This cape, so called, really consists only of a'square of the material at the back held at two corners by long scarf ends of the same material which hang to the knees in the front.

Conditlons are fairly good for gen- eral affairs until noon, and there- after, three excellent aspects occeur hich are very favorable for business matters. They are especially good in their influence on professional under- takings, commercial contracts and electrical work, A certain amount of ; aggressiveness can be safely coun- seled today. A child born today will be abnor- mally responsive to the conditions by which it is surrounded in its early and will be more influenced by the advice and counsel of its eld Every care should, therefore, be exercised to de- velop its disposition along right lines, =0 that its mind may receive training which, later on in life, its character will reveal. If today fs vyour bhirthday vyou would derive much greater enjoyment from life, and give much greater pleasure to those around you, if you would cease to cofitradict and argue on each and every pretext. You have a character and disposition which, un- der ordinary conditions, would charm and attract; you do not know, how- ever, how to make a good window display of your wares, and mix in with the fine goods of pleasantness and amiability the coarser merchan- dise of dispute and contrariety. If principles of vital importance were involved; if right and wrong were the issues; If success or failure were at stake; then argument and op- position would be justified and de- manded. When. however, there is no principle involved, no aquestion of right or wrong, no risk of success or naril than ordi- | faflure, It is at once vexing and as- gravating to have every little plan criticized, every expressed thought debated, and _even unimportant ac- tions censored. Tn your business or professional 1ife, vour associates think well of you, but’ never fail to lament what they term vour “cantankerousness.” As a result of your habit of captious criti- cism, your advice is rarely sought, and conferences with you are studiously avolded. Tn his home life~ the fault-finder is never very happy, nor does he radiate, in any_way, shape or form, content- ment. Many a kindly act is stillborn because of the chill of undeserved criticism: many a charitable thought remains unuttered because of the ar- Fumentative reception it would en- counter. Argument in a cause worthy of de- bate, is a weapon at once powerful and useful. Argument, for the sake of argument, ceases to be a weapon and becomes only a foolish habit. Well known persons born on this date are: William A. Buckingham, Governor _of Connecticut; Frederick Fraley, financier; Albert G. Riddle, Jawyer; Amelie J, Boomer, reformer; Pierre G. T. Beauregard, soldier; Dan- fel L. Braine, rear admiral. (Copyright, 1924.) Chinese Delight.

Fuji was also on a powder blue hat, and its snow was white, and its clouds. And one saw this scene through a scarlet Japanese gateway. This is also shown in the sketch. Other hats depicted the Alps: or a tropical scene with waving palms; or tossing waves of deep green, white- capped, on a jade green shape. Some designs ran to houses.

Matvimonial Repeaters. |DorothyDix Advises Re- marrying to Keep Vows Fresh. Recipe for Keeping the Pep and Flavor in Mar- riage — Get Married Over Again Every Five Years and Thus Revive Romance. A MAN and woman of my acquaintance have celebrated each of the offical anniversaries of their marriage—the wooden wedding, the tin wedding, etc., and now the sliver wedding—by getting married over again. They do the thing up properly with a religlous ceremony at'the church in which they renew their marriage vows, a wedding supper with a bride's cake and a bridal tour. They say that this repetition of the marriage ceremony not only re- vives romance in their hearts, but brings vividly before their minds all that they meant their marriage to be when they first stood before the altar, and that they take up their lives together each time with fresh enthusiasm and more determination to make their marriage a success. It seems to me that this is a fine idea, and one that may be adopted with profit by many other husbands and wives. most marriages do slump, and even when they are not actuall go stale and flat, and lose their pep and flavor. For it is undeniable that unhappy they Also it is true that there are thousands upon thousands of married couples who are really fond of each other but who, through long habit, have come o treat each other with no more consideration than they show the check book, or the kitchen stove, or any other article of daily use and convenfence. Certainly, it would add enormously to the happiness of these people If they could recapture the vision of their youth again, when they never doubted that their romance would end like the fairy story—"and they were married and lived happily ever afterward.” Of course, experience is bound to discount optimism. reality is never as beautiful as the dream. palpitations and thrills. the nerve. cooing.

For clipping the lashes is a necessary part of any treatment. You must use yYour curved manicure scissors and keep the points out from the eyes. You must clip carefully, taking off the least bit of the ends of the hairs. It is not necessary to cut the lashes very short, but the cut- ting must be repeated at about fort- nightly intervals for some months. Then you must find a cream that will make the lashes grow. I see many are advertised. I know little of their value. You can use a hair tonic on the eyebrows, but not the lashes, for if it gets into the eyes it will sting and smart unbearably, per- haps even injure the eyesight. You should use only fats that you know grow hair.

You know it was his plan to make every- body think Chatterer the Red Squir- rel was the only one who would steal eggs. He knew that if Chatterer was discovered two or three times trying to steal eggs he would be the one to be blamed If some of those eggs were stolen without the thief being seen. But Sammy had been sitting in a tree where he could look right down in and see the eggs of Mre. Robin hen she left the nest. He had cried, ‘Thief! Thief! Thief!” the instant Chatterer had started to climb that tree, and he had been the first to chase Chatterer. But as soon as all the other birds had come flocking to chase Chatterer out of the Old Or- chard Sammy Jay had stopped. All the other feathered folk wers occu- pled in chasing Chatterer. No one was watching him. No one was giv- ing him a thought. Here was oppor- tunity. Perhaps he would never have another opportunity like it. Sammy looked this way and looked that way. No one was looking at him. Straight to_the nest of Welcome Robin he flew. There were four eggs in that nest. Sammy’s eyes glistened as he looked at them. He dearly loves eggs. Two minutes later there were only some pleces of broken shell in that nest. The feathered folk were all over at the edge of the Old Forest nearest the Green Forest. Sammy turned and flew in the other direction. Mre. Robin was the fi You see, she was the one who was most anxious. It was the tree in which her nest was where Chatterer had been discovered.

Choosing China The prettiest possible dishes won't prevent a poor cook's serving burnt or otherwise spoiled food—every bride knows that! But because she also realizes that even her successful con- coctions will taste better when they are served up in attractive china. she looks for beauty, as well as dura- bility, when she makes her cholces Tt is always sensible to select china from “open stock.” It is especially so for the voung bride. If she buvs a *‘set,” instead, she likely to find, when she is ready to add to har stock of tableware or to replace pieces that have been broken, that the pattern is mo longer made. If, on the other hand, she buys from “open stock’ she can add to her sup- piv of china from time to time, as her social needs demand or the adequacy of h pocketbook permits. The mo ern bride sees tha suitability of this time-to-time china buying also from the standpoint of smallness of the family, and, probably, scarcity closet room. The “hundred-pi: complete,” must be without temp tions for her! Now, there are three factors the bride, in common with more experi- enced housekeepers, should consider in selecting china. These are glaze, body and pattern. “Glaze” is the protective formed by a varn fused by extreme of the e. “Body” is the basic material itself, and it is usually either of porcelain, “china” or stoneware.
