North to Cape Sable. but more severe
in Cumberland County. Halifax and
the Annapolis Valley. Numerous
stories of narrow escapes and hazard.
Gus salvage work trickled in over the

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday. March q.

Until the evening of tomorrow the
planetary influences are good, accord
ing to astrology. Benefic stars
dominate.
There is sign of big promise to the
clergy, who will be greatly needed in
world affairs, 1t is foretold.
Men and women are to turn again
to religious matters and to seek
spiritual consolation, the stars indi-
cate.
All the signs appear to presage for
the United States great gain in
power and prestige.
Thrift is to be preached and
methods of saving are TO be en-
couraged as never before in the
coming months, 1t is forecast.
The people. long quiescent in public
affairs. are to awaken to a new sense
of responsibility, astrologers predict
and to demand that vice and crime be
stamped out.
Corruption in politics Is to be I'M
covered and women are to prove that
they are worthy Of full citizenship
according to a reading of the stars.
Persons whose birth date 1t is have
the augury of happy year, and pros
porous one. Writers should benefit.
Children born on that day probably
will be most lucky in making money
and winning success.

iron fireside benches are decidedly in
fashion.
Fireside Seats.
Wooden benches before the fire may
be long and have arms almost like a
sofa without a back, or they may be
little more than long footstools or
ottomans. This idea of fireside benches
is admirable for small rooms where
davenports drawn up before fires are
not permissible. The bench affords
seats in front of the fire without
dwarfing the room or obstructing the
view. The bench can be luxurious
with handsomely covered cushion seat
and with perhaps low eno CUSHIONS
against the arms.
Dresser Benches.
The use of dressing table benches Is
excellent No back interferes with the
exercise of the arms when brushing or
doing the hair, for instance. Com
pared with these dressing table
benches or stools. chairs seem made
ouate. both because they are hampered
by backs and because they are not SO
long as benches. soft doWny cusn'

of luxury.

are small. and generally the height OF

nrova a great convenience. 1t is out
of the way when not wanted. and yet
is always handy if work can be done
equally well when the worker is seated.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Romance.

Sally often felt afterward that just
stepping from the tender to the deck
of the great ocean liner that was to
carry them so far away, from home
put her under a spell of some kind.
Certainly she was not the same girl.
She felt as if nothing mattered.
For a whole month this was to be
her home. They would be entirely cut
off from everything and every one. She
hadn't dreamed it would be so ro-
mantle, and, together with this feeling,
there was a strange new reckiesSneSs
developing in her.
She didn't. want to think about it,
but it was there. She didn't stop TO
reason out the fact that Myra's inf1u-
ence might have been responsible for
it in some part. If any one had told
her so she would have laughed. Myra
Influenced her in that way? Absurd.
She hummed little tune under her
breath as they unpacked their things.
She felt fresh. vital.
What a wonderful Stateroom for
their long trip. So big, so commodious.
She hung up the new dresses Myra
had bought her, smoothing their folds,
and still humming a little tune under
her breath.
Myra was irritable and tired. The
delay that afternoon had made her
nervous. She couldn't understand
Sally's vitality.
AS she worked over her own luggage
she stole an occasional glance in her
direction. Sally seemed as fresh as
when she had started. There was a
soft rose flush on her cheeks, and a
lovely look in her eyes. And then

You are not" or something like that,
and the argument was over and l
went to sleep before another one
started.
Well, the first thing 1 knew, Joan
was punching me in the ribs and hold
ing one hand over my mouth, and
tried to ask her what was the matter,
and she whispered in my ear. Some
body Is in the apartment" and said,
who is it?''
Joan whispered, "Sh-7, a burglar,
you idiot" 1 said. Fudge" but it is
hard to whisper fudge so that some
body can understand you when they
have just walked up in the middle of
the night, and she said, II say there's
burglar in the house. What shall
we do?" I said, why can't you stay
calm? Am 1 losing my self-control?
Where is something 1 can hit him
WITH" Joan said, Let me go to the
window and yell" l said, You'll
wake the baby"
Well, l got out of bed and grabbed
the first thing 1 could get my hands
on. and I tip-toed out through the
apartment and listened and there
wasn't a sound, and / raised my arm
to be ready to hit whoever it was, and
I snapped on the light, but there
wasn't any one in sight, and / looked
in the kitchen and bathroom and sun
parlor. too, and 1 laughed and I said,
You must have been dreaming. Joan.
Women are the scariest creatures l
ever heard Of" and l laughed again
and / turned out the light and went
back to the bedroom.
Well, it was all dark, but right
there in the bedroom l could just
barely see the outline of a great big
guy coming toward me, and let out
a yell and made a pass at him, and
smashed Joan's boudoir lamp all to
the devil, because that was what was
carrying, and l am glad it did not
break the full-length mirror in the
bedroom closet door, and 1t is funny
how you will make a mistake and
swing at your own reflection like
that, and 1 wish women could keep
their heads and not make you get out
of bed in the middle of the night when
you know doggone well that there
isn't anysburglar in the house.

