Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
| not at all favorable. and only toward
the latter part of the evening are there
any signs of a change for the better.
1t Is one of those days when you will
feel that everything is at skies and
sevens. and will he easily discourag ed.
1t will be absolutely necessary, in
order to avoid any untoward conse.
quences. to establish poise and main
tain equilibrium. Anything done in
haste will be repented at leisure. and
above all. speculation and risk must
be carefully avoided. In the evening
i is polite to engage in light amuse.
ment or seek congenial Compa Mon
ship, as this will prove the best anti
dote for the disturbing influences Of
the day.
Children born tomorrow will. dur
ing infancy, enjoy exuberant health
and will be practically immune to the
many ailments from which little ones
generally suffer. The sign denotes
that. just prior to adolescence, they
are liable to be attacked by an illness
of a grave nature. Once, however,
this is successfully combated there is
nothing to indicate that they will not
attain a healthy maturity. The dis
positions will be rather selfish. and
they will prove to be self.centared.
When these defects are noticed in
early days, attempts should be made
at once to eradicate them, so that,
when they grow up. they will not be
a nuisance to everybody and trouble
to themselves. They will be very am
bilious and inclined to do almost any
thing to achieve the results they have
in view. The children will owe more
Of their success in after.life to the way
in which they were brought up, than
the average child.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
possess several remarkab BILE character
istics, all of which, If properly utilized.

reliant, authoritative, determined and
persevering. You possess great execu-

given to picking them. Gathering the
| grapes is sfmplified by the fact that
| ripe and unripe ones make the best
combination. While 1t would be diff
| cult to get punches of wild grapes
that had all matured at the same
| time. getting mixed punches Is easy.
The skins are thick and PUPPY and
the inside part Is rich in flavor. Every
| portion except the seeds can be util-
lied. Less sugar is required than for
currant jelly with it's acidity. and
rant to serve with meats. With sugar
still high, this is a feature in favor
If grape jelly.
For Jelly and Jam.
When jam is to be made from the
pulp and skin Of grapes the juice may
be made into jelly. The grapes must
be stemmed and washed first. Enough
water will cling to the grapes for no
extra to be needed. though a little
more may be added without detri
ment. Put the washed and stemmed
grapes into the preserving kettle over
slow fire. Simmer, occasionally
pressing them with a silver, enamel
or wooden spoon so that the pulp is
broken. Cook skins separately. When
all are tended. pour each into a Jelly
bag. and allow to drip over night into
a porcelain or enamel ware bowl or
kettle.
Grape Jelly.
In the morning measure the juice
and use an equal amount of sugar. or
pint to a pound. which amounts to
the same thing. | may say that it
has been proved that scant measures
of sugar are sufficient. A cup seven.
eighths full of sugar to one trimming
full of grape juice is enough, though
the old proportions stated are reliable
Let the juice come to boil and then
add the sugar that has been heated in
the oven. Boil all together for 20
minutes, stirring until the sugar is
dissolved and the liquid is clear Pour
into jelly glasses In which a few
scrapings of paraffin have been
placed. Let stand where the glasses
will not be moved nor joggled The
tops will be sealed air tight by the
paraffin when it rises to the top Of
the jelly.
Jam From Skin and Pulp.
The pulp rema lining must be
strained through a colander to re-
move seeds. Put with the skins and
add an equal amount of sugar and
cook slowly stirring constantly to pre-
vent burning. When the consistency
is as thick as jam pour into sterilized
jars and seal hot.

first few months in the hospital and
there had been scarcity Of nurses
due to an epidemic of some kind.
Betty had been called in on q surgical
case for which he had administered
the anesthetic.
He was sitting at the patients head
dropping ether on the cone that
covered the mouth and nose. II was
a bad appendix case on a child Of {.
a little girl with cropped gold hair
that fell back in shower aga inst the
pillow.
Betty as ward nurse was standing
beside the surgeon ready To assist
him. The tray of instruments was
close at hand.
Amos rarely looked at any nurse
with show of interest. Usually they
did not appeal to him as being par
ticularly feminine. Their training
made them so calmly efficient. so ap-
parently without feeling OF course
it was hardly fair to Judge them when
training was. after all. to blame for
their professional poise. But this
nurse was different. The first thing
that struck him about her was her
unusual pallor. And then as the doc
tor made jhe incision and with almost
mocha nical precision. Betty handed
him what he peeded. Amos continued
to watch her.
She worked expertly. and vet when
the last stitch was taken, and she
raised her face. there were tears on
her cheeks. The surgeon leased her
lightly.
I'm surprised, Miss Ames. an old
veteran like YOU
Il know it," she returned, brushing
her laSheS with the back of her hand
in a childish fashion. But somehow
l can never bear to see an operation
on a child. Silly, isn't it,"
But Amos hadn't thought il silly.
He had thought it rather wonderful
if anything, and from that day he had
q feeling for Betty different from any
other he had ever known. He knew
quite well that she cared nothing for
him, and when the nurses discovered
his secret and leased Betty about him.
she pointedly avoided him. Neverthe
less he went right on caring for her.
1t was the way he was made.

