What Tomorrow Means to You

BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrcw's planetary aspects are

favorable. In the morning nothing
that involves change or that demands
initiative should be essayed 1t will
also be necessary, if the best results
are desired, to exercise self-cOntrol
and fOrbearance, as there will be
sensed feeling of Disappointment and
grouchiness. In the afternoon. al
though there are no positive assur
ances of successful progress, the
plans that you may have had in con-
temptation in connection with your
work may be set going; but great
activity should be reserved for some
later and more suspicious occasion.
Children born tomorrow will, dur
infancy, enjoy normal health, and
although they may not be immune to
all the ailments of childhood, those
to which they will be subjected will,
one and all, yield very readily to or
binary treatment and remedies. The
signs denote most uneQuivocally that
they will attain a healthy adulthood.
In disposition they promise to be hon
est, truthful and fairly Industrious.
They will not display any special tai
ent or marked ability, but invariably
can be trusted to carry out what they
are told to do both we'll and con
scientiously. They will prove to be
more adapted for work of a Subordi-
nate character than that dema ndins
initiative.
If Tomorrow is your birthday.
YOU possess a great degree of courage,
both mental and physical, and you
never allow yourself to be discouraged
as a result of failure. In fact, dis
appointment only serves to spur you
on to greater effort. Youo are strong
hearted. and very positive in your
tastes. and downright in your actions.
If your opinions were not quite so
fixed. and If, indeed. YOU were more
pliable, success would probably be
achieved by you in a larger measure.
and with less expenditure of time and
energy. Your intellectually is of a
high order. and you foster and feed
it by the reading Of good books. as
we'll as by association with people of
liberal education. You never lose an
opportunity for endeavoring to i'm
prove your material and spiritual
condition.
Your mind is quite philosophically
inclined never satisfied with the find
Ings of others, but always determined
to solve problems for and by your
self. The probabilities are that you
are, or will be. happily married.

her.

lightly. paraphrasing her words ~
the day before.
II thought so. too" she returned
quickly. but l was mistaken"
An absurd feeling of disappoint

Can It Be Dry Cleaned?

Very little of your clothing doesn't
require cleaning at some time in its
life. Lately we've been sending a
great deal of our things to the dry
cleaner Dry cleaning removes stains
and spots without running textures
and fabrics. Unfortunately. not every
thing we buy and wear can be dry
cleaned.
Articles such as composition but
tons and painted beads on high priced
suits and dresses give trouble. One
of the hardest materials to dye is fur.
SO furs that have been dyed to initiate
other furs or merely shaded cannot be
clea ned ordinarily by the dry cleaner.
If YOU give to a dry cleaner any
article which has leather trimmings.
make certain that it's properly dyed.
Leather dyes are quick to fade.
Chrome tan leather is usually the
safest to be cleaned. All dyes aren t
fast, and when YOU buy a garment
it's worth while to ask your merchant
whether IT is guara nteed fast color.
There are many articles that will
shrink AT the dry cleaners. You
may have had experience with your
menfolks' flannel trousers or wool
sweaters. Most wool fabrics will
shrink a little and sometimes it only
takes a. small shrinkage to make a
garment unfit TO wear.
You will want to send unwa shable
goods in particular to the dry cleaner

to be practical Lamp wicks can be
wiped off with dry paper napkins. and
the lamps themselves can be rubbed
lightly with them to insure no drop
of oil remaining on the surface.
Paper napkins that have been used
at a meal are excellent to wipe off
the dishes. They will remove grea Sc
and make the porcelain much easier
TO wash afterward. BY wiping out
frying pans with paper napkins the
work of cleaning them is cut to half.
The napkins can be thrown away,
and thus the washing Of dish towels
is made the minimum. The labor
saving idea is decidedly efficient
Mussed paper napkins make excellent
busters and substitutes for cleaning
cloths. They are first aids to eff
cheney.
Large Assortment
These are but suggestions for
some Of the many ways of utilizing
the napkins apart from their speci
fed purpose. When discussing that
we find that the ordinary paper
napkins are now supplemented by
larger and more substantial kinds.
that are much more like cloth. Those
who object to the fiimsy little paper
napkins find these more TO their
liking. Some napkins have borders,
but all-white ones are faVorites.
Paper Handkerchiefs.
Many persons uses white paper
napkins for handkerchiefs when they
have colds in preference to linen
ones. They are thrown away after
using. This is a sanitary method,
and IT also follows Japanese
fashion.
Decorative Uses.
When it comes to the ornamental
paper napkins their use far outruns
that of napkins merely. Motifs can
be cut from them to ornament place
cards, or to decorate paper lamp
shades which are afterwards painted
either with clear or amber shellac or
liquid sealing wax. The motifs are
even used sometimes to decorate
trays. and other accessories. and to
ornament painted furniture when
the person painting it hesitates to
do original work because she Is not
an artist. 1t must be remembered
that such use of paper napkin
motifs necessitates shellacking or
liquid wax painting after they are
glued to the articles. Otherwise they
would be too perishable.
Children Enjoy the Work.
Children delight in this form of
work. 1t lets their ina gination play
and any artistic ability in arrange
ment of motifs has a scope. Try
giving a child a tin tray, some glue
and few napkins and watch re-
suits If YOU don't like the decora
tives the motifs can be washed off
without harm being done the tray,
and the child be kept amused with
the same work another time

