BURGESS Peter, “is to hurry around until I find some freshly dug sand. pretty sure of finding Digger some- where about.” So Peter scampered from bramble- ed until the Black |tangle to bramble-tangle, all the time | watching for newly dug sand. He be- gan to get discouraged. The fact is he had gone too far up in the Old Pasture. By and by he stopped to rest in a bramble-tangle down near where the Old Pasture joined the Green Meadows. The moon was up and its soft, silvery light made the night al. most as light as day. A shadowy form appeared, moving |along between the bushes of the Old Pasture silently as if it were in truth a Black Shadow. Peter grinned. He knew who it was. It was Old Man ote starting out for his nightly hunt. Old Man Coyote stopped verv abruptly. Then he flattened himself out behind a little bush. Peter knew by his actions that he saw some one whom he hoped to catch. Peter looked very hard In the direction in which Old Man Coyote was looking. And then Peter’s heart gave an extra beat or two. There, moving along in the most independent way, was Digger the | Badger. It was plain that Digger had neither seen nor heard Old Man Coyote. It was also plain that if he kept on as he was going, he would pass just the other side of the bush behind which Old Man Coyote was hiding.

During the morning, tomorrow's planetary aspects are not very reas- suring, and indicate a condition of restlessness and nervousness that is not compatible with pleasantness of disposition or productive of *harmoni- ous surroundings. The inclination to nag must be combated, and the desire to vent your spleen on others must be overcome. In the afternoon the condi- tions assume a much more favorable character, and presage a changed imental outlook, which will insure a great_deal of pleasure and enjoyment out of those pastimes and recreations ordinarily associated with Sunday. In the home circle the atmosphere prom- ises, after a few trying hours in the morning, contentment, peace of mind and tranquillity of spirit. A girl born tomorrow will cause many misgivings as a result of deli- cate physical condition. The sig: however, denote that she will posses remarkable recuperative powers, i though lacking in_outward indication of strength, she will have a resistance that will insure her a happy issue out of all her ailments. A boy brought into the world will, on physical grounds, cause no worry, and attain maturity without being subjected to any serious illness. In temperament and disposition, after making due al- lowance for the difference of sex, both boy and girl will be very similar. They will be largely irresponsible and care- free, getting out of the present what- ever pleasure they can, and taking no heed "of tomorrow or what it may bring forth. They will both be demon- stratively affectionate. + 1f tomorrow is your birthday you make up in plodding and persevering habits for what you lack in brilliancy.

