in the glossy darkness Of her hair
and the violet Of her eyes, and the
firm clean cut lines Of her lips. Given
the proper clothes. and the atmos-
phere, and the environment, she could
be rare, charming. She was sure of
it. And how she would live. She
would enjoy every minute to it's full.
she would drink deep of life, and
never, never, would she allow herself
to get into a rut.
AT 1lbth street, she emerged from
the subway and walked west She was
eager TO reach the apartment. eager
to tell Madeline the news Madeline
would think her mad, would doubtless
stare at her in open-eyed amazement
Poor little Madeline, who was so hope.
lessly plain, but so generously warm
hearted; Madeline, with her plain little
tailored suits and common-sense shoes:
Madeline, who was always practical,
who never wanted to drink life to the
last drop, but who was content with a
small salary and the knowledge that
she was tramping along in her safe
little rut right on toward middle age.
Rosalind and Madeline shared an
apartment Of two rooms. a kitchenette
and bath. When Rosalind had first
come to the city, Madeline had worked
in the same office. and they had be-

Madeline was short. while Rosalind
was tall and slim. Madeline's kind,
dark eyes, so like those of a patient
dog, looked out from behind she'll

colored and stringy. her figure too
heavy. And from the first Madeline
had adored Rosalind, adored her for
her fiery tempers, her varied person

while she had adored her she had been
afraid of her. Rosalind was so impul-
sive, so quick to give in to whims. so
impatient. so headstrong. Madeline
was always afraid of what she might

NUMEROLOCY

Guiding Numbers.

While am on the subject might
as we'll admit that for seven years my
life was guided by a system Of num-
bers. I was born on the twenty fifth
Of the month. which means that be-
long to the Water Concord. Any one
born on the dates 1, 5. Z, 10. "A, Is, 49,.
%. 25 or % comes within the Water
Concord, and any Of these numbers
or, in fact. any number which when
reduced to its lowest digit comes to a
l or 5 or Z is good for him.
For instance, in those days when
an art editor asked me the price of a
sketch 1 would always pick number
which corresponded to my Concord.
l always used to take my drawings
under my arm and visit editors on my
own days and dressed in my own COL
ors, and no amount of ridicule from
my friends could stir me from this
program. OF course, we usually be-
lieve in the things that amuse or in
terest us, and perhaps this is the rea-
son why I am so sure that numbers
had an influence on my life.

CHAPTER II.
Madeline.

Somewhere Rosalind had read, "a
sirl who seeks adventure in a big city
Is always skating on thin ice"
on her way to the subway she kept
turning this aphorism. over in her
mind and wondering about it.
Perhaps she had done wrong in de-
riding so quickly. Perhaps it might
planned before taking this step. Per
haps she had been too precipitate.
But once in the subway hanging on
10 a strap, her body pressed on all
sides by the bodies of strangers she
forgot her feeling of panic in resent
Inent against existing circumstances.
IF I had waited. If I had stopped
to think about it,G'd never have done
IT." she told herself fiercely. After all
now was the logical time. She had
been paid that afternoon, and she had
saved n little money, enough to see
Ter through Tor a time. Her plans
were OF the Vaguest, but somewhere
an the back of her mind there fingered
the memory of some Of Dorothy's
words. Marriage! And not marriage
that meant shaving in a little apart
9nent, going to market, getting meals,
doing the housework. Oh, no. Mar
Tiage that would give her some of the
lovely things of life, marriage that
would enable her to seek out beauty.
that would give her the things she
had always craved.
BY the time she had reached Ninty-
sixth street and was changing into a
local, Rosalinds thoughts were soar
ing. She was feverish with excite
3nent.
Wasn't this rather a splendid thing
she was doing? And why should she
be afraid? Wasn't she young and
Etrong and-and-beautiful? Well she
might as well admit it, she was beau
Tiful. Not in the pert. conspicuous
way that Dorothy King was beautiful
but with something much more subtle

My Neighbor Says:

When cleaning out a fireplace
sprinkle tea leaves among the
ashes. They will prevent the
dust from flying about and Will
keep the room wonderfully
clean. This hint should be re-
membered for a sickroom.
If mixed with milk instead or
water, mustard will not get dry,
but will keep nice and fresh
until it is used up.
When a chimney catches fire
salt should at once be thrown
on the CRATE. Then a wet blan-
ket should be held across the
fireplace. The blanket stops
the draft and thus allows the
fire killing gases produced by
the salt to rise slowly and so
extinguish the burning SCOT.
The liquor from any canned
fruit may be made into a fruit
jelly. Served with whipped
cream it makes a nice dessert.
Chopped nuts stirred into jelly
as it begins to harden are a
worthwhile addition.
When making hot starch add
a level teaspoonful of dry
washing powder to a quart; this
helps to prevent the iron from
sticking.
Fill a dripping pan that will
about fit your gas oven with
beach sand, put it underneath
the first CRATE Of your oven. and
YOU will have no difficulty IN
browning your cake or biscuits
on top.

