Aries.

Tomorrows planetary aspects are
variable. In the morning they are
adverse. In the afternoon they be-
come benign without being actively
favorable. In the evening they are
excellent. 1t would not be polite to
initiate any new enterprise under such
unstable conditions nor would a
change of any radical nature be pro-
ductive of the results anticipated. The
advisable course TO adopt is that of
least resistance, and by attention TO
ordinary duties you will escape the
pitfalls which more energetic action
may create. In the evening. all social
affairs WILL be crowned with success
and it iS-an auspicious opportunity for
lovers to enter into engagements, as
there will be sensed a responsiveness
that can only be productive of happi-
ness.
Children born tomorrow will, accord
ing to the signs, escape most of the
physical difficulties of infancy. They
promise to attain maturity without
any disquieting setbacks. Tempera-
mentally q boy will be Self-centered
and, at the same time, introspective.
He will be of a dominating character
and possess exceptional will power. He
will rarely seek or heed advice and
consider himself self-sufficient. In all
probability, he Will achieve large
measure of material success. but In
doing SO will create many enemies and
make few friends. A girl, on the other
hand, will display tendencies of weak
ness and show very few signs of hav-
ing a mind of her own. She will not
set much store by learning. but will
trust to her natural charms.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are more guided by impulse than by
deliberation. You both speak and act
on the spur of the moment. and often
have cause to regret your hasty words
and action. You are highly nervous
and, although extremely active, your
activities are not always well directed
or fruitful of results.
You possess average ability, but this
is not used by you to the best advan-
tage as, before you have completed
one task, you are off on another. A
little more consistency and tenacity
of purpose would insure success.
You are q demonStrative lover and,
if mated with one born in August or
October, your home life, although it
may lack material prosperity, should
be ideally happy.

taken to football games and theaters,
given engagement rings and led to the
altar.
But Jean just plods on--the old
faithful-the old standby-the girl
who always could be depended upon
to sympathize and understand.
No one has ever proposed to her.
Few have ever asked her TO go 10 "a
dance.
She's good looking and well dressed.
What's the matter with her?
1t all lies in her attitude-her man
ner toward the stronger sex.
She started out wrong. She began
by looking interested and sympath1Z-
ing when they mentioned their wor-
ries. That's not bad in itself. but she
| followed up this by begging all the
lads to tell her their troubles.
This they did eagerly. They loved
| telling Jean their troubles.
After that she used to ask them
simply If they were perhaps i'll love
with some one.
And spurred on by her sweet com
| passion. they broke down and told her
all about the Best Girl.
Jean listened gladly, gave the Best
| Girl a. few friendly bouquets, congratu-
lated the boy on his good taste, and
| sent him away fully convinced that
| he was in love with the most wonder
| full girl in the world
| Jean is to be admired for her un-
selfishness. her good sportsmanship.
| But she ought to be knocked solemnly
| on the head for her lack of technique
! and failure to acquire d few sweet
| hearts herself.
How does she expect to make boy
sentimental about her. il she harps
| on his other Sweethearts?
How can she make him sigh and
whisper sweet nothings TO her when
| she's busy persuading him that he's
| in love with some one else.
Jeans sister, Alice, isn't taking
| any Of that pal sort of treatment.
| If Andy tells Alice that he believes
| he's falling for Mary. Alice says wist

And what about poor little me-"
| And Andy asks himself with in
terest: "NVell what about Alice?

| No. Alice isn't unselfsh. She cuts

| dangerous.
Still she has a good time-and in

Always do the other girl a good

SPRINGTIME
Naturalist in the Garret.
By ROBERT CULLEN.


With the promise of Spring in the
air, | was moved to go up to the attic
to get my miSCroScope and clean II up
for the coming seasons work. a
naturalist may find something to IN
tereSt him even in garret. and THIS
time it proved to he the dead husks
of some waspS that had crept i'll un-
der the caves last Fall and died OF
starvation.
The outside of an insects body is
far more miraculous than its inside,
for it is made OF chitin. the most Won
derful substa in the world. The
dense and bril- armor of the beetle,
the gOssamer of the dragontly's wing,
the silk of the silk worm, the sting
of the wasp. all are chitin. When the
caterpilla spins his cocoon he is
spinning out Chitin. and il seems to
flow Like water. The caterpillar's soft
skin and his bristling fur" are
chitin, too. When he becomes a but
tel'tiy his cleaning wings will be of
chtin. Yet withal chitin is such a
rigid substance that an insect can
never grow while it wears its armor of
chitin. We see small flies buzZing
around the window pane and some
times think that they Will grow into
larger flies. This is not so. The in
sect has no more chance of growing
in its exterior skeleton of chitin than
the feet of Chinese women have when
tightly bound.
When an insect grows it has to
shed it's skeleton Of chitin it is notice
able that it sheds at the same time
most of his alimentary tract, proving
for this. too, is chitin and is a sort
of outside folded inside. Naturally
the insect cannot then feed. nor has
it any defense, and this is the weak
point in the life history of insects.
Chitin is not anything like bone. but
more nearly akin to the tingernails or
the hair.

