ditions are threatening tomorrow.
according to astrology, which finds
the evening rather more favorable
than the earlier hours. ..
While this conflguration prevails.
there may be tendency toward intro
spection and even melancholy.
This is a sway under which to ex.
ercise out of doors and to commune
with nature. which heals the mental
hurts.
Unusual interest in religious sub.
jects is indicated for the coming Sum-
mer, when there will be much Bible
study and many teachers of philos-
ophy.
+. All the signs appear to indicate
great intellectual awakening among
all classes of men and,women in this
country.
Education is to enter a period in
the United States more promising
than any in history, it is foretold.
Dancing is again to be a popular
the nation is to meet serious prob.
lens that disturb the people.
Discussion of subjects vital to gen.
eral welfare will engage attention all
through the Summer, it is foretold,
and oratory will be prevalent.

encourages agitation of the prohi.
bition issue, which will be exceeding
ly troublesome to politicians.
In Great Britain revision Of the
prayerbook is to become a matter

prophesied.
One Of the odd prophecies is that
new materials that become precious
jewels will be put on the market to
compete with diamonds, pearls and
emeralds.
Colors that have an astrological sig

Summer when fashions and manners
will be less loud than formerly.

CHAPTER XVIII,
Jealousy.

Before Jill could leave the room
Miss Byers swept into it.
She was very attractive, and Tony
was more than courteous. He bent
over her hand as If she had been a
princess and smiled down into her
eyes exactly as he had smiled at Jill
a few moments ago.
Miss ByerS wore an expensive cara
cul coat with collar and cuffs of plati-
mum fox. Her velour hat, of a lovely
shade Of periwinkle blue, fiared away
from her face.
Jill summed up all her points in the
few seconds before she left Tony's
office, and decided that she was lovely
and rich! Never before in her life
had she felt so bitter.
Dimly she wondered why. Surely
she couldn't have fallen in love with
Mr.. Mcclure simply because he had
f1irted with her. He did that with
every woman. Then why did she feel
any personal grievance? The fact
that she did feel a personal grievance
remained to taunt her as she sat at
her desk and transcribed Mr.. Nc.
Clure's letters.
For the first time since she had
come to the city she found herself up
against a barrier. OF course she
couldn't wear clothes such as Miss
Byers wore, and they did make a diff
ference.
She hadn't felt any sense Of in
feriority at the Yale prom, but then
she hadn't cared for Edgar Simpson.
He had been simply an experiment.
The other night, too, when she had
gone to the Bohemian party with
John Adams she had had no worries.
And she had had good time. Every
one had been nice to her.
Then why did she feel so different
now?

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

1t is almost inevitable that where
one finds a nervous child there one
will find also a nervous mother The
child is nervous not from inheritance
entirely, but because of the manner
In which he has been cared for. In
numerous cases astute doctors, aware
of this truism, have taken children
away from a poor home environment
and have cured their nervousness, not
through medicines, but through the
force Of calm home atmosphere.
Even tiny babies, those under six
weeks of age, will react unfavorably
to a nervous mother. Such babies
will be perfectly placid and contented
when being bathed by a competent
nurse and will shrek uncontrollably
when the excitable mother takes over
the task of bathing. There is some.
thing in her jerky movements; the
fear with which she handles the baby,
that is sensed by him and he cries
because Of it.
Mothers whose nerves are so shaky
that they scream at children for no
reason, or at best small reasons en-.
courage this type Of a reaction in the
child so that he screams easily, jumps
at noises, wakens trembling, and in
other ways exhibits his nervousness.
1t is we'll to remember that babies
are easily frightened by loud noises
and will awaken trembling if a bell
is rung, or a sharp whistle is blown
These are natural reactions and the
mother must take these into account
in caring for the child. The ordinary
noises of household should not
waken a healthy baby, as most
mothers will find the child sleeping
through them without a culver, but
II the baby belongs to this neurotic
type it should be understood that he
is only made worse If the mother tries
to accustom him to loud noises, in
the hope that he will get over the
tendency. Instead he should be pro-
tected from loud noises until he has
outgrown his fear of them, which he
will as he develops in strength and
This is only a small part Of what
might be said about nervous children.
but it is a point which mothers of
nervous children would do we'll to bear
in mind.
A mother has discovered a method
by which small children may be
taught to hold a dress sleeve while
putting the arm into a coat or sweater.
The child can be given piece of
cookie, candy, thimble or other small
object to hold in the hand along with
the sleeve, and in a short time will
learn how to hold the sleeve. AS q
reward he may be given the goody
to eat.

