What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrows planetary aspects are
variable. In the morning they are ex-
cellent; in the afternoon adverse; in
the evening benign. This is another
of those days on which any task Of
importance must receive your atten-
tion during the forenoon. Relaxation,
II possible, should take the place of
initiative effort after noon. The eve
ming, however, can be safely given up
10 the enjoyment Of family or social
ties.
Children born tomorrow, during
early infancy, will enjoy excellent
physical conditions. Prior. however.
10 reaching their teens" their all
ments will give rise to worry and anx-
.ety. There is nothing in the signs
that indicates anything, but a sue
cessful outcome and the attainment Of
normal maturity. In disposition,
they will be very self.willed and. at
times, quite stubborn. When they dis
play marked unwillingness to become
amenable through affection. force
must be used, no matter how distaste-
full such a task may be. Underlying
everything, however. these children
will have hearts of gold, and their fu-
rure will depend very largely, more so
than usual, on environment in their
early years.
II tomorrow is your birthday, you
are dissatisfied person-not only at
loggerheads with yourself, but with
others. You are rarely, If ever, happy.
Ono Of the chief causes of your discon-
tent Is that you are too self-centered
and. naturally, selfish. In all your ac.
tions. you are guided by thoughts Of
self, and never give a thought to the
convenience, desires or wishes of 9th.
ers, You, however, are subject to Pc
RODS Of emotionalism, and can easily
persuade yourself that you are liberal.
considerate and kind and never fail to
try to impress this on those with
whom you associate. You might fool
yourself. but YOU never fool others
This is the explanation Of the paucity
of friends from which you suffer and
of which you so often complain.
You are very capable, industrious
and honest. All this, however, counts
for very little, unless you overcome
the besetting weakness of devoting all
your talents to the furthering Of your
own selfish purposes.

BEAUTY CHATS
A Good Scalp Treatment.

In the majority of cases where
there is any trouble with the scalp,
outside Of actual disease, the trouble
can be corrected If the blood is given
an opportunity to circulate freely
through the scalp. We abuse our
scalps and hair for years and years
and never realize this until we find
that we have poor hair in both guam
tity and Quality.
We live in overheated houses and
forget to give the hair enough fresh
air to counteract this bad feature We
rarely notice if our scalp muscles are
loose over the skull bones until we
find the hair dropping out, and some
hair specialist tells us what a tight
scalp we have.
