What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
distinctly favorable and remain so
until early in the evening, when they
become overcast. and gloomy, al
though not definitely adverse. The
day presents a good opportunity for
the initiation Of any new enterprise
or undertaking for the success OF
which much courage and originality
are needed. The signs also denote
that any task involving some degree
of daring will, if attempted under the
days influences, be shorn of much
of it's danger. The result will, in all
probability justify the effort. The
evening atmosphere, although de
pressing, need cause no misglving:
if determination prevails and you
make up your mind to rise superior
to conditions.
Children born tomorrow will, dur.
ing infancy, be subjected to repeated
attacks of illness. They will in
physical sense, prove to be very re-
silent and possess quick recuperative
powers. At about the age Of 10 or
IL years they will have outgrown
their early weaknesses, and from
then on will develop along satisfac-
tory and normal lines. In disposition
they will be stubborn. With age and
experience, this will transform itself
into strength of character-an asset
of considerable value. They will,
while not neglecting the call of the
great open spaces" be very assidu-
Gus in their studies, and will do every
thing intrusted to them to the best of
their ability.

there is going to be some trouble tax

won't have much room for visitors.
Let's see, now. Our bed-Joan'S

since it Is the dining room too she VIII

so that we can have breakfast.
The baby ought to be the most COM

share his bed.
And she will probably boss Hilda
and try to raise the baby her way. l
never thought of it much before, but
somehow I'm beginning to get appre-
hensive that the mother-in-laW jokes
may be founded on facts.

bers that do not quite fit over the shoe
heels, you can fix them temporarily
by stuffing the heel with a sponge. II
you haven't this, use roughly crushed
paper of the sort which has a spongy
quality. Cotton batting will do, but
the sponge or crushed paper is best
AS matter of fact, a piece of sponge
put into the heel of rubber will make
1t wear far longer than without it. A
perfect fit is insured even when heels
are worn down a trif1e at one side. OF
course, such shoe heels should have
new lifts put on as soon as they are
really worn down, but a slightly worn
heel plays havoc with rubbers.
Making Tips From Rubbers.
When the heels of rubbers do wear
so that the rubberS have to be dis
carded because they leak, you can
still have a great deal of wear out Of
them by making them into tips. These
heelless rubbers are just the things to
wear to protect shoes from dampness
and to wear in drizZles and slight
showers. They are much lighter than
rubbers, and many women always
wear them, except in very bad storms.
II you have tips, use one as pattern
and cut away the heels of the rubber
to conform to that shape. The back
strap should be fairly wide and gradu-
ally increase in width as it turns down
to the place under the instep which
will be found in good condition in the
rubbers, as it gets practically no wear
Should the strap seem rather slight
and scarcely strong enough, you can
stick strip of surgeons plaster along
the under side, and it will then be
quite as strong as the rest Of the
tip Such homemade tips are excel
lent and will wear a very long time.
With care in having new rubbers
we'll fitted to shoes and by transform
ing rubberS worn out at the heel into
good tips, the wearing quality of the
overshoes can be increased and the
expenditure for rubbers be cut down

Just This Once Won't Hurt.

That's the way the trouble starts for
dozens of girls in the world. They
hesitate, reflect, then remark careless
ly: "Oh, we'll, I'll do it just this once
1t won't hurt. I'll never do it again."
From that time forth, Of course.
they have to struggle against just that
much more temptation.
Take, for instance, the girl who
knows that it's foolish to go out with
Billy, Anderson. He has terrible
reputation-most nice girls give him
the air after week or tWo-but still
our foolish heroine is anxious to have
ride in his nice car-and to have a
really good dance with him-he's such
wonderful dancer.
So she tells herself easily that it
won't hurt her reputation bit IL she
breezes out to some roadhouse-with
him once-n) more.
She can get rid Of him with some
excuse after the one evening. No
need for her to be pal of his. What
harm could one evening do?
She has her evening with Billy
and very good time, too. The young
man Is on his best behavior. She
comes home triumphant, confident
that she's used good sense and dis.
cretion,
OF course several of her friends have
seen her out with the notorious youth.
Still, they can't think ill Of her for
one appearance with him. 1t isn't as
If she were actually running around
with him regularly.
Probably her friends don't give the
matter a great deal Of thought.
They're family surprised-that's all.
Maybe they made the mental note
that 1t seems strange to see a girl Of
her type out with SO dark a character
as Billy Andeyson-but they don't get
excited over the fact.
Only they remember it-probably
mention 1t to one or two other friends.
And it may come to be known gen.
orally that Peggy is going about with
the town bounder.
Now comes the trouble. Peggy has
a duh evening or two-nobody calls
her up. She's pining for a dance,
when Billy makes his appearance one
evening, asking her for just one more
good time.
She remembers what a jolly party
she had with him-why not go out
with him again? She falls, and her
standards are lowered just that little
bit more. For her second appear.

