and that this Fox wore a gray coat
instead of red coat. g.
Now Mrs. Reddy is quite as smart
as Reddy himself and Reddy is one of
the smartest of all the little people in
the Green Forest and on the Green
Meadows. 1t seemed as if any one so
smart ought to be able to find that
stranger, but somehow Mrs. Reddy
continually missed him. Time and
again she found where he had been,
but she was always just too late. Still
she persisted. You see, Reddy still
insisted that it was all true about the
stranger climbing a tree.
At last one day Mrs. Reddy found
the strangers trail and the scent was
so strong that she knew he had passed
only a few minutes before Mrs
Reddy followed swiftly This time she
hoped to at least see the stranger.
Luck was with her. AS she peeked
around an old stump. she saw stand
ing out in a little open space, looking
back as if he suspected he was being
followed, Gray Fox himself.
He was about the size of Reddy Fox,
but his legs We're longer and he was a
little more slender. His tail was not
nearly as handsome as Reddy's or as
her own. His coat was gray, trimmed
with red across the breast, and he was
red on the sides of his neck There
was also red on his legs. But as a
whole he looked gray, and this was
why he had the name of Gray Fox,
the Woods Fox.
Mrs. Reddy remained perfectly still,
peeping around the old stump. Gray
Fox didn't see her, but it was clear
that he was uneasy and suspected that
somebody was following him. After a
moment or two he turned and lightly
bounded away. Instantly, Mrs. Reddy
followed him. She found that Gray
Fox was a fast runner. Mrs. Reddy is
a fast runner herself. You. know.
before she was Mrs. Reddy she was
Miss Swiftfoot.
Presently she caught a glimpse of
! Gray Fox ahead of her. He disap-
peared behind a little hemlock tree.
Mrs. Reddy hurried faster than ever,
but when she peeked around that lit
tie hemlock tree Gray Fox was no.
where to be seen. Yet she could see
nothing behind which he could be hid
ing. If ever there was a puzzled Fox,
it was Mrs. Reddy. She sat down with
her head on one side to study things
out. A bit of bark dropped from a
I tree just in front of her. She looked
UP. There was Gray Fox halfway up
that tree. How Mrs. Reddy did stare!
"Reddy told the truth" she NUT
tered to no one in particular. Yes,
sir, Reddy told the truth"

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Aries.

TomorroW'S planetary aspects are
threatening and adverse, although
conditions improve after sunset,
when the presence of stimulating
vibrations will be sensed. The un.
favorable influences on actual en-
deavor can be counteracted by strict
attention only to those duties that
are customary or obligatory. The
unfavorable influences on the dispo-
sition will be more difficult to con-
quer as, in order to overcome the
spirit of pessimism and self-dissatis-
faction that will be engendered, it
will be necessary to exercise restraint
and to maintain poise. In the eve
ming self-assurance will be re-estab-
lished and the conditions then pre-
vailing augur we'll for all social re-
unions or family gatherings.
A boy born tomorrow will be more
than usually subject to the vicissi-
tudes of infancy. but, given whole
some environment and good nutri-
ton, there is nothing to indicate that
he will fail to achieve physical nor
malcy. A girl, while being healthy
and strong as youngster, will, ac-
cording to the signs, suffer from one
or more serious ailments just prior
to the attainment of womanhoOd.
There will be every need of the
utmost care, but no occasion for
alarm. In disposition children born
tomorrow promise to be always hun
gering after information, and will be
very progressive in their studies.
They will derive great pleasure from
their own society and will not be
good mixers, although capable of
strong and powerful emotions.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
are careless, unpunctual and rath-
er Internationally inconsiderate of
others. To a certain extent you are
q dreamer, as you spend more time
in visualizing schemes of the future
than in tackling with enthusiasm the
problem near at hand. You are prone
to think more of what you would
like to do than in demonstrating what
you can do.
You pay very little attention to
details and overlook the fact that
care in small affairs often inspires
confidence in others that this reveals
the ability to handle big affairs. If
ANYTHING is worth doing at all it is
worth doing well.
Your unpunctuality is tantamount
to lack of courtesy, although not so
intended by you. This is defect
that can be easily remedied.
In your home life you are some
what overbearing, and this does not
make for harmony or contentment.
If you could cultFate the habit of
thinking more of others comfort and
convenience and less of your own
much happiness would result.

CHAPTER XXI.
Francine and Mimi.

Mimi, in the meantime. was feeling
her way along very carefully. She did
not want to antagonize Arthur, nor
let him suspect that she was deceiving
him, until she was fairly sure of the
new man who had come into her life,
and her friendship with her new ad-
mirer was too recent to tell anything
about 1t.
She had questioned Francine very
carefully about Arthur.
do you think he suspected any
thing? What did he say? And we're
you careful about what you told him.

The willy Francine had replied
guardedly.

