"She must have gotten out" said
Farmer Browns Boy sorrowfully.
"She must have gotten out and run
away"
II don't see how she could have"
answered Mother Brown, for 1 am

Nevertheless, Farmer Browns Boy
went outside and hunted all around
the dooryard and looked in every
place he could think of. Not a trace
of Little Miss Curiosity did he And.
He really felt quite bad about 1t. So
did Mother Brown. II wouldn't have

have believed 1 should ever come to
think so much of a woodchuck. Why,

possibly have gotten out, but I've
looked in every place in this house
that I can think of, and she certainly

rather on the bounder order - self
made, self-asSertive and self-sufficient.
He was accompanied by his son, a
stub-nosed, stunty lad of u or there:
abouts.
Good day." exclaimed The father
effusively, at the same time putting
himself squarely in tie path so that
the other either mist halt or run over
him.
The aloof pedestrian grunted In a
non-committal way.
However, the self-made man was
proof against rebuffs; snubs meant
nothing to him. Probably he was
used to them.
Beautiful day, isn't it?" he pressed.
Another grunt which might mean

Tuesday, July IL.

Again the stars appear to smile on

ready in places in the sun.
Many schisms and dissensions
within party organizations are pres.
aged by the stars. that seem to warn
of surprises in political developments
of various sorts.
Both Army and Navy interests are
now subject to the most stimulating
planetary influences, making for aCtiv
ity that is favorable to officers in both
branches of the service.
The rule is most fortunate for con-
struCtive enterprises. and Uncle Sam
is to have opportunity to demonstrate
his supreme ability in world affairs.
Since the new moon of June 20
caused London astrologers to predict
war for Great Britain, the Seers have
read many sinister signs that appar-
emily involve the United States in new
responsibilities.
Interest in army pensions, hospitals
and whatever contributes to the well
fare of soldiers will be keen here, as
well as abroad, all through the Sum
mer, it is forecast.
Tomorrow should be an suspicious
day for sea voyages. and again much
foreign travel is prognosticated for res

Increase in wisdom Is foretold for
Americans, who are to enjoy a period
of spiritual and intellectual develop.

Good Judgment should prevail while
this configuratiOn prevails. Domestic
forbearance that prevents quarrels
should be easier than it is under other
planetary governments.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of success, especially in
military affairs. The year may bring
dangerous love letters to men and
women.
Children born on that day should
succeed in positions Of authority. They
should be trained to poise and caution
in everyday life.

During the Summer, when guests
come and go in a home by the shore
or in the country, more than at any
other season of the year, the home
maker can save herself much bother
in caring for napery by using fabric
bandeauX as napkin markers. To be
sure, in the home of wealth, where
work is not matter for considera-
ton, guests and the family have fresh
napkins at each meal, but in the
average household this is far from
the case. Napkins are used several
times, being changed on specific days
only, unless the linen gets soiled be-
tween times, then it should be
changed, of course. But napkins are
meant to be used daintily, and, there
fore, are not likely to be actually
soiled even when changed. Mussed
they will be. but little more.
How to Get q Pattern.
And so 1 am calling your attention
to the advantages of these napery
handeaux. Should you wish for illus
trated directions for making two
styles Of these bandeaux 1 shall be
glad to send them to any reader who,
with a request, sends in a self-ad-
dressed and stamped envelope. Do
not send in stamp only with a re-
quest. A stamped and addressed
envelope is necessary.
A Quaint Old English CO."
The initial in the old English
alphabet that is given today is the
Letter 90" 1t is a remarkably at
tractive letter, and those who have
names beginning with this initial are
fortunate in finding so pleasing a
one. If you have bandeaux for nap
kins be sure to have one at least
with 20" on it. Some guest may
have a name that calls for this letter.
You see if the napkin bandeaux are
to be practical markers for guests

She wasn't there. He looked all over

He even went upstairs and hunted.

Protecting Y
Complexion
By WILMA BANKY
Use ONL a true
complexion soap on face

THERE are two rules In skin
J care which should be observed:
Q) Keeping the skin clean and pores
open. (2) Using proved soap on
your skin.
Present-day beauty culture calls
for soap and water. But that means
a PROVED COMPLEXION soap.
Soaps made for general use are often
too harsh for the skin.
Thus, largely on expert advice,
millions use Palmolive Soap; touch
their faces with no other. 1t is
made of cosmetic oils. It is made
for one purpose only-to protect
and beautify the skin.
Wash the face gently with
Palmolive. Massage its baimy olive