that little tune she was humming!
What was it?
Oh, yes. Myra knewi Love Sends

A rather nice tune-and romantic.
Myra spoke at last.
What makes you so peppy?"
Sally turned shining eyes upon her
Il don't know. The prospect Of the
trip, l guess. The other was like a
preliminary, while this is the real one.
Aren't you thrilled"
Yes, of course. but I'm tired. Let's
get through and go to bed"
She redoubled her efforts. and Sally
went on humming as she worked.
Gradually the small room began to look
ship-Shape. The girls mules were
under their bed. Fresh silk nighties
were ready at the foot of each bed,
negliges were ready for use.
Sally drew long breath and then,
yielding to a sudden impulse, went to
the portfolio.
The swish-swish of the sea again.

The moon made a golden path on
the water. The sea whispered! And

dark eyes, sympathetic eyes that had
looked down into her own.
She could hear him speak.

His accent had been English-verY

Tomorrow she might meet him!
Sally's arms went up over her head
in a gesture of longing. She didn't
know what she wanted. Romance, per-

And then suddenly she was aghast.
Where were her thoughts leading her?
She had forgotten she was married.
She had forgotten Tom and Marjorie
completely.
She turned abruptly from the port
hole.
Myra was already undressed.
Through star gazing?"
YES" Sally's tone was meek.
Comfortably in bed. Myra regarded
her little sister more tolerantly.

Sally bent down to unbuckle her
shoes. In reality 1t was to hide her
flaming cheeks. Myra mustn't know
how silly she was. That would be ter

is ideal for shopping because 1t is not

Purses of neutral colors can be
worn with more clothes, and will tire
the eye less, than purses of vivid hues,

with almost any coat, suit or dress.

Imitation feathers may be inferior

appreciably less In the limitations. Re-
member that light-colored feathers

Benches, stools and seats without
backs. even though they may have
arms, are in high favor in furniture
for the homes just now. They are
found in co2tly pieces for drawing
rooms, reception rooms and other for
NAL rooms. They are made for living
rooms and dining rooms. They nave
entered into bedroom furniture. They
are seen in bathroom furnishings and

ems Stools come in every kind and
sort. from wee foot rests to the largest
of ottomans that can hold two. They
may be rich in design and carving for
formal rooms or merely be utilitarian

The renaissance of the refectory
tables brings with it the vogue OF
benches instead of dining room chairs
The two are inseparable If the dining
room is correctly furnished in detail.
The present long. narrow, refectory-
style table is as admirably suited to
benches now as it was in ages past In
its original form. These seats supply
places for the sides of the table, while
for the ends chairs in classic style may
be used appropriately.
Adaptability.
At first glance this type of furniture
would seem to be adapted to the for
NAL dining room rather than the com
bination living room-dining room OF
many apartment houses. Just how
the benches would fit in with the rest
Of the duplex furnishings is the ques-
tion. On more careful consideration,
however, we find that they can be
adapted to combination uses as well as
other furniture.
Refect0ry Benches.
For instance, one of the two table
benches can be used for piano stool
except when needed for dining room
purposes. The other bench can be be-

Salient Points of the Play.
Trick l. East covers Vests Queen
of Spades with the King to avoid
blocking his partners suit.
Trick \. North Dummy leads the
ten of Diamonds to irAite a cover
should East hold the Kia;. Failing a
cover, South refuses the finesse The
point of this play is that should East
hold the King of Diamonds, South
can go game by conceding East a
Diamond trick, whereas should West
hold the King, game cannot be made
unless the King is a singleton. The
success of this play well illustrates
the point that where there exists but
one chance for game a player should
always take this chance, however re-
mote it may be.
Trick II. With game already in,
South takes the Club finesse which,
although the King of Clubs was
fairly well marked in East's hand,
would not otherwise have been justi-
fed. In connection with this hand,
1t is interesting to note that played
