But thus far all these endeavors have been unsuccessful. Now comes a well known Argen- tinian writer and: inventor to tell us about the diseases of pearls and how tagion with any of, the human dis- eases, and thosc most dangerous to the pearls are the diseases of a specific character. Mercury is the greatest enemy of the pearl. A string of pearls -whose wearers have been subjected to a mercury treatment is certgin to be infected to a point etrated ‘to the very heart or center of the pearl It is really déad. Accorging to Senor Barsantf's the- ory, the pearl contains a mystericus sap which, like human blood, fights o the last ditch zgainst any bacteria finding their way into its cirkulation. “I have been able,” continued the Inventor of the cure, “to classify all the diseases to which the pearls are subject according to degrees.

OLLY JORDA mother was a minister's child, and, ac- cordinz to Hoyle, minister's children should be a bit woolly if not wild. Dolly did not care to prove an cxception to the rule, so she ran away from the rectory, where hair ribbons and like dissipations were denied and. donnfng a ballet | skirt, she made for the stage. Dolly inherited her mother's liking for the footlights. She made a flying start toward a career in a milliner's establishment, but she found all the bonnets poky and beat it for the stage door of the Dublin Theater to wait for Richard Daly to ease forth. Daly was stage manager. and when Dolly asked to be taken at face value |- he gave her a small salary and a small pa s Phoebe in “As You Like Tt."

Dolly's family which consisted of her mother and eight others more or less like Dolly, moved to Leeds. There her mother met an old friepd in the rotund shape of Tate Wilkingson.

