you staring at me SO hard for?"
'I was wondering if you could
climb a tree" said Peter. "All the
cat people that I know can climb
trees"
"Wen. now you know one who can't
climb a tree and has no desire to
climb a tree replied Simba. And
Striped Coat over there Is another.
The ground is good enough for us.
What about Spotcoat?" Peter In
quired.
"Oh. Spotcoat climbs trees" replied
Simba. II guess Spotcoat feels more
at home in trees than he does on the
ground. Look at my claws and then
go over and look at the claws of spot
coat. You win see that his claws are
made for climbing"
So Peter politely said good-by to
Simba and hoped over in front of the
cage where Spotcoat was walking
back and forth, back and forth, just
as Striped Coat the Tiger was doing.
Right away Peter noticed that Spot
coat had long tail. 1t was hand
some tail, for it was marked just as
his coat was marked. Spotcoat
stopped and. looked down at Peter.

I did. Do you see any trees for me
to climb? My, my, it would feel good
to dig my claws into a tree and run
up it, and l can't think of anything
in the world I should like better than
to jump from one tree to another
kSpotcoat sighed heavily.
Peter understood. Excuse me, Mr..
Leopard" said he. what l meant to
ask was why Leopards at home climb
trees"
Spotcoat the Leopard sighed once
more. They climb trees" said he.

Getting Away From Symmetry
By MARY MARSHALL.

one side and buttonholes on the other.
Sashes were tied with symmetrical
bows right in the middle of the back.
And hair was parted precisely in the
middle, and the strands on either side
were arranged as nearly like each
other as it was humanity possible to
make them.
So characteristic was that sym
metry of Victorian fashions that
when we see q frock made precisely
alike on both sides, worn with hair
parted in the middle and arranged
alike on both sides, we usually pro-
nounce the effect as quite Victorian,
quaint and demure. Frocks of the
period type are to be found that fol-
low this rule of symmetry. and with
frocks of this sort the center hair
part-if becoming-is often most
effective.
But the dressmaker of today likes
to make wraps and frockS that are
different in some way or another on
the two sides. And in this they
have good classic precedent, for the
drapery Of the Greeks and Romans
was almost invariably unsymmet-
rical.
There is, of course, nothing new
at all about this one-sided treatment,
but dressmakers are prone to speak
of it as one Of the new tendencies
of the season. Tailored clothes and
sports things usually are in a meas
ure alike on the two sides-save
where a double-breasted closing pre-
vents perfect likeness. And frocks
of the period type also are usually
likesided. but the new soft draped
frocks, which are liked so much by
well dressed women for evening ana
afternoon are usually of the one
sided variety.

In the early hours the Judgment may
be unreliable, especially where women
are concerned.
1t is we'll to postpone business with
women until the aspects are more
favorable and, of course, romance is
to be avoided.
There is a favorable rule for bank
ing and financial matters in the after
noon and financiers are to benefit from
causes not usually considered IN
routine business.
Farmers are to profit greatly this
year. if the stars are rightly read,
Again shoppers are warned that the
cost of clothing is to advance.
Persons whose birth date it is may
experience changes in the coming
year, which may be unfavorable to
romance and marriage.
Children born on that day may have
decided opinions that interfere with
their progress, but they are likely to
be exceedingly gifted.

Pimples.

During April and May my corre-
spondence always shows an increased
number of letters from young girls
land young men. too) who complain of
pimples and such skin eruptions.
Now, pimples or blackheads, or
"acne," as doctors call it, has several
possible causes. SebaceouS or fat Sc
creting glands run all through the
skin, as you know, ending in open
ings on the surface. A hard yellow
material collects there, in layers, like
the skins of an onion, which fills up
and distends the glands and blackens
at the ends. Sometimes this hard
matter sets up irritation and fostering.
That's more complicated form. Nat
urally, the particular gland that Is
choked up cannot go on functioning,
throwing off moisture and waste mat
ter from the body. any more than a
choked pipe will carry off water. Gen.
orally acne comes on the face or on
the back or chest.
The first treatment is dose Of lax
ative or an enema. Constipation is a
most common cause. The second Is to
drink two tumblerfuls Of hot water
before breakfast every day and four
tumblers Of cool never iced) water
during the day. That clears the kid
neys and keeps them clear. The third
point Ia diet. Too much food or too
starchy diet causes fermentation in
the stomach, acids and pimples.
So much for internal treatments

Buying Summer Furniture.

Buying Summer furniture is q prob
lem before many of us, and 1t is
pleasant one. Never before have the
shops presented such an attractive and
vafied display.
There are principally these types of
Summer furniture: Willow, fiber, reed,
cane and rattan. Choice of them is
not likely to be confined to type so
much as the manner and style in
which they are made up.
Many women are unfamiliar with
the distinguishing marks of willow,
reed and wicker. Willow work is al
ways coarser than reedwork, and the
latter requires more strands therefore
to give it equal strength. The cheap
est willow is the most expensive in
the long run. The best made willow
pieces are thoroughly pliable. Willow.
like reed or wicker, may be bought
uncolored and be painted to suit.
Reed is nothing more than the
smaller sizes of rattan and it is not as
strong as willow. In buying this
type of furniture remember that quail
ity varies with price. and one must
pay for well constructed pieces of good
material.
Women with knowledge of good
workmanship will get the greatest
value for their money. Notice the
back of the chairs, for example. A
basketweave back is springy enough
to be comfortable rest for the back
and shoulders. If the finish Or braided
trimming is set on fiat. 1t will be
found to furnish more give" to the
chair than the old rigid finish.
If Summer furniture is colored,
make certain that the colors are wa
terproof, 1t will be found, of course.
that pieces supplied with cushions cost
more than those without. If you have
the cushions, you can usually secure
an allowance. Magazine pockets can
be woven into an ordered chair at very
slight additional cost.
Suites of wicker, willow and reed
are sold at advantageous prices to
those who can use them. 1t is advis.
able in many cases to select ones
pieces individually to suit ones re-
