Taurus.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
distinctly adverse, and continue so
until early in the evening. when they
become fairly encouraging. During
the day a serene attitude is needed
as, from time to time, there will be
sensed sentiments Of dissatisfaction.
and there will be present symptoms
of nervousness and worry. If in
dulged in. these undesirable influ
enceS will affect not only your
thoughts, but your actions. and the
only way to counteract them is by
strict attention to routine work and
the maintenance of poise. The eve
ming can safely be given up 70 Ell
tertainment, and the signs denote
success for all social or family re-
unions.
Children born tomorrow will escape
most of the ailments from which in
fants generally suffer. They. accord
ing TO the signs, will display
tendency during their teens to out
grow their strength, and this will re-
Quire careful watching, and such
remedies as will build up their con-
stitutions. Their characters will be
appealing. although they will possess
a reserve force that will enable
them to overcome difficulties shat

They will be alert, vigorous and
painstaking They will face trouble
with a smile and are fated to eXude
happiness.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
are altogether too morose and intro
Spective You take life altogether too
seriously, and this condition is brought
about by a woeful lack of any sense
of humor. You are plodder, think
great deal-in fact. altogether out OF
proportion to your line OF action You
rarely, if ever, enthuse and by your
mood dampen other peoples lightness
of heart and never bring into any
gathering that measure of congenial-
ity that attracts and charms. In at
fairs of the heart you are devoted to
one and one alone: but this idealism
does not afford as much happiness as
such an association should, as a re-
suit of your righteousness. Life, for
most of us. is rather drab affair.

know a thing about the Old Pasture.
He didn't even know what part of it
he was in. He hadn't the slightest
idea where that cowpath led to. So
when he reached the place where the
path forked and there were two paths
instead of one, Johnny sat down. He
was uncertain. He didn't know which
to take, so he took neither. The Merry
Little BreezeS who were with him
grew impatient. "Why don't you go
on, Johnny Chuck?" they cried, as
they danced around him.

Without another word away raced
some of the Merry Little Breezes.
Some danced away down one fork and
some danced away down the other.
Johnny Chuck remained right where
he was. Presently one of the Merry
Little Breezes came hurrying up from
the path to the right and at once

nose with a scent he had found

"Explain?" Florence's voice cutting
in on him was suddenly cold and a
little sharp. Aren't you exaggeratfng
the importance of the incident? This
is the twentieth century and we are
living in a college town. 1t isn't an

forced a laugh.

The college boys were always con
strained with Richard; Merton more
than the others. She hadn't expected
him home so early. She had wanted
time to straighten the matter between
herself and Merton. She hated the
idea of having him leave with any

Feverishly she kept talk going.

from taking his leave. Perhaps
Richard would so upstairs after he
had finished his 1ea. She didn't need
much time, only a moment for a quick
look of appeal. an impulsive hand
clasp and her mind would be at rest.
But Richard did not go upstairs.
He sat on. maddeningly drawing out
stereotyped remarks. AS she sat
there Florence mentally contrasted
the two men. How had she ever
come to marry him? He was still
young in years. but mentally he was
a fossil. lie had never been young
and alive like Merton. His repres-
sions had always kept him from

Johnny started down that particular