Dynamic Chins.

A dynamic, restless, extremely prac.
tical person finds pleasure in hard
work and strenuous play. This type
may be either blond or brunette, but
he won't be fat. nor very thin. He
will have muscles, large bones and
strong constitution.
Often stubborn, this man will be set
in his ways, and it is difficult mat
ter to sway him once he has made up
his mind on course of action. You
will find he has a heavy jaw, a broad
chin, q comparatively wide head from
ear to ear and we'll set mouth. Be-
cause he enjoys work he cannot un-
derstand those who Go not. For this
reason he often is hard task master.
He chafes at delays and demands
speed in completing a job. You will
find him in. vocations like construc-
ton, engineering, railroad and tunnel
building. Machinery that has tire.
mendous power appeals to him, and
he rarely engages in the manufacture
or operation of delicate apparatus.
In sports he goes in for the most
dangerous and toughest Of games.
Foot ball, basket ball, hockey and sim
liar games claim his interest. He
may be found in an office job. but he
never is satisfied there. He prefers
the outdoors, whether at work or play.
He makes the highest type Of outdoor

too much" I said, "You didn't have
to think to spring that one. All you
have to do is open your mouth, and

Joan said, THAT doesn't alter the
fact that smoking is bad for you,"
and I said, "It isn't as bad as getting
bawled out about it all the time. What
started the new reform wave?"
She said, "Well, our psychology in.
structor was telling us today about
the effects of tea and coffee and to-
bacco and alcohol and drugs, and he
said that smoking decreased your eff

She typed briskly with hardly an
idea of what she was writing, and
then suddenly Miss Brooks put her
head in at the door and said briefly,
"Mr. Mcclure would like to see you"
Jill hated the idea of going back.
She wanted a chance to recover her
sense of values. But there was moth
ing else to do. and moment later she
was knocking at the opposite door.
AS she entered she had an idea
that the two had just drawn apart.
At any rate, Miss Byers' cheeks were
flushed becomingly and Tony was
very gay and debonair.
ooh, Miss Anderson" he said
brightly, "are those letters ready?"
Jill was suddenly furious. He knew
quite we'll that they weren't ready.
He had asked her to hand them to
him at and she had been out Of his
office barely 90 minutes.
"No, Mr.. Mcclure" she said smooth.
ly, and with a little lift of the chin.
II haven't finished them. I'm sorry"
She wore her Jill manner now and
she felt Miss Byers' eyes fixed upon
her curiously.
Tony proceeded suavely.
II wonder if you could hurry just
little. My plans have changed, and
/ would like to leave early"
With a nod of the head he dismiss
ed her as if she were no more than a
necessary piece of office furniture.
and at the same time he turned back,
eagerly, to Miss Byers.
I'm sorry, Eleanor, but there are
one or two important letters that I
must sign. Would you rather meet
me somewhere? 1 don't like to keep
you waiting"
This was said before Jill had
chance to leave the room, but she
gave no sign that she had overheard.
Back in her own office, however, and
working at demon speed, she was
furious. OF all the conceited people
that she had ever met, Toney Mcclure
was the worst. She hated him, she
hated him!
He had called her back on purpose,
and even If he hadn't, wasn't she
doing him favor? She was Mr..
Adams secretary, and Mr.. Adams
knew how to be courteous, at least.
Oh, she hadn't been so angry since
she could remember. She rarely let
her feelings get the better of her.
She hated him! And yet, if she did,
why, as she typed. did she hear those
deep tones Of his voice, and why did
she keep recalling the way his eyes
had smiled down at her when she had
taken his dictation that morning?

SPRINCTIME
Mourning Doves.
By d. @. PEATTIE.

