What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
decidedly favorable, and continue SO
until midnight. The signs indicate
that energy and perspicacity will be
prevalent, combined with optimism.
and self-contidence. This may lead to
eXaggeration, but. on the whole, the
influences will, exert n powerful aid
to all efforts along conservative lines.
Agreements or contracts can be safely
executed. Financial problems can be
solved. Mechanical difficulties can be
overcome. Disorder can be adjusted.
The auspices are excellent, except for
speculative or hazardous risks. A
marriage solemnized promises results
Of a happy enduring nature.
Children born tomorrow will have
their ups and downs" from health
standpoint. although more trouble is
to be anticipated from accident than
from ordinary illness. In tempera-
ment, they will be adventurous and
daring, and will rarely, if ever, give
a thought to any danger that may be
involved. This characteristic will re-
main with them all through life, and
they will never hesitate to rush in
where angels fear to tread. They will
consider life a great game, and be
always willing to take a gamblers
chance. They will be very quick to
learn, and will not easily forget what
they learn, except the knowledge that
is gained by experience.
Ii tomorrow is your birthday. you
have an affable and n kindly nature,
and are very affectionate in your re-
lationShipS. You are poor judge OF
human nature, and are often imposed
upon, as you always attribute good
motives to one and all.
You possess unmiStakable "aplomb," :"
and are a fluent talker, as well as a
great reader. You are by no means
lacking in artistic appreciation. Your
originality Is justified by the clever
ness with which you put your ideas
into execution.
You are, in a word, talented You.
however, need some one all the time
to urge you toSdo your utmost, us YOU
weary rather soon of we'll doing. For
this reason you should marry, if you
are not already welded, and should
have for a mate one who is in SYM
pathy with your tasks, and who will
encourage the development of your
inherent ability.
Well known persons born on that
date: Myron II. Clark, Ex-Governor of
New York; John r. Thompson, poet
and journalist; Adlai T.. Stevenson.

SUB ROSA
Br MIMI.
T Promised Him Years Ago.
Br MIMI.

Oh these noble young things who
write TO me in great apprehenslon:
Years ago, before he went away to
try for Il better job, / promised him
I'd wait and be true to him. Now
he's coming back home and I'm sure
I don't know whether l still love him
or not. He intends to marry me, and
since ! promised him my love, can't
very well back out. But since then
my heart has gone out to some one
else, and if | marry my old sweet
heart it will be simply out of loyalty.
What shall / do"
What II hard life these writers must
lead, These girls who take life SO
seriously that they can't step aside
for a minute and, viewing themselves
in an impersonal light, have 81 good
laugh at their own follies, are doomed
to lind this existence pretty difficult.
Imagine a modern girl who feels
that a promise, given years ago, still
holds good in spite of the change in
both parties to the contract.
If A has promised to marry B in
the first flush of youthful enthusiasm,
and ten years later finds herself in
love with another man, the very idea
that she should stick to B. because
of childhood vows is preposterous.
When A made that promise she was
mature. better educated young woman
she is today. She can very definitely
tell + that the girl who promised to
marry him is gone forever. In her
stead is n typical modern girl, worldly,
sophisticated and capable of choosing
the man of her heart.
Then Il hasn't any kick coming at
all, for he must realize that if he is
to win this strange new \ he'll have
to begin all over again. He has no
right to hold her to the silly things
she said when she was younger
when neither of them had much
understanding Of life and people
when the chances of marriage were
remote enough to make VOWS and
promises easy.
What makes me most indignant
about these high-minded girls, who
are willing to sacrifice their happiness
and the happiness Of the men they
really love for the sake Of a barely
remembered VOW, is their utter lack
of common sense.
How does A know. when the long
lost hero returns, that he will find
in her the same sweet, ConEenial per
son he thought her years ago?
suppose B comes riding back to
town and discovers that A has turned
out TO be a total loss as far as he is
concerned? Then she looks pretty
silly. having dismissed the man she
really wanted to marry.
And do you suppose for a minute
that if b had found some nice-blue
eyed maiden who cooked we'll and
was willing to make him happy, he
would ever have thought Of A and
the sacred promise? Not much.
Men aren't as sentimental about
these things as we poor women are
They have d convenient habit of for
getting binding VOWS which become
irkSome.
So ii the former flame comes back
to town all ready for a stroll down
the aisle, just greet him frankly with
the news that his option has expired
and a new offer has been accepted

The fashion Of serving eggs in the

popular with those who hCve tried the

Egg Daisies.
Egg daisies can bloom all year and
are not subject to the ravages of
frost. The lunch or supper table is
where they are most at home. They
may appear in salad if preferred. The
addition of some dressing or sauce is
desirable, and it is according to the
character given it, whether the result
is salad or q hot dish. Hard-boiled
eggs are cut in half. This time the
yolks are left intact, forming the
center of the daisies. 1t Is the white

left Joined at the base, and laid back
to form the appearance of the daisy

". BURGESS

Il was just wondering how any one
could be eaten more than once" said
Ruddy.
Peter wobbled his vobbIy little nose
at Ruddy. You know what l meant, -
SAID he. You know that | meant
that there's been more than one time
when those little paths have saved
my life"
That's because you live in such a
tangle that YOU have to have little
paths through it in order to move
quickly Now l don't. If i had little
paths they would be likely TO lead
some enemy right straight to my
house" said Ruddy.
That reminds me" exclaimed Peter.
Where is your house? I've been Won
derinS about that for some time"
Again Ruddy chuckled that funny
little chuckle of his. "A lot of peopIe
have wondered about that very same
thing, and are still wondering" said
he IN afraid you'll have to wonder
with the rest of them unless YOU are
smart enough to find it, If YOU can

Hundred Million Colds Cost
Billion a Year.
Atlantic City. ~ J.-Dr Beaman
Douglas Of New York, in an address
before the closing session of the
thirty first annual convention of the
LaryngoloGical, Rhinological ana Ot0-
logical Society, said there were 100
600 900 colds Il year in the United
States, causing Il loss in time from
work of $1,000, 900. 600, at an average
Of three days each at s. u day.
IF we men" he declared were to
appear on the streets in Midwinter
wearing dancing slippers, silk hose.
trousers rolled to our knees and oTtr
shirts turned down to the apex Of our
breastbonc, we should most certainly
die of pneumonia, but the ladies Of
today dress that way and vet suffer
less from colds than men. This is be-
cause the women are out more and
become hardened"
Oh, well. one might say two on
three columns about it, hut should
one? Last Sunday / listened Tor per
haps half an hour, though it seemed
four hours, to a sermon, and ii Oc-
CURED to me then that it is q great
sin to waste precious opportunities
Estimating the grand total of time
that preacher used, at an average OF
90 cents an hour, there was 4 loss in
time from self-improvement of $4,000.
Static may have had something to do
with it, but il sounded more like
broken antennae or eXhauSter + bat
terry.
The doctor quoted in the item puts
it up to the other sex, and perhaps
some half-clad ladies or hardened
women may consent to throw some
light on the mystery.
If any such association as the doe
tor implies really exists, | should he

According to official statistics, males
| have always been more frequently
affected with pneumonia than females,
even in the old days when the weaker
sex carried a far greater amount of
clothing than the males did. The cX-
PLANTATION for this greater frequency
of pneumonia among men lies in the
circumstance that males have always
