THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday. November 20.

Good and evil planetary influences
Will be strong tomorrow, but adverse
stars seem to dominate.
Women are well directed under this
planetary government, which Is sup
posed to aid them in carrying out their
plans.
It is an auspicious wedding day, but
care should be exercised to avoid fu-
ture differences of opinion or tastes.
Importers, merchants and all who
cater to the finer or artistic side of life
should profit greatly at this time, when
there will be a demand for what is
beautiful
Art will rule in America more widely
than 1t has In the past and the wealthy
will bestow large legacies on educational
| institutions where talent is developed.
Dress Is to be even more exploited
as one Of the great interests In modern
life and artists will do much to inn
prove the modes, it Is foretold.
The moons eclipse of today Is now
read as rather onlinous, because II
| brings Saturn rising and indicates
| trouble and corruption.
Russia Is to undergo changes that are

All the signs appear to presage for
1929 events Of tremendous import tc
the world and exacting to those who
bear heavy responsibilities.
A foreign visitor to Washington will
bring important messages OF future

who forever speak jargon weird, the

to view the work I've done, they see my

one in the least. In those days shortly
after the war when women just couldn't
snap out of the depression that they
had been fighting against during the
actual confiicts-and every one wore
brown and grays and blacks even for
evening-then RED was rather startling
because so few women wore 1t.

We wish TO thank the numerous
readers who have submitted their
opinions as to whether Washington

many splendid and interesting letters
have been received that it would not
be fair to print one without printing

that the majority agree that we are

Some one in the party had asserted
that the name OF certain we'll known
movie star was one of his own choos-
ing and that his real name was some
thing else again. There is no doubt
that his remark shattered the illusions
of number of the fair creatures who
experience ecstatie thrills at the sight
of their swash-buCkling hero, whose
flaming escapades touch the imagiras
ton and hearts of the colonel's lady
and Judy OGfady. The stars stage
name Is a rather fancy one (to put 1t
in a homely way). His real monickef
is as simple as John Smith.
It is reasonable to ses that at least
25 per cent of actors and actresses are
bearing names other than their orig
Smith. It may be shock to many
fans to know that Douglas Fairbanks
is not the actors real name. Chorus
girls In the majority of instances change
their names and probably only 10 per
cent Of them retain their family names.
The great screen lover Rudolph VAL
entin6 was one who chose to abandon
his family name for one more easily
pronounced ana remembered. Valen-
tir1o for some reason failed to "click"
with the male movie fans, although
he was adored by the feminine faction.
The cause of his unpopularity with
many of the masculine spectators OF
his pictures was not difficult to dis
cover. Valentino was sleek and polished.
He typified the Sheik as most men vision
one On the screen he was a smooth,
debonair and even an insidious figure,
and thus he won the disfavor of twoA
listed he4fr1en.
But Valentino was only playing q
role. No man sought the appreciation
of his sex more than the friendly
italian who came to this land to snare
a fortune. Alas, poor Valentino, we
knew him WELT
Until his death he wore a slave
bracelet Men snickered and asked
why. To them it was the mark OF
effeminancy. No man was less 80
than THE Sheik.' Rudy was an ath4
lete. His arms were like steel bands
and he could hit like pile-driver.
We sat together in Paris cafe the

French capital Few of the gay throrg

we're but four of us at his table. The

Valentino was In a gay mood. He
altefnated with the two young women
and led them to the crowded dance
floor, where one was scarcely able to

started his career In America. He was
never to see Paris again.

WINTER
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

With the approach of Winter many
people put away their cameras to COL
lect d season of dust, thinking there is
nothing left to photograph. Or they
save their films for a picture of sister
and Junior making the snow man.
From the point OF view of photograph
ing nature Winter seems to me not only
a very dramatic and poetic season for
camera studies, but it is also much the
easiest subject.
If you have ever tried to snap forest
in full leaf you have encountered dis
appointments. Not only are the lights,
high lights and half lights of Summer
very difficult to manage in the same
composition, but there is almost no
composition. The dense, wild, un-
trimmed thickets that make our East
ern American woods what they are,
with their peculiar, bird-haunted
charm, look like just exactly nothing at
all in most photographs. Skillful, in
deed, is he who can find any focusing
point, literal or figurative. any frames
to his composition, or any clear lines OF
design in Summer pictures. The usual
way out, with professional phot9gfaa
pliers, is to touch up the films aftef@

Couture for Small Face.

Dear Miss Leeds: ID I am a little
overweight, but my face is small and
my neck is rather thin. I have been
letting my hair grow and it is just a
good length to do up. How shall l

for a small face 1t Ii usually best to
brush the hair straight back from the

Curing Blackheads.

large bump on my chin. have
tried CASTLE soap without result. I
use makeup. I have fine wrinkles
on my face also. I have fair skin,
blue eyes and brown hair. What col
ors may I wear?-PATSY P.
Answer-The presence of blackheads
indicates lack of thoroughness in
cleansing the skin. You must use
plenty of warm water and soap every
night. Use tincture of green soap. as
it has antiseptic properties. Steam
your face first with a face cloth Wrung
out in hot water and then work in a
rich lather Rinse the lather second
time, letting the lather remain on
until dry. Now rinse thoroughly in
clean, warm water, press out the black
heads gently without bruising the skin,
open the pimples with a sterilized
needle and press out the pus. Rinse
in cold water and pat on an anti
septic lotion. Take warm, cleansing
bath each night and a cold sponge
