Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
quescent until noon. when they be-
come overcast. Indicating adverse
conditions If you should feel any
urge to do anything OF constructive
character that is out of the ordinary
routine of your life. the only time to
do il is in the morning. If. choosing
this time. you. go at it with vim and
earnestness, the prospects are that
your plans. if not either speculative
or hazardous, will be successful. In
the afternoon the signs denote that
YOU will feel irritated and distraught,
which will be reflected in your actions.
unless you courageously resolve not
to be influenced by such conditions.
Children born tomorrow are de-
stined. according to the signs, to sur
fer from many ailments in their early
years None of them, however. Will
prove to be serious in their conse-
quences, If proper nutrition he given
and healthy environment provided.
Once the infantile period is passed
successfully they will attain normal
ma iority Temperamentally. a boy
will be boisterous while a girl will be
bashful and reticent. They Will both
be endowed with good spirits and
clean minds. The boy will he none
too studious, and more devoted to
sports than to learning. The girl Will
possess an ambition to acquire knowl-
edge and will be willing to sacrifice
many pleasures. usually so dear to
girl. to realize her desires.
If tomorrow is your birthday, your
energy is unbounded. your cOmpe-
tence is unquestioned, and you pos
sess great mechanic as we'll as ex-
ecutive ability. You. on starting any
new enterprise. or undertaking any
work of an important character, be-
come very enthusiastic and have the
happy gift of being able to commune
cate your enthusiasm to all others
that may be associated with you. You
never attempt anything in a half
hearted way. and. whether the task
he light or heavy, you always give it
the best that is in "'o11.
Some of your efforts have, unfor-
tunately, been valuelesS, and this has
often been caused by the fact that you
allow your enthusiasm to dominate
your Judgment Even when every
one else can tell that a project is
doomed to failure. you stick at 1t
owing to your tenacity Of purpose.
Your home life. especially if you
married young. should be full of hap

Does Every One Like Her?

Stella was introduced to me some
months ago by an old friend, who
alleged that S. was the sweetest, most
enchanting person in the world.
Every one likes her." my friend
told me enthusiastically. ''She hasn't
an enemy in the world-and she's too
charming for words"
So | took Marjorie, the child beauty
and wit. along with me when we went
to meet the famous Stella, just to
teach Mari how delightful an older
woman can Ee.
And the woman whom every one
liked certainly was delightful that
afternoon.
You dear child" she cooed at
Mari, you're exactly the sort of per
son | like to know. | do hope we're
going to be friends. None of my
friends. though. are half as pretty as
you, so I'm afraid some of them will
be rather jealous
Mari decided then and there that
Stella was the worlds most intelli-
gent. most delightful woman.
Our hostess went out of her way
to say pretty things to all the other
women present and they beamed and
preened their feathers and Elowingly
sushed back at her.
AS we were leaving, S. took Mar
jorie and me aside and whispered to
my young friend: Il don't want YOU
to think that I'm just a silly. gushing
woman. but truly you are one of the
most attractive, most Smartly dressed
girls who have ever been to my house.
And l do want you to come again
Mari assured her with fervor that
wild horses would not keep her from
so charming a hostess, and we left
in great good humor.

thrilled because an older woman had
taken such favorable notice of her,
and nobody could blame the child.
However. a few days later, at "A
matinee. we met Vera, aged %. who
Immediately told us that she'd just
met Stella and that the older woman
had been more than kind to her.
DO you know" Vera fairly SIM
pered. "she said the incest things to
me. Said | was so pretty that she
was afraid most of her friends would
be jealous of me. but she wanted to
be my friend awfully." Vera is no
shy. retiring violet)
AT this Mari stiffened and began to
compare notes very exactly with the
complacent Vera. Yes. Stella had
made practically the same charming
speech to Vera upon her leaving as
had attended Marj's farewell.
And as the weeks passed nE ana the
woman whom every one liked met
more and more girls of the same
crowd, there grew to be perfect
club of sweet young things who could
recite Stellas speech by heart. So
that in time the feeling that this
charming flatterer was the most de-
lightful woman in the world changed
to one of extreme distruSt.
For none of us feel we can trust the
person who used stereotyped speech
for all of us-not matter how pleas
art it may be.
You will find if YOU try to win
friends by excessive fattery that
you1l end by creating more suspicion
and distrust than anything else.

In going further into the details of

will mix better than when the liquid

a tendency to form wee balls or Jumps
and the liquid dispels them.
Beating.
Cake should be beaten vigorously
and as long as the arm feels equal to

should be blended by folding in, not by

SAVER
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Seger, Segar,
Sagar, SaerS.
RACIAL ORIGIN-EngIish.
SOURCE-A given name.

Here again is a family name which
looks as though it might have been
derived from some sort of occupation.
But, like that of Seward, however, it
comes from given name; in fact,
from given name with almost the
same meaning as that from which the
family name of Seward took it's rise.
"Sigur," Sugar" and "Saher" were
quite usual spellings of this given
name in the Middle Ages. The use of
the "h' instead of the "g'' was a
normal pathological development. and
you must remember that in the Middle
Ages, when the Teutonic languages
were all Of them nearer their primi-
tive forms, the Oh" was often more
than a mere aspirate breathing. 1t
was something of a gutteral as we'll
The form "Saher," from which the
family names in this group without
the "g" have developed, shows signs
of the French influence in the speech
of the Teutonic Normans.
The other two were given names
made popular in the days prior to the
Norman conquest of England, and
which persisted for some time after
ward alongside the form "Saher."
AS a given name it meant simply
"the victorious one" and in it's earli-
est use as a surname it indicated that
a mans father bore it.

The Normal Mind.

human beings existence begins
| as a microscopically infinitesimal cell,
though this original cell. the ovum, is
perhaps the largest cell in the parents s
body. The original cell multiplies sew
eral millionfold and the aggregate of
cells which constitute the body will
weigh, by the time Of birth, six to
eight pounds. The specialized cells
which form the brain make up nearly
one-eighth of the weight of the infant
at birth, and the brain is One-third as
large as it will ultimately grow: where
as the infants body is only one-twen-
tieth as large as it will ultimately be-
come. The brain, in the first year of
the infants life, will double or treble
in size, while the body as a whole will
grow $50 per cent, the average weight
Of infants one year old being 20
pounds.
In other words. the normal kid is a
brainy cuss. with no particular refer
ence to his dad.
OF course, we assume that the brain
really has little to do with mental ca
pacity. Lots Of half-wits have liter
ally more brains than you or l have.
anyway more than you have. and not
a few persons with extraordinarily
fine mental endowment take a Ga hat.
So we can't gauge a mans intellect
by the tonnage or displacement of his
head. The 10 ounces of brains de-
livered with every baby are of prac-
tically no use at all to him when he
first arrives. but nature is forehanded.

The best of everything must be put

that does not include extras such as
raisinS. cocoanut. spices. nuts, etc. for
flavor. Cakes that have these things
in them may have butter substitutes
used with perfect satisfaction. Layer

of ingredients. The richness or the
tastiness of the filling provides the
desired flavor Chocolate cake can be
