well as a tough old hen. There is
no accounting for tastes.
Shadow went over to Farmer
Browns barn and there was no
trouble getting inside. There were
dozens of places Shadow could get
through. You know, Shadow Is so
slim that he can go through a very
small hole. The moment he had got
inside that barn he was glad he had
come. He forgot all about hens. You
see, the very instant he poked his
head inside that barn he heard a
young rat squeal. He cooked his
head to one side and listened He
heard the scampering of little feet
behind the grain bin. He darted over
there and put his nose to the floor.
He smelled rat. His eyes began to
glow red. He licked his lips. 'I
hear a rat, smell rat, pretty soon
I'll see a rat and then I'll taste a
rat" said Shadow. and started of
with his nose to the floor, just as
Bowser the Hound follows the trail
of Red Fox.
1t didn't take Shadow long to get
his breakfast after that. You see,
there were great many rats in that
barn. Farmer Brown had done his
best to get rid of them. but they had
, been too much for him. Robber the
Rat believes in big families and
plenty of them. There is very little

to be so numerous that they do a

very. very bold. 1t was this way
when Shadow the Weasel arrival in

1t wasn't more than a day or two
before Farmer Browns Boy dis
covered that something was happen
ing in the barn. He heard suueaks
of terror and a great racing about.
He wondered what it meant; and
then for just a second he caught a
glimpse of something white. 1t dis

glimpse told Farmer Browns Boy all
he needed to know. Shadow the

Though, of course, Farmer Browns s
Boy didn't know 1t, Shadow had al
ready made up his mind that he
would stay a while. In fact, he
thought he would stay quite a while.
1t all depended on how the supply Of
rats held out. This was good hunt

Few silks serve so many occasions
as taffeta. You may use il for the
formal, elaborate evening gown, Tor
the simple little dinner frock, for
the bathing suit, for neglige, for the
sport jumper and for the serviceable
little dark blue or black irock that
you can wear all day long in Spring
and Summer.
The present taffeta is really not
quite the counterpart of the taffeta
that we knew In childhood. II has
the old-tfme crispness and virility, but
1t is more supple.
For evening the full-skirted snug
bodiced dress that we call the robe
de style" is at its best in taffeta. Ian
vim OF Paris has sponsored It this
season. For afternoon there are
taffeta frocks of the two piece Or
jumper variety. There Will be taffeta
coats aplenty for Spring, and many
women are choosing taffeta for the
useful little daytime coat they take
South. Not to be outdone by the
dressmakers the millincrs are max
ing taffeta hats and straw RATS trim
med with taffeta. If the shoemakers
could only devise some way TO make
taffeta slippers then we should in
deed be prepared for n tafeta season.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Aquarius.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
fairly favorable. although there are
transitory periods of unrest and dis
quietude, especially just after noon.
In order to counteract these untoward
influences, poise must be established
and maintained. There is nothing in
the signs that denote any unfavorable
atmosphere for the usual obserVances
or recreations Of a Sunday. 1t Is,
however, an inauspiCious occasion for
travel. In the evening the indications
denote restfulness and harmony. and
it would be well take full advantage
of this benign condition.
A girl born tomorrow will enjoy
normal health during infancy and
girlhood. She should, if possible,
marry at an early age. A boy will
have normal childhood, but prom
lses TO attain a healthy and vigorous
manhood. Temperamentally the boy
will be rather sullen, slow to anger
but often angry, reserved and none
too companionable He should be
compelled. in his youth, to associate
with others of a similar age, so that
he does not become wholly self-cen-
tered. girl will be attractive, pos
sessing many sterling traits. but at
all times have n level head. which
will shield her from all pitfalls and
insure her ultimate happiness.
II tomorrow is your birthday, you
are very truthful, and never fear the
consequences Of your frankness and
outspokenness. You possess both
moral and physical courage. With 1t
all, however, you are rather incon-
siderate of others. and frequently dis
play signs of a selfishness that is al
together Inconsistent with charm or
attracttveness. This is not a chronic
condition. but is spasmodic.
You are good natured, and very
fair-minded you never jump at conclu-
slons, or do or say things on the i'm
pulse Of the moment. Your tempera-
ment is a Judicial one, and you never
fail to remember that everything has
two sides to il.
Preferably. your mate should have
been born in May, July or November.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Joseph H. Choate. lawyer;
Joseph w. Drexel. banker and philan-
thropist; Charles Kendall Adams, edu-
Gator: George A. Gates, educator; Rob
ert Grant, jurist and author; Charles
II. NiehauS, sculptor.

