THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Saturday, June 8,

Tomorrow will be an uncertain day,
according to the reading of the stars.
Astrologers find that both benefic and
malenc aspects are active.
The morning is not time to deal
with ones bankers. especially If loan
is the objective.
1t is not an auspicious date for sign
ing contracts or leases. Deceit and
Misrepresentation may be prevalent.
Neptune frowns on many ambitions,
1t is forecast. making 1t easy for men
to deceive themselves and to prepare
for disappointment.
The planetary rule encourages vanity
and egotism, and both men and women
are supposed to be peculiarly suscep-
tible to the sinister influences of the
stars.
While those who plan big enterprises
may be inclined to be too sanguine dur
ing the prevalence of this sign. the rule
should be good for merchants and
manufacturers.
Money will be spent extravagantly all
through this year, in which the con-
ception of the necessaries of life in
cludes all the luxuries.
The forecast seems TO presage the
purchase of airplanes and automobiles
in unprecedented numbers.
New multiInillionaires are TO multi
ply this year. when cooperation in
business Is to be extended.

Your Baby and Mine
ny MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The idea of babies splashing joyfully
In their tubs Is an alluring one and
imagination balks at the picture OF the
unnatural child who screams from be-
ginning to end of this ceremony. But
in many cases the last is as true as the
first. What should be delightful be-
ginning or ending to baby's day re-
solves itself into torture for the sensi-
tive mother who conducts the neces-
sary ablutions to the tune OF infant
shrieks.
There are always reasons why the
baby acts in this manner. Through
ignorance, awkwardness, carelessness
or what not. the tub has been made so
unpleasant to the child that he halls
its approach with howls.
The temperature of the water may
be wrong Babies are sensitive to
changes. and what may seem like just
nice warm water to the hand of
mother used to testing dish or laundry
water may seem we'll nigh scalding to
the babys delicate skin. This is no
matter for guesswork. A 25-cent bath
thermometer will tell you the exact
temperature, so that baby's bath can be
the same today and tomorrow. not
matter for burned flesh one day and
goosefiesh the next. Ninety-nine to 100
degrees is the temperature most pleas
ing to the small baby.
The trembling young mother. fearful
that this Wriggly morsel Is going to
slide out of her arms. has a. tendency
to grasp him with the tenacity she
would employ clinging to creased pole.
Babies hate to be held tightly and they
will scream with rage If their arms and
legs and bodies are held in a vice-like
grasp Put the baby on table or a
bed. where he is safe from rolling off
and handle him with the utmost gen.
tlencss. Slide his clothes downward,
never over his head. and put them on
the same wav Put petticoat and dress
inside each other and make one opera
tion all that is necessary. The baby
should never have sense of being re-
strained or he'll shrek his distate
for it,
If all preparations for the bath are
made before the baby is undressed, If
the water is lust right and the same
each day. and the baby handled as If
he we're human and not log of wood
bath time should be as peaceful and
enjoyable as all the pictures of 1t would
indicate.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.

1t isn't that you're ashamed of Tom
or Dick or Harry. Mercy, no: you think
he's worth five of every other man liv-
ing. But you do want him to appear
10 the very best advantage in front of
your friends and family. ~
And you nearly die of apprehension
and dread when he appears unexpect-
edly in an awful green suit---really
terrible.
You've had slight suspicious concern
ing his taste in clothes, There was a
bright blue tie with yellow dots. You'd
worried about that dreadfully.
And there was a certain reddish over
coat lined with bright green silk. Even
though the lining hadn't showed you'd
turned sick whenever you thought of It..
Yes, you had had your little doubts
before, and now they were crystallized
upon beholding this Enthusiastically green
suit.
It is brand-new. and he is radiating
dissatisfaction and pride. What can
you do? You grit your teeth, smile
griinly and tell him he looks perfectly
stunning Yes, you do, If you have any
sense!
Never for one instant do you blurt
out the awful truth--your true, un-
adorned impression of the horror he is
wearing so proudly.
No, my girl. you can't change his
taste by razzing his sartorial blunders.
You've got to go slow. You've got to
protect and cherish his ego. Mustn't
try to destroy 1t with cruel ridicule,
Just you hang on tight to your self
control. tell him the green suit is a
riot, and then get 1T firmly fixed in
his mind that whenever he steps out
3@sx in fSf
be present.
That's the only sure way to curb his
wild tastes for sky-blue ties and laven-
der socks.
How simple when you're both on a
shopping tour together to point out to
him discreetly the superiority of gray
oyercoat over a yellow one, How
charming to remind him that he really
looks so distinguished in dark blue, its
a pity he doesn't wear more of 1t.
What can be Simpler than speech
like this: oh. I saw the most stunning
man in the world downtown today. He
was simply perfect from head TO foot.
And he was wearing the most gorgeous
outfit--a stunning dark suit and coat,
etc, etc.

Ice cream is good. but you can't eat
more than couple of gallons at one
time. Fried chicken Is also good, but
Benjamin Franklin is authority for the
statement that 20 successive meals OF
fried chicken is bit boresome..
We are bored If we get an overdose
of any one thing. This may happen In
anything from jazz to philosophy. We
can stand just about so much even Of
the things we like best. We tire OF
sameness in what we eat. see. hear, or
otherwise experience with any of the
nine senses.
At each repetition of an experience
our desire for 1t decreases. This Is ma
lures method of protecting us from ex-
cess and overindulgence. Otherwise we
would kill ourselves off very quickly by
overeating or OVERRIDING any activity
that gives us satisfaction. Nature skill
fully reduces the satisfaction with
each successive repetition until we get
cloyed and quit entirely.
When boredom Is confined to any one
experience 1t is gradually dissolved and

by the popular song a few years ago.
