Irish Potato Famine.

The good old Irish spud was really
not Irish at all, but came from the
Andes of South America, where In
dians cultivated 1t first. Nobody
knows who introduced the potato into
the Emerald Isle. All we know !:
that 1t was not. as some people
claimed, brought over by Sir Walter
Raleigh from Virginia to Ireland, be-
cause it didn't grow in Virginia, and
Raleigh was never there in his life.
anyway. But whoever did bring the.
potato to Ireland did lot Of good and
a lot of harm at the same time.
The Irish peasant, kept down oy
starvation, found In the potato new
and cheap food. SO much so that In
60 years, from 1885 to 1S45. the popu
lation of Ireland increased from 2.00O,-
900 to 5000, 900 souls; marriages were
generally made by people In their
teens and every family had large
numbers OF children. But when the
potato disease hit Ireland in 1845 th'
population bubble of Ireland burst.
and hundreds Of thousands. already
living on the cheapest of foods. had
nothing to fall back ON and starved to
death. The immigration to America
was so heavy that an anti-immigra
tion secret society was formed called
the Know Nothing party, that actu'
ally ran @ candidate for President.
And all on account OF the humble
potato.
Now. what do you know about that?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
/. The microscope was invented in
ancient times: the modern compound
microscope was invented by the Dutch
biologist Lowenhoek.
2. Flying machines" Of theoreti-
cal sort were planned by many in
ventors of history, among them Leo
nardo da Vinci, but who invented the
first practical airplane is disputed.
Clement Alder in 1891, In France, and
Langley in 1896 are claimed by some
to have made practical flying ma
chimes before the Wright brothers in
1908.
8. Gunpowder was invented by the
Chinese and independently reinvented
by the German Schwarts In 1920. A
previous invention by Roger Bacon Is
claimed but cannot be proved.
4. The first invention OF the tele-
scope may have been made by Roge-
Bacon, but the first practical tele-
scope was made by Lippershey In
Holland In 1909.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Pisces.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
variable. In the morning they are ad-
verse. in the afternoon favorable and
in the evening negative. Under these
conditions. and as the encouraging
signs are of only brief duration. it
would be better to defer until some
more convenient season any task of
Importance and confine attention only
to routine work. During the morning
there is liable to be sensed Crouch"
feeling, and more than an ordinary dis.
position to look on the dark side OF
things. This will be replaced in the
afternoon by u tranSttory atmosphere
Of exhtlaration, which, IL encouraged,
may lead to as disastrous results as a
Crouch" In the evening there will
be an entire absense Of stimulating vi
brations, and restful rela xation is rec.
Ommended.
Children born tomorrow will, accord
ing to the signs. enjoy normal health
conditions during infancy. although
much attention should be given to
their regular nutrition. The critical
time. from the physical viewpoint, in
their young lives will develop Just
prior to the attainment Of manhood or
womanhood. Temperamentally, they
will be reserved and introspective.
They will not show signs Of aggres-
SlVeneSs, but VIII be philosophical and
do great deal OF thinking They will
be acQu!sitive Of information and
much more devoted to study than to
play or recreation. They do not appear
TO have much material success in
view for them, but, in their own self.
sufficient way, they will get a great
deal OF happiness out of life

Feminine Versions of the Tuxedo
BY MARY MARSHALL.

siderable popularity consists Of a black
velveteen dinner jacket with satin
lapels. straight, scant skirt Of trouser-
worsted fabric, pique vest and lace
jabot. This you may see depicted in
the sketch. Sometimes the velveteen
jacket is worn with short scant
skirt of black and white plaid.
Sometimes these new suits are sim.
ply called "smokings." To understand
this you must know tnat the tuxedo or
dinner jacket is thus known amons
smart Frenchmen. SO it Is the conven-
tional tuxedo that has inspired this
smoking" suit that has been men
toned this Spring whenever O'Ros-
sen. the famous French tailor. is
talked about. One Of O'Rossen's
smoking" is Of navy serge trimmed
with braid and worn with a white
crepe de chine frilled blouse. The low
waistcoat is also of blue serge.
OPossen, it would seem. designed
these serge and similar suits for day
time wear. But the more formal black
velveteen jacket with cloth skirt, and
white silk vest, he really intended fer
evening wear. Sometimes for these
evening suits the cloth skirt is Of
violet with the velvet jacket to match.

CHAPTER XXI.
Natalie Again.

The second time that Perry saw
Natalie and Lucien Bartlett together
he was with Martha at the theater.
Natalie and Lucien sat two rows
ahead Of them, but. although Perry
recognized Natalie instantly, Martha
did not see her.
Perry found himself answering
Martha in monosyllables. while he
watched Natalie. She and Lucien
talked very seriously between the
acts. their heads close together. Once
Natalie turned her head in a startled
fashion to look into Lucien's eyes. and
Perry was startled at the strained
expression on her young face.
In some unaccountable fashion he
found himself furious with Lucien.
What was he saying to the child to
make her look that way? Obviously
he was arguing with her. trying to
make her see something from his
standpoint. Up to this moment Ma
talie was apparently only half con
vinced. but there was no doubt of
the fact that she was attracted to-
ward Lucien and Perry found himself
more concerned than he should have
been.
Something urged him to interfere
in thee matter, and yet how was he
to do ssuch q thing? He might say

After all. II was none of his affair.
and Martha might hesitate to censure
In her daughter a proceeding which
she evidently felt was all right for
herself.
For the first time Perry began to
take account Of his friendship for
Martha. OF late there had beer
something In her manner toward him
that made him feel that she was
taking their friendship TOO seriously.
His conscience smote him a little, and
yet, after all, what had there been
between them? Nothing of any con-
sequence. When he had drifted into
this thing it had been with no serious
intention, and he had believed. of
course, that Martha had felt the same
way about 1t. but suppose he had
been mistaken, suppose some serious
complication developed from what he
had supposed an innocent enough
filtration.
The thought was not pleasant. It
made Perry vaguely uncomfortable
He wished now that he had never
yielded to the temptation of seeing
Martha, and quite on impulse he
turned toward her and said evenly:
isn't that your daughter just ahead
of u.s."
Martha started and leared forward.
Why. yes" she said, a little breath
lessly, "it is Natalie"
"She seems interested. doesn't she?"
Perry said. after a moment.
Yes. she does" Martha agreed.
and Was suddenly ashamed of herself
for feeling that the evening was
somehow spoiled What had been be
fore a delightful adventure. an eve
ming alone with Perry, was now
something entirely different. Nata-
lies presence had broken the spell,
had turned her from an attractive
and much-admired woman into a
mother. She found herself wonder
ing who Natalies companion was.
The two were so obviously absorbed

up on the second act they did not

but went on talking, their heads close
together. Was Natalie really inter
ested in this man? And if so. who
was he? Martha wondered II by
chance Perry knew him. She decided
to ask him just as soon as the cur
tain went down, and Perry was not
exactly surprised when at the end
of the act she put the question TO
him.
You don't happen to know Ma
tales friend. do you?"
Perry tried to seem casual.
