What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Copyright. 1926.)

TomOrrows planetary aspects are
favorable until about pm, when
they undergo a sudden change and
become adverse, with depressing inf1u-
ences, which remain in force during
the balance of the day. The early
hours provide an opportunity, not for
any new undertaking or enterprise,
but for a revision of what has already
been accomplished, and there will be
sensed a clearness of vision whlcN VIII
enable you to take practical steps
against the repetition of error. Dur
ing the adverse period it will be~ad-
visable to do as little as possible. and
to seek relaxation or rest, although
attention must. of course. be given to
work of an obligatory nature. Efforts
should also be made to control the bad
disposition that will be engendered by
the unfortunate influences. and this
applies especially to the home circle.
Children born tomorrow will enjoy,
during infancy, fairly good health.
This does not mean, however, that
they will be entirely free from sick
ness. but it does signify that they will
have a fairly normal condition of
physical robustness. During their
teens the signs denote that they will
show satisfactory development. and,
in course of time achieve a strong and
vigorous maturity. Their dispositions
will be rather rebellious. and they will
show a distinct tendency to want their
own way in everything and when
thwarted, they will display resentment
and anger. They will, however. be
truthful and never evasive. and the
| bad traits in their makeup can very
| easily be eradicated. provided they are
J tackled at their first appearance and
consistency in treatment is maintained
| thereafter.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
are more guided by emotions than by
facts, and rely altogether too much on
what you consider your intuition. You
are inclined to go off at half-cock, and,
Notwithstanding the many times that
| the inefficaCy of this treatment has
been revealed, you still persist in the
same foolish course. When you meet
person you do not wait to get ac-
q,lainted until deciding whether you
like him or not. or whether he is
worthy Of your regard. You jump at
conclusions and they are, of course.
| very often erroneous. You are not
communicative, and if you think any
one is trying to get information from
you. even though it would not hurt
you to give it, you can be, and most
generally are, battling.
You are fairly ambitious and re-
sourceful, and you are very much de-
voted TO your home and capable of
great love. possibly at first sight

ton, inventor; Joseph Wheeler, soldier

opposite sides of each dish just before
serving, SO they were crisp and perky.
The salad course consisted Of cucum-
bers on dressed lettuce leaves. The
dessert was unique. for 1t consisted
Of ice cream deliCately favored with
peppermint and tinted green. Over
the cream was poured hot fudge
sauce. Doesn't it sound delicious? 1t
certa inly made a hit. If none of you
have tried this way of serving or of
tinting and tiavoring ice cream let me
recommend 1t.
Various Features.
Cakes to serve with the cream had
green icing with pistachio nuts in the
center tops. The confections were
various assorted green candies. Each
course had its touch of green and
some of the courses featured II de-
cidedly.
Unique Decorations.
a simple method of decoration is TO
use foliage only instead of flowers and
foliage Feathery foliage such as
ordinary fern with occasional grape
leaves. is a good combination. If you
live where you can get lunches Of
wild green grapes or any green berries
they add decidedly to the decoration.
Nut Baskets and Doilies.
Green paper nut baskets can be used
if you have nuts on the table or they
can be served on large green leaves.
Green leaves we'll washed can be used
instead of plate doilies and large serv-
ing dishes can be wreathed in green
leaves.

My Neighbor Says:

When cane chairs are sag
ging in the seat, If you turn
them upside down, wet the seats
with soap suds, soak them we'll
and allow them to dry. the cane
will stiffen to it's normal condi-
ton.
When serving afternoon tea,
if you pour a few drops of hot
water into the saucers, enough
to Just moisten them, you will
find the cups will not sip about
on the saucers when you are
passing them to your guests.
Cucumber peel has been found
to be very efficacious in rid
ding the house of cockrOacheS.
1t should be scattered round the
kitchen in the evening, particu-
larly into the corners of the
room. The insects soon discover
the peel, which to them acts as
a poison.
To cleanse white satin, rub it
with the grain with very dry
bread crumbs slightly tinged
with washing blue. A scrap of
old white silk should be used to
apply the bread crumbs and the
satin well brushed afterWard
with a soft brush.
Cantaloupe should not be pre-
pared until one is ready to serve
1t. If it is cut and allowed to
stand for any length of time
with cracked ice in 1t, the flavor
is entirely destroyed. If spe-
cial chilling is desired. pack the
cantaloupe in cracked ice with
out cutting and let it stand for
a few hours.

Reddy Fox and Jimmy Skunk were
prowling along the beach, looking for
something new and interesting, as we'll
as for something to eat. Now. Reddy
had learned by this time that there
were quite as many interesting things
to see in the water as could possibly
be found outside the water. You will
remember how he had seen Pa Sickle
back in his home, and Pa Sea Horse
and his family, and that queer fellow,
the Barnacle. who stands on his head
and kicks his feet in the water to get
his food. All these Reddy had seen in
the water SO it was that he never
passed tide pool without approaching
1t softly and looking into it to see if
he could find something new there.
AS Reddy is much quicker than
Jimmy Skunk in all his movements, he
usually was some little distance ahead
of Jimmy. So it was that Reddy was
the first to reach a certain pool which
the outgoing tide had LETT. When
Jimmy Skunk came up with him, Red
dy was staring down at the. bottom of
that pool, and there was a funny look
on his face. What are you looking
att" asked Jimmy.
"You tell me-" replied Reddy.
Jimmy came to the edge of the little
pool and in his turn stared down. Il
don't see anything" said he.
Use your eyes, retorted Reddy.
''There it Is right down there"
Jimmy winked and blinked and
stared but still he couldn't see any
thing, and he said so. Il don't see a
thing" said he, but sand
You come around here; stand be-
side me-" said Reddy. Jimmy did.
"Now," continued Reddy, you look

