What Today Means to You BY MARY BLAKE Aquarius. “Until noon the planetary aspects of today are adverse and do not favor any effort of magnitude along constructive lines. They do, how- | ever, denote that the early part of the day is distinctly favorable for deliberation and careful meditation, as well as attention to duties of & routine characte Later on, there is a marked improvement and any plans, except those of a speculative or hazardous character, can be safely initiated with every prospect of ulti- mate success. In the evening, the vibrations are very benign and in- dicate contentment and harmony in the home, and success for any func- tions of & social character. A child born today will cause a great deal of worry during the in- fantile period by rcason of its con- tinued attacks of illness. These ever, can all be successfully com- bated if proper attention be given | to nutrition and healthy environment { created. Once past this critical pe- riod, it will develop and attain physi- | cal normaley. Its character will be rather morbid, and its disposition— possible, with those of its own age, S0 that in the rough and tumble of outdoor sports and recreations it will cease to be =o introspective.

This Is the most potent reason for inspiring confidence in_others. Your integrity is unquestioned, and your ability is conceded by all. If you have not sccured that material success that you anticipated, the reason is that you are probably a round peg in a square hole, and it behooves you to |cross-examine yourself conscientiously, in order to determine the path in life that you are most fitted to tread.

RACIAL ORIGIN—English. SOURCE—A personal characteristic. names all come from the same descriptive surname, or, as we would call it today, nickname. There is a possibility that in ex- ptional « > names Ball, Bald and Balde but developments from the word “bold.” But though there are plenty of records of the use of this latter word as a surname in medieval times, there is little to con- nect it with the three family names under discussion, whereas there Is a great deal of evidence to connect the word “bald” with them. The use of nicknames is not wide- spread today (though they come naturally to the tongue upon occa- sion) slmply because we all have fam- ily names now. But in the days when | family names had not come into use, ! the nickname was not considered un- dignified. A famous King of France bore the nickname “the Bald,” and the surname of Peel is clearly trace- able to a similar source. | In the family name of Ball the “a" was dropped when the descriptive sig- [nificance of the name had been for- gotten, In an unlettered age when much confusion and freedom existed. in spelling.

YOUNG man writes me that he is much attracted to a girl who is beautiful, and amiable, and sensible, and domestic, but who is literally |a dumb-belle. The young woman is not dull or stupid. On the contrary, she is intelligent and well educated, but she does not possess the gift of gab. In company she sits up serenely silent and lets people talk & | with her, ‘and when he and she are alone together he is forced to do a | monologue until his whole conversational repertoire is exhausted her instead of And he wishes to know what sort of wife this clamlike lady will make.

NDOUBTEDLY so if a man marries a woman who is conversationally slow, he is much more likely to be the head of the house and have his own way about things than he is if he marries a la fluent talker.

Wife is monopolizing that, and she doesn’t pay the slightest attention when hubby tries to tell how great and wonderful he is.

Try as you will, you can't chum up with silence. You can't get close to it. You can’t warm up to it. No matter how much we may respect and admire silent people, we never r than oysters on lce . . ally love them.

Every topic falls dead as soon as it nes under their blighting influence. There is no give-and-take in small talk with them, no spirited tossing back and forth of a bright conversational b and after a Lit we grow tired of trying to entertain them and give it up as a bad job. Now. the principal indoor amusement upon which husbands and wives must chiefly depend is conversation, and a happy home is one in which a which | man and woman never weary of each other’s soclety, and in which they can talk by the yard to each other and yet not talk out. But this requires the co-operation of both parties. No man or woman is spellbinder enougl to do it alone Therefore, if youths and maidens were wise in selecting their life mates they would pick out those who carried an entertaining line of conversation and who would be sure to be interesting companions with whom to spend the next 40 or 50 y ars. Stevenson set being a good gossip at the head of the list of the desirable qualities a wife should possess. And undoubtedly there are no more charming and cheerful households than those presided over by chatty ladies who gather up little budgets of pleasant news which they retail with animation over the dinner table. There {8 much to be said for and against women's talk, son, but personally I would rather have a chatterer than a dumb one. Even canary | birds are cheerful things to have around the house.

Though Broadway and the ‘“Great White Way” have long been synony- mous, the former is a great deal older than the latter. Broadway existed long before its characteriza- tion as the “Great White Way.” Tndeed, it is barely half a century since it became in fact a great white way. The first electric {llumination of New York streets was installed 43 years ago, when the first trial was given to the new system of lighting. With the comparatively erude appa- ratus then in use the effect was far from dazzling and on all sides the opinion was expressed that the elec- tric light could never take the .place of gas as an effective and efficient method of lighting street The “Great White Way," however, in its dim beginning must have glimpsed visions of its future glory. For it held on to electric light—and was repaid with the modern specta- cle of nightly splendor which would have dazzled out of his wits the Broadway rounder of 50 years ago. Stew of Calf's Liver. Cut one pound of liver in one-inch cubes and saute quickly on a hot, slightly greased pan until browned on ;‘ outside. Cook together in a saucepan one pint of strained toma- toes with three onions chopped fine, one chopped green pepper, and two tablespoonfuls of flour mixed with one-half a teaspoonful of salt, one- fourth teaspoonful of paprika, one-half & teaspoonful of dry mustard, and one- fourth teaspoonful of ground cloves, the whole rubbed smooth into three tablespoonfuls of softened butter. Stir over the fire until thick, then add the cubes of browned liver and allow the whole to simmer for ten minutes.
