What Tomorrow Means to You

Tomorrow : planetary aspects are
negative, and do not indicate any
signs of very definite or clear ma
ture. Under such conditions. care and
caution are necessary. and every
thing that SavorS of speculation or
hazard should be avoided. There is
no reason to defer the efforts that
are usually associated with construc-
tive work, but even in this. not much
material progress can be anticipated.

but this will more affect the spirit

A boy born tomorrow will. al
though having every appearance OF
health and vigor. give rise to many
fears as result of the ailments
from which he will suffer during the
period of infancy. Proper nutrition
will do more for this child than med:-

strong and lusty, and will develop
along normal lines. and the slight all

If tomorrow is your birthday you
are a foe of all affectation and pre-

any form of Hypocrisy. and airs of
superiority rile YOU to such an en-

more forcible than polite
You enjoy the reputation of being
ruggedly honest. but your lack of
tact and discretion, in spite of Your
many other good traits. has often
stood between YOU and a material

BEAUTY CHATS BY Edna KENT FORBES

ter. whether YOU wear Your hair long
or short.
If Your hair is long. YOU can bring
over the top Of the ear just enough of
the hair to cover a part and still show
enough Of the ear to look right and
not be ont of the present style in hair
dressing. If YOU wear your hair bob
bed, you can have it cropped almost
all around and still leave enough hair
20 cover the top of the ear, or enough
to make a fiat curl.
There isn't a great deal that can be
Done to make ears beautiful when
they are not naturally so. and the
easiest thing for a woman to do is to
wear her hair SO that she can compro-
mise with the mode and also show as
little or as much of her ears as she
dares.
Mrs. Fannie d. K.-The egg astrir.
gent YOU refer to is made by mixing.
one part white of egg with six parts
water, as the egg is very powerful
and requires great deal of diluting.
There is usually enough white of egg
left in an eggshell after the egg is
dropped from it to make an astrin-
gent for a treatment after the water
is added to it.
First, cleanse your skin thoroughly
TO free the pores before applying the
astringent. A brush or your finger
tips will do, and get the astringent
over all of your face up to the hair
line. and over your throat. including
, the back of your neck. In front of
the ears. and up and down the neck
behind the ears, are places of even
greater Importance than under the
eyes and around the mouth. Lie
down and relax for 20 minutes while
the astringent acts on the skin. Wash
it off and massage with cream.

WHEN WE co SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND II. ALLEN.

Australia. If you're wise you'Il buy
your opal from a reliable jeweler be-
cause all opals are not precious. and
you can be greatly overcharged if
YOU buy from an unrecommended
stranger.
Among the precious opals is the
fire opal 1t got its name from its
beautiful reddish tint. 1t has one
defect in that it is apt to deterior-
ate through exposure. Another
popular variety of the opal is the one
showing bright green and crimson
flashes. This variety is called the
harlequin. Recently a black variety
has risen much in popular favor.
The matriX of the opal is used very
commonly in the setting of artistic
jewelry in which a rugged appear
ance is desired. 1t gives a great con-
trast between the stone and rock in
which it is found, and produces a
striking effect.
If you can appreciate an opal you
are a real connoisseur of beauty
among gems. Many people admire
diamonds chiefly because they are
expensive, but the opal must be ad-
mired chiefly for its beauty. It is
one of the most colorful Of all gems
and exceeded by few in fire and
startling flashes of vivid color.

Iodin as a Food.