do you suppose it is alive?" Jimmy
asked.
II haven't the least idea" replied
Reddy. but I'm going to find out"
How are you going to find out?"
demanded Jimmy.
I'm going to roll this little stone
in there and see what happens" re-
piled Reddy.
That's a good idea" said Jimmy.
So Reddy rolled the stone until 1t
fell into the little pool with a splash,
almost on the queer thing at the bot
tom. And then a very strange thing
happened. Yes, sir. a very strange
thing happened. All the water in that
little pool turned black. 1t was for
all the world as if some one had emp
tied a bottle of ink in there. They
couldn't see the bottom at all. That
strange thing they had been looking
at had disappeared. 1t had disappeared
because the water had turned black,
and Reddy and Jimmy could no longer
see through it. They had often seen
a fish on a muddy button stir up a
cloud of mud, but this wasn't mud.
No. sir this wasn't mud. The bottom
Of this little pool was pure sand.
There was no mud in it. Reddy stared
at Jimmy and Jimmy stared at Reddy.
What do you know about that?"
said Jimmy slowly.
Il don't know anything about it,
retorted ReddN. why don't you ask
sensible questions?"

White Orchids.

Wandering swampy woods the
other day, I came upon little
meadow spangled with strange
white flower. Coming closer to the
delicate spires, / found them to be
orchids, beautiful, stately things with
long grass-like leaves and marvellous
little flowers. There was a long back
ward-curving spur where the nectary
was hidden deep, and the lower lip of
the flower was cleft in three, each lobe
most daintily fringed. An odor at once
delicate and penetrating stole out
from the flowers, and when / brought
some home they filled all the room
with their perfume.
Some people prefer to regard flowers
mystically: they do not care to under
stand their structure nor learn their
names, but wish only to think of them
in an emotional way--pretty flowers
and bad weeds. About no family of
plants in the world is there so much
gushing as about orchids: the high
cost of tropical orchids and the per
sonal beauty that 1t takes for a
woman to wear them successfully, are
undoubtedly responsible for this. AS
a result the commonest little greenish
inconspicuous orchid is 'raved about"
by some people, or proves great dis
appointment to others who expect of
our bog orchids as much as the tree
perching tropical species. Actually
there are in nature no such orchids as
we knox in greenhouses, because
triple hybrids have bred a race far
exceeding in size and splendor any

The Nation Is Christened.

PHILADELPHIA, September 8,
1776.-"Resolved, That in all conti-
mental commissions, and other instru-
ments, where, heretofore, the words
United Colonies have been used, the
stile be altered, for the future, to the
United States.'"
BY the passage of this resolution to-
day Congress has officially christened
this new nation. The resolution might
we'll be called a second Declaration
of Independence. The declaration of
July was proclaimed as the unani-
nous declaration of the 13 United
States of America and the term
United States" has been frequently
employed since. Now it becomes
formal, official and final.
The adoption of an official seal turns
out to be a less easy task than the
selection of a name. On July 4 DR..
Benjamin Franklin, Thomas jefferson
and John Adams were selected as a
committee to design a seal. They have
not announced their selection, though
many designs have been recommended.
Each member Of the committee has
suggested a device which embodies
his own idea as to the ideals of the
Nation.
DR.. Franklin suggested: Moses lift
ing up his wand and dividing the Red
Sea, and Pharaoh in his chariot over
whelmed with the waters, with the
motto, Rebellion to Tyrants Is Obedi-
ence to Cod
Mr.. Jefferson's proposal was: The

tive scheme for a bedroom.
Night has furnished the inspiration
here--appropriately. you must agree.
The panels are violet-blue on a wall
shading from deepest midnight blue
at the ceiling to dusk blue at the floor
line. Silver stars pierce the night of
these walls and the silver note is re-
peated in the cloth-of-silver window
draperies.
The beds are blue with silver stars
and the bedspreads are orange-yellow
silk, the color of the rising moon. The
carpet Is velvety black-as black as
still water rejecting the night sky.

since not all the children are fed. or
should we increase the supply?
If the questioner will send his data
to a statistician he will doubtless re-
ceive reliable information that public
worship and suitable lectures reduce
criminality, although this is not the
prime object of worship or lectures.
The ma jority of the inhabitants OF
New York hear no sermons or lee
lures on the Lords Day. When the
uuestioner has compared their pro
rata criminality with that of the
number of criminals among people
who do attend sermons and lectures
regularly he will have the answer to
his question. 1t should be conclusive
for him. even though 1t may be unex-
pected by him.
ATLANTA. Ga.
Who was the pulpit orator su-
preme in Professionalism during the
eighteenth century? One of my
friends declares for Edwars. whose
sermon on Sinners in the Hands of
an Angry Cod made his hearers
clutch the pews in front OF him. I
stand for George Whitefield. Am
right?
Answer-Whitefeld was In no re-
spect the intellectual equal Of Ed
wards: in fact, In learning and theol-
ogy he was his docile and unques-
tioning pupil. But he surpassed his
master as a pulpit prince. Prof. Will
liam J. Thompson. an authority on
the question. declares that Whitef1eld
preached $4,000 sermons over a wider
area and to more people than any
predecessor or cotemporary in
