F EATURES Still Wear Hats Down Over Brow BY MARY 1t really is a wonder that accident insurance companies do not charge higher rates to women who insist on wearing hats that come down over their eves.. In London, you know, there was, last year, an alarming in- crease 4n the proportion of women Kille and injured in street accl- dents. It seemed hard to see just why this should be until some keen observe realized that the trouble must be due to the fact that so many wome wear hats so far over their eyes that they really have trouble in ng their way about city streets. ometimes, too, with the new poke ts the sides extend so as to ob- t the view at the sides, and add s a fur collar that comes up to s and the fashionable pedes- without an escort becomes & bad insurance risk.

A little way off on the ice was a little heap of snow. At least the young Otter thought it wasa heap of snow. He looked at it carelessly two or three times. But he didn't €0 over to it. He wasn't Interested in heaps of snow. The only thing of interest to him just then was what had become of that fish. It was very mysterious. He didn’t like a mystery. His uneasiness increased. So after a while he once more swam away. He wanted to ask his father or his mother what could have become of that fish, but he didn't. He was afraid he would be laughed at. He was afrald that they wouldn't believe he had caught it any more than his sister believed it. ow hardly had that young Otter disappeared when what he had taken for a little heap of snow disappeared too. It disappeared without a sound. You see, it was alive. It really wasn't & heap of snow at all. If the young Otter had seen It go he might possibly have guessed what had become of his big fish. But he dldn’t see It go, and the next time he visited that place he didn't even notice that that iittle white heap Was no longer there. (Copyright, 1025, by T. W. Burgess.) Cereal Muffins.

Capricorn. The influences prevailing up to noon {ndlcate & disposition to ex- tremes, or sudden conclusions. or presage unexpected changes. Great care must be exercised to be moderate in thought, speech and action, not giving expression to impulsive ideas, or acting without due deliberation. Later on in the day, the planetary as- pects improve to a marked degree, and clearly favor all lines of endeav- or, but especlally those related to commerclal enterprises or soclal functions. This seems to be an ideal opportunity for pushing to the ut- most any project that has hitherto engaged your interest, but has not, possibly, benefited by your energles. A child born today will be very vi- vaclous, and although it will not en- tirely escape the ailments of infancy, they will not, in any serious man- ner, affect its physical development. In character, it will be very deter- mined and positive, sometimes stub- born and sometimes impulsive. It will also be subject to moods but will not give way to them for any long time. It will be both capable and energetic and llke to lead. It will aiso be demonstrative and very af- fectionate, and its nature will demand love and attention. If today is your birthday, you are original {n almost everything you do, and this faculty should be cultivated, as It will bring good results in abun- dance. If you have children, they will show a bent for mechanics or for art. If you take care of your naturally strong and robust physique, you will escape all serious illnesses. You, owing to your originality, possess a very strong and an attrac- tive personality and your friends are legion. The only reason that your success has not been commensurate with your ability is the fear you have of putting some of your ideas into execution. Once your mind has con- cetved a plan, and you are satisfled as to its merits, despite its novel- ty or its apparent freakishness, you should not hesitate, but go straight ahead with the carrying out of the work. ‘Well known persons born on this date are: John Hancock, first signer of the Declaration of Independenc Francis H. Underwood, author; Ra mus B. Andergon, author and diplo~ mat; Henry A. Hazen, metereologist; Robert U. Johnson, editor; John S. Sargent, artist. (Copyright, 1925.) Useful Basket of Fruit.

