THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday. March 2.

Tomorrow is rather an unimportant
day in planetary direction, according
to astrology. There is one ma jor
threatening aspect however. Travel
is not well directed.
Newspapers and magazines are
rather well directed under this plane
tary government, and there appears
little doubt that they will publish
much sensational matter in 1927.
There will be a trend toward spirit
ual matters and much interest In
religion, it is forecast.
All the signs appear to presage for
the year the introduction of amazing
inventions. Aviation, telephones and
radio will be improved.
1t is again foretold that our great
men and women will pass on in UNI
usual numbers.
New modes are foreshadowed for
women, who will again seek to cult
vate extreme femininity, if they desire
to be fashionable.
Beauty is to be more lauded, a sign
not altogether encouraging, if con-
fined to persons and not to their
surroundings.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of good news and pleasant
adventures in the coming year.
Children born on that day may have
strong psychic gifts and may be much
interested in the occult. They should
be guarded against superstition.

By THE COUNSELLOR.

The Waverly Lumber Corporation
was financially weak. Among it's
creditors was Thomas Grant, who had
sold to the company $500 worth Of
tools He made repeated demands
upon the corporation for his money,
but Frank Steel, the president, re-
peatedly told him the corporation could
not pay it's bills
Thomas Grant knew that Steel was
worth considerab BILE money and owned
in his own name a prosperous furni-
ture business. He realized that the
WaverIy Lumber Corporation had no
assets and If he sued it he would get
nothing. A short while later the COM
pany went into bankruptcy.
Grant made a demand upon Steel
for the payment of the account. Steel
refused to pay, explaining that the
debt was the corporations debt and,
although he was a large stakeholder
and had a direct hand in the manage
ment of the affairs Of the corporation,
he had never pledged his own credit
and it was an unfortunate turn in the
market that was responsible for the
corporations failure.
The creditor was not convinced.
Steel was a member of the corpora.

A mother has written asking for
some information about a christen
ing for her small daughter. She has
given me no inkling as to the parti-
cular information she may have need
of--so the reply must be very gem
eral. I trust the shoe fits with some
measure of accuracy.
1t used to be, some years ago, that
babies were christened on either the
first, or at least the second Sunday
after their arrival on this plane. But
christenings now await the coming
of a great-uncle from China. on
godparent-to-b from Europe, or
even a new dress for the occasion
that Is being made in Georgia by a
loving aunt. However, the result is
quite the same.
If the Christening takes place at the
home of the parents, an improvised
font is arranged. A few guests are
usually invited and the members of
the family gather from around about

may, in which case so much concern

that tears are forgotten.
If the christening takes place at
church, it may be at the conclusion
of a regular service. at a christening

CHAPTER L.
Unmasking Mark.

Even as she spoke, Irene's thoughts
were chaos.
How did she know what she knew?
And yet, as she went on talking she
became increasingly sure that she
was right. She must have absorbed
a great deal through her handling of
fiction. This was SO patiently a maya
zine story. 1t had all the elements

sorts, but, after all, why not? What
good would it do to try to hold Mark,
once she realized the truth? She
wasn't cut out for a heroine, and
Bunny, or Jessica, most certainly was
You're crazy" Mark was saying.
''Do you realize what you're saying?
!. And even if it were true, Jessica has
made her choice. Are you going to
spoil our lives because of this mad
idea?''

OF course, it's mad. Jessica will

some common sense
His tone was almost rough and for
z moment Irene hesitated Was she
being foolish? Was she taking too
much for granted? And even if it
were true! What reason had she to
believe that Jessica cared for Mark?
1t was all SO stupidity mixed up.
You admit, then, that you do care
Tor her more than you should?" She
pressed the words on him relentlessly.
Mark went scarlet. Certainly
not.'
: You spoke the words, i didn't"
And you read meanings in my
words that I don't intend to imply"
Irene shrugged, and then suddenly
rose TO her feet.
We're quarreling-like stupid chill
dren."
Instantly he was ashamed-con-
trite.
I'm sorry"
But why not admit the truth? Tell
me yes, or no! Don't you really care
Tor her? I'm trying to make it easy
for you"
You think you've made a mistake,
and you want me to release you from
our engagement, is that it? This is
convenient excuse"
You won't admit the truth, them
There's nothing in what you say.

Irene drew long breath.
'All right, l do ask to be released
from our engagement. / do think it
was a mistake"
That throws a different light on
everything. I'm sorry. Irene. Of
course you're quite free
His tone and words were stiff, and
Irene felt a lump in her throat. If

Every man must get ahead on his
own merits; no one can make success
for him. But there is q great trinity
that spells success: Study, thought
and work.
A really ambitious person gobbles up
all knowledge in sight. He studies
men and ideas. He uses his mind. He
is Industrious.
1t makes little difference how or
where he starts. If he is persistent as
well as Industrious, studious and
thoughtful.
He must be honest, not alone in
money matters, but in his work and all
his dealings. There are many roads.