You mean he didn't believe that

Francine shrugged. I

You're sure you were careful about
what you said to him.
Francine famed up at this remark.
See here, Mimi, you can attend to
your own affairs after this. l don't
want to be mixed up in them"
II suppose you didn't enjoy going to
the Frivolity for supper with Arthur.
Oh, no! You'd rather go to beanery
for an egg sandwich and a glass of
milk, wouldn't you? Oh, yes. And if

In spite of her callous remarks, how
ever, Mimi thought about what Fran
cine had said. and was troubled. 1t
was true that Arthur got ugly when
he had been drinking. Suppose he did
do something rash. After all, the idea
wasn't so ridiculous. The papers were
full OF such things.
"Of course, / can manage him" she
kept telling herself confidently. And
vet it wouldn't do any harm to be
careful Perhaps it might be as well
to end things definitely with Arthur.
She was tired of him. He wasn't
nearly as amusing as he had been, he
had grown too serious. AS for his
gifts, they weren't so much. He was
an awful bore when he had been
drinking.
III wait a few days and see what
happens, she told herself finally.
"And in the meantime I'll be careful.
There's no need of antagonizinS
Arthur unnecessarily"

Colors in Your Easter Hat.

OF course, the shape of your hat and
it's general style and lines are impor-
tant, but not more so than it's color.
Many women so distrust their taste
in color that they wear but two colors,
black in Winter and white in Summer.
If women knew more about coloring
they'd buy better hats and fewer
cosmetics! ... ......
It's no excuse to plead that you can't
find a suitable color. Blue, for ex-
ample, will look well on anybody, and
there are Is different shades of blue
for your selection. There are over 10
shades each of green, red, gray and
so on. It's up to you to find out which
Of these you can wear. You may look
stunning in an apricot pink, and yet
ghastly in a salmon pink.
Not only do the colors matter, but
also the way in which you combine
them. Some materials are made up in
changeable colors-that is, you see
now one color and now the other, de-
pending upon how the light strikes
your hat. Moire sometimes gives the
effect of two shades. Changeable col
ors have the effect of making a hat
look larger than it it. Contrasting col
ors must be considered for their effect,

SOURCE-A given name, a locality.
There are really several possible
sources of the family name Gillett,
or Gillette, though for practical pur-
poses only two of them need be con-
sidered. The others are more or less
doubtful.
You might not guess it, but this
name, when it comes from one Of
these sources. has the same meaning
as Williamson. "Guillot" was one Of
the French diminutives of William.
Virtually this was the same as the
more Anglo-Saxon form of "Willet."
The dropping out Of the "u" was log
ical at a time when the ''g" would
have been pronounced hard anyhow,
and later, when the tendency grew to
pronounce a "g" before an 81" like
81" the pronunciation Of the family
name naturally tended toward the
modern Gillett.
The other source of the family
name, and doubtless the correct one
in a great many instances, was the
name of a town in Piedmont, France,
Gillette.
But it is so easy to add or lop off the
final "e" that you must not take its
presence or absence as indicating
which Of the two sources the family
name came from in the individual in
stance.

cloth. Roll in flour. Heat two table
spoonfuls of fat in a frying kettle and
brown the tongue on all sides, adding
one onion sliced, to brown along.
Cover with boiling water, add one bay
leaf, four whole peppercorns, and salt
to taste. Simmer until tender. Mix
to a soft dough two cupfuls of -four,
four level teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, a quarter teaspoonful of salt
and one cupful of milk. Drop by

When preparing mutton for stews.
several different plans may be fol-
lowed The meat may be cut into
small pieces and cooked in water, or
it may be first Drowned in fat before
being cooked in water. Another way
is to mince the raw meat, cook I'm a
little fat, and then combine with vege-
tables. This is suitable when the
vegetables used are very juicy, as in
minced mutton with eggplant.

, sible to work out a great many artistic
color schemes. The napkin may be of
a cream color, whereas the cross
stitch is done on green material, which
also binds the edge. The potted tree is
done in colors to go well with the rest
of the plan. In this case it might be
in orange, with a brown flower pot
and a few dark green stitches to indi-
cate the stem.
A white ground with Colored en-
broidery in the favored cross-stitch
may prove most tempting to some. In
this case tiny red flower pot holds a
green tree with a diminutive brown
stem.
Ornamental Cloth.
The refreshment cloth should bear
the ornament in all of the four cor
ners. An exceedingly pleasing way of
decorating the center of it is to place
lot of the embroidered pieces to-
gether so as to form a hollow square.
The points of the triangular pieces
are put end to end. four or five on a
side. Be very sure to find the exact
center of the cloth. This is done easily
by folding it twice and taking the
point for the center.
For Lovers of Filet.
The exqusiteness of filet-trimmed
napery appeals to many people, and
the design offered today gives a splen-
did opportunity to set deft fingers fly
ing. Done in salf-toned or contrasting
thread it is charming. The idea of
the decorative center is no less prac-
tical when filet is the chosen mode. In
this case the pieces would be used as
inserts instead of applique.