If YOU drink enough tincture OF iodin
il is likely to kill you. 1odin. the eie-
ment-the familiar tincture of iodin is
Il solution Of the element in alcohol--is
quite as essential to the human body
as iron is, and a shortage of lodln In
our food and drink is more frequent
than a shortage of iron. In fact 1t is
questionable whether the human body
ever suffers from an iron shortage I'M
less the individuals choice of food is
restricted in some unusual way. A
very large share Of the population in
most inland communities in the United
States suffers from a shortage of iodin
1t takes a better scientist than l am
to explain how it comes about, but sci
ence says that the sea is the orlglnal
source of all the iodin in the world.
How some of it has been carried far
inland to the soil and water in the ele-
waited plateauS and mountains the
biologists and biologists can tell you.
But iodin in all it's natural forms is
very soluble, so that it is being con-
stantly washed out of the soil inland
and carried in the water back to the
sea again; that is. a scientific sharp
plausible. Anyway; 1 like to think
know-of course. 1 don't know any
thing at all, when you get too particu-
lar about It, but one comes to believe
lot Of things the scientific people say,
simply because they have no reason
for misleading or deceiving one about
these things+so I believe the best
source of iodin as an essential food is
the seaside staple and inland delicacy
known as sea food-anything edible
that comes out of the ocean.
Alack and alas. only fresh sea food
carries the desirable iodin. Canning
and preserving seems to dissolve the
iodin out of such foods. There is only
one preserved sea food that have any
knowledge Of which still retains fair
|amount of it's natural iodin, and that is
none other than our old village grocery
friend, the smoked herring.
In most up-to-the-minute towns, even
far inland nowadays. some philan-
thropic merchant stocks a line Of fresh
sea foods-lobsters, CLAIMS. oysters and
sometimes even fresh salmon, cod and

Flowers That Eat Animals.

There are flowers that arc as crafty
as spiders about catching flies. and
though stories about man-eating
plants are foolishness, insect-eating
plants are common In almost all parts
Of the world. They generally lure the
insects to their deathly embrace by
the promise OF nectar. The sundew
has a leaf glittering with a substance
that looks like dew or nectar, to which
insects are attracted. The minute the
insect strikes the leaf he Is stuck fast
as in glue. The leaf then curls up and
the seductive liquid digests him. This
liquid is chemically similar to human
digestive juices, and is often collected
by country people and used to curdle
their milk.
Now, what do you know about that?
Ansers to yesterdays questions:
l. The ostrich Is the largest bird in
the world.
,. The hummingbird is the smallest
bird in the world.
g. The Dodo was a real bird, but Is
now extinct.
T. Birds are most closely related to
reptiles.
j. There are about II 900 kinds OF
birds in the world.
8. Feathers arc the organs that
birds and no other animals possess.

Sloved in public places.
For centuries gloves have carried
with them some sort of social SIgnlfi-

Sloves-other than as Il means of
keeping out the cold and as a pro
lection for the hands in doing rough
work-had its origin when it became
the fad to go with pet falcons perched
on the wrist. That seems an absurd
fashion! doesn't it" But it's not a
whit sillier than some OF the things
we do today in the name OF 1aShloh'
You simply couldn't carry q falcon on

And just as the privilege of carrying

a man came into the presence OF his

This refers to the blending of the yell

that minute cavities produce this re-
fraction of light. In the opals which
are used as gem stones, that is the

John Dennison.

Perry insisted upon going up in the
elevator with Martha when they
finally reached the apartment. There
was an air of delicious protectiveness
in his attitude toward her, and when
they said goodnight just outside of
the Dennisons' door he lifted her
hand to his lips.
There was nothing il the act il
self. Perry was accustomed to such
things, and he did them gracefully and
appropriately. But the touch Of his
lips against her fingers stirred in Mar
tina the memory of halfforgotten
thrills. The admiration in his dark
eyes was exhilarating. II had been
SO long since any man had looked at
her that way, SO long since she had

The next moment she had murmur

tractive he was. He had seemed to
admire her. Was it wrong for her TO

LOT an evening IN lne llSnl OF MS al
miration? After all, it was innocent
enough. There had been nothing in
il, and she would take care. of course,
that nothing should come of it. There
was no possibility of her seeing him
alone, and if she met him occasionally
at the homes of friends, and friend
ship developed between them, no one
could take exception to that.
The street door slammed and Mar
tina was startled out of her day dream
ing. That must be John now, for Ma
talie was out Of town as we'll as
