What TomorrowMeans to You
Cancer.
BY MARY BLAKE.


The planetary aspects of tomorrow
leave no room for doubt, as they do
today. They are distinctly favora BILE
and, as a result. there will be engen-
dered a contented and happy feeling in
keeping with the spirit of the. day. All
Sunday observances, recreations or di
versions will afford a pleaSurable
amount of enjoyment, and gatherings
either for religious or social purposes,
will be productive of good results
even more so than on ordinary occa-
sions. If, as the signs denote, there
should be experienced in the after.
noon a slight sense of irritation this
will be of such short duration that it
may, happily, pass almost unnoticed
A boy born tomorrow will be erratic
physically, and have many ups and
downs" during his early childhood
Regular nutrition and asSiduous care
will see him "over the top" His TEN
perament will be just as variable as
his physical condition. At times he
will be sunny and bright, at other
times ill-tempered and sulky. AS he
grows up TO manhood the good will
overcome the bad, and he will mate
rialize into a regular fellow" A girl
born tomorrow will he normally
healthy, and her disposition will be
generous, kindly and winsome. She
will, by her charm, attract many ad
mirers, and the one she finally accepts
as the one to accompany her through
life will give her that happiness that
she merits.

Hanging shelves are again in vogue.
They are put to more varied uses than
formerly, when they went under the
name Of book shelves, though they
were occasionally used to hold bric-a-
brac. The temperance Of the shelves
is partly u result of the renaissance of
mid-Nictorian decorations, and partly
because Dutch dresSers are so much in
evidence. These, as you know, have
the open shelves for china and glass
above the lower Sideboard section. The
shelves permit the display of wares
appropriate TO dining rooms, and also
afford a convenient space in which to
put articles that are in daily use, and
which are worthy of being constantly
in evidence.
It is quite possible to get much the
same effect of the Dutch dresser top
by using hanging shelves alone. Or,
If used in combination with a chest of
drawers. a console table or buffet, to
have the decorative semblance of the
Dutch dresser in it's entirety. The
shelves should not he crowded with
articles. but have them arranged with
view 10 their ornamental value.
Conserve Space.
The vogue of these wall shelves can
he put to admirable use by home deco
ratOrs. especially those who have to
make the most of space in their rooms.
This is what almost all families who
live in apartments are obliged to do.
besides all those who dwell in small
houses. An opportunity is also given
home kers who have such shelves
laid away in attiCs or storerOoms to
bring them out, hang them correctly
and be in the fashion without spending
any money. There are few to whom
this will not make a stronE appeal
Hanging shelves may be used for
books and give a Cozy atmosphere to

Usually the most trying part of the
long, scrawny neck is at the back.
This spot can be the most charming

almost any daytime frock by adding
to it a crisp organdie collar that rolls
up quite high at the back and opens
to a V or square line in front. Many
of the smart dressmakers are adding

cuse for any woman to display an
unattractive or age-betraying neck
line. Even with evening dress it is
possible to float airyetulle about ones
neck so that its outlines are not too
vividly disclosed.
Almost any scarf may be worn close
about the neck, and there is an in
finite variety in the way that scarf
may be tied. Some of the new French
scarfs are made with a definite collar
piece which fastenS round the neck
like a collar with the ends falling at
back or over shoulders. The sketch
shows smart neckpiece composed of
satin ribbon with end at back, while a
long jabot of pleated georgette hangs
at one side. A simpler scarf that you
might make for yourself is made from
a long scarf section of crepe de chino,

SOURCE-A locality.
Here is a family name which is de-
rived from a place name, which in it's
turn is derived from given name.
The ending worth" is sufficient to
tell you that it is a place name, for it
is a word which has been compounded
into so many English family names.
and one which, though now not in
general use, is not SO completely OBJ
solete as to be entirely forgotten.
In the speech of the early Anglo
Saxons a worth denoted any "warded"
space; that is, any land that was not
open to the public, that was guarded
or fenced off in any manner. Later it
came to mean a farmstead, and it was
this latter meaning that was most
generally attributed to it at the period
Of family name formation.
There is today a locality in Cam
bridge known as Ellsworth. Originally
this was "Ellis' Worth" or the farm
stead of Ellis. And Ellis as well as
such forms as "Elys," 'Elice," Hell
yas," etc, were simply English and
Norman variations of the period, of
the given name of Elijah or Elias.

Modernized Use.
| Since bric-a -brac is no longer in
style, at least not under such a name,
| the hanging shelves may not be used
as ''whatnots" Nevertheless, one of
their functions today is TO hold treas
ured pieces of varied kinds. So IT
would seem to be more a difference in
| terms than in actual usage between
| the mid-Nictorian period and today
| But all recurrent modes have modern
| lied elements, and this is no exception.
| We may, therefore, use hanging
| shelves to hold choice ornaments of
no practical value, provided they are
actually decorative. 1t is mistake
to have souvenirs and keepsakes that
we cherish put on display unless they
| are worth while. They mean nothing
to guests, and usually seem like a
! hodge podge.
Fasten Securely.
It is important to have hanging
shelves fastened very securely to
walls. They should not be suspended
from picture holdings merely. This
allows them to sway in a draught or
when touched and the things on them
are jeopardized. Mirror fastenings are
excellent. They should be screwed
into joists or beams and not into laths