My Neighb0r Says:

If the trap in your bathroom
or kitchen is clogged, attach a
piece of rubber hose to your
cold water faucet, then place
the hose over the opening in
the sink and turn the water on
full force, allowing it to run
several minutes. This will
flush the trap.
If you have difficulty in driv-
ing small tacks into the wall,
put them into a piece Of thin
cardboard an inch or so apart,
drive them in and then pull off
the cardboard.
Try chopping an apple in

BEAUTY CHATS
Short Hair.

The other day, one of my readers

Short hair is good for a long time
yet. Some people say forever. but l

youth, even past middle age. just as

a woman look young, if she hasn't a

Danny Meadow Mouse was quite be-

Meadow Mouse was crazy. He was
so jealous that he actually didn't have
sense enough left to even take
ordinary care. He was out to find
Nanny Meadow Mouse, who, he was
sure, had gone off to make another
home with another Meadow Mouse,
and he didn't care what happened to
him if he could only find her. The
trouble was he didn't have any idea
just where to look. The Green
Meadows are big, and Nanny might
be almost anywhere.
But he hurried along little path
cut through the grass. and he was
grinding his teeth and not even look
ing to either right or left; neither
was he looking ahead. That IS, If he
was looking. he wasn't seeing things.
So it was that he ran right smack
into Peter Rabbit. It was a question
which was startled most-Peter or
Danny?
"Why don't you look where you're
going?" demanded Peter Grossly, as he
turned to see who had run into him.
Then his two ears flew right straight
up and his two eyes bulged out, until
it was a wonder they didn't fall out
altogether. "Say," he whispered, "are
you alive?"

Danny. What a silly question.

in a whisper, for he couldn't find his
voice.
Danny saw red. This was adding
insult to injury. Here he had come
home after being away all Summer
and found his home deserted. Now
one Of his oldest friends was asking
foolish questions. Danny was so
angry that his tongue tripped over
his teeth every time he opened his
mouth to speak. Finally he found
his voice, but he was SO excited that
his voice was more squeaky thap
usual. "Of course I'm Danny Meadow
Mouse. Who else would 1 be?" he
sputtered. This Is a nice way to
treat an old friend. Where's Nanny
Meadow Mouse? You tell me that.
Peter Rabbit; where's Nanny Meadow
Mouse?"
'At home," replied Peter, who by
this time had somewhat gotten over
his astonishment. "At home, where
she should be-"
'She isn't she isn't home at ALL"
squealed Danny. "She should be, but
she isn't, and I want to know where

small matter of rubbers is good
thing.
When you buy rubbers be sure to
see that they fit the particular shape
of toe and heel of the shoes with
which they are to be worn. Unless
sou do this the rubbers cannot be ex-
pected to wear long, though they may
be of fine make and OF excellent quail
ity. Wear the shoes that are to be
fitted or take one to the shoemaker's
when buying the rubbers. Do not ex-
pect one pair Of rubbers to fit all of
your sho3s unless you always wear
the Identical shape of shoe, which in
these days of many models of foot
wear is seldom the case. Have a pair
Of rubberS for each different shape of
shoe that you wear in stormy weather
This is not an extravaganza, but
saving. No one pair will get all the
wear. Instead of buying several pairs
of rubbers of similar shape during the
season, as one pair has to be replaced
by another as worn out get more pairs
ut one time. The actual cost will be
no more in the end; in fact, it will
be less.
