Tomorrow planetary aspects are
variable. In the early hours and
until about II am. they are ADVERSE
Immediately thereafter, they become
favorable and actively so, and these
beneficent conditions continue until
about pm. They then revert to the
adverse stage. although, at brief
intervals, there will be sensed vibra.
tons of a stimulating character. In
a day marked by such diversity OF
influences there can be very little
done along lines of constructive effort.
and, II any such work should be con-
sidered essential, it should be car
ried out between the hours of II am.
and 5 pm. 1t would be more advis-
able however, to confine your atten-
ton to routine duties, and your CHIEF
care should be to maintain, In the
face Of contrary inclination. general
cheerfulness of mind and considera-
ton for Others.
Children born tomorrow will. in
order to pass unscathed through the
dangers of early infancy, require very
careful nutrition and wholesome en-
vironment. and on this more than on
doctors remedies will depend to an
unusual extent their later physical
development along normal lines.
Their characters will be dominating
and strong: their dispositions kindly
and affectionate; their tenperaments
erratic and uncertain. They will al
ways be in evidence. Their ambi-
lions will be reasonable. but not
exalted. Their ideals will be high
and their progress through life will
be marked by orderliness and con-
servatism.
II tomorrow is your birthday. you
possess ah amiable disposition, with
a desire to please and never to onend.
You are naturally bright and witty.
but although the temptation often
presents itself to do so, you never in
tentionally say an unkind word or
commit an uncharitable act. You
are a pleasing conversationalist and
enjoy the regard and sincere esteem

Those who buy the dainty hand
made round garters realize the saw
ing there is in making these Access
series. 1t Is not unusual for them to
cost several dollars a pair, but they
are handmade, and all hand work
brings a good price. This is right,
for it takes skill to make dainty
articles.
Handy Accessories.
Round garters are in demand by
those who do not wear corsets and
miss the hose supporters attached.
The round sarters are sometimes
worn with the corset or suspender
ones to prevent stockings twisting
They are also desirable when wearing
negliges. for then corsets are not apt

held up. The vogue of fancy round
garters has been given an impetus
because of the short skirts. The ac-
cessories may show. and they must
be as handsome as the rest of

the shawls. is worth over $40 a yard,

here with the fleet with which he
hopes to block the advance Of the
British from Canada down Lake
Champlain this year. Since the
collapse Of the Northern Army of
the United States in June follow
ing the disa sters in Canada, the
only hope of stopping the enemy's
advance to Hudsons River has been
in the rapid assembling of a naval
force on Lake Champlafn. Gen. Ar
mold entered into this enterprise with
great energy and determination and
has heen able through sheer persist
ence to sweep away every difficulty.
His troubles in securing ship car
pentArs and supplies have been with
out end. Every last little item in
long list of requirements has had to
come long distances over poor roads,
except the timbers which have come
from the nearby forests. Sail cloth,
cordAge and most of the tackle and
1ronwAre have come from Connecticut.
while Arnolds agents have secured
both shores of Hudsons River from
Albany to Poughkeepsie to purchase
