ton. being subjects of several power
full lords or princes who have sold
their military services to the King of

as peaceful settlers in search of lib

All this being 50. why should we

not welcome them and invite them to

The New Leila.

TO return to Leila. on the night
that she had left the Kingsley house,
she had gone back to the cheap hotel
where she had stayed hefore,s She
had dreaded it, she had been fearful
of the feeling of sick depression that
she was sure would he hers, once
she entered one of those dreary
rooms. But strangely enough, she
was not nearly so miserable as she
had expected.
OF course she was unhappy, but 1t
was largely because of the discovery
she had made about Richard. She
cared for hin, and she was sure he
cared for her, and vet they could
never be anything to cach ether. 1t
was horrible, tragic! And yet she
hadn't wanted to fall in love with
him. 1t had been the last thing in
the world that she had expected.
Aside from her unhappiness about
this, she discovered to her amaze
ment that she was no longer afraid
of life. She felt strong and we'll able
to fight her battles, she no longer had
that terrible fear of the future. Had
her experience with the Kingsleys
tOughened her, made her self-reliant? ?
She actually had a feeling Of aSsllr-
ance about getting work. She hadn't
completed her course in stenography
and typewriting, but even now she
felt that she had progressed far
enough to be able to get Il position as
typist. The thought thrilled her She
actually had a trade.

The room beautiful is what every
girl wants to make of her chamber,
or of any room that is hers to dec
crate. Fortunately, she can have the
advice of her mother, but it is wise
for the mother to let the daughter
make the place which is her own as
definitely an expression of herself as
possible. If the daughter has little
idea of interior decoration she Will
have to experiment. Few persons OBJ
Ject to doing this. So give the child
a loose rein and watch results.
Harmony i'm Decoration.
1t may be that the daughter really
knows more of modern schemes and
ideas for interior decoration than the
mother who has kept rooms in about
the same style of decoration for years.
While il is a mistake to mix decora-
tOnS by introducing elements of one
era that do not harmonic with those
of another, it still is possible to blend
periods when adrOitly done. If changes
are to be made in main rooms of a
house both mother and daughter to-
cethcr can study them and their fur
nishings before deciding definitely on
purchases or on reVisions. 1t is when
the room to be changed is the daugh-
ter'S only, that she should be permit
ted to have just what she wants as a
scheme for the interior.
Effort Well Spent.
When suggesting that a daughter
fix her room to her liking or when
accedinG to her request to do so, it
must be expected that some outlay
will be needed. If means are limited
this outlay may be small in dollars
and cents but large in the child $
own efforts Paint will do much to
renew the freshness of an interior.

Dangerous Friendships.

George says she does hope I'm
not going to be stuffy and old-fash-
ioned. She wants to have some real
up-todate advice. She knows that
she's Just bit unconventional in her
attitude toward life, but she feels that
1 will sympathize with her.
You see, her Teddy is far away in
the South. He's gone fer six months
and at the end of that time he'll re-
turn complete with a glorious fortune.
They will then be married, have sew
eral children and be thoroughly con-
ventional. In the meantime Georgie
is left at home to prepare for the
great event. She is, she assures me,
not hard to look at and Il great many
men have found difficulty in looking
at anything else when she is around.
Now she works on q newspaper and
most awfully attractive man has
asked her to go out with him, al
though he's seen Teddy's ring on her
finger, and knows that she's bound to
be another's one of these days. Still
he protests that he doesn't want any
sort of sentimental attachment be
tween them. He wants a nice girl to
dance with and ride with and play
tennis with.
George hasn't a thing to do this
Summer and she just yearnS for Il
few good times. Surely there's no
disloyalty to Teddy in her attitude.
She doesn't care for the new man,
Jim. at all-only she's pleased that he
wants to take her out-pleased that
her companionship would make him
happy. Is there any harm in her
stranger while Teddy works away in
the Southland?
It's so hard to tell you the truth,
George, and not sound conventional
and Stuffy. At the very first word of
common sense you're going to turn
your back on me and sniff. Still you
ask for a truthful answer and here
it is.
Your relationship with the big
brown-eyed newcomer will in all prob
ability lead you into one sort of
trouble or another. Therefore, it's a
darn good thing to be avoided, even
if you do have to give up a lot of
nice parties this Summer.
Don't misunderstood me. I'm not
limiting that you're wild over this
man secretly, that you're untrue and
tickle. that you think of him as a
possible sweetheart at all. You may
have the most loyal heart in the
WI Uut OIl, IIlCSt ESuIIIIIiEi HNSI-
ings! These moons and these auto
rides and these wonderful dances with
wonderful dancer-and those dull
letters from Teddy, who never seems
to know how to be sentimental.
Stronger girls than you have fallen
for the old proximity stuff. You may
run yourself right out of your pleas
ant romance into a new ENHANCEMENT
with Jim. And oh, the misery and
woe that comes with broken en-
gagement. Honestly it's the worst
moment of a girls lifc-when She
realizes that she's got to give the air
to the old faithful whom she's loved
all her life.
Suppose you don't fall. That's not
saying that Jim won't. If you're as
easy to look at as you claim, nothing
could be more natural than a hopeless
passion on his part. Then you've got
all the mess of letting him down and
hurting his feelings, too.
Platonc summer friendships, with
the fiance far away are dangerous
things. Just playing around with
someone else's sweetheart won't make
Jim any happier nor YOU in the end.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

