! Chuck can't climb a tree he shouted
over his shoulder and scampered up in
a young apple tree.
AS soon as he reached the first
branch he turned to look down and
grin provokingly at Johnny Chuck
| 1t was right then that Chatterer got
the surprise of his life. Yes, sir, he
| did so. He got the surprise of his life.
He had expected to look down into
a pair of angry eyes glaring up at
| him, for he had expected to see Johnny
| Chuck stop just under the tree. In
stead of that he looked down just in
time to see Johnny Chuck start up
that tree. Yes, sir. that's what he
I saw. Now the trunk of that tree was
straight and it never had occurred to
Chatterer that Johnny Chuck could
possibly climb it. But Johnny did
climb it. He rushed straight over to
the foot of that tree and up he came
toward where Chatterer was sitting.
Chatterer was so startled as he saw
Johnny coming up that for a moment
he lost his voice. You should have
seen him turn and race up to the top
of the tree. He didn't waste any time
about it. He went up to the top be-
cause there was no other tree near
enough for him to jump across and the
top was the only place for him to go.
He was a sacred squirrel. He forgot
all about being saucy and impudent.
You see, Johnny Chuck came right UP
to the first branches and Chatterer
didn't know how much further he
might come. AS it was. Johnny Chuck
stopped when he reached those first
branches, and there he sat looking up
at Chatterer and grinding his teeth
and making the most unpleasant
sounds, sounds that sent shivers chas-
I ing each other up and down Chat
terer's backbone and way out to the
tip of his tail.
$50 I can't climb a tree, eh?"
growled Johnny. III show you. I'll,
show you whether 1 can climb or not.
If / ever get hold of you, you'll wish
you'd kept that saucy tongue of yours
STILL
Chatterer was keeping it still then.
He was keeping it very still. He con-
| tinued to keep it still all the time that
Johnny Chuck sat there. Somehow
he didn't feel a bit saucy any more.
All the impudence had been startled
out of him, and oh, how he did hope
that Johnny Chuck wouldn't take it
into his head to climb any higher.

What I TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE
Taurus.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
decidedly adverse, and although better
conditions are glimpsed from time to
time, these are only periods of very
brief duration and do not justify any
excursions into the unknown or un-
tried. 1t will be found advisable to de-
vote all your energies to the conscien-
tious carrying out of customary duties
and the day can safely be considered
an unpropitious one for the launching
of any new enterprise, or for the effect
ing of any radical change. 1t will be
necessary to exercise a good measure
of self-control, as there will be sensed
a. marked tendency to impulsiveness
and 'going off at half-cock."
Children born tomorrow, although
destined to escape any serious all
ments during infancy, will be sub
jected to a variety of minor sicknesses,
all of which can be alleviated by care
full nutrition and healthy environment.
The signs denote that they will attain
physical normalcy long before they
while net as cheerful as they might
be, will be readily amenable to affec-
tionate influence, and obedience to
those they love will be one of their
most engaging traits. They will dis
play keen interest in their studies and
will readily assimilate what they read
or what is taught them.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are exceptionally talented and bright
and are quite conscious of the fact.
This self-appreciation, exaggerated as
it is, tends to make you rather over
bearing and domineering. You lack
an appreciation of money for moneys
sake and your aspirations are entirely
for power, in the office, the home or
social circle. You want to outshine
every one else, not for any gain, but
for the satisfaction of personal pride.
You forget that Ito know the pains of
power, we must go to those who have
it; to know it's pleasures, we must go
to those who are seeking it. The pains
of power are real, it's pleasures imagi-
nary"
Your home life could be rendered
much happier If you were disposed to
be more conciliatory. Your social re-
lations would be more pleasant If you
were not always coveting the position
of others.
Well known persons born on that
date are: John Lowell, philanthropist
Matthew Vassar, philanthropist; Sep
timus Winner, composer; Theodore d.
Wilson, naval constructor; Irving Ber-
lin, song writer.

bag is ready for use.
Working Materials.
A more elaborate bag is made by
darning in the BACKGROUND in a con-
traSting color of wool, which, by the
way. must he coarse and of good
strong quality. Use a large blunt
creWeI or tapestry needle, and a dou-
BILE thread or double weaving. 1t is
well to have one of these needles for
each color. AS cross stitch designs
can be used just as advantageouSly
as filet designs, the embroidery can
be brought in colors of artistic appeal.
Beadspread Design.
\ wonderful dishcloth bag is made
by copying the design and colors in
some old hand-woven blue and white
bedspread. Or the design can be de-
veloped in entirely different shades.
such as orchid and yellow, gray-Sreen
and dull blue, mulberry and gray, etc.
BY dyeing the d!shclothS, before en-
broidering. them the mesh makes a
background that does not need work
ing. For color, use the same tone of
merceriZed sateen for the lining as
that employed for the embroidery, and
the effect is handsome.
Many Artistic Uses.
There are many things besides bags
that can be made by embroidering
dishcloths as described, as. for eX-
ample, sofa cushion coves. and
scarfs for tables. For pillow covers
the embroidered dishcloth is used as
an insert in coarse linen, denim, bur
lap. etc. The scarfs may be of
natural toned linen or of other ma
terials. Finish ends with dishcloths
which are embroidered. Or several
dishcloths can be fagotted together or
overlapped for one mesh and run to-
gether through. meshes in both to
make the length desired. Ends may
be finished with fringes or with a
heavy crocheted lace. y picoting put
about the entire length of a scarf gives
good finish for the sides.

Preparing to Be Good Wives.
BY MIMI.

There's an irate mother yapping at
my heels. She says my columns are
full of advice to the modern girl about
how to have good timeS-but nothing
is said about how to be good wives.
DO you realize" she writes, that
the world is full of girls today who are
planning to marry at some time or
,other, and making absolutely no prepa-
rations for the big step? Why don't
you write some sensible advice about
the necessity for training to be
good wife, instead of urging your read
ers to earn their own livings, be III
! dependent, dress and dance well, and
let coo'ting go hang?"
Dear lady, there are plenty of nice
| young things in this world going

There is a little friend, Molly, who
has solemnly applied herself to cook

Her mother kept her in--didn't let
her dash around with the rest of the
| crowd-told her enCouragingly that
when she got ready to choose hus-
band, there would be a dozen for her
| to pick from because all men wanted
good home makers.
When Molly was 10 and her mother
decided there was nothing she didn't
know about keeping the home fires
burning, the little housewife was per
| mitted to cast eyes at the gentlemen.
She had a few dances given her at
which she was a total loss.
While she'd been learning to make
| beautiful popovers, and do fancy en-
F., broidering, her friends had studied the
art of making themselves attractive.
She could do exquisite needlework,
but they would do the Charleston and

Poor Molly was a flop. The only
man who ever took her out was her
cousin, bribed by his mother to he

And her frivolous little playmates

Don't forget that a good wife must

Preparing TO be a good wife necessi-
tates just as much attention to dress

to baking and busting.
It's a wise thing for girl to learn
to please a good husband with her
