What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARX BLAKE.

TOmorrowS planetary aspects are
fairly favorable, and are Of such a ma
ture as to indicate that the usual OBJ
servances and recreations Of a Sun
day will promote happiness and con-
cord. In the early part Of the eve
ming there are some disturbing fac
tors, which, If your succumb to their
influence, will promote lack OF har-
rnony and a false sense Of proportion.
Trihes promise to assume an fmpor-
tance that they do not merit, and Idle
remarks, although not Intentionally
uttered in an unkind spirit. will rankle
in your mind, unless you decide to
establish poise and maintain your &C.
customed equilibrium.
Children born tomorrow will. dur
ing infancy, experience all varieties of
childhoods ailments. None, however.
will arise from organic conditions,
and all such illnesses can be amelio-
rated, If not remedied. by well-regu-
lated Authorization and fresh air. Long
before reaching the teen age their
physical condition will be normal. In
disposition they will be susceptible to
influence and 1t will be necessary to
instil into these children's minds the
benefits of being able to say mo. p"
Their natures will be amiable, and
they will always strive to please.
They will not possess any strong con-
victions, and those they may have
will, like railroad time tables. be Sub
ject to change" II convenience or ad-
vantage should require It.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
enjoy great popularity. and deservedly
so, as you are bright, witty and
jovial. Many who think they know
you are deceived by your exterior
character. revealing, as 1t does. ap-
parent indifference and continual
cheerfulness. Underlying all this.
however. are great strength and ex-
ceptional capability. At times Of great
stress, when failure or disappointment
stares you In the face. you drop your
habitual camoufiage. and show that
you are both resolute and decisive.
You are an indefatigable worker. and
never quit a problem until you have
solved 1t or are convinced beyond
doubt, that it has no practical solu-
ton. You are q great stickler for
punctuality and strong disciple Of
conventionality. Your friends are
legion and they, one and all, respect
and admire you. Your home life is
happy, and you are affectionate and
demonstrative.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Joshua Bates, banker and
statesman; George p. Morris. poet
Robert Gould Shaw. soldier; Edna
Dean Proctor, poet; John J. Steven
son. geologist; Nathan Miller, ex-Gov-
ernor Of New York.

CHAPTER XXXVI.
After Midnight.

At II o'clock toasts were drunk
and some Of the men made absurd
speeches and then the party went
on ard the revelry increased. Betty
wondered how much longer 1t was
going to last. After Jim's scolding
she had in desperation taken another
glass Of punch. but instead Of eXhila-
rating her, II made her head ache

She wished she were different, she
longed to be exactly as Jim wanted
her to be. But she couldn't play at
love, she couldn't, for instance. en-
courage a man to kiss her on the
shoulder as Verna Graham had just
done, and when. after this incident,
Alice, who was dancing with Jim.
pursed her lips provocatively and he
stopped and kissed them lightly. Il
little pain cut through her heart.
She wasn't jealous. She knew that
kiss meant nothing to Jim, but never
theless 1t hurt her to see him do
1t. She didn't see how he could.
At o'clock she was so desperately
tired that she went up to Jim and
asked him to take her home.
He stared at her incredulously

Sullenly, Jim surrendered. Sullenly,
IN waited while she went for her
cloak and when she returned she
found him talking with Alice. They
had been talking about her. Betty
could sense that.
At last they were out in the cold
crispness OF the Winter night and
Jim, still sullen. was handing her
into a taxi. For a time neither
spoke. and then because it seemed

Mirrors cut to resemble window

living rooms, dinging rooms and halls,

Large Antique Mirrors.
Such threepar mirrors bark back
to the period when looking glass was
so difficult to make that it was man

way to make large mirrors was to
put several portions together, and
frames were subdivided to conceal the

necessity. but fashion brings them in

EVANSTON. Oct. 2o.-While the
majority of the critics are picking
Michigan to repeat its 1925 Western
Conference football conquest this
season, there's one other team that
must be given a bit of consideration.
That's Northwestern.
Fifty.two varsity grid players

for the Purple.
Some critics will discount North
westerns chance this year, for
Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite, partly
because several other conference
mentors could not find an open date,
provided a rather easy conference
schedule for the Purple. All they
have to do is to beat Indiana twice..
Purdue. Chicago and Iowa. Michi-
gan, Minnesota Illinois, Wisconsin
and Ohio State are not on the North
western ticket. The Purple already
has defeated Indiana, 20 to o. in
one of the two games carded with
the Hoosiers.

NORTHWESTERN BIG TEN
CHANCES LOOK BRIGHT
Purpe's Schedule Offers Swell Opportunity to Land High

Big Ten and the outcome OF that
clash will have no bearing on the
conference standing.
Northwestern, therefore. is in a
very good position to win or tie for
the 1925 conference lead when the
final standing is issued. The Purple
has four more Big Ten battles,
which include another clash with
Indiana and struggles with Purdue,
Chicago and Iowa.

diana Central. He was one of the
main cogs in Centrals defense.
The game with Vincennes Is the
homecoming game. Coach George
has several good men to develop
into tackles, though none Of them
has had any experience. Rabbit,
tall, rangy Dunkirk boy, has been
showing up we'll in practice, and
Anderson, a well-built lad from
Bloomfield, has been showing ability.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-There Is a
wealth of good backfield material In
Western Conference football circles
this season. This despite the fact
such stars as Grange, Britton, Muir
ren, lKerwein, McCarty, Gregory and
others of their like no longer are
roaming the college fields.
Michigan, 1925 champion of the
Big Hen. is we'll supplied with first
class backs. For instance, there's
Bonnie Friedman, picked by many
experts for All-American quarter
back last fall Friedman looks bet
ter than ever, too.
john Molenda, powerful fullback,
is another Yost player who rates
with the best. Then there's Louis
Gilbert, whose splendid punting has
done much to push the Wolverines
on to success.
Two Newcomers
Among the newcomers. Michigan
has two twinklers of big time caliber.
They are George Rich and Paul
Cook. Rich already has earned a
regular post in the Maize and Blue
backfield, while Cook is but a step or
two away.
At Ohio State, Elmer Mafek Is
back and so is Marty Karow. Marek,
highly touted in 1925, didn't shine so
I,,.iobtIv Retter things are expected
of him this year, however. Karow
looms as one of Wilce's best per-
formers.
