HOROSCOPE
Sunday, January 16.

Tomorrow is read as an unfortu.
nate day by astrolOgers, who find
that many malefic planetary in
f1uences are active.
1t Is a day in which intrigue and
deception are likely to flourish. espe-
cially in business affairs.
Contracts should not be signed while
this sway prevails, the seers warn.
as they are likely to be misleading.
There is a favorable direction of
the stars for intellectual pursuits and
forecasts of increased vogue for lee
turers.
Under this planetary government
there may be much social ambition
apparent and the desire to meet per-
sons of wealth.
Women tomorrow should profit by
an aspect that seems to promise for
them success in business or profess
sional work.
1t Is a fairly lucky wedding day.
since 1t promises prosperity and CON
tinued loyalty.
There is sign making for business
activity that is unusual the first
month of the year.
Building organizations, bond com
panies and banking institutions will
flourish, it is foretold.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the prospect of a fair year, but they
should avoid extravaganza.
Children born on that day probably
Will have much success in life, with
many reverses that prove in the end

The air was cool, even chilly, but

Formal they undoubtedly are, elegant

lowers, their heavy. glossy leaves.
Why should they not be? Are they
not descended from imperial gardens
Of old China, members of the tea

Time was when no lady of fashion
was well dressed without a camellia
a ner dress on her hair Those were
he days when roses went begging
at cents apiece and cameIlias at
Christmas time caused thousands of
dollars to change hands The great
rufiied span of the camellia's blossom
is now as out-of-date as are crinoline
skirts. Without wishing hoopskirts
back again, do sometimes feel wist-
full about the quaint old camellia.
Perhaps camellias were once loved too
much. were sentimentalized and made
the flowers of fashion, as roses and
orchids are now regarded. Surely it

that he had had excitement. But after
he was rested, he began to think of
the dear Old Briar-patch. He wished
he was there. Somehow the Green
Forest no longer seemed so attractive.
In the Old Briar-patch Reddy Fox
couldn't get him Whitley, the Snowy
Owl, couldn't get him. No one could
get him, but Shadow the Weasel, or
Billy Mink. and neither of these were
likely to go away over TO the dear
Old Briar-patch.
But it was a long way over to the
dear Old Briar- patch across the open
snow covered Green Meadows. After
his recent rights, Peter didn't feel SO
sure about getting over there safely.
In fact, the more he thought of it, the
more he dreaded that run across the
open. He was still trying to decide
whether it would be safer to go by
daylight or by night, when who should
he see come trotting along but BoWser
the Hound! In an instant, Peter had
great idea. Yes, sir, Peter had a
great idea. He would get Bowser to
help him to get over to the dear Old
Briar-patch. Now wasn't that a great
idea? How do you think Peter did it?
Peter waited until Bowser had al.
most reached the bramble -tangle.
Then he hoped right out in front of
Bowser. For just a second or two
BoWser stared at him, as if he just
couldn't believe such impudence.
Then, with a roar of his great voice
he started after Peter. Of course,
away went Peter, lipperty-lipperty-l
After him went Bowser, his great
voice ringing through the Green For
est and across the snow-covered Green
Meadows.
Now Peter could run faster and
more easily on the snow than could
Bowser, SO he wasn't in the least
afraid that Bowser would catch him.
He didn't try to get far ahead of
Bowser. In fact, he managed to keep
only jump or two ahead of Bowser.
Then he headed straight for the dear
Old Briar-patch. And as he ran, he
chuckled.
Good old Bowser" said Peter to
himself. HE hasn't the least idea that
he is protecting me. But that is what
he is doing. Yes, sir, that is just what
the old fellow is doing. No one will
dare try to catch me so long as Bow
ser is right at my heels. hope Reddy
the Fox is where he can see this.
He'll know then that he isn't the only
one who can be smart
You see, Peter was thinking very
well of himself. After all, I guess he
had reason to, for in very short time
he had reached the dear Old Briar.
patch and was safe within it.
