BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
none too favorable and are not of
such q character as to inspire conf
dence or engender much optimism.
The influences will be more patent so
far as disposition and temperament
are concerned than work attempted or
accomplished. Where, however. an
optimistic temperament is lacking and
courage is not present, not much sue
cess can be prophesied for any under
taking. 1t would therefore be advis-
able to concentrate as much as possi-
BILE OH the work that has to be done
some time when the omens are more
encouraging.
Children born tomorrow do not
promise in their early days to reveal
much either of good health or Of pull
chritude. They will be more or less or
a Weakling nature, and more than
ordinary care must be given to their
a.imentation, while plenty of fresh air
is necessary. Once this ticklish period
is past, they will show wiriness which
will enable them successfully to bridge
all further physical obstacles. and
they will be self-reliant and resolute.
They will possess personality in
marked and in an attractive degree,
and will not only charm but will at
tract. This gift, added to their inner
ent ability, will insure for them an
exceptional degree of success.
If tomorrow is your birthday ami
versary. your mind is a very keen one.
You possess very clear vision, have
sound and reliable judgment, and
your actions are always ruled by hon
est intentions. You are very thorough
and competent in your work, and the
only criticism that can be applied to
you in this respect is that you some
times minimize important things in
order to devote your time and atten-
ton to details. You have very little
confidence in the efforts of others, and
are firmly convinced that if you want
anything done we'll you must do it
yourself. You are quite resourceful
and versatile and show great amount
of determination in the execution of
your plans.
You will be an indulgent parent, too
much SO. possibly, for the sake of chill
dren, but you will certainly inspire
affection, and your friends, who are
legion, will be stanch and sincere.
Well known persons born on that
date are: James Brown, soldier, Sena.
tor and judge; Sterling Price. soldier
and Ex-Governor of Missouri; James
Pollock, Ex-Governor of Pennsylvania;
Henry G. Bowen. merchant and edi-
tor, and William S. Macy. artist.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.


Not all the wall flowers In the
world are adorning the wall Just be-
cause they lack the beauty and charm
possessed by other girls. There are
many mournful maidens lined up
against the shelf through curious
mischance.
1t doesn't happen very often. U.s.
ually, the unpopular girls got that
way because they missed something
necessary for popularity. However,
once every so often a case comes TO
hand which makes one wonder II
there is any justice.
Take little girl like Molly. living in
a nice suburb, growing up with several
boys and girls her own age, dreaming
OF glorious future, gay with parties
and dances. AS she approached the
age where it would be proper for her
to sally forth into the social world,
she had few vague pangs of alarm.
She looked around with a feeling OF
depression to discover that, of her
crowd, almost every girl had some
special boy to depend On--some old
faithful who would always be on hand
to act as escort
Somehow, although Molly was well
liked, thoroughly agreeable, attrac-
tive and smart, she'd lost out.
ANo RSaALAS0h1I A1hCi ACA- NV
well trained Romeo was always at her
beck and call, waiting to see that she
always had an invitation to dances
and parties.
She was an outsider in her own
home town. The other girls went out
with their schoolday friends, and met
other men who in turn invited them
out.
Molly, with no one to launch her,
so to speak, hadn't the slightest op-
poftunity for meeting and attracting
new men.
And she was too proud to ask her
friends to help her out. She sat at
home, wishing some one of the old
crowd would just give her a chance,
SO that she could get out. too.
There wasn't a thing in the world
wrong with her. There wasn't one
of her friends any more attractive
than She-yst. by bad luck, she'd lost
her proper chance.
Now there are quite a few MOllyS
in the world-all of them nice kids,
who, if they moved away from their
present homes, probably would have
the time of their lives in some other
locality.
Yet they're neglected and lonely in
their own home towns, with their
friends all about them.
Those Mollys of the world must
learn to swallow their pride and ask
their friends for assistance.
They must admit frankly that they
want good times and that they need
some sort of golden opportunity be-
fore they can hope for success.
Unless ones friends are thoroughly
selfish and dull, they'll help the un-
fortunate out.
The girl who finds herself an out
slider, through no fault of her own,
shouldn't wrap herself up in her icy
pride and refuse to ask for help.
Just one introduction TO new man
might change the whole course of her
existence, make the hometown boys
sit up, and change her status from
that of an outsider to an insider.

Clues to Character
BY j, o. ABERNETHY.
The Hermit's Face.

