Wednesday, December s.

Astrologers read for tomorrow signs
that presage marvellous progress in
education and all that pertains to
intellectual advancement. Under this
rule, there may be tendency toward
irritability and ill temper, which
should be controlled.
The sway Is threatening to domestic
happiness, for jealousy is easily
awakened while this rule prevails.
Mars is in an aspect denoting heated
debates in legislative bodies, and Con-
gress is likely to be the scene of the
bitterest party disputes.
Foreign powers will have numerous

there appears little prospect of any
thing more serious than diplomatic
crises.
Again warning is given that the

Municipal improvements Of every
sort continue under the most stimu-
lating influence Of the stars but cities
are warned against putting the COM
ing generations under heavy debt

Publishing is to receive a tremen.
dous impetus. it is forecast, and there
will be reason to be especially in

Earthquakes and mining disasters
have followed the prophecies of the
seers, made at the beginning Of the
year, but they are to be experienced
again before the close Of 1927.
Mexico, Peru, Colombia and Vene-
zuela are likely to have many exciting
incidents to record, 1t is prognosti-

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
How One Girl Managed.

After you've gone and got yourself
married to man-and wake up sud
denly to find that he has half a dozen
habits which are slowly driving you
| crazy-it's rather too late to get rid of
the man.
But something may be done about
the habits, If you have the tact and
perseverance to go after them in the
right way.
It's an unpleasant thing to find that
the man you've chosen as your life
companion Is fond of things particu-
| larly distasteful to you.
Perhaps If you'd known of these
things before marriage you wouldn't
have married him at all-this reflec-
ton drives you into a deeper state
| of misery.
It's better not to speculate idly on
what might have happened If you'd
only used your head and waited a
while-it's better to accept calmly the
final fact that you are married, and
must make a go Of 1t. somehow or
other
When it was gradually borne in on
Helen that her husband wasn't her
ideal lover at all, but strange. blus-
tering fellow with boorish manners,
she was tempted for a while to sit
down and weep bitterly over her
ruined life.
Then with a snap she pulled her.
self together and decided that 1t was
up to her to see that her life wasn't
wrecked-to get rid Of the habits
which were making her life misera-
BILE. instead Of trying to push off the
old husband.
She didn't proceed to nag the err
~
his behavior
Nor did she plead with him to cut
out the rough stuff and behave more
as q gentleman should when friends
came to the house.
She just calmly accepted his many
peculiarities as part of the natural
scheme Of things, and set about imi
tating him-his actions, his manner,
his carelessness in dress-all the
things about him which were tending
to make her unhappy.
Philip gaZed with surprise at the
rude. loud, noisy Helen who suddenly
appeared one evening in place Of the
quiet, charming young person he'd
married. He stared at the soiled,
bedraggled dress she was wearing,
unable to believe his eyes.
He nearly died of the shock when
he watched her table manners. and
heard her casually invite one of the
guests to run out to the kitchen"
If she wanted a drink of water
there's plenty out there!'
After those guests had departed
Phil attempted to solve the mystery,
but Helen mystified him still further
by exclaiming in surprise: But, dar-
ling, don't you like me that way? I
thought I'd please YOU"
Phil was no great brain wave, so
that it took several weeks Of this
sort of thing to make him realize
that his little wife was giving him
an accurate imitation Of his own de-
lightful self.
Shamefacedly, then, he started
making efforts to improve a little bit.
And as fast as he showed progress
Helen discarded her new mannerisms.
OF course this system wouldn't
have worked with a man who hadn't
q grain Of common sense about him.
But it's a very striking example of
one girls plucky determination not
to sit down and cry Failure" over
marriage that looked pretty dismal
for a while. 1t may be Of some help

Her laugh awakened him and he
