When a woman entertains it be with a cordiality to details should and an attention that combine to put guests &t easo and prove that their comfort has considered. These things_ do not requi they do take thought. & bus sewife does not nead to stop her work and make a business of planning what she will do, but she can train her thoughts into the channel of such planning while she fs occupled with usual round of home dutles. A hostes find her mind | entertal |difficult and tiresome. best of all. florist, he will see that the stems are in foil, that a ribbon is about them and that a glass-headed flower pin is with each bouquet. If the hostess ar- ranges the bouquets herself, she can give these same touches. It is well to save the foil that has come around former corsage bouquets, smooth it out and have it in readiness for just such times, If you are short of the foil, ordinary tinfoil such as comes | around yeast cakes, etc., can be utilized. e ribbon can be wound about this to conceal its too garish tone and the bow will add charm. Suitable tins cost but & vy or so apiece and can be kept on Plan Some Festivity. Unless it is known that the friends prefer a quiet visit with you and vour family, some entertalnment hould be planned. It may be elabo- or of the sfmplest sort. A few Persons may come in for cards, to dance or just to chat, or the guests may be taken to a play, concert, to a club or to the house of a friend who has asked the privilege of their company. However informal the style of entertainment at home, the hostess should serve refreshments during the evening. Since week end company is apt to leave on Sunday elther just before or after supper, it is wise to have whatever 1s done for thelr entertain- ment come on Saturday evening. Some forms of amusement would, of course, be suitable then only, apart from this idea, the time is most mething of the place In which you Ing the time when guests are with 5o that they do not feel its in- sistence or presst It Is far better to have the simplest sort of time than to let the company realize the ment has been bothersome.

Today’s planetary aspects are favor- able and indicate success in business | ventures and happiness in soclal or family affairs. Nothing, however, that savors of risk or speculation will turn out well. In business, today is a great opportunity for launching any enter- © or new thought, over which you carefully deliberated, and for which you have worked out a plan of action. If engagead in literary pursuits, you will find the vibrations create an urge, which will enable you to accom- plish much with facility that has hitherto borne the earmarks of being Any soclal en- tertainment will be successful, and, in the more Intimate affairs of life, the signs indicate that engagements will be AGE BOUQUETS ARE | ON SSSING TABLES OF HOUS 5, DO NOT OMIT THE FLOWER PINS. | @welling on the personal traits of the | gu nd her plans formulating about their and preferences.

A child born today will be normally healthy and will recover very speedily from any slight physical aflments to which it may be subject in infancy. As this child grows older, a sense of being immune to all sickness will make it careless of conditions, and at this stage of lifo parental influence and advice are essentlal, in order that the child may escape the dangers of irregu- habits and ill-considered feeding. Its disposition will be very cheerful, and it will always be the center of an admiring group of friends. Any disap- intment or temporary set-back will ly take the heart out of it, as it will lack courage and persistency. Its life will be happy provided fortune is always smiling. If, however, contrary conditions prevall, it will become gloomy |and -morose. If today is your birthday, you ars full of ambitions, hope and optimistic plans, but you are a trifle weak in exe- cuton. You have a very alert, quick mind, and can think very rapidly. In this sense you are a chameleonic opportunist. It would be better for our material prospects if you could, after evolving a good idea, stick at this one thing until it was completed, with- out going off at a fresh tangent on the Slightest provocation. You would also accomplish more If you did not leave, T trus much to others. Belng 0 honest yourself, you are disposed to think every one else is bullt on the same lines. You should resolve to love all, but trust a fow. In your affections you are extremely jealous—more often than not without cause—and this condition not only makes you miserable, but brings un- happiness to others. You do not set sufficient store on the pleasures and joys of loving companionship, but at- tach too much importance to trifles and to unimportant happenings.