Luck in Numbers
BY NEYSA McMEIS.
On Changing Names.

| suppose ii was the recognition Of
the fact that names have certain
numerical values and consequently
exercise a definite influence upon
peoples lives that made so many men
alter their names when they wanted
to change their vocations. History is
full Of such cases. Napoleon, for in
stance, changed his signature three
different times during the various
stages of his astonishing career. Born
Napoleone Buonaparte, when he en-
tered the army he changed the Cor
sican spelling to Napoleon Buona-
parte, and later to Napoleon Bona
parte Toward the height of his
career he simply signed himself n.
Bonaparte.
Woodrow Wilson Is another inter
esting case. When he took the chair
Of history at Princeton, a cornpara-
lively unknown professor, he was
Thomas w. Wilson. Later, as presi-
dent of the university. he dropped
the Thomas and used only his middle
name, Woodrow. AS Woodrow Viii
son he will go down in history as
one of the greatest statesmen amer
ica has produced.
Take another mann man ef a
different type. but in many ways
equally famous-Mark Twain. When
as a young man Twain went out
West to the roaring mining camps
Of that period he went as Samuel
Langhorne Clemens, the name he was
given shortly after his birth. which
occurred November 80. 1895. His
birth birth number was i and his
name No. 2:
III III - L5-3=l7

ga 4a645-I==3e
It's 4-9-13 Il +3( a c+6=s
S=20=2
When he first began his career as
a writer-on a small mining town
paper-he adopted the nom de plume
Mark Twain. and so famous did he
become that he finally practically
gave up his real name, and during the
greater part Of his life was called
Mark Twain. and so he will always
be known. It is curious fact that
his adopted name also works out to a 2:
al +2416 2-54I+e+5-c2
74-4-I1 Il ~
But this is an entirely different
kind of a ., the special kind, ar
rived at through the number II,
which, as all numerologists agree, is
the number of genius.

CHAPTER xxx.
Nicky's Party.

Rosalind awoke the next morning
with a dull headache, but after a bath
and some hot coffee her usual spirits
began to assert themselves. After ALL
she had no assurance that Alvin had
lied to her. He might have been tied
up in a business conference. Why not
give him the benefit of the doubt, at
least until Nicky's party. If he ap-
peared there with Edith Thomas she
would know that her convictions had
been right. Then she could make up
her mind what to do. Until then 1t
was really foolish to worry.
The thought of the party brought
her pride to the surface, and she de-
termined to make herself ravishing
She planned out every detail of her
costume, and that afternoon when she
was ready she looked at herself In the
mirror and was satisfied.
AT o'clock Nicky called for her
and she was unusually nice to him.
She laughed and talked while they
were driving the short way to his
apartment, and once arrived there she
exclaimed over the attractiveness Of
his rooms.
The apartment was charming. Nicky
fad secured three large rooms In a re-
modelled house on East Thirty fifth
street. He had gone in for the bizarre

nished In Chinese style. Embroideries

had Chinese lamps on each side of 1t;
there were Chinese rugs and Chinese
prints, and lacquered furniture of
every description. The unusualness
of it delighted Rose, although she
would not have enjoyed living in the
midst of it. Her mind was too conven-
tional for that. She preferred Dor
othy's apartment, with its over
stuffed furniture and taffeta draperies.
Nicky's place was too "arty."

