What Tomorrow Means to You
Pisces.
BY MARV BLAKE

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
favorable and indicate success in al
most any line of endeavor, but not, of
course, in the sphere OF speculation or
risk. Not only is it a good opportu-
| nifty. for work of all descriptions; it
also favorS sports and pastimeS, as
| well as travel. The signs denote very
clearly that marriage solemnized un-
| der the auspices that prevail will cul-
inmate in happiness and be free from
those untoward circumstances that
bring disaster to so many welded cou-
| pies.
Children born tomorrow will not
have a very happy infancy. They
promise to suffer from many ailments,
| although none of sufficient gravity to
| warrant apprehension or to justify
alarm. They will. given proper atten-
ton. achieve physical normalcy. Tenn
peramentally they will. in their early
years. be more evasive than truthful.
but as they grow up and learn to ap
| preciate the foolishness of deception
| they will become straightforward,
frank and sincere. These children will
be more amenable to reason than to
| force. and although very often their
vagarieS will counsel a resort to the
latter. 1t will be advisable, If the best
results are sought, to stay the hand.
If tomorrow Is your birthday you
have discovered the secret Of true hap
piness. You find that that which gives
the greatest contentment is service.
You have trained yourself, although
| the habit Is inherent, to forget your
self and to do at all times for others
that which you would like done for
you.
You are intelligent and capable You,
however. make no effort to capitalize
these characteristics in a material
manner, but are content to devote your
intelligence and use your capabilities
for the sake of others. You are, of
course, imposed upon. but you can
generally separate the wheat from the
chaff. and even when you do find out
that you have been wronged or cheat
ed, you show no resentment, nor does
such an incident cause any slackening
OF effort on your part.
Your home life is happy one, as it
Is the center of your activities. You
are loyal and constant mate, and
your love of children is one of YOUR
outstanding characteristics.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Henry W. Longfellow, poet;
John G. Gilbert. actor; William B.
Franklin, soldier; Horatio r. Storer,
| surgeon: Arthur L: Perry, political
economist; Russell A. Alger, soldier
and governor.

Now. then, any girl with half a

something for herself in the preceding
paragraph. The moral is as plain as
boy shlngle. and nothing can be
palmer or uglier than thai. In order
to make sure that you may not get
the analogies crossed. let me draw the
scientific conclusions:
Thin folks who would get plump
should dress lightly.
Fat folks who would reduce should
dress lightly.

Jay was losing a little more Of his
temper with every beat of his wing.
Presently Sammy arrived quite out
OF breath. He began to look about in
every direction. The crest on his
handsome head was standing up. 1t
was plain to see that Sammy had
come to pick a fight. Thief, thief,
thief.' he screamed Almost instantly
OF hemlock trees. Over there flew
Sammy, SO angry that he could hardly
scream. 1t was one thing for him to
call another person a thief, and quite
another thing to be called a thief.
What Sammy thought was that
strange Jay from far away had come
to the Green Forest, and Sammy
didn't want him there. He intended
to drive away, and do 1t without any
waste Of time.
Ndw, as Sammy flew toward that
clunfp of hemlock trees Mocker the
Mocking Bird slipped out on the other
side and into another very thick hem.
lock tree. So, Of course, Sammy found
no one. He screamed again, for his
temper was quite lost by this time.
Right away some one screamed back
at him. Over to the next hemlock
tree flew Sammy, but already Mocker
had slipped out Of it and flown to an.
other hemlock some distance away.
There he screamed again, just like
Sammy Jay. Sammy was the most
upset Blue Jay you ever saw. Yes,
sir. he was so. He was so angry that
he didn't even notice Reddy Fox grim
ming up at him. Straight for that
other tree flew Sammy. When he got
there, of course. he found no one but

Where is that other Jay?" demand
ed Sammy, after he had looked all
through the tree.

| Mocker innocently. Il haven't seen
one anywhere. He certainly isn't
here" And this Is all the satisfaction

Dress and WEIGHT.

seemed long, I have pondered the

whenever my compassionate eye rests
on these depictions Of advanced
phthisis. and I think how terrific the
traffic crush along the Atlantic City
Boardwalk would be if a bevy of these
bOny lasses were turned loose in bath

over to Ocean Grove or Hoboken.
Seriously, it seems as though the
phthisical type is steadily increasing
despite occasional lectures from pro-
fessors Of hygiene and physical in.
structors on posture and pulchritude.
Prof. Daniel B. Leary, the psycholo-
gist, recently pointed out the modern
artists fondness Of portraying simple
goiter when idealizing the pretty girl
for the magazine cover, goiter being
so common that the artists now con-
slider it normal. While, as already
noted, the holy fright has long pro-
tected the feminine precincts Of our
popular periodicals from masculine In

phthisical figures are readily dis

good excuse for keeping warm. On

Children nowadays are more and
more reckless about going through the

You may Just bet 1t is, if the young
sters find it comfortable, and each
child who Is not an imbecile knows
when he is uncomfortable with cold
or wet. Even the small skin surface
thus exposed to the air. skyshine or
occasional flashes of sunshine, makes
the custom one which no health au-

Golden Salad,

With a potato ball scoop make tiny
golden balls from boiled carrots. Curl
celery by putting the we'll washed
stalks in cold water for half an hour,
and then cut into long. very thin
Siivers. Keep in icy water long enough
for the pieces to curl. Then put the
curls in a salad dish and pile the
golden balls on top. Just before serv-
ing pour French dressing over all.
After it is brought to the table the
hostess should toss the salad. With a
spoon and fork, the salad should be
lightly lifted and turned several times
to thoroughly marinate in. This Is
called tossing the salad.
