THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, July %.

Maleflc aspects appear to dominate
tomorrow, according to astrology. 1t Is
a day for rest and recreation.
Women are well directed under this
sway, which makes for happiness in the
home and harmony in all domestic re-
lations.
1t is an suspicious day for music, and
for meetings at which there is friendll-
ness or intellectual interest manifested.
In the aspects for the day, there is a
sign making for restlessness and a de-
sire to escape from serious thought.
Letters written tomorrow may not be
pleasant to receive since the tendency
may be to dwell on the sombre side OF
life.
Unusual Summer weather may be
expected in many places. for extremes
of temperature are forecast.
This aspect is held to have strong
influence on the night pleasures OF cities
and is read as presaging much dissipa-
ton.
Persons whose birth date it Is have
auguries of Journeys. They may have
dealings with commissions or confer
ences.
Children born on that day probably
will have artistic ambitions The sub
jects of this sign usually are honest and
upright and not egotistical enough to
succeed unless aided.

lawn and transform it as could be
wished? It can be done, and here are
some directions.
Use old kitchen chairs for the seats
Paint them with some bright water
proof paints. For table. use one OF
the kitchen variety. perhaps an old
one. or. If none is available. cheap
new one. Paint 1t also. All the work
can be done out of doors. so from the
very start the garden can be enjoyed.
At night the chairs should be turned
SO that the back is uppermost, and the
seat will shed any water should 1t rain.
Rest the backs against some trees or a
wall. This avoids the bother of taking
them indoors, which is too much
trouble
For the bird bath dig hole just
deep enough to sink a large round or
oval basin far enough down for the rim
to be level with the ground Fill it
with water. Put white stones or a
fringe Of small plants around the edge
where the soil would show in an un-
slightly line before the smooth grass
grows undisturbed. The birds will soon
find 1t, and splash and fiutter their
little wings to dry afterward
An old carriage or wagon umbrella
can be covered with canvas and form
a chic lawn awning. Any woman can
cover the umbrella. The fashion for
making a circular piece fit a beach
parasol suggests how TO cover this UNI
brella frame with awning Cut hole
in the middle of the circle and through
it thrust the tip of the rod. tack it in
place and put frill to cover the nails.
Sew the hemmed edge of the awning to
the spoke tip. A length of iron pipe
or wooden pole can be sunk In the
ground and the handle of the umbrella
be held to 1t by an iron band.
All these things can be done so
quickly that they can be enjoyed almost
Immediately.
