What Tomorrow Means to You
Pisces.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
excellent until noon. They then sud
denly change, and become adverse,
continuing so for the balance of the
day. If you have in mind some i'm
portant task that requires immediate
attention. 1t would be wise to do II
during the early part Of the day, when
the signs portend success and the at
mosphere breathes optimism. At
wade you, and only those duties that.
a. a result Of exigency, are inescap
able should receive your attention.
Even In the execution Of these, 1t will
be necessary to establish equilibrium
Of temperament, as the influences
will make for hastfness and tmpul-
siveness, both in speech and action.
Children born tomorrow are des-
tined to go through infancy with few,
II any. ailments. They will be blessed
with good constitutions, and, In the
remote event Of sickness, will react
quickly to ameliorative treatment.
In temperament. the boy will be
brusque, Indifferent to the little con-
ventionalities Of society and life. and
very determined and positive, as well
as plodding. The girl will be win
some, attractive, cultured and ambi-
tious. She will be a worker, and is,
according TO the signs, rated to be-
come a success. Both boy and girl
will be loyal, possess affectionate dis
positions. and, at all times. be sincere
and truthful.
II tomorrow is your birthday. and
you are q woman. the fates have been
generous. You are blessed with q
happy disposition and a congenial
character. You are not exceptionally
intelligent, but are gifted with fund
Of sound common sense. You make
light Of troubles and disappointments,
and are an ever-agreeable companion,
and can accomplish more with your
winsome smile than another can with
toiling service. You are constant and
faithful. and are, or will be, a good
wife. and much loved mother.
II you are man, you, although
possessing many good attributes, are
| taciturn and never display your tenn.
peramental wares. You are a hard
worker, not very ambitious, and
! rather too satisfied with things as
they are. Your integrity and high
! sense Of honor are realized, by ALL
| Your quixotic loyalty and sincerity
are appreciated by your intimates.
You may not be brilliant, but are
| thoroughly dependable.
Well known persons born on that
! date are: George William Curtis. au-
thor; John Habberton, author; Will
liam Clark Russell, author; George

Charles Lamb. famous essayist; Dan

silent speech that carries the message
swifter than words. A most effective
and, II used thoughtlessly, a most dan
gerous kind OF speech.
There is the kind of person who sets
his Jaw and grits his teeth whenever
things go wrong. He jams the words
down and thinks himself a model of
self-control because he did not allow
them to overflow into stormy speech.
But they did overflow none the less.
They came as clearly as speech. One
ike pelting stones.
Tension expresses anger. The nerves
| stretch taut and the lightning races
along them and leaps to the taut
| nerves of the helpless child. There is
no need for words. If you permit that
| message to reach the child you have
| no need to congratulate yourself for
| maintaining your self-control. You
didn't. You INDUCED yourself in a fit
| OF temper as eloquent as any fiery de-
| nunciation you might utter.
You talk with your elbows. Anger
| points the elbow outward and makes
! 1t rigid as an angle iron. Sparks
/ jump from it and light where they
| may. Loosen the arms the moment
you feel the storm rising, loosen them
and turn the elbow in and rest your
| arm easily without an ounce Of weight
| on the arm of your chair. Sit down
when you feel tension creeping over
| you and ride on the crest of your
wrath out to the calm, still sea. It is
| better so.

Therefore, they lived feverishly,
eagerly, and most of them were cyni-
cal and little hard But there was
something about Martha that made
her different from the rest. There
was a certain freshness about her, q
'ewtness that proclaimed the fact that
she still cherished some Of her girl

'till a questing look, look that men
are quick to recognize, for there is
lothing in the world that men detesr

AS Martha walked into the living

Of SO. who had always been spoiled
, by women. He had never been inter-

lightly from one to another with little
seriousness in his thoughts or actions.
It occurred TO him as he and Martha
chatted inconsequentially thatit might
be rather interesting to draw this

to give her some Of the attention that
she evidently craved. After all, this
was the twentieth century, and most

twentieth century women. There was
no reason why he and Martha DENIM

That evening Martha was radiant.

DEDTVNHE CT10DTEC BY THORNTON
DELI lvlL OlOll1IIO ". BURGESS

Black Pussy started over toward the
Old Orchard. She had decided she
would prowl along the old stone wall
on the chance that she might surprise
Chatterer the Red Squirrel. or a
Mouse, or possibly Striped Chipmunk
poking his head up to see what the
weather was like. You know, once IN
of Winter. 1t was useless to plan to
catch any birds this time OF year, be-
cause 1t was only once in a while that
there were any birds on the snow
where she could have a chance to
catch them. So Black Pussy wasn't
thinking of birds. No, indeed, she
wasn't thinking of birds at all.
But hardly had Black Pussy started
down along beside the old stone wall
when in the bushes ahead of her she
heard chirp of bird. Black Pussy
couldn't believe her own ears; that
chirp was the chirp Of Welcome Robin.

Pussy crouched still, al but the tip of
her tail. and listened. Yes. that was
the chirp of Welcome Robin; and.
goodness, there was the cry of Kitty
the Catbird! You should have seen her
yellow eyes glare with excitement. She
knew that Kitty the Catbird liked
those bushes along the old stone wall
and had built nest there last Spring.
She didn't stop to think that she never
had seen Kitty the Catbird TN Winter.
Then she heard the notes of small
birds of various kinds. 1t sounded as
If there must be a party-a feathered
party-down in those bushes.

Black Pussy stole along as only Black
Pussy can. Every two or three steps
she stopped and listened. On she went,
growing more and more excited with
every step. This would be good hunt.
ing. Yes, indeed, this would be good
hunting. She was sure of it,
But presently Black Pussy began to
wonder why she didn't come up with
those birds. why she didn't see one OF
them fitting about. To Judge by the
sounds, they were moving along as
fast as she was. She had almost
reached the end of the old stone wall
yet she hadn't caught a glimpse of one
of those feathered people. Then the
twtttering and the chirping began back
Of her. Black Pussy didn't know what
to make of It. She turned about.
There was no doubt that those birds
were in the bushes through which she
had just come. Ha! She caught a
glimpse Of one. 1t was Mocker the
Mocking Bird. But Black Pussy didn'
know this. She began sneaking back
again and always that twittering and

Where All the Gall Goes.

An anxious reader-though I can

golden treasure he'd like to know
where all the gall goes after q
PERSONS gall bladder has been taken

Of the stomach after such muti!a-

Then there are a lot of related
questions concerning the not-at-all-
