him way
back to the nest" thought Plunger.
Anyway. l can try. If he is too
heavy l can rest on the way back"
He waited a moment or two longer,
for he saw that that big fish was
coming nearer to the surface. At
last he was very close to the surface.
Plunger closed his great wings and
shot down straight for that fish. His
great claws were set to strike and
grasp. He struck the water and dis
appeared. But he disappeared only
for a moment. Then he came to the
surface and began to beat with those
great wings of his. Clutched in those
great claws of his was that big fish.
Plunger beat and beat and beat those
great wings, but the best he could do
was to get just above the water. He
couldn't lift that big fish wholly out
of the water. He did his best, but
that fish was too big and heavy.
Plunger screamed with disappoint-
ment. He knew that he couldn't t
take that fish up into the air and
carry him home. He knew that he
would have to let him go. With an
other scream of disappointment he
tried to let go of that big fish. I'M
agine how he felt when he discov-
cred that he couldn't let go! His
claws had been driven so deeply into
that fish that he couldn't pull them
out. He had been far, far too ambi-
tious, had Plunger the Osprey.

Decorative Spectacles.

Spectacle cases have been turned
into decorative accessories by some
of the clever dressmakers. One de-
signed has given us a. frock trimme d
only with leather pockets and a
matching leather spectacle case on a
silken cord worn over one shoulder,
the case hanging below the other
arm.
And here we have a clever Partisan
milliner who is making hats espe-
cially to suit the woman who wears
glasses. Since hats have fitted so
closely over the brow there has really
not been room enough for the rims
of the enormous tortoise shell rimm ed
glasses that many up-to-date women
choose. This miller makes hats with
brims f1aring a little to make room
for these rims. BY means of little
ostrich or other trimming, the hard
contour so apt to result from the
wearing of glasses is much relieved.
Another trick for the woman who
wears glasses is the fad for wearing
rims to your glasses to match your
frocks.

this may seem of small Importance,
but ii is not to be reckoned with
out due consideration. For instance,
an agent may come to the front door
just as you are in the midst of enter
tanning guests for tea, or perhaps
formal callers may be present. His
untimely and unwelcome call may
not even be known to them, for the
walls of the room shield views and
dull voices and there is no interrupt
tion.
Halls Are Draughty.
1t is easier to keep a house warm
in cold weather when the hall is not
one of the rooms but is definitely
hallway. StairWays are draughty and
front doors let in cold air in great
gusts when they are opened. The
cold air seeps through the crevices
about them somewhat even when they
are closed. In bitter cold weathe er
or when there is a high wind that is
merely chilly these draughts can be
kept out of rooms by shutting doors
leading TO the hall.
Reception Halls.
A reception hall, or one in which
the front door opens directly into
living room, presents an inviting ap-
pearanCe when one enters a home
There is apt to be an open fireplace
Chairs are in cozy groups. and you
have the immediate feeling that you
are on the very threshold of home
life. However, the advantages are
quite on the side of the visitor rather
than the homemaker. 1t is the lat
ter person who has the inconveniences
already intimated in the preceding
hints on formal halls. There is prac-
tically no secluGion when sitting in
living room or a reception hall
Some one perhaps a stranger, may
ring or be announced in person and
there is no possibility of disappearing
without speaking a word at least,
though he or she may be coming to
see some one else in the family and
not you at all.

Is a third. And, of course, there is
Little Joe Otter. A wonderful fisher
man is Little Joe Otter.
But even Little Joe otter is not
more wonderful as a fisherman than
is Plunger the Osprey. 1t is not for
nothing that he is called a Fish
Hawk. He does not patiently wait
like Longlegs the Heron. He goes
looking for fish. If he does not find
them in one place he goes to another.
Sometimes he flies for miles in search
of good fishing.
Now that he and Mrs. Plunger had
completed their new nest near the
edge of the Green Forest and not far
from Farmer Browns, they went fish
ing. I'VE should celebrate, my dear"
said Plunger to Mrs. Plunger. I'VE
should celebrate. l am going to catch
the biggest fish 1 can find
So flying high above the Big River
Plunger kept those wonderful eyes of
his fixed on the water below. From
ehat height he could look down right
INTO the water and see for some dis
tznce below the surface. No fish
Swimming near the surface could es-
Sape those wonderful eyes. He flew
Gar, far down the Big River. Several
times he checked himself in his flight
and hesitated as if about to plunge
downward. Each time he saw fish.
Each time he decided that the fish
was too far below the surface or was
not big enough for a proper celebra-
tion. He wanted the biggest fish he
could catch. You see, he was am
bilious.
Now ambition is a splendid thing.
Without it no one would get very far
in the Great World. But there is such
a thing as being too ambitious.
Plunger was toe ambitious now. He

may wear a. straw hat OF the exact
shade of the sport frocK-a pastel
blue straw TO go with a pastel blue
cashmere sport frock. The frock may
be trimmed with white pearl buttons,
in which case tire hat should have
tabs Of the cashmere, each one OF
which should be decorated with a
white button. Thus the hat and
frock are perfectly welded. and must
always appear in each others com
pdny.
Chanel, Molyneux, Patou and Ian
vim are mentioned among the dress
makers who are making hats to go
with their frocks, and the milliners
among them Agnes, are returning the
compliment by showing frocks to go
with their hats. Sometimes the
sweater, little coat, cape or scarf to
match the hat is considered enough
to unite the costume. There are little
red hats this Spring that give a bright
touch here and there to smart gather
ings. But the red hat is not worn
with a red frock. On the contrary,
the ensemble effect is achieved in the
case of so vivid hue by a touch of
red in the belt, handbag or a. bit Of
trimming on the frock. AT all events,
the day seems TO be past when the
well dressed woman could go through
an entire season with two or three
hats.