STAR SHINGTON, |DorothyDix| If Life Hasn’t Given You Thing You’ve Wanted, Don’t Dwell on Disappointments—World Has Fine Consolation Prizes. Buggests New Slogdn for Feminine Bea Making the Best of Life IF I were going to suggest a slogan for my sex, it would be this: “The world is so full of @ number of things.” Which is a fact that few women ever find out. For the trouble with women is that they are special who set their hearts upon some particular thing, and if they can’t have that, they will have nothing. They will walk in darkness’ through -dreary years because they are holding some one swiall sorrow so closely before their eyes that it blots out all of the sunshine that would othetwise warm and cheer and comfort them. Of course, 1ite is full of disillusions and disappointments, of griefs and heartache and work and worries. But it.{s also full of pleasures and joy: of smiles and laughter and entertainment, and it is literally trus that happiness 1s a matter of self-determtnation. We can take it or leave it, as we please. And the pity of it 1s that women chioase to be miserable instead of happy because they concentrate thelr every thought upon the unpleasant thing in their lots instead of pusHing aside their annoyances, and making the most of thelr blessings. They prod themselves with the thorns in their pathway instead of gathering the flowers that bloom along it. There are, for instance, thousands of young women whose whole existence is turned into dust and ashes because they do not attract men, and do not have dates, as the other girls about them have. They brood over this untl]l they become sour and morbid, and they refuse to see that the world is full of a number of things besides jellybean youths and being beaued around to the sodawater counter and the movies. Getting marrfed isn't the only alluring thing a girl can do in these days. She can go Into business, or study a profession, and the woman who espouses a career instead of & man has, st least, something she can depend upon, and that won't fail her when she gets 40 and fat. Any able-bodied, intelligent woman can make as good a living for herself as a husband would be likely to give her. She can set up her own home. She can travel, g0 to places of amusement, entertain herself in a milllon ways. Yet she threatens to commit suicide because she isn't attractive to men, and no man ofters her a gold-plated wedding ring! THERE ate other women who are equally miserable becauss they have married and found marriage a failure. Sometimes the husbands are cross and grouchy, or surly and unreasonable. Sometimes they break thelr wives' hearts by their coldness and neglect. Sometimes they are unfaithful, 4 and the poor wives beat upon thelr breasts and weep barrels of tears, and fill the air with thelr lamentations over their sad fates. Nobody will deny that it is a blighting sorrow to & woman to have her romance torn to tattors, to have her trust betrayed and her Prince Charming turn into & domestic ogre, but even so she is foolish to let her disappoint- ment ruin her whole life. The world is still full of a number of things for her. Bhe has her children on whom to lavish her affection and to comfort her with their love, and she can never want for a vital human intefest as long as they live, Very often the man whb is & poor husband is a good provider. If he does not give his wife the companionship she craves, he does give her unlimited credit at the bank, and while a goqd house and pearls and a limousine may not wholly compensate for the finer things of life, they are not to be despised as a consolation prize. Other women complain and whine because they have to work, because they are poor and have to wrestle continually with the problem of making ends meet; because they have to live in dull places and their lives are a round of monotonous duties—of pounding the same old typewriter day after day, of standing behind the same counter and selling the same good: cooking the same meals and washing the same dishes, and wiping the lttle noses. s e TTHEY will not see that we get out of life just what we are determined to have, and that we find it flat, stale and unprofitable, or full of pep, just as we please. We can be bored to death by our dally jobs, or find them the most Interesting and exciting things in the world. There is just as much romance and adventure on Main street as there fs on Broadway. The YomAn who kesps the Sorasr Erosery is just as interesting a personality and probably knows more of real life than the arbiter of the Five Hundred e As long as there is work to do, ladders to climb, children to rear, men and women o talk to, books to read, sunsets to see, there is no excuse for any one having a dull moment. The world is so full of such & number of things to enjoy. And even when the great crushing sorrows of life come, and deat! us of our best beloved and lsaves us desolate, It {s & wrong and “o".hht;\r:: to shut ourselves up in our grief and say that there i& nothing left in life for us. The world has still such a number of things In it besides sorrow, and the brave attitude is determinedly to walk 1 skulking in the shadows.

(Drawing: Beowulf Costume.) On his perilous journey to the un- derwater home of Grendel's mother, Beowulf slew several slimy sea ter- rors. Finally did he come even to the residence of the hag herself. They battled. Sore afflicted was Beo- wulf, for the skin of this monster was protected by a charm and sword thrusts did not harm her. Growing weak and faint—feeling death was indeed upon him—Beo- wulf chanced to see a massive sword fastened above a doorway. This sword the champlon drew from its jeweled scabbard. 'Twas & fine and trusty weapon—a weapon used by glants before ever men were born. A vicious sword swing Beowulf then made. This charmed blade cut the hag’s heed from off her should- ders and Beowulf was the victor. Sore-put, he grasped the monster's head and taking the charmed sword— whose blade had melted from con- tact with the hag’s blood—Beowulf swam back toward his companfons. (Copyright, 1825.)

For profuse, idle, meaningless or nonsensical talk we use the word “palaver.” It is a dérisive and con- temptuous term, commonly accepted as slang. This is one instance wherse something that seems spurious is real! For “palaver” is a word with a legitimate origin. It comes to us through the Spanish and Portuguese, the original Latin being “parabola,” meaning a parable or “story.” There is one part of the globe where “palaver,” spelled with a cap- ftal “P.” has a grand and glorious meaning!
