BEAUTY CHATS

Do your hats fit your head? Don't

than half the hats sold fit the wear

The soft felts so popular this season
have the great advantage of adapting
themselves to the head thus sparing
headaches and reducing the strain on
the hair. A badly fitting hat is very
hard on the hair. A hot or a heavy
hat should never he worn. OF course
You know that. But the new felts are
light, soft. stretchable. and not heat
ing. Let lis hope they continue being
smart for some time.
A hat even the least bit TOO tight
stops the free circulation of blood
through the scalp. damaging the hair
and giving a strained expression to
the wearer's face, even when it doesn I
cause bad heada che. a loose hat.
though padded ever so thickly with
inside bands looks badly because its
crown is so much. thicker than the
make pretty line around the face.
Don't buy hats that don't fit; however
pretty as hats, they'll not suit YOU
when you wear them.
If possible, buy hats stiffened wit h
canvas rather than wire. for these will
adapt themselves to the oddities of
your head like a felt. The wire must
always keep its own shape AS skulls
are never alike. and have Jumps and
dents in all sorts of different places,

then: that dog was too near. But the
instant he felt that little spear Bobby
remembered that he had seen Pricklv
Porky in the very tree under which
he had stepped on that little spear
To he sure. il had been the day be-
fore. But Bobby knew that Prickly
Porky sometimes spends several days
IN a tree, having plenty to eat and
seeing no rea son why he should move
on. 1t was too dark to see if he was
still up there. but Bobby decided to
take a chance. So without pausing a
second he scrambled up that tree.
Out on branch half way up the
tree he saw Prickly Porky and a little
sigh of relief escaped from Bobby.
But he didn't even speak to Prickly
Porky. Instead he kept right on up
that tree until he was near the top.
There he fiattened himself against the
trunk and waited
How that dog did bark at the foot
of the tree, He barked as if he were
trying to bark his head off. What
he was trying to do was to tell those
hunters that he had driven Bobby
Coon up tree. Bobby, looking down,
saw the light come bobbing along be-
tween the trees and heard the hunters
calling eXcitedly to one another. Pres

around that tree. one of them pointed

they were looking for him.
There he is cried one of the
hunters. He is out on that branch
about half way up. Don't shoot him,
III climb up and shake him off and
we'll let the dog kill him. He can't
get away from us possibly.
To this the others agreed and the
hunter started up the tree. When
he reached the branch on which

feeble light from the flashlight be-
low. 1t didn't enter that mans head
that it could be anybody but Bobby
Coon, SO he didn't look as sharply
a he might have. He began to shake
that branch trying to shake Bobby
Coon off. That is. he supposed it was
Bobby Coon he was trying to shake
off. But this wasn't so easily done.
The man stood up on that branch
and holding to a branch above began
Jumping up and down. There was
a sudden sharp crack and down went
that branch with Prickly Porky.
The hunter in the tree yelled as he
clung to the branch above and swung
his legs around the trunk of the tree.
The hunters down below yelled as they
saw what they supposed was Bobby
Coon falling from that tree. But
their yells were nothing to the yells
of that dog a moment later as he
spranS in and bit at Pricky Porky
OF course he got a mounthful of those
little spears, and they hurt They
were in his tongue, his checks and
his lips. No wonder he yelled He
backed away as hastily as he could,
all the time yelping and crying His
master tried to get hold of him and
got too near Prickly Porky. Like a
ildSH the ldlleT Tall came around,
and there was another YELL this time
from the dogs master.
For the next fifteen minutes or so
there was a busy time and a lot of
yelping and eXclamations as those
little spears were pulled out of that
dog and his master, one of the hunters
holding the f1ashlight while the others
worked. You see, they knew that
the sooner they were pulled out the
better it would be for the victims.
If left they would keep working in
farther and farther. Meanwhile
Prickly Porky had climbed another
tree and disappeared. AS for Bobby
Coon. he had climbed across TO an
other free along branches which met,
and then down that tree and taken
to his heels. He was safe for that
night. As it turned out he was safe
for the rest of that season. for that
dog wasn't in condition to hunt again
until after Bobby Coon had curled up
for the Winter.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

tomorrow planetary aspects are
distinctly adverse until noon. when
they change and become Favorable in
creaSing in auSpiCious intensity for the
remaindtv' of the day. In the morn
ing there will be sensed an air of un-
rest and diSquietude. Routine work
only should occupy your attention.
Later on, and especially after pm.
new and original work can be taken
up. 1t is also a good opportunity for
travel or change. The promptings of
affection will be felt in the evening.
and full advantage should be taken of
these conditions by those in love. as
an engagement entered into will be
full Of happiness and contentmenI.
Children born tomorrow will. ac-
cording to their sex. vary very much
in their physical condition. The girl
whose appearance will demand ad.
miration, will, in her infancy, be sub
ject to continual ailments. and only
very correct alimentation will enable
her to attain later on physical nor
malcy. The boy. although his appear
ance during infancy will give rise to
many misgivings, will have that
'wiryness' of constitution that rises
superior TO all attacks. In disposition
they will be similar They will both
be temperamentally attractive and
have delightful personalities. They
will be addicted TO study, while not
neglecting the pastimes of childhood,
and will be more than ordinarily ambi-
tiOus.
IL tomorrow is your birthday. YOU
are accurate. just and conscientious.
You have very high sense of the
responsibilities of life. and in your
own unaffected way try your utmost
to live up to the standard YOU have
set for yourself. Notwithstanding z
this. you never preach to or criticize
others, but are breezy and entertain
ing, with genial wit. and are a gen.
eral favorite.
You never act on impulse. but de
Eberate carefully before saying or do
ing anything, and are reliable. Steady
persistency is one of your character
istics, and you generally accomplish
that which you set out to do. Your
ambitions, however, are more along
the lines of happiness than those of
materialiStic victories.
Your tastes are cultured and refined
while your ideals are high and worthy
Of emulation, and, in addition to this
the signs denote that you have decided