BY MARION MEYER DREW. These astrological forccasts bave greatly entertained students of the science of hor- oscopes. The author says that if your date of birth is not included among the lists given below, then, unless you are the rare exception in ipnumerable cases, July will pass without unduly disturbing you. JRING July the influence of the planet Mars is most In evidence, and very appropri- ately, too, for Mars is the planet closest in touch with heat, fire, gunpowder and explosions. The stationary position of this body In the eleventh degree of the sign Sagit- tarius affects most strongly those born on December 32, 4, 5 and 6 of any year. Men born on these dates will feel an unusual amount of energy, and, according to their individual de- velopment will use this power for ad- vancement or mere business. Women born on these days are more apt to feel the martial ray in impulsive love affairs. Both will be greatly disposed to hasty actions all during July. The following list of birthdays will also be subject to the impulse and energy of Mars, but in less degree. Accl- dents will be common to these people, and any one whose birthday is men- tioned below would do well to avoid travel and take extra precautions in setting off firecrackers. 1875—January 1 to 15, March 1 to 11. 1576—November 26 to December 5. 1877—January 31 to February 4. 1880—November 10 to 16. 1882—December 8 to 17 1888—November 8 to 20. 1890—April 3,to May 12, August 19 to 25. 1893—November 10 to 21. 1898—February 10 to May 1, Novem- ber 1 to 30. 1900—This is a strenuous month for nearly every one who first saw the light of day in the year 1900. Janu- ary, February, March, April, May, November and December of this year are entirely under the sway of Mars for the next thirty days. They ought all to carry accident Insurance and put every spare dollar safely into the bank. It can be spent just as well two months from now, you know. *x ¥ ¥ ¥ PEOPLE born March 3 or 4 of any year are under the influence of the change-producing planet Uranus @uring this month. Uranus is now stationary in the degrée in which their sun weas placed at birth—making them restless, and bringing all kinds et unexpected factors into their busi- ness and domestic "conditions. For- tunately, July does not spread this influence as widely as have previous months, and the few dates listed &s follows are about the only ones which will show the drastic sway of this foroe: 1875—December 23 to 26. 2877—Maroh 16 to 29, July 5 to 9, Beptember 4 to 8, October 26 to De- cember 8. She was good, and she knew it, 8o she went to Tate and admitted it. y. Wilkle,” she told her boss, “I'm off these tank towns. Let's make a stab at London, To London they went, and for a while Dolly couldn’t be seen for the fog. She played second fiddle to Mrs. Siddons, the queen of London tragedy, but an unknown angel backed her in a Stellart part in “The Country Girl,” and Dolly again took her troubles to Tate Wilkingson. “Tate, 1 need a new name. I've beén hovering under Miss Francis, Miss Phillips and so fhany other transient nom du stages, till I forget myself which T am at the identical moment. I want to be a Mrs. Some- body, so T'll be distinguished, like | Mrs. Siddons. Think me up a new name." Tate was a quick thinker. “You've crossed the river of doubt, Dolly. T shall henceforth call you Jordan So Dolly became Mrs. Dora Jordan, and the rage of London town. Her comedy was supreme, and she looked so cute in boys' clothes that Mrs. Siddons turned green h envy, played Macbeth to a half empty house, and threatened to go in for slapstick. Charlie Lamb stopped editing Shakespeare to write odes on Mrs. Jordan's shape. Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt wasted pounds of copy paper trying to explain why comedy was superior to high tragedy. It was small wonder that a lad named Ford (Richard from the front) asked Mrs. Jordan to share her salary with him. Ford was a barrister by profession and a strolling actor by necessity, and for a while Dolly supported him in grand style. T~ Dolly and her Ford were happy to- gether for three years or more—in fact, until the Duke of Clarence nosed his royal yacht into the Thames at London. The duke had been attached to the royal navy. but when he went “L WANT A REGULAR HI to the theater with a party of first- Were You Born in the Month of July? 1891—May 10 to 17, August 29 to September 6. 1892—January 1 to 7. 1903—April 17 to 24, October 21 to Nevember 30. The planet Neptune is also rather in abeyance during July of 1922. It will bring Into the lives of all people born on the Tth or 8th of August of any year its tendency toward the occult, otherwise little is to be expected from it. In very much less degree it will influence those born on the following days, but probably will only make them unduly nervous or sensitive to outside: ! impressions : 1874—September 27 to December 31. 1875—July 13 to August 15. | 1883—August 15 to 20. 1884—January 22 to 28, May 1 to 6, August 1 to 10. 1889—I ebruary and March entire. 1896—July 14 to 24. Saturn continues its restricting in- fluence over those born on September 25 or 26 of any year. Persohs whose birthdays are mentioned as coming under the powersof this planet for July might just as well go on a vaca- tion and lay all thoughts of busines: aslde, for no new ventures will bring results until this transit {s past, and indeed little can be, expected *from even ordinary activities. It may give them a bit of mental depression when they: think of this, but. if they will understand that these transits are temporary in effect, and look forward to the period when they are past, they will get much more out of life than if they worry and fume through each period of influence. Think of this if your birthday Is one of these: 1874—January 1 to February 13, August 13 to 23. 1884—November 1 to December 31. 1885—January 1 to April'l, August 18 to September 21, November 2 to December .3, 1886—July 3 to 8, July 23 to Au- sust 4, 1892—September 7 fo 24. 1895—August 15 to 23, September 4 to 11. - - 1897-—November 1 to 13, 1898—June 17 to July 8. * * X % 5 = UPITER, the planet of all prosperi- ty and good fortune, will affect most markedly during July those ‘whose birthdays fall on the 4th, Sth and 6th of Ootober of any year.

Each night thereafter, the duke occupied the royal box, situated in the wings, so that Dolly, as she passed out, must needs say, “Good evening, duke,” if nothing else. * X X ¥ THE: duke persevered, and the fam- ily Ford began to rattle. Rich- ard had a streamline finish to his figure, but he couldn't develop the necessary horsepower or a limousine shape. It wasn't long before Dolly started a one-sided dialogue at the breakfast table. “Beat it, Tin Lizzie,” she sald in effect. “I want a regular high- powered speed wagon.

Make it five hundred.” The duke wrote a note to Dolly tell- ing her what the king had ordered. For apswer, she tore a strip from the bottom of one of her programs and maliled it to his highness, the Duke of Clarence.