give a narrow appearance buy one
that's tightly curled rather than q
broad or fun curl. You can easily
have the length Of plume changed
by having the head Curled over 10 a
greater or lesser extent.
At times you may find that plumes
are being sold by measure-that is. BY
length and breadth. The width Of "A
feather is measured by laying it fiat
and taking the total width at a point
above the center, or at the widest
point. You obtain the length of a
feather by measuring from the stem
where the frond or hue begins, to
the very tip.
The reason why those long. sweep
ing willow plumeS are SO expensive
is because they are made by hand
by knotting several lengths of the
feather fibers together. Ostrich plumes
may he had in great variety. Burnt
ostrich is a favorite. and IL is made
simply by treating the fiues Of the
feather with acid and glycerin, which
makes them look thinner and finer.
This season plumes are appearing
again on hats, They are really eco
nomical, if you consider their long
wearing qualities. Because Of their
animal matter they can resist both
weather and wear. and few hat trim
mings can vie with the plume for
genuine attracriveness.

Eve Wrinkles.

Many people scott at the idea OF
cold cream being any use at all in
treating wrinkles. 1t depends entirely
on the wrinkles. Many of them are
due to a prematurely dry skin, IN
which case cold cream is the ideal
treatment. This is particularly true
of first or "early" wrinkles.
Try a cold cream pack and see how
YOU like the results. First of all,
wiring a cloth out of quite hot water
and hold it over the eyes until 1t
cools: repeat again and again. Ihen
while the skin is still moist and not,
spread a thick coating of flesh build
ing cold cream over the eyellds ana
we'll out over the wrinkles at the cor
ners of the eyes and along the upper
part Of the cheek.
Now begin your massage. IL IS
more convenient to use the two mid
die fingers of each hand: hold them
at the bridge of the nose and begin
stroking gently across the eyehds,
round and under the eyes and back
to the nose After couple of dozen
strokes change the treatment. Press
down on the skin gently wherever 1t
is wrinkled. All this helps work the
cream into the skin. to feed and re-
fresh it, while the heat and massage
stimulates a flow of fresh blood.
If possible, leave a thick coating OF
cream on the skin for a half hour or

one chic garniture | saw recently
was made of disks of fine straw. Each
disk was of a different hre and was
finished around the edge with blanket
stitch done in heavy yarn in II con
trasting hue. The disks were sewed to
the hat " such a way that they looked
like conventionaliZed flowers. In the
center of each where it was SeWed to
the hat was a small button on circular
piece of wadding covered with silk to
match the yarn. The ornament was
unique and was handmade. so any
woman who is deft with her needle
can have such hat trimming.
Applique Motifs.
Another Partisan idea is to applique
motifs of gold, silver and other metal
finished feathers to felt on straw sport
hats. The pieces may be cut To re-
semble leaves and petals of flowers.
When put together a Semblance OF a
flower results, with foliage TO set it
off. Each bit of leather is glued in
position and then outlined with coarse
stitches taken generally with gold
thread This same idea can be carried
out in felt instead of leather though
the latter. especially in gold and silver,
is n feature of the fashion.
Patchwork.
Patchwork hats are distinctive. but
il would take an expert home niiliner
to attempt to make one of these ana
expect it to look tailored. When made
of ribbon. in tones, that blend i'll color
harmonieS, these patchwork hats are
exquisite, though some OF the average
ones are not attractive. 1t is possible
for the woman who SeWS to make
patchwork ornaments and bands for
sport hats, even though she would
hesitate to do a whole hat. The rib
bon is fitted together in wedge shaped
sections in what sometimes appears to
he a hit-or-miss design. and sometimes
in d well thought out pattern.
Ribbon.
Braided ribbon bands are smart for
hats. Several lengths of narrow rib
bon about half an inch wide are inter
woven to form a band >. 8 or inches
wide in checkerboard style. Precision
in the work is the one essential for
the horse worker to exercise when
making such landings.
Flowers of ribbon are still in high
favor. They may be arranged sym
metrically like a motif or garniture to
go on small hat, or like Il spray of
flowers If the hat is large and has a
brim.

you do this at bedtime, which is the
ideal time for any beauty treatment.
Whether you do leave this coating on
the skin or not, be sure of one thing:
that you wipe the surplus cream off
gently with a soft dry rag and that
you leave the skin looking very oily.
BY doing this there will be enough
cream left on the surface of the skin
to be absorbed later. Do not wash it
all out with hot water and soap.
A. L.--Try q hot oil massage for
your scalp the night before your regu-
lar shampoo. You will need several
fathers to remove all of the oil from
the hair, but it will leave your scalp
clear of dandruff and also soothed, in
stead of the soreness you have been
experiencing.
Never irritate the scalp by combing
it with fine comb, as you can always
remove the dandruff either with hot
oil or with an egg shampoo. l should
surmise that the discolored skin about
your mouth comes from your having
a disordered liver.