Forgiveness.

Marie called Louise in the greatest
trepidation. "Oh, whatever in the
world do you think Of me? ," she cried.
II forgot all about our date, and made
another one. I'm downtown now hav-
ing lunch with Billy. do hope you
won't be sore. I really forgot all
| about you. Didn't do it on purpose
at all, and I'll never do it again.
That's all right" came Louise's
answer with unconvincing warmth.
Sure you're not angry" Marie
was still anxious. Louise was one OF
her best friends.
mo" still Louise was cold and un-
responsive. Marie rang OF finally
with a sigh.
Then she turned with a shrug to
Billy. "Oh, Louise is too tiresoms.
She's furious really. You can't get
along with a girl like that. Shes got
so much pride and constituencies. she
can't bring herself to forgive people
for sights. however unintended.
simply can't get along with her"
Therefore she was slightly on edge
when she met friend Louise again.
Louise was polite-very, very polite.
but chilly.
Finally Marie gave an impatient
toss of her head: "Oh. for heavens
sake, Louise. get over it. l didn't
commit any dreadful crime. I've
apoIogized at least 50 times more than
he thing Is worth"
"Why. Marie" Louise was acutely
aggrieved. II told you ia forgive
you for that. I've never mentioned 1t
again, have II"
mo but you might Just as well
have quarreled openly as to go around
with that sulky expression-looking
panied and hurt"
And Louise promptly got up on her
high horse all over again. She's one
of those misguided people who think
forgiveness consists in saying mag
unanimously Il forgive you." and then
looking silently reproachful for days
after
When you forgive some boy or girl
for slight or hurt you must do it
completely. You must bury your
pride and your resentment. way out
of sight You must not only speak
words of forgiveness-yOu must think
of forgiveness.
You don't put your friends at ease
with verbal assurance that you're
not angry. Only your actions Will
convince them that you're really on
friendly terms with them again.
If you pursue the other course-if
YOU assume the air of one who has
been deeply hurt. but is resolved to
bear her cross bravely-you won't
hold your friends long.
How can Eou expect to? People are
always hurting each other-always do
ing little. mean things for which they
are sorry after.
If you continue to make them feel
uncomfortable long after they've tried
to atone, they'll stop trying to atone.
They won't bother to apologize.
They'll know it isn't any use.
Forgive freely, when you do for
give, and you'll find people less in
clined to hurt your feelings with
neglect.

A Goiter Treatment.

A lot Of people, whether they have
thick neck or not, seem to have a
thick head. Such people cannot COM

times, that no remedy or treatment
can be guaranteed to cure anything.
You see these folk know so many
things which amt so. and among
these things they know that manv

to an alleged peace proposal. 1t

Their and will be, not to listen
to peace proposals, but to learn
whether Lord Howe has any author

authorized by Congress to meet him.
TO learn what that authority is, and
TO hear such propositions as he
may think fit to make respecting a
conference. This is in line with the

CHAPTER VII.
Amos Hears the News.

The news of Betty's engagement
to James Cornell spread like wild
fire through the hospital. The nurses
always seized upon any romance that
came their way and Betty herself
went around like some one in dream;
so radiant that she seemed to have an
aura of brightness about her.
Miss Anderson. who. in spite of her
good-natured placidity, had resented
being transferred from day to night
duty, was inclined to be catty. 1t was
she who broke the news to DR.. Craig
Have you heard about Miss Ames
and the handsome patient in 201?'
Amos Craig's gray eyes narrowed
and the line of his jaw stiffened as
against a blow He shook his head.
Loves young dream and all that.
Miss Anderson returned Il must say
Miss Ames played her cards well. She
did nice little piece of vampins while
his fever was high. I saw through her
game, in spite of the fact that she
tried to play the innocent stuff
"Oh, come now" Amos said good
naturally. aren't you A little too hard
on Miss Ames? She isn't that type of
girl"
That's because she never fell for
any one before. You should have
heard her going on one night. l was
sure he wouldn't live, but she kept
saying: L know he's going to get
WE'LL And she was so worked up
about it. Her eyes got all weepy as
If she were going to cry"
Amos made an attempt to change
the conversation and moment later
escaped. He disliked gossip about the
hospital and avoided 1t as much az
possible. He wouldn't have listened
today If the subject had not centered
around Betty, and the news Of her en-
gagement. So, she was going to
marry that Cornell man. Amos had
seen him only once. and for some rea-
son that he couldn't explain had taken
a dislike to him. In spite of the mans
undoubted good looks, there was some
thing hard in his makeup. something
perhaps that only another man would
detect He doubted very much if a
man Of that type could make woman
like Betty happy. Betty was so ten
der. Her emotions were so easily
aroused.
Amos remembered the first time he
had seen her. 1t had been during his
