BY MIMI.
Omen Season for Women.

The game laws protect the deer and
partridgeS SO that it Is only in certain
short seasons that man can get
shot at them Men are your hunters,
all right and if it isn't one kind of
creature it's another that the sports
man tries to bring down.
Time was when there were long
closed seasons for women, who kept
themselves out of mans way and were
pretty likely to draw his fire when
they put in an appearance. But this
is the long open season for feminine
game. Women are quite in evidence,
it's easy to get acquainted with 'em,
| and their frankness is such that
man can propose marriage if he has
the nerve-and the cash.
Women must have grown tired of
their one-time seclusion, for they are
now rambling all over the fields. In
the old days there were certain re-
stricted seasons of Spring and Fall for
marriages, and June was your great
month for brides.
But nowadays women are just as
ready to marry in November as May,
and men are just as shy in June as in
December. We might be better off If
we went back to the old-style closed
season and the restrictions as to intro
ductions. pettings and the like.
Women used to want men and they
got em. Today they want freedom
and they are getting just a little more
than they like It's fun to wear a
derby, but it maybe was more fun
when the kelley was on your mans
head Women wanted to throw off
their shackles, but now they are dis
covering that the rings went with the
handouts. Men aren't putting the
chains and ropes of pearls on women
the way they used to.
Ali of this trouble came about when
women decided to come out of their
hiding and relieve themselves of the
trappings that had come down to them
from Asiatic harens. The ills we have
now are those of our open season.
When the deer march along in
droves, man doesn't want to waste a
shot on them. When the frost fish
tumble around on the beach, the fancy
fisherman won't cast the fly.
I guess women are too plentiful to-
day, or they make themselves too ap-
parent. AS soon as woman begins to
make herself scarce, the hunters and
anglers among the men will get busy.
The open season has its advantages.
but 1t must have been fun to have the
hunters after you as soon as you
showed yourself in the open.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper. provided O stamped,
addressed envelope is inclosed.

The early morning hou,s may bring
anxietieS to men and women who
carry heavy financial responsibilities.
They should guard against unusual
conditions.
1t is read as an unpropiticus day for
all who seek rewards for political activ-

Under this direction of the stars the
human mind inclines toward criticism.
Pessimists multiply while this Config-
uration prevails.
Neptune is in threatening mood, ac-
cording to the seers. who forecast re-
nswed agitation.
Under this sway there may be much
double dealing and eva5ivenesS. The
rule is supposed 10 encourage deceit
and even indifference to tho truth.
The confguration is read as forecast
ing much pretense and false appear
ance of wealth or success.
New phases of careers of dubious
character are prognosticated. and
many persons will seek 20 live by their
wits The society bandit will flourish.
In the evening friendly stars gain
dominance and there is 4 good sign

Merchants and manufacturers should

Artistry which will out its stamp

Persons whose birth dase 1t is may
have much that is unusual in their new

Children born on that day probably
will be intense in nature and capable
of fine intellectual attainments. Girls