1t and disciplines 1t. When father
comes home at night he Is new and
delightful. and the child runs to him
and throw himself in his arms.
Instead of feeling delighted that
the child loves It's father, the mother
experiences a genuine emotion Of
jealousy. She thinks to herself: why
should his father seem only delight

upon me, who give him all of my
time. as disciplinarian?' In conse-
quence she works upon the child in
the daytime to bind him to her so
closely that when the child is asked

may be sure such parents ask ques-
tions Of this sortf-the child hesitat-
ingly says. MY mother" The mother
prompts him to say this in those
hours when she is In closest COM
munion with him. and ! have seen
mothers smile with satisfaction when
a child said this before his father.
Then the father, unconsctously, too,
perhaps, waits for opportunities to
ingratiate himself with the child. The
mother becomes tired and nervous and
snappy- -tongued. The fathers arms
are ready as a harbor for the child
Come to your daddy. he won't scold
you" says father, and is overJoyed
when the child takes refuge with
him.
Mother says he may not have
cherished toy. or candy before meal
times, and father takes him to one
side and slyly gives the child what he
desires, and whispers insinuatingly:
Daddy will give you the candy, old

that these actions do not take into

quickest to do and easiest, also. Baste
brown paper under the net, being
sure that the net is straight and
even. but neither drawn too tight
nor left too loose. Then transfer the
design. Leave the paper under the
net until the pattern is entirely
worked. Baste the lawn cut-outs in
their proper places. These may be
stitched by machine close to edges
or felled down. Then cover edges
with the braid or cord, sewing 1t
securely. Chain stitch is a good one
to use If edges are embroidered and
not so covered. When the work IS
completed. the paper should be cut
and pulled away gently. and the cur
tains pressed on the wrong side.
Press over a damp cloth.
Under Coverlids.
There IS a dantiness In a chamber
having curtains and bedspread sets
Of such kind. To make the work
show to best advantage there should
be a plain cover under the spread,
the tone matching the hue of the
net. Unbleached cotton cloth or mus
lin is excellent for these under cover
lids. No other hangings are needed
for windows with these appliqued
net curtains. They combine both
glass curtains and draperies. The
colorful applique accents the decora-
ton.
Covers in Harmony.
Covers for dressing tables, etc,
that will go artistically in a room
with appliqued net sets can be made
from the plain lawn or a heavier
quality Of linen or cotton goods in
the same shade. Finish with ruff
fies or fiat bands of the plain net,
put on with the same finish used on
the set-either the cord, soutache or
coarse cotton in chain stitch. Do
not make covers to match net SETS
Too much of the work would be
monotonous. There should be har-
mony, but any tendency to monotony
detracts from the beauty of the dec
grafton.

When their father offered to bring
each one of his children a gift when
he returned, the two sisters were wild
with JOY and racked their heads to
think of the most expensive thing.
But Beauty said she would like moth
ing but a rose, since none grew where
they lived. She only said this because
she did not wish to seem better than
her sisters by saying she did not want
anything.
Then the father set forth and at
last came to the city and found the
great merchant ship. But some of
the cargo had been damaged and a
dispute arose about the remainder.
When it was finally settled. the
merchant found he had nothing at
all and started back home even poorer
than he had come.
Beauty's other sister Is wearing a
pale blue slip. tan stockings and black
shoes. Her hair is brown.

We have become accustomed to
seeing bedspreads and draperies

feature in this unique mode, which
lends distinction to bedroom decora-
ton.
The net IS apt to be cream color
and may be either tilet or round
mesh. The color of the lawn should
be that of the color scheme of the
room. The cord or other finish may
he of q deeper hue OF this same tone,
or ii may be black. If the latter.
great care must be used to be sure
that 1t viii not run when laundered.

IS that IL lends itself to the handi-