EAR MISS DIX: I am engaged to an unusually fine man, but he never shows me any of the little attentions that women love. He never sends me flowers or candy or any little token of affection; and this is not because he is stingy, but simply because he is careless. Shall 1 tell him how I feel about it or just ignore it? Second. What do you think of a man who weeps like a woman when his feelings are hurt? TWENTY-FOUR. Answer: 1 knew one woman who taught her husband to bring her flowers and remember her birthdays and anniversaries by making such terrific scenes that the poor chap forever afterward kept the proper dates written down on his desk calendar and wore a string around his finger, so to speak, to keep him from forgetting. Furthermore, this determined lady educated her husband into giving her handsome presents, worthy of herself and the occasion, by throwing the cheap remembrances on the floor and dancing a war dance upon them. So the thing can be done, and the careless husband can be trained into paying his wife the proper attentions; but personally I should not care for a present I had to remind a husband to give me, nor would I be flattered at a remembrance which was nothing but a hold-up. It is the spontaneity of the gift, the underlying thought of you, the remembrance of your little tastes and whims and interests, that make it valuable, and if these are lacking the wife had just as well go and buy herself what she wants and have it charged to her husband’s account and save both of them time and trouble and friction. Of course, whether a man remembers to do the nice little things and pay a woman the little attentions that she sets so much store by is merely a matter of temperament. It is no indication of lack of love when a man fails to do so. He simply says it with beefsteaks instead of flowers, and it is women'’s misfortune that beefsteaks alone never satisfy them. They always want a flower or so on the side. I think, in your particular case, Twenty-four, that you might make one effort to reform your sweetheart by explaining to him just how you, and all needs to have his attention called to the crudity of his wooing and wherein he falls short of being the perfect lover. If, however, he falls to take your tip, let the matter drop. Just make up your mind to take him as he is, and not to be hurt by his never rementbering. After all, it is not a cardinal sin, and when you buy your jown birthday present you can always get what you want, instead of having | to pretend to be grateful for a misfit gift that husband picked out himself as u surprise. It is no indication of unmanliness in a man to weep, he Is emotional. The bravest are the tenderest. JDEAR MISS DIX: From the time I was barely 16 I have been insanely in love with a man. pique I married another man. I spent one horrible month with my husband. Then I left him, my home and my family, and—I bow my head in shame—I went to live with the man I loved. It has been a long time now, and we have got to the place where we both want to be married, have a home among the friends we once knew and experience all the joys of having a family. We love each other as much as ever and get along better than most married couples do Now, the question {5, What must we do? We are poor and cannot afford a divorce, which, even if I tried to get it, would be contested by my husband Also, there is but one ground on which to get it in the State in which I was married. Must my mistake so early in life cause two, perhaps three, lives to go on the rocks? SORRY. It just shows that DOROTHY DIX. Answer: It is a terrible thing that for the mistake of a minute we must pay with vears of suffering. But so it is ordained, and not all our protests can change the immutable law. Your tragedy is that of the self-willed and uncontrolled, who take what they want of life, who flout the laws of God and man, and then feel that, in some way, they should be able to evade the consequences of their acts. That is an impossibility, for what has been done can never be undone. Because you regret the past does not change it. Not all your tears will wash your slate clean. You can never go back among the friends you once knew and be accepted by them as if nothing had happened, and you are foolish to try it. My advice to you, under the circumstances, s to go to one of the States in which the fact that a couple have not lived together for a certain number of years—seven is the number, I think—constitutes ground for divorce, and get your divoree, and legalize your relationship, and take a fresh start among strangers. It is not necessary to ask for a divorce in the State in which you were married, so the laws of that State cut no figure in it. Nor does it take any large amount of money to get a divorce. So there is hope for you, after all; and perhaps those who have known a great love find it worth whatever price they have to pay for it. DOROTHY DIX. e bl EAR MISS DIX: I have a 17-yearold daughter. I have never allowed her to go out with boys or have them come to the house. It is my opinion that she should not have any dates until after her graduation from high school, which will be next February. Will you kindly give me your advice in this matter? MRS. J. B. Answer: I think you are making a mistake, and that you are too strict. A girl of 17 is plenty old enough to have boy company, reasonably supervised by her mother. She is far less apt to go boy crazy if you permit her to play around naturally with’ them than she is if you try to shut her away from them And, anyway, you can't do it. If you don't let her have dates that you know about and have boys come to see her at her own home, she will meet them on the sly. Also, she will regard you as a grinding tyrant and you will lose her confidence. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1925.)

