What TomorrowMeans toYou
BY MARY BLAKE.
Gemini.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
favorable until late in the afternoon.
They then become overcast ana de-
note adverse influences that will more
affect the emotions than activities.
During the day, the task that you
have had in mind for some long time
past, but have not, for one reason or
another, put into execution, can be
essayed with every probability of ulti-
mate success. provided always that 1t
does not imply speculation or risk.
Even ordinary routine work will be
benefited by the conditions that pre-.
vail at this time. In the evening re-
sort should be had to recreation and
relaxation, as there will, otherwise,
be sensed an urge to cavil or to find
fault.
Children born tomorrow will enjoy,
during infancy. ordinary physical
conditions. Just prior to reaching
their teens, they are liable to suffer
from, at least, one serious illness,
that will take time in yielding 10 the
prescribed remedies; they promise,
however, to attain 4 normal adult
hood. According to the signs. they
will possess temperamental disposi-
tions and their environment will eX'
ercise an exceptionally strong in
tluence on their characters. They viii
be very assiduous in the study OF
those subjects of learning that appeal
to them, and success can safely be
predicted for them, if they are allow
ed, without restraint, to choose their
own career.
II tomorrow is your birthday, you
lack aggressiveness and selfassur
ance and stand sadly in need of
more selfconfidence. You possess
rather an unusual degree of ability.
but your inherent diffldence often
causes you to step aside for those
with inferior qualifications. Your
pleasing manner, at all times suave
and never dictarorial. wins many
friends for YOU, and all who know
you hold you in the highest regard
and esteem. You, although having
very decided and usually reasonable
convictions, never air them in public,
and you are generally content TO
tacitly agree with others-even with
those who express themselves con-
trarily with your own ideas.
The lack of aggressiveness IS also
displayed in your love. You pertain
to be the clinging type, and are never
compelling. 1t is fair to assume, and
1t is also to he hoped. that your mate
will be of the masterful type. If this
be SO. such q combination should re-
suit successfully, as a happy medium
will thereby be established.

CHAPTER XLNI.
The HOMECOMING.

The next morning at L O'Clock Jean
got off the train at Hamilton. She
had had a good time with Julia. 1t
had been fun to be with her and talk
over old times. and above all it had
been fun to tell about the elopement
and Con. She had been careful not
to mention Mrs. Morgan.
But although Julia had coaxed her,
tempting her with a theater party to
take place the next night. she had re
fused to stay any longer. 1t was her
/ first separation from Conrad since
their marriage. For the first time she
had been where she could not kiss
him goodnight and she simply couldn't I
remain away any longer.
A rickety old fiivver drove her up
from the station and she let herself Ill
with her key. Conrad met her in the
small entrance hall, and she was just
about to fling herself on his breast
when it struck her as strange that he
was home at this hour. Then she saw
his face. 1t was haggard and drawn
and his eyes looked as IL he hadn't
slept for nights.
She dropped her bag and went to-
ward him with outstretched arms, but
he put out his hand and held her
away from him.
Where have you been?" his voice
| was harsh, terrible. 1t had been the
same on the night Merton had
| brought her home from the Oranges
| and Con had waited UP for her. Jean
| resented that tone, and colored hotly
i've been with Julia in Boston"
You're home earlier than you eX'
pected. aren't you? he said with q
sneer.
Yes, | took the first train l could
get"
II see, very touching. You love
Hamilton so much that you couldn't
stay away a minute longer"
| Jean was not meek. she was high
spirited and her eyes flashed fire. u
don't know what you're insinuating
Con. now what it's all about. Am
to understand that you think i was
| not in Boston,"
How innocent you are" he went
on sneeringly. ANY one TO look al
| you would swear you were capable oi
being trusted But, you were careful
not to let any one see the letter from
! Boston, weren't YOU? And you were
careful to burn it at the first oppor
tunity."
Yes. I did burn it. | suppose your
mother told you that
Never mind mother. You've al
ways been unreasonable where she
was concerned, you've hurt her al
| every possible chance. and I've al
ways sided against her and with yol

asked quietly. and the very quietnes:
of her tone seemed to anger him th'
more.

you till this hour in the morning."
The cruel words beating in on
Jeans consciousness turned her faint.
For q moment she couldn't speak, her
throat felt paralyzcd, but at last she
faltered weakly
What has Merton to do with me?"
Conrad laughed scornfully. What
indeed? IL you wanted to be with him
so much why did you marry me, why
did you, why? Can you tell me that?"
He came up to her and seized her
by the shoulder. Frenziedly he shook
her back and forth until she swayed
as he released her. 1t seemed to him
ut that moment as if he must be going
mad. Through the blur that misted
his vision he saw Jeans face. sweetly
pale. He saw her eyes wide with
Mortified amazement. he saw her
mouth dropping at the corners. and
he loved her even as he hated her.
When he released her. she stepped
back from him, and without a word.
took up her little overnight bag, and
went out of the house.

Delicacies For the Home Table
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

the mushrooms, scraping the stems
and cooking them, too, after cutting
them up. Fry delicately in butter over
q slow fire, being careful not to let
them burn, which they do quickly.
Draw the pieces to one side of the
pan and add flour enough to make a.
sauce by thinning with water and stir
constantly to prevent Jumping.
With Bechemal Sauce.
In another pan fry slice of a good
sized onion, a tablespoonful of carrot
cut in cubes and a dessertspoonful of
turnip, also diced. Season with salt
and pepper and thicken as you did the
mushrooms. Mix this bechemal sauce
with the creamed mushrooms. The
proportions given are for one-half
pound of mushrooms. The flavor Of
the mushrooms is not quelled by the
sauce. for there should be about one
quarter sauce to three-quarters
creamed mushrooms. The few pieces
of carrot give colorfulness. A strip of
pimento cut in sliverS and also one of
sweet pepper cut fine give color. Serve
this bechemal mushroom sauce on
buttered slices of toast. There will be
sufficient for five servings.
MarrOns (Chestnuts).
Marrons give wonderful touch to
desserts or to ice cream. They come
in small bottles and the contents go "a
good ways. For instance, instead of
having ice cream with marrons, you
can have rice Bavarian in individual
molds with a marron sauce poured
over. The sauce is made of boiled
sugar and water with the marron
pieces in it. II there is not sufficient
in the jar dilute with more of the
sirup. Or YOU can use marons as
edible garnishes for desserts, such as
gelatin. jellies, cornstarch desserts,
etc. The large French chestnuts are
used for the bottled marrons.
Cherry Garnishes.
MaraSchino cherries and candied
cherries are not too expensive to be
used for garnishes. One cherry on top
of ice cream or whipped cream that
tops individual dishes of tapioca, gela-
tin molds or several other sorts of
dessert transforms the usual to the
fancy dessert.
Unsalted (Fresh) Butter.
I may add that fresh butter is a
delicacy especially enjoyed by cpl
cures. At certain seasons of the year
ltS Cost Is proIlpltlNe lof tle average
purse. but just now it can be had for
very little more than other butter. OF
course, prices of butter fiuctuate from
day to day. but il one is on the look
out for the nice foods at the lowest
prices they may often be procured.
Do not consider foods as beyond your
purse until you see if they cannot be
utilized so that they may be enjoyed
without taxing the purse strings. AS
you see, there are WayS--and means