WHICH WAS LATER DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Young Girl Whose Mother Demands All of Her Pay Envelope—What Conversational “Line” Makes Hit With Fair Sex? ]DEAR MISS DIX: 1 am a girl of 19, the oldest of & family of seven chlidren. My people are very poor, and I am working my way through a business school. I expect to finish in a few months. When I start to work I shall be expected to turn over my pay envelope to mother and accept what she gives me from it. I am not complaining about that, but at times it seems that I would rather dle than live with my mother. She sees my faults; I see hers. She is cross and irritable with me, and says such cruel things to me that for days afterward my heart aches with the memory of them. Yet my mother s a good woman, and I hate myself for feeling as I do toward her. What can I do? UNHAPPY TEEN. Answer: The cold-blooded remedy for your situation is for you to hold on to your pay envelope and pay your mother board instead of turning over all of the money to her. If you give her everything you earn you become her slave, whom she can treat as she pleases and say anything to she likes; but if you are a ing guest, who can leave if things are unpleasant, it will force her to be courteous to you. It is a sordid truth, but It Is o truth, nevertheless, that nobody treats the person with money as he or she treats the person without mone One of the chief things that money buys us is consideration and respect from our fellow creatures. And this Is true, even in the close relationship of parents and children, and husbands and wives. That is why it is never safe for parents to turn over thelr property to their children or children to hand over their pay envelopes to their parents. A tenderer way to solve your problem, Unhappy Nineteen, 1s by showing your mother a great deal of affection, and appreciation, and sympathy. You can blind her eyes with love, 50 that she will not see your faults. You can stop her nagging lips with Kisses, Keep in mind how hard life is to the poor woman who has brought seven children into the world, and who has toiled, and sacrificed, and been torn with anxietles in her efforts to keep them fed and clothed. You can't wonder that she is cross and irritable, or that she flies into tempers and says cruel and bitter things, for she is worn out in body and mind and her nerves are raw. Be good to her. Be patlent with her. Tell her that you love her, and appreciate her, and are grateful to her and you will find that your domestic troubles will vanish. All that most nagging mothers need is a little jollying and the assurance that they have not toiled In vain for their children. DOROTHY DIX. . e . EAR MISS DIX: Tam a young man about 19 years of age. good-looking, a good dancer and a good dresser. I am able to get girls, but I can’t keep them. They tell me I haven't got a “line.” What can a young man talk about to interest girls? SAMMY. I am rather Answer: Well, Sammy, a bigamist who had married 26 times onc me that it was the easiest thing in the world to fascinate women. a man had to do was just to talk to them about themselves. I guess that theory still holds good, and that you are in no danger of boring any young lady as long as you keep telling her what wonderful eyes she has, and what a cute dimple appears in her cheek when she smiles, and that the first time you saw her there was, somehow, something different about her from any other girl you had ever met In your life. e told | All that The strictly personal is always a good line. Awmother good line is to display an interest in the girl's {nterests. Most girls do things nowaday: and they like to talk about golf, or tennis, or their work, or clubs, or thei chums. Some few even like to talk about books. Just follow the girl's lead, | and If she sn't a dumb-bell you can soon have her merrily ehatting alone. No hard and fast rules can be given for developing a conversational line that will make a hit with the fafr sex, because tastes differ and the kind | of talk that one girl will lap up will be poison to another. Some girls like | to be jollied and flattered, others are embarrassed by compliments they do | not know how to reply to. Some girls expect every boy to make love to | them; other girls regard a soft speech as an offer of marriage. Some | glrls like boys who are always clowning; other girls are disgusted by the village cut-up stuff. So all the advice that T can give you is to study your girl the line she calls for. e It {sn't hard to {nterest girls. Just don't talk about vourself too : dom't bo patronizing; don't sncer at women. Don't bo too fresn. Dame oy to be funny, unless nature made you that way, and you will have no difeulty in developing & line for which the girl will fall. DOROTHY DIX.

Noted Physician and Author Fallen Arches Proper. a fllling of the hollow of the arch EIDOV THEIR PASTOR, THOMAS HOOKER. — [ THROUGH THE WILDERNESS — - THEY WERE THE FORE- RUNNERS OF THAY STREAM OF EMIGRATION T0 THE WEST Among the many defects or de- formities which the amateur mother disgovers in her first-born from time to time is flat foot. The little tot's tootsies really seem to have no arches; they're like the latest fad in figur all straight lines and no curves. But that is all right. The baby's arches are filled with pads of fat. There are several kinds of flatfoot. The causation, effects and treatment of the trouble, of course, vary with the character of the abnormality pres- ent and the successful management of a given case calls for the knowl- edge and skill of*the physiclan, since the foot is more or less a part of the human system. Indeed, the physi- clan’s care of the general health is often more important than any me- chanical manipulation of the foot, and in many cases, particularly in young persons, the general treatment is all that is necessary or advisable. It 1s a grave mistake, af #very- body knows, to begih the use of crutches when one's legs feel weak or lame. It is a greater mistake to resort to alleged arch props or foot- wear which purports to “support” the arches, unless this is done by direc- tion of & surgeon. In some talks I have described the commonest kind of flatfoot, known as static valgus, pronated feet, weak ankles, weak feet, early flatfoot. The use of arch props and similar sup- ports in such a condition is likely to do permanent harm, for such im- proper treatment actually favors. the development of permanent flatfeot. Besldes static valgus, other forma!land are protesting against the inv. Wwith & pad of fat, as already men- tioned. The natural flatfoot of vigor- ous, healthy negroes fs a raclal anatomical characteristic, dike the flat nose and thick lips of the col- ored racé. Some individuals of pure White blood nevertheless have rather flat noses or low arches, while others have abnormally thin lips and high arches. It would be as futile to at- tempt to change the shape or size of the nose with a brace or other ap- pliance as it is to try to.change the shape of a naturally low-arched foot. If the conditions in a given case seem to call for support, it becomes a problem for the physician to decide whether this should be applied by means of specially adapted shoes per- haps having raised inner borders, or by flexible strapping, or by flexible pad, or by rigid plates made upon casts. In many cases of established flatfoot or “falling arches,” it is nec- essary to restore the foot to its nor- mal posture, by manipulation under an anesthetic, before any corrective measures can be of avail. It would be foolish to subject the feet to the indignity of arch props or other me- chanical support if thers are fixed subluxations or partial dislocations of the bones of the foot; surgical treatment is indispensable to restore flexibility before the arch plates can be of any service.