Will somebody tell me how the
mourning dove acquired it's name or
why it's call should seem sad to any
listener? Faults you may allege
against the mourning dove, such as
bad housekeeping and worse house.
carpentering. Light-headed couples
they may be, and there is no doubt
that the eggs often roll out OF the
nests and break for no better reason
than that the nests are too sloppy to
hold the eggs, and that, as sage has
said. "eggs in midair will not re-
MAN."
But mournful? No! The wood
pewee calling in deserted woods is
mournful. if you like. But not the
sweet content Of the doves lay. Sen.
timental? Well, perhaps, if the hymn
of praise to the cool dawns and the
gray skies of days that hang with
rain be sentimental. But take a
couple Of pigeons making love in the
rafters Of an old barn for drippy SEN
timent.
The contentment Of the dove is not
with home-he seems to break up
housekeeping rather light-headedly-
but with the world at large. Other
birds may be depressed by sunless
days. Not the white-throat sparrow.
nor the dove, which chant of cool
woods and rainy solitudes. Nothing

that is necessary for painted furniture
if it is to look right. For example,
the plain kitchen chair with a long
narrow table are excellent. Drop.
leaf tables and old-time rush bottom
chairs are fascinating, so treated.
But beware Of painting the cumber-
some mid-Victorian pieces. When
this style was in favor, painted furni-
ture went out, and the decoration is
not suited to it.
Colorful Sets.
For Summer time especially, there
is a decided charm about gayly painted
dining room furniture. 1t suggests
the riot of color that is found out-of.
doors. There should be some contras st.
ing note of color brought out in the
hair lines around edges-not on them.
This is called stripping. The edge of
the wood that is the thickness of the
board may be plain or with fancy
painted contrast. A tracery Of design
done in one or more colors, If neatly
painted and evenly drawn, adds dis
tinction.
Places for Decoration.
This decoration may be on the top
of the table or on the rims beneath,
which are found in some tables,
notably in the long, narrow refectory
types with extensions that come from
the ends and not from additional
leaves let into the center.
A Good Design Offered.
The design for cretan stitch can be
had by sending in a self-addressed and
stamped envelope with the request to
Lydia LIE Baron Walker. This design
is admirably suited to transferring to
borders for painted furniture. Put a
f1ve-petal flower in color between Sec
tons where stems end or to break
lengths Of sections. In this way
variety can be introduced. White is
not used for painted furniture now
except for bathrooms and kitchens.
Gay colors are in vogue or neutral
ones with gay decorations.
Evening star., 1927-05-28

The vogue for painted dining room
furniture has made it possible for
many homemakers to transform poor
looking pieces into attractive ones. 1t
has proven a good style for breakfast
furniture, for cottage sets and for
informal dining rooms. The style is
one that must be used with discretion
il it is correct, however, for it is
smart, rather than dignified.
There are very few dining room sets
for formal dining rooms that are to
be found in handsome furniture that
is painted. 1t does occasionally hap
pen that old italian dining room furni.
ture has some dull and time -mellowed
traces Of painting on it. There is no
lack of dignity about the pieces. But
dignity and SmartneSs are two styles
that are not in complete accord. So.
If you would have stately and dignified
dining rooms such as are needed in
large and magnificent residences, and
in smaller and less pretentious homes
where interiors are treated with re-
serve and elegance, it is well to choose
furniture that is not painted.
Refinishing Sets.
II an old set in such house needs
doing over, it is better to scrape off
the old finish after removing as much
as possible with paint remover, and
then ref1nish it with dull varnish. If
the wood is golden oak stain can be
given the wood that transforms it into
an effect of mahogany, fumed oak,
antique oak, walnut, ETC., as one
chooses. 1t is often wise to remove
gluedon ornaments that add ornate
ness rather than ornament to the
pieces.
Smart Painted Sets.
II the dining room is decorated In
smart style or is to be redecorated in
such fashion, gay paint and ornamen-
tai motifs are just the things to use.
The furniture may be bought un-
finished and the homemaker paint it
herself, or she can do over old furni-
ture. There is a simplicity of line
