What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Capricorn.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
lnauspicious during the forenoon. and

found necessary during those early
hours to maintain poise and exercise
self-restraint, as the temptation will
ever be present to ''f1y off the handle, :"
and make yourself ridiculous. After
noon, the conditions improve, and "A
more settled atmosphere prevails, de
noting stimulating vibrations. without
however, creating an urge to do any
thing out of the ordinary. The as
poets favor all sorts of recreations
and pastimes, and this will also make
for success in all family and social
reunions.
A girl born tomorrow will give very
little worry on physical grounds dur
ing her infancy. She will. however.
have at least one more or less serious
Illness during her teens" and at this

waiting for Mr.. Rogers to speak.
His response was not enthusiastic.

She had not expected him to give her
any idea of what he really thought of
her talent. either, SO that she was not
disappointed. What he did say was
matter-of-fact enough. but it filled
Rosalind's heart with triumph.
Not bad. not bad at all. Your

The Story.

When the prince told the millers
daughter that she had saved him from
an enchantment she did not under
stand.
AT my christening" he explained
'all the noblemen and fairies presented
me with beautiful gifts and good
wishes. All but one old, ill-humored
fairy, who said | would never reach
manhood if l touched foot to the
ground before l was IL years old. The
day before my twelfth birthday my
nurse dropped me to the floor and i
came under this lonely enchantment
from which 1 could be saved only
when some one did me a kindness. You
have done that for me-
Then the prince took the miller's
daughter by the hand and led her to
his father.
The princes costume is dark blue
with a. bright red cape, and he has a
red feather in his blue cap.

with spoon and pour into the flour
sitter. Sift five times at least; six
or seven times is better still. Put
Immediately into an air-tight con-
tainer. A scant teaspoonful of this
homemade baking powder is equal to
a slightly rounded one of ready pre-
pared baking powder, since it con
tains nothing but the two ingredients.
If the recipe has added TO it n small
amount of cornstarch. one sixteenth.
for instance, the same amount of the
homemade should be used as that
which is bought ready prepared. The
cornstarch tends to keep I. mixture
light and free from Jumps.
Leavening Agents.
The leavening or raising agent in n
baking powder is the carbon dioxide
that is liberia ted by heat and chem
ical action in mixtures. The neces
sary element of cream of tartar may
already exist in mixtures in which
sour milk or other acids. such as
fruit juices. are used. Then soda
alone should be used. Scant meas
ures of soda are generally recon-
mended in recipes of this sort, for
the amount of acid to be balanced is
apt to be equal to two scant parts
of cream of tartar. Therefore one
scant part of soda only Is needed.
Most recipes calling for molasses take
soda, not baking powder. If the
housewife likes. a very small amount
(such as one-Quarter or one-half tea
spoonfuD of baking powder may be
used as we'll as the soda in recipes
requiring soda only. Whether this Is
best or not is a moot question among
housewives.