Persons who have the faculty of
friendship well developed are natur-
ally sociable and hospitable. They
delight to keep their latch strings
out" at all times, not only to intimate
friends, but to acquaintances and
friends of theirs, because they really
enjoy it.
Without the faculty of friendship
all men would be hermits, and isola.
ton, instead of association, would be
the rule. In building up a friendship
one should estimate it as so much
capital invested in one of the most
substantial things of life, and il
should never be severed except for a
good cause.
Vanity bestoWS IS attention on per
sons of supposed rank and distinction
or wealth, but there is behind this
action an ulterior motive. You can
easily distinguish the natural. hos
pitable, friendly Individual if you pay
attention TO the upper lip, particularly
at the outer third of the mouth. When
this faculty is high, you will find the
under membrane section of the liI
near the closure of the mouth will
be thick. and inclined to turn up.
Hermits and misers exhibit by thei,
faces. as well as their habits, all lack
of sympathy and understanding for
their fellow beings. They have nc
desire to mix and mingle in society
AS a rule, they present a shriveled
and wrinkled appearance, with long
thin faces, fat, pale cheeks. and thin
ashen-colored lips.

BOSTON, September 10, 1776.--Less
than three years ago tea was so un-
popular in Boston that the people,
rather than let British ships land 1t
on their wharves, threw it into the
harbor. But all that Is changed now,
since tea can be had, untaXed by the
King, and Boston has had another
tea party Of a most sociable nature.
The persons concerned are none other
than the wives of those stalwart pa
triots, Mr.. Samuel Adams and Mr..
John Adams, second cousins, now
members of Congress in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Samuel was the hostess and
Mrs. John was the guest. Quite as it
should be, indeed. especially as Mrs.
John was just recovering from inocu-
lation for smallpox and a mild stimu-
liant was most timely. But it hap
pened 10 he Mrs. Johns tea that her
hostess poured for her, and the party
might easily have become grounds for
separation between the two Adams
families, if not between one or both
of the Adams couples.
John bought the tea and asked a
Mrs. Yard to ask a Mr.. Gerry to take
It to Mrs. John. but he was uneasy

Tonsils and Adenoids.

Certain common causes Of nasal OBJ
struction (mouth breathing) in chill
dren often overlooked when children
are operated upon for enlarged tom
sils and adenoids'' are nasal polyps,
enlarged or thickened turbinate or
spongy bodies in the nose Qaymen
speak Of excision of portions of these
turbinate bodies as having "bones" re-
moved,. sinus infection, and sometimes
foreign body lodged in the nasal pass
age.
In certain busy "clinics" and in the
offices Of certain born nose and throat
specialists the operation comes first;
the proper examination of the patient
is left until later if the patient
fails to derive the anticipated benefit
from the hasty surgery. People who
simply must have a specialist" for
everything little reck the sins of onlis-
sion which are committed by these
same pet specialists. People who Inn
agine physician is a better trained
or better educated or more skilled
physician because he purpOrts to be a
specialist need a guardian to watch
over them.
1t is a shocking fact, at least I find
it so. that the wholesale operator in
his clinic sometimes has his first sight
of the patient after the patient is
anesthetiZed for the operation. This
might be perfectly proper and right
If the diagnosis OF the enlarged tonsils
or the enlarged adenoids had been
made by a qualified physician,
It is not quite so shocking. perhaps
though deplorable enough, that nurses
employed in communities where medi
cal inspection is in vogue are encour
aged to attempt the diagnosis of 'ade
noids," and in some instances nurses
actually send parents notices that
children have "adenoids" and should
be operated upon.
Even the trained physician is not
warranted in making a diagnosis oi

Leg Development.

Exercise, and only exercise, will de
velop the lower part of the body. 1t
YOU have fiabby legs, and badly
shaped hips, or if you are bulky and
fat all over, the same advice applies
exercise until you have strengthened
the weak muscles, or reduced the un-
necessary flesh.
Dancing Is probably one of the best
exercises, If not the very best. for leg
development. You never saw a pro-
fessional dancer with ugly legs! The
mere act of dancing, with the whole
weight of the body on the toes and
the balls Of the feet, brings into play
various sets of muscles down the
backs of the legs, which ordinarily
are not used 10 such an extent.
Fancy dancing is several times more
valuable as developing exercise than
ballroom dancing. SO if YOU can join
a dancing class, do so. You will get
a quarter or a half hour of general
gymnastic exercises first. to Timber
up stiff muscles, and then training
in folk dancing or fancy dancing
which will make you more elastic,
more graceful. and which will keep
your figure slim and young.

your room that way while you are
dressing; and at odd times during the
day, walk br run about the house on
tiptoe. 1t is surprising how much
good this will do you. 1t may seem
silly, but it will develop your legs, it
will strengthen them and it won't
take any extra time, which is a
consideration for the busy woman.
