BROKEN BY RUGS THAT EXTEND THE WIDTH. finest oriental rugs come in com- paratively small sizes only. They have been selected one at a time, probably, whenever the opportunity presented to get a rare one or some- thing that appealed. In the second instance change of environment ne- cessitated the arrangement, though the rugs may be handsome of their kind. But for whatever reason, it is essential to have such small rugs properly placed if rooms are to look attractive. Grouping. To prevent a scatter-rug appear- ance to a floor on which many rugs are placed instead of fewer and larger ones, It is necessary to put them In groups, sp that the eve takes them in as such at first glance and not as distinct and separate pleces. Hach group of rugs should form angles, if possible, and ically centered in re- spect to the furniture. One compara- tively large rug, for instance, may have two or even three smaller ones | placed quite close to it to make either of the geometric figures named. Space should be allowed about the group, as would be the case If it were a separate rug, before another rug or group comes, thus identifying the group as a genuine feature in the floor treatment. These rug groups should be so planned that they accent the desired size and shape of the room just as they would if they were one plece instead of two or more. Positions of Rugs. If rugs extend lengthwise of a room the width is minimized. The reverse of this Is true when the rugs placed crosswise. So to accent er dimension is easy. Rugs ould not be placed askew on a What Tomorrow Means to You = BY MARY BLAKE. Pisces. Sometimes the planet aspects furnish clear indications to the course, under given conditions, that business will take. Not infrequently they reveal only information that af- fects indlvidual weilbeing. Tomor- row’'s signs peftain to the latter class, and consequently the snly advice of a practical nature that can be given is to attend only to routine dutles. In temperamental matters, however, you can, If you have been “slowing up,” redouble your efforts to win that which is dearest to your heart, and if there be a strong urge to forget trifling differences it would be ad- visable to allow the “urge” to do its complete work, as the results desired thereby will be secured. Usually life consists of “ups and downs,” and this will be amply dem- onstrated in a physical sense by any child born tomorrow. It will suffer In the early stages of its career from some severe and " threatening ail- ments, but it will—thanks to its la- tent resources—quickly yield to reme- dial measures. Temperamentally, it will be very variable, and little reli- ance should be placed on the con- stancy of its moods. A subject at all times of extreme emotions, 1t will both attract and repulse, although an otherwise very pleasing person- ality will make for it more friends and admirers than enemies. Its tastes will be along artistic lines, and these must not be frowned on but encouraged. For those whose blirthday is to- morrow the interpretation of the signs does not indicate much of a hopeful or an encouraging character. They apparently are domestic, home loving and comfort-seeking, and yet they find themselves surrounded by inharmonious conditiaps under which they chafe, but which, for some rea- son or other, they are unable to change. Thelr failure to alter ex- Isting circumstances is largely at- tributable to a lack of forcefulness and the innate disinclination to do anything that may cause them annoy- ance or inconvenience others. They know what tfiey want, but if to se- cure this they must sacrifice ease or comfort they prefer to submit to a state of affalrs which they know and feel is incompatible with their de- sires. This spirit of being apparently satisfled with dissatisfaction and of trylng to be contented with discon tent cannot inure to either progres or success. (Copyright, 1925.)

For a few moments Johnny Chuck., spylng from behind the old stone wall, watched the strange Chuck un- der an apple tree. It was plain that the stranger was showing off. It was plain that he was doing it for the benefit of Polly Chuck, who sat on the doorstep of her new home. The strange Chuck took a few steps to- ward Polly Chuck. Johnny Chuck could stand it no longer. He scram- bled over the stone wall and whistled shrilly. Instantly the strange Chuck turned to face him and he whistled back de- flantly. The stranger wasn’t afraid, Any one could have seen that. In fact, he was quite angry at Johnny Chuck. To his way of thinking, Johnny Chuck had no business .. He didn’t propose to have any one in- terfering with his affairs. The hair OVER AND OV FEATURES. BY THORNTON My Neighbor Says: W. BURGE ¥ Ol notton.

The little dwarfs came home from digging gold in the mountains and found Snow-White almost dead. IThey quickly unlaced the bodice, however, and brought her to. Then they warned her never again to let a stranger in the house. The jealous queen’s mirror told her that Snow-White was still alive, so again she. went into the forest, this time disgulsed as an old widow in a plain black gown.