Fractured Ribs and Cracked Ideas
\ fracture is a break, though onl,

A fracture is a break, though only
a crack. .-.
Ribs are fractured either by a blow
or crushing violence or by compress
sion OF the chest. A big boy on his
nrst visit home from college Rugged
ms mother and broke two of her RIBS.
mat wasn't so bad; some boys break
their mothers hearts.
In a good many cases the victim
OF fractured rib or ribs takes several
Gays to decide his injury is severe
enough to warrant the advice Of the
doctor. 1t hurts. but not enough to
demand other than home measures.
AFTER a few days, however, the I'M
spnnted fracture sets up Inflammation
or the chest lining and Empowering
membrane. the pleura, and the pleu.
rlsy worries the victim.
AS a rule two or three adjacent
rlDS are broken by severe blow,
They can't become much displaced. as
fractured fragments do in other situa-
tons; the muscle and tendinous wrap
pings and bindings hold the fragments
too securely for that. But the sharp
ends OF the bones rub together on the
pleura with every move of the arm on
the injured side, with every breath
taken, and that isn't comfortable
thing at all. The irritation of the
when you have few broken ribs is
no fun at all, even though you are
anxious to get all the sympathy you
can.
In some cases of broken rib the vic
tim eXpectorates bloody sputum after
a day or two, from some injury to the
lung. In other cases there follows
soon after the injury an emphysema
or tho skin lair under the skim and
this sometimes spreads up the neck.
In short, a reasonable proportion Of
cases Of fractured rib present inter
esting features, as Holmes would re-
mark to Watson.
The remedy needed in rib fracture
Is rest, for any activity increases the
breathing movements and aggravates
the disability. Sit down Lie down.
Lie on the injured side, SO that most
or your breathing may be done with
the sound side of your chest. Carry
the arm of the injured side in a sling,
for any use of that arm, even the
slightest swinging or hanging from
the shoulders, stirs up the injury. A
very tight, wide bandage girdling the
lower chest, or better, the firm sup
port OF adhesive plaster strapping as
usually employed by the physician,
limits the movements Of the chest wall
in breathing. Often the physician
must administer anodynes to relieve
the pain in the first day or TIVE. II
the patient is splitting blood enough
to indicate hemorrhage into or Of the
lung, the administration of morphine
sufficient to slow the respiration may
be necessary, irrespective Of pain
Here is where the skill Of the doctor
counts much.
And that being about all there is
TO say on the subject. I may as well
use the remaining space to penetrate
the haze around the drug or dope"
phobia which not few ignorant folk
acquire from reading the trick 'litera-
ture" peddled by short cut healers of
various sects or cults in their effort
to attract patronage. One such faker

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Capricorn,

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
variable and difficult to define. In
the early part of the day they are
overcast and gloomy. After noon
they become benign and moderately
favorable and continue so until
dusk, when they become distinctly
unfavorable. In the morning there
will be sensed q feeling Of disappoint-
ment and dissatisfaction, whereas in
the evening there will be experienced
a desire to find fault and criticize.
Under such conditions it is not ad-
visable to attempt any change or
initiate any fresh enterprise. The
only suspicious time for new con-
structive effort is from noon until
dusk, and any venture, not savoring
of speculation or risk, commenced
then will be productive of ultimate
success.
A girl born tomorrow will, during
the infantile period, enjoy practical
immunity to all physical ills. In
her teens" however, she is liable
to experience at least one serious
illness. A boy. on the other hand,
Will be a weakling in infancy, but.
as time progresses, will outgrow all
his ailments and become an up
standing example of healthy boyhood.
Temperamentally, both boy and girl
will be entertaining, affectionate and
loyad. While not overaddicted to
study, they will acquire enough. learn
ing to get by" and will be proficient
In all outdoor sports and pastimes.
They will not reveal any outstanding
ability, but will possess the greatest
of all assets-common sense.
If tomorrow is your birthday you

You possess unerring insight and
keen Judgment and can do more on
your own initiative than when others

You are always willing to lend
helping hand to others and are not
self-opinionated, but generous in your
opinions, always being disposed to
give another the benefit of the doubt.
You are alert, cautious and self
confident, although by no means con.
ceited or vain. Your friends are
many, although no one is accepted
by you in this capacity until worth

You are capable Of a deep and an
abiding love, but it will never be
based on first impressions or exter-
nails. 1t will only be aroused by that
which is worth while.
