Platinum Goes to Court.

A famous murder trial Of the seigh-
teenth century in France brought
platinum first into great publicity.
A woman was accused of having
poisoned her husband with arsenic
The newly devised test for this was a
platinum wire. which if it came in
contact anywhere with arsenic would
Immediately form a compound with
arsenic and change color. A famous
medical jurist made the test In this
case and found as he supposed that
the murdered mans stomach had ar
senic in it. However. another man. a
chemist, had been watching the trial,
and purely on a "hunch." he believed
the woman innocent. He traced the
doctors platinum wire back to the
shop where he had bought it and
found that the apothecary who sold
it kept his platinum in a dirty case
that had traces of arsenic in it. The
woman who was condemned to die,
was saved. like the heroine in a movie
at the last minute.
Now, what do you know about that?

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

TomorrOW's planetary aspects are
not very favorable, although by no
means adverse. They do not en-
courage effort. but rather indicate
equanimity of mind and contentment
with existing conditions There is
no reason why the observances and
recreations of a Sunday-and 1t
| would be we'll to confine your atten-
ton to these-should not prove en-
joyable.
Children born tomorrow will suffer
during infancy from variety Of all
ments, but none Of these need cause
alarm or anxiety. The signs denote
that they will. in due course. attain
IL healthy adulthood. Their char
acters will be on a firm foundation.
They will be truthful, sincere and
loyal. 1t can be expected that these
children will, in later years, achieve
a considerable measure of success.
If tomorrow Is your birthday you
do not possess a very strong char
acter or a striking personality. You
are amiable and rather disposed to
agree with any one rather than pro-
woke an argument. Strong convic-
ton is unknown to you and your
temperament IS negative rather than
positive. Your friends are numerous
but none Of them ever approach you
or seek your advice in their dif1cul-
ties. Your desire to please Is al
ways transparent and sometimes
situations require surgical treatment
rather than homeopathic remedies.
In your own mild way you are. in
certain degree. attractive. but self
effacement never causes such a
strong impression as justif1able
aggressiveness.
You are fastidious and f1nicky and
are always careful-unduly so-of
external appearances and while
gifted with intellectually of a high
degree never succeed in capitaltzing
this for what it is worth. Your
ambition is limited and you are con-
tent with things as they are and al
ways look with misgiving on any
thing that involves change or re-
form.
In your home life you experience
great pleasure in it's ease and COM
fort, but are never too willing TO
do anything to make 1t easy and
comfortable for others.
Well known persons born on that
date are: John /. Blair. f1nancier:
John B. Cough. temperance lecturer;
Willard Glazier, explorer and author:
Melville E. Stone. journalist; Maud
Powell. violinist.

HOW 1T STARTED
New BroomSSweep Clean"
By JEAN NEWTON.

A woman VINO hd great deal of
trouble with servants was waxing en-
thusiastic over her new maid. so
glowing was her description that the
girl seemed indeed to be paragon of
all the virtues and domestic accom-
plishments. But the woman's friend
was canny. She had heard previously
high praise of maids whose virtues
after a short time. had turned to
faults Wait, she said. New
brooms sweep clean
The saying is no mere bit OF modern
slang. Its use is traced back as far
as the latter part of the sixteenth
century. when we find it in 'Euphues,"
by John Lyly. the English dramatist
and romancer. who lived from about
1854 10 1906. He said. "Ah, we'll
wot that a new broome sweepeth
cleane." In another well-known work
Of the same period. Heywoods Pro

old saying that is used in modern
speech, VIC find il az follows:

CHAPTER XLVIII.
A Change in Barry.

During the first few days after
Leila's departure from his home.
Richard was almost desperate. lie
had known that he cared for the girl,
but he hadn't realized that he
loved her as he did. 1t was as II she
had taken the very breath OF nfe
with her, and the shy new hopes
that had crept up like tendrils in the
srayness of his heart seemed dead.
He knew now that it had been some
thing to feel her presence in the
hours, to know that she was under
his roof But now he had no idea
where she was, and the fear that he
might never see her again was 50
strong at times that he almost gave
way to the temptation to throw
everything aside and go in search
of her.
If it hadn't been for Barry he
might have done this. but since Leila
had left. Barry had undergone a
change Instead of relapsing into his
dissipations as Richard had feared.
Barry had surprised him by getting
himself a job selling bonds, and on
the night he had told his father about
it there had been a simple boyish-
ness about him that had secretly de-
lighted the older man.
II won't get much to start he had
said, with a grin. but wait till I've
been at 1t awhile
The two men were in the library
when the conversation took place. and
Richard said everything he could to
encourage the boy.

he offered, land if you need any advice
that l can give, just call on me"

Waistline Now Creeping Upward
BY MARY MARSHALL.

recently shown collections in Paris 1t
is creeping upward. But it is creep
ing upward more rapidly in front than
In back. That is important. All Sum-
mer the waistline was discernibie in
the bathing costumes Of well dressed
young women, who followed the fash
ion of wearing Straightforward belts
with their bathing suits. These belts
were worn scarcely below the normal
waistline--a1ways a trif1e higher in
front than in back.
For several seasons one has noted
the tendency to define the waistline
on the part of numerous young Amer
ican girls. You have doubtless seen
them wearing straight, scant little
one piece frocks with the string sashes
placed in the position of the old-fash-
-.oned waistline. giving them an odd
short wasted appearance that you
perhaps did not admire. Now, as a
matter of fact, Paris had nothing to
do with that fashion-knew nothing
of it save when some ingenious
young American girl appeared in Paris
following this homegrown fashion.
There may have been something
prophetic about this high placed belt,
for in nearly all of the late Summer
collections a distinct raising of the
waistline is to be noted. Sometimes,
as with Redfern. there is no waistline.
But then the bodice is distinctly mold
ed in at the waist in a. manner that
suggests the fashions Of 1880.
