less favorable
Women arc subject to good influences
from the stars and they should be
stimulated to philanthropic or altruistic

Success In the law is indicated for

colleges next month
The younger generation is now SUBJ

read as exceedingly fortunate. making
for serious endeavor and growing civic
consciousness.
Astrologers have explained frequently
that this is a new era in which many
adjustments must take place, but the
old ideas must be modified in any event.
Morning weddings are subject to
fortunate influences, but clash of wills
should be avoided at any cost,
There is sign supposed TO encourage
intrigue and double dealing, especially
in politics.
This Is read as an unlucky day for
aviation and special care should be
taken in flying.
This is not a favorable day to con-

Features of a New Ensemble

blue Chanel violet and black.
The sleeveless mauve lace ffock
shown In the sketch with the rather
loose-hanging, flaring- -sleeved coat to
so with It,
These all represent a species of en-
Semble which is at last gaining favor
in this country and which, 1t seems to
me. might be found extremely useful in
almost any Woman'S wardrobe,
The sleeveless gown Of lace or chiffon
would be appropriate for more or less
informal evening occasions--worn with
the coat ii would make charming
formal afternoon costume for Summer
and Just the thing for theater or
restaurant wear when one hcsttates To
go in formal evening dress. There can
be no longer doubt as to the popularity
this season of the lace evening frock.
Black lace is especially we'll liked--next
in favor comes ecru, then the darker
shades Of beige. There are also oc-
casional frocks Of flesh color ID here
and there one of brown.
Envelope purses made from canvas
embroidered with Wifla or WOODEN yarn
are carried appropriately with light
Sumner frockS and sports costumes
and fortunately for the woman who has
a limited dress allowance these purses
may be made at home at slight expense
Just the cost of a bit Of canvas the

BRAIN TESTS

The time limit for this test is 10 min
utes, Several sentences are given here.
IN each one all vowels have been omit
ted But each sentence has only ono
vowel. although the vowel may appear
more than once For instance. the let
ter 'e" may appear eight times In one
sentence. but no other vowel will be in
that sentence.
The object is to insert the vowels In
each word and translate the sentence.
Example
LII CTS ON CTCH RTS.
Answer: All cats can catch rats.
(Letter A inserted)
Insert and distribute the correct
vowel in each of the following.

5. w WHIT VISIT WIN w WR

8. WHR WR TIL MN w SNT HR7
Each of these makes a readable sem

quires at least one vowel, but all vowels
are the same in each sentence.
/. Good dogs do not growl
2. Go from Boston 10 London.
3. The sweet breeze seemed serene.

DIET AND HEALTH
By LULU HUNT PETERS, M. d.

How soon can you lose 1917 pounds
Well, II you go on the one to three day
liquid diet OF 500 to 800 G. a day you
Will lose at onsE from three to six
pounds. (Some lose as high as 10
pounds in three days. After that two
pounds week Is a sufficient loss. SO
you can lose your excess in from six
weeks to two months safely.
Adhesions.
E-Whether or not there will be ad-
hesions formed after an operation seems
to depend somewhat upon the individ-
ual, some not having any after an ex-
tensive operation and others having
them after smaller operations.
The modern surgeon doesn't have so
many adhesions now. for patients who
have had abdominal operations are
given some form Of exercise even be-
fore they sit up, which helps to pre-
vent their formation; and exercises to
continue after the patients get up TO
further help prevent their formation.
Sometimes adhesions may cause so
much trouble that another operation
has to be performed But II they give
only slight discomfort 1t Is probably
best To stand them rather than risk
the operation. with perhaps other ad-
hesions forming.
Exercises that bring into play the
abdominal muscles, begun very gradu-
ally and very gradually increased. may
furnish relief but 1t Is always wisest to
see your physician about these.
Rough Skin.
Mrs. N.-Try a solution containing
Qlycerin on your daughters arm. Use
one fourth elycerin and three fourths
rose -water, with little lemon juice in
It. Any preparation that contains o
small proportion of glycerin you VIII