Wild Indigo. ““Can that be gorse?” asked a young English girl the other day, seeing the acres of wild indigo in bloom upon a bare, sterile hill just across the river in Virginia. It is little wonder she asked the question, for the wild indi- o, everywhere now in bloom, looks remarkably like the Old World gorse, and is of the same family, so that it is not surprising that she fancled her- self back on Hampstead Heath. Wild indigo is known at once by its low, broad, bushy habits, its three cloverlike leaflets, and its profusion of tiny, golden flowers that, examined minutely, are, as in all the pea family, curfously like Tittle butterfiies with folded wings. Nothing in fact is love- lier these days than to see our com- mon little vellow butterfly fluttering over the billowy flelds of wild indigo. Do not try to farm in soil where wild indigo grows. It prefers the dry, ster- le, light soils and avolds rich humus. But if you buy a spot for sheer | beauty, there is never a flower which 80 cheaply beautifies the ground. When you pick wild indigo and let it fade, the leaves will blacken in drying. This is due to the presence of indi- £0 in the system of the plant, and, in- deed, early settlers really used wild in- digo to dve those beautiful old hand- woven fabrics that antique collectors now prize so highly. It was not the true indigo of tropical regions, and did not produce so fine a dye, but still it gave a soft and lovely shade of blue. Today coal tar dyes have driven most out of the market. But whatever may be said for synthetic dyes, they do not, as they fade, turn such beau- titul colors as the old-fashioned dyes As a chemical dye fades, its hue actu- ally changes in many cases. A vege- table dve merely softens as it grows old, and retains, even for centuries, essentially the same color. MODE MINIATURES Summer week ending being one of the foremost American sports, fashion gives the subject due deliberation. In ‘a happy moment she designed the Pullman neglige—a luxurious ample robe that can be folded to fit a flat case measuring approximately 8 by 6 inches. You see these robes are made of such very soft silk that they re- duce with pieasing ease. They are generally tallored, smart trim affairs, perhaps piped with color and certain to be dark. For that| makes for practicability, and, after all, a dark robe is in best taste—it is the least conspicuous when traveling | down the aisle of a sleeper. —MARGETTE.

Probably the most general source of the family name of Bell is the word “bell.” Its first use as a surname was an indication of the fact that the bearer lived near a bell which was a landmark in the countryside. But Bell, or Beale, as it is often spelled, is not always of English origin. There was among the ancient clans of Ireland one which bore the name of “O’Bel,” which in its trans- lation into English has almost inva- riably become Bell or Beale. The clan name, however, is not de- rived in this instance from the given name, but rather from the descriptive surname borne by the chieftain who founded it in the days of St. Patrick. This chieftain was named ““Tuathal and surnamed “Cruinnbheul,” which means ‘“gathered mouth.” The clan name is derived from the latter por- tion of this surname, meaning “mouth.” “Tuathal” was the father of the chieftain “Seaghan,” who a few years later founded the clan of the O'Shanes or MacShanes.

In sunstroke or heatstroke the victim is quite uncon- cious. In circulatory collapse, shock or fainting—too often attributed “‘heat exhaustion” or being “overcome by the heat,” the victim is rather half conscious, though dazed; the face is pale, the skin is cold and clammy, the breathing is very shallow and quiet, and the plse is feeble and difficult to feel. If the temperature is taken with the thermometer it is usuaily somewhat lower than the normal, in collapse, shock or ordinary faint. It is important to distinguish true heatstroke or sunstroke from these conditions which are too commonly attributed to “heat exhaustion,” for the proper treatment of the latter con- ditions, namely, stimulation, would be exceedingly bad treatment for sun- stroke. Cold water bathing or appli- cation of ice is good treatment for sunstroke or heatstroke, but would be harmful in collapse, shock or faint ing, for in these weakened states heat should be applied. If one has the foregoing description BEAUTY CHAT The Home Shampoo. The woman who cannot afford the time or money to have her hair sham- | pooed must make herself an expert in what is really a fairly difficult accom plishment. Few women wash their hair properly because few will go to the very great trouble of getting the hair really clean and freeing it of soap. The first thing to learn about sham- pooing is that the hair must be soaped and rinsed three separate times before the real rinsing even begins. The first soaping merely loosens the dirt and grease that collect on the scalp, the second soaping takes most of it away, the third not only removes any stub- born bit of oiliness, but removes the | soap you have been using and'leaves the hair so soft and clean that the hot and cold rinsing is not a hard job. If you soap the hair only once or twice you can rinse the hair in most elabo- rate manner, pour buckets of hot water over it, and it will make no difference it will still be sticky, and a fine gray film will form over your brush and comb as soon as you use them. This _is the ideal easy home sham. poo: Beat up an egg, volk and white, and rub it over the head, rubbing it well into the scalp, and let it dry on for at least half an hour.
