II don't suppose you wish your son to

however, I do not believe he cares to

Most fathers are prone to discourage
their sons from carrying on in the yo-
cations to which they have devoted
their activities. Upon close inyestiga-
ton it will be discovered that this Is
not true of the Army. Navy and the
theatrical profession. The sons Of OFF,
GERS and actors have, in many instances,
become as famous as their fathers. Not
always, though, for just the other day
we saw an old character in the movies

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Saturday. july 81,

The early morning will be an auspi-
cious time to start any engineering or
contracting projects.
Under this sway executive work IT
every sort is we'll directed. It Is time
to push business or manufacturing in
terests.
Afternoon and evening are favorable
for associating with men who are sue
cessful, especially those from whom
favors may be expected.
The evening Is fortunate for meet
ings or banquets at which public ques-
tionS or politics happen to be dis
cussed.
1t is not lucky day for beginning
any important venture or for opening
new places of business.
There will be novel occupations de-
veloped as the Autumn advances, 1t IL
forecast. for strange inventions will
become. like the radio, mediums for big
enterprises.
Chemistry Is to play an important
part In new projects. and to open doors
of activity not hitherto dreamed OF,
astrologers predict.
1t is not first-rate rule under which
to become engaged or to push ones suit.
Late in the day those who seek en-
ployment may be successful. for disap-
poiniments earlier may be obliterated
by good luck.
Women should keep in the back
ground while this configuration pre-
walls. for it is not promising in its
aspects.
The seers point out that this is a
transition time in the development OF
women for public service and for this
reason they will encounter opposition.
especially where rewards for political
work are sought.
Persons whose birth date II Is have
the augury of success in chosen voca-
tons. The year should be prosperous,
il pleasure does not interfere.
Children born on that day probably
will be industrious and able to win high
place. They should be protected from
their friends. for they will be great
favorites with persons of both sexes.

She walked into the dining room made to hold twelve girls comfort ably. She had had only a Hap lunch" when she had entertained the Friday Club here before. And those spots on the wall paper! The cracks in the shades! The darned places in the old Administer carpet! !. It all looked so mean and poor in the searching sunlight. It was in that moment as she stood alone in the dining room that the ghost of an idea first came into her mind. She would be earn ing money of her own very soon. Why couldn't she have little place of her own somewhere when that time came. Only a room perhaps at first, but in some self-respecting street where she could ask her friends. There was no reason why she had to stay in this Slough of Despond forever. was there? Not if she could pay her way out of it, certainly! Plenty of other girls who worked had homes of their own.
 Long ago Emmy had dreamed of the time when she could earn enough ! money to move her whole family out of the little yellow house. But those were the days when she had counted upon her voice to make a fortune for her. She knew, now, how impractical that dream had been. It took money to train a voice to the place where it had any earning power. Money. Money. Money. Mrs. Milburn was coming down the stairs now. "Timc to get ready for church, Emmy" she called. "Is Robb going to drive you there this morning?"
 No" said Emmy shortly, and then: "We had fuss last night. We're through with each other." Upstairs, dressing before her dim old toilet glass she thought how little of fuss there had been. Robb had said almost nothing.
 We'll, it was all over and she'd better put it out of Her mind. It had been the thing todo, o,anyway. No use letting him get it into his head that she was going to marry him as soon as he was able to support a wife in Flower street style! Better l for him to know the truth as he did know it-that she couldn't face a life of poverty even for love. And did she love him, anyway?
 For an instant the memory of i that moment under the sycamore l tree eight days ago swept through
New Britain herald., 1928-10-29

Emmys mind. Surely she had been in love with Robb then, when she had lifted her face to his in the warm. throbbing darkness and wait ed for him to take her in his arms!
 But last night I didn't want him to kiss me-" she argued it all out with herself. brushing the coppery gold of her hair and slipping into the plaid suit Marianna had given her. And even if I had wanted him to, how do I know I won't want oth- CT men to do the same thing later on? How do I know I won't be in love like that dozen times before I'm really in love? After all, Robb's the only man who's ever made love to me. Probably that's why inn agined I belonged to him for keeps"
 And so she settled the thing in her own mind.
 At eighteen. how is one to know that moments like the moment un- der the sycamore tree come only once in lifetime-and with only one person? How is one to know? But then. how are we to know anything in this world un- til we have come to the very end of the road that winds down the years ?
 The door of Perry's room stood open as Emmy passed it on her way downstairs. He was sitting at lis table with a Greek textbook open in front of him. But he was not studying Greek. He had pencil in his hand and he was idly sketch ing the head of girl on sheet of cartridge paper.
 Emmy looked at 1t from over his shoulder. Something about the rough sketch, something about the shape of the face he was drawing made her think suddenly of little Lola Sinclair.
 T saw a friend of yours yester- day, Perry" she said. buttoning her gloves. Lola Sinclair"
 'Lovey Snclair?' he asked Where did you see her, for the love of little green apples?" He covered the drawing with his | hand and looked up.
