Clues to Character
BY J. d. ABERNETHY.
Faithful Chins.

Observe the shape of the head, the
form Of the lips, the eyes, cheeks and.
above all. the chin of your sutton,
girls, if you wish to read their inner
most secrets. The love signs are
easier read in the chin than in any
of the other features.
How many girls attach Importance
to the shape of their sweetheart's
chin? Don't plunge into love blindly.
If you yearn for an ardent lover
choose one with broad chin. This
type will manifest great steadfastness
and constance in affection. 1t Is the
kind of chin you will find on faithful
wives and husbands.
The broad. round chin usually is &C.
companied by great breadth of the
jaw back of the two molar teeth. Per-
sons with this kind of chin and jaw
are unlikely to be drawn away from
husband or wife, no matter how cap.
tivating the new admirer may be.
Those who desire children when
wed and esteem them as a pledge of
love have broad, round chins accom-
panied by breadth and fullness of the
red membrane region of the lips, both
upper and lower.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Dangers Of Baby's Toys.

One wonders why manufacturers
continue to make rattles and toys tie
signed for small babies which contain
swalloWable adjunctS. The death OF Il
baby only recently from Strangulat;or
following the swallowing of a small
bell from a rattle brings this problem
home more acutely. 1t is natural for
babies to put everything into their
mouths. The mouth is the most vital
portion of the body to the young baby,
for through it he gets the most Iromi-
nent of his sensations. the comfort of
his food. No one can change this.
But we can minimize the danger at
tendant upon the things he gets in his
small hands. Tiny babies are not
able to go after things Objects have
to be put into their hands. and no
wise mother will ever give a small
infant toy which contains anything
which can be gnaWed or pulled off to
be swallowed.
Some babies seem to ha W pecu-
liar craving for hair. fuzz and string,
which is slightly analogous to a crav-
ing for dirt. Naturally, the baby who
sucks his woody comfort will have no
distaste for the fuzz pulled from
woolly carpet, though his mother may
see vast difference in the two things.
III ne mas Strl1lS uOll ne VIII De as
likely to put the kitchen dish mop in
his mouth; or if his small pony has
f1ourishing tail and name he cannot
be expected to differentiate between
those and the knot of hair thrown
into the waste basket by his mother.
1t is all in what one gets used to,
says baby, and 1t is up to the mother
to keep away from him toys which
not only may endanger his life, as in
the case of rattles with bells which
can be pulled off. but may foster hab-
its which later she will find extremely
difficult to break.
Toys should always be of the sim
plest sort, with no bangles. or hair,
button eyes, or woOlly or stringy ex-
terror. AS the baby grows older he
may find a place in his toy box for
such complex contraptions, but he
will also by that time have ceased
putting things in his mouth and
they will no longer be sourc" Of dam
ger to him. Rubber and celluloid or
ivory make the best materials for
the infants toys and these should be
washed and boiled as often as reces-
sary to keep them scrupulously clean,
and should be tied to his carriage or
bed so that they cannot possibly fall
on the floor.

A Child's Play.

NO, don't want him put in the
nursery school NO. / would not con-
slider placing him in kindergarten.
He is years old and brighter than
most of the children on the block.
Why should he play? He knows too
much for play school. Put him in
regular class so he can learn to read
and write. He knows all his letters
now"
Again and again mothers make that
speech or its equivalent to the heads
of schools throughout the country.
He is too smart to play. Why waste
his time"
Play is the child's work. True, 1t is
accomplished under no stress of COM
mands. 1t is done joyously in freedom
Of mind and body to the accompani-
ment of cheers and boots and laughter.
But it IS the child's main business, his
work, just the same. There is no
reason why work should be anything
but joyous except the selfishness and
shortsightedness of men. Don't let
that warped notion enter into your
conception of child's play.
Play develops, changes. takes on
new meanings, and at last merges
into the life work of the young man
n.
of the highest importance that the
play of the early years, be guided and
encouraged and brought to perfection
of happiness and competency. Throw
ing a ball is play for the baby as you
look at it. For him it is serious
business requiring thought and effort
and result. If he fails to place his
ball, or to catch 1t, he shows distress
and insists upon trying again and
again until he succeeds. Then he
crows and laughs and dances in glee.
Because he shouts with joy at the
result Of his efforts. grown-ups say,
.'he is only playing" And I say he
is working successfully.
If the baby gets the feel and then
the habit of success in his play it Is
going to carry through to his post
adolescence and affect his work. There
has been no real fundamental change
in the activity of mind behind the
expression. The child still desires to
do something and have it turn out
well, still Graves the feel and the spirit
of success. Only the method of work
has changed a bit. The spirit, the
fundamental thing, is not changed.
Then do not think so lightly of play
whether it is carried on in the nursery
school, the kindergarten, the school
yard or the vacant lot. 1t is the
child's chief business. We impose
books upon him all too soon. We
cramp his body In a wooden bench
and confine his mind to standardized
patterns. The only freedom he has
his only way of escape, is through
the playground route.
There is nothing so very clever
about learning to read. Very few
children fail to acquire that power
Nor is there anything wrong in the
child's preference for his ball and hi:
bat when a choice of a book lessor
and a game in the park is offered

medicines on your own responsibility,
but have a physician give you a thor
ough physical examination to ascer-
tain whether your blood needs a
tonic" or not. 1t is likely that your
diet is poor in certain elements that
you need. but only a physician can
tell you just what is wrong. Fresh
air and sunshine are very necessary,
but so is active exercise. Leave your
car at home and walk at least 5 miles
day. My leaflet on Care of Dry
Compilations will give you some good
local treatments. but nothing of this
kind will be Of much avail until you
correct the internal deficiency that
must be at the root Of your complex
ion troubles. Before you go outdoors
be sure to protect your skin with
cream and powder Wind and sun
will make the complexion dry unless
such precautions are taken.

much of special interest to f1nanciers
in world developments at this tirae,
the seers declare.

are enterprising and who push prof.
ects that require courage as well as
capital.

or any favor
1t is rather forbidding direction Of
the stars for all who seek positions.
but there is to be much work as the
Summer advances.
Merchants and manufacturers are
to profit from some change in fash
ions in the Autumn.
Housekeepers will face increase in
the cost of living, it is prophesied. and
hotel propretors will benefit as thou
sands forsake home maintenance.
Tomorrow should be a favorable
day for farmers. who certainly are to
have profitable season. despite
vagaries in weather.
Astrologers prognosticated at the
beginning of the year great loss of life
through unusual storms and they
warn that tempests are to rage at
intervals in many places all through
the Summer.
Nervous disorders may be exceed.
ingly prevalent and the mind un-
usually sensitive to impressions, while

lures that bring much success.
Children born on tomorrow prob.
ably will aspire to public careers.
Many born under this sign reach