CHAPTER XLIV.
F1itzie and Ronny.

After her rebuff of the morning
F1-itzie avoided Ronny and in spite
of his infatuation for Mona he was
conscious of it. He felt that the
girls dark eyes rested on him with
an expression Of scorn in their
depths and. for some reason that he
couldn't explain. he didn't want
F'ritzie's scorn.
He hated the feeling that she dis
approved of him. He would have
liked suggesting a game of golf with
her, but he doubted If Mona would
like it and he didn't dare take the
chance.
On Saturday night Edith organized
an exciting game. The guests We're
to pair off and drive by devious routes
to an inn. where they would have
supper. The ones arriving first would
get a prize. No husband and wife
were allowed to drive together and
when Ronny saw FritZie paired off
with Fred Everett feeling of distaste
swept over him. She was so young
and fresh and unspoiled to be alone
with a man of Fred Everett's type.
He said as much to Mona.
She laughed lightly.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Obesity.

Mrs. w. d. l.. writes: plea Sc adj
wise me regarding the feeding of my
I-month old son. who weighs 20
pounds. He is now getting 80 ounces
of milk and 10 of water in feelings.
He wakes every night at or
o'clock and demands to be fed. Dur
ing the day he gets baked potato
with one vegetable mashed in it.
Farina once or twice a day. beef
broth. creamed soup occasionally;
junket and custard. He receives one
bottle. Can you advise me regarding
the night feeding. also if you think
he is getting too much milk
Answer-This is a lot of food for
baby of months. though he is now
almost the size of A year-old child.
He does not need the night feeding
and l do think quart of milk a da Y
is more than he should have at this
age. If You will eliminate the night
feeding. that will bring the daily total
down to the right amount,
Potato is not included in the child s
dietary until IS months of age. He
gets cereal and bread stuffs and sugar
in his custard, etc. and so does not
drate (starch).
safer than just MASKING it, for the
mashed vegetable contains the indi-
gestible cellulose, which is strained out
when sieved.
The only way to stop this night
bottle, in the case of this we'll fed
bouncer. is to offer only a drink of
water when he wakes. For a few
nights he will undoubtedly make the
echoes ring, but he doesn't need the
food at his present weight.
Mrs I. c. B.-I am answering your
letter personally and sending you the
leaflets you wanted. At months a
we'll and healthy child will sit with
it's back unsupported and will keep
it's head balanced. There is undoubt-
eddy some nutritional lack when a
child of this age cannot balance its
head at months.

questions pertaining to babies and children.

Swapping Up the Chin.

Your chin line should not lose its
tirmness and youthfulness until you
are 80 at least After that age the
soft flesh under the chin may sag
and will need artificial aids to keep it
firm looking. Here are some sugges-
tons for putting off for many years
the middle-aged profile. For sag
ging chin will make the side face
middle-aged though the woman may
be scarcely 20.
First of all rub under the chin with
a little cold cream, rubbing vigorously
if there is a pocket of flesh which is
spelling the face. Hold the chin well
up and work from its point down into
the neck. Then wipe off the cream
and rub the skin for or 10 minutes
with a lump OF ice rolled in an old
handkerchief or bit of muslin. This
is all that Is necessary If the chin
line is just beginning to go.
But if the line is very bad. or if it
has been neglected for some years,
YOU must strap up the chin in con-
nection with this treatment Strips
of old muslin ? inches wide will do, or