TomorroW's planetary aspects are
benign, without being actively favor
able. They are, in every sense, APP
propriate for the obServances ana
recreations of a Sunday. There VIII
not be sensed any great urge TO IN
dulge in many activities, but there
will be experienced a feeling of con-
tentment and self satisfaction, all OF
which must inevitably promote ana
foster good fellowship. In the eve
ming, the aspects become rather
clouded and, at this time, care must
be taken to avoid hastiness or i'm
n,11siveness. as one ill-considered
word or act may mar a day that
should only be typical of tranquility
and peace.
Children born tomorrow will, ac-
cording to the signs, enjoy an eX-
ceptional measure Of pulchritude, and
although during infancy their ply
sical condition may cause occasional
worry and anxiety, the astrological
indications point to the attainment
of physical normalcy long before
they reach their teens. In dlsposi-
ton they will have great charm,
which will enable them to get away
with much that would provoke pun
ishment in another. This, however,
will not mar their general cleanl1-
ness of thought and goodness of ac-
ton, nor will it destroy their gener-
Gus and affectionate impulses. They
will lie fairly studious and always
show a laudable desire to do well all
tasks intrusted to them.
l. If tomorrow is your birthday, you
have an aggressive disposition and
YOUR best friends are often grieved
that you carry a permanent chip on
your shoulder. You seem to labor
under the impression that every ones
hand is against you, and that neces-
sity compelS you to always don
battling armor." This antagonizes
many who, under other conditions,
would be your friends. You are al
ways berating your luck and forget
that I'VE are our own fateS, and that
our own acts are our dOOmSmen.
You are not, however, easily dis
couraged, even though your plans
often go wrong. You are aspiring,
versatile, and at all times arbitrary.
Intellectually. you are neither giant
nor dwarf. Your knowledge is, how
ever. of too general q character to
serve as n very valuable asset. Your
reading is desultory, but, if YOU could
concentrate on one subject and
master it, your chances of ultimate
success would be augmented.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Mrs. John A. Logan, editor
and author; Ethel Barrymore, actress;
Abram j., Ryan. poet priest; Willis

Treatment for Spots.
Should any daub of paint get on

before brushing off. and there is little
to be feared from such a spot.
Paint or Paper.
The entire wall can be painted or
papered by the girl if she is strong
enough for the undertaking. Mother
can aid decidedly when so much of a
task is undertaken. Full directions for
papering a room will be printed should
enough requests come in for me to
know there is interest in it. The
work requires definite methods of
cutting the paper, trimming the edges,
applying the paste ands folding and
hanging the paper. The easiest kinds
of paper to hang should also be
chosen, and there are definite styles
to consider.

course, to give more than a few rules
and hints for the room beautiful. but
others will be considered in future
