What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. Leo. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are somewhat adverse during the early hours, but become benign and favora ble before noon, and continue so for the rest of the day. Onmly routine duties should receive your attention during the unfavorable period, and you should have the mental emer- gency brake within easy reach all the time, so as to stop, immediately and the trend to unpleasant- ness and quarrelsomeness. In the afternoon, although the signs do not counsel any departure from estab- lished customs or habits, they do in- dicate a clearness of perception, and a keenness of mind, that will enable you to carry through to a successful DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Three Bits of Advice to the Girl Who Is Marrying to Get Out of Work—Shall “Miss Sixteen” Elope With “Mister Twenty”? JAR DOROTHY DIX I am a girl of 20, and am engaged to a very nice oung man. 1 cannot say that I love him, for I do not belleve that there is any such thing as love. I want to get married, but I do not think I can be satisfled with just one man all my life. I am more than tired of working, and if I get married I will not have to work Have you any advice for a girl like me? BROWN EYES. Answer: Yes, Brown Eves I have a Century Dictionary full of sgvice for you. The first bit of it is, do not marry without love, for, whethef you believe in it or not, there is such a thing as love. Some day it will come to you, and then, if you have married without love, you will be a very miserable woman indeed. " For the chances are that the man who will awaken your heart will not be your husband, but some other man who will be forbidden to you and whom you will desire as you will never want anything else on earth. My second bit of advice to you is not to marry with one eye on the divorce court. Don't marry any man who does not satisfy you, body, heart and soul, and with whom you do not expect to be satisfied to live all the balance of your life It isn't fair to the man, for one thing. No man wants a wife who is always looking for an affinity or some one who pleases her better than he | does. Divorces are messy things that leave damaged reputations and wounded souls behind them. Besides, the chances are that you will have children, and it is a cruel thing to half-orphan children and drag them about from one “pro-tem” parent to another. My third bit of advice is not to get married under the delusion that you are getting out of work by doing so. Unless you are to become a millionaire’s bride, you will find that matrimony is the hardest job, with the longest working hours and the fewest holidays, that you ever tackled. The poor | man’s wife is the first up in the morning and the last to bed at night of | any workingwoman in the world. She doesn’t punch the office time clock at 9 o'clock in the morning. She gets up with the alarm clock at b or 6, and before you go to your desk or counter she has already done a full day’s work cooking breakfast, feeding the baby, washing and dressing the school children, finding their hats and hearing their lessons, and getting husband and children off to work and to school Then she draws a long breath and starts in on the cleaning, and sweeping, and sewing, and baby tending, and cooking, and washing, and mending, and darning that make up her regular schedule before she gets ready to prepare dinner. Marriage is a great life, but it is no career for those who think it a soft snap, and only love, and plenty of it, enabies a woman to bear it. e e COLOR THE WATER-SPRITE.

There are so attractive flower jars from whicl choose that we wonder at the of taste displayed so often in purchase of this type of container They may be purchased at prices to suit any pocketbook and, to be really | successful, it is important that they combine the three essential elemen beauty, utllity and an individuality of their own. In order to meet these three acid tests it s necessary that the shopper bear in mind the uses to which they are to be put. If for cut flowers, they should not be too ornately decorate themselves, as the jar should be only | a setting for the flowers, and should | not call attention too ostentatiously to_its own charms. In selecting such a jar look for a combination of beauty of coloring and simplicity of decoration, as well a attractiveness and utflity of form Many flower jars are so slender the bottom that they tip over easil when filled with flowers.

Summer time brings out a new crop of workers. The graduates from echool and college try their strength in a new field. They get a job and feel their way about in it and dis- cover that there is much, very much, that was not taught in school, not spoken of in the books. And that is a very good thing Some of the voungsters go along happily from job to job and adjust themselves easily, but there is a group that never adjusts, never finds the pleasant place, never finds joy in labor. These boys and girls are al- ways too good for the job. That is the most damaging idea that a youngster can have. It is the most erroneous_ notion he n gather. There is fo truth in it. No work in this world, no decent work, is be- neath the worker. The worker makes the job. He either raises or sinks it to the level of his spirit. The youngster who turns up his nose and declares the job beneath him is tell- ing the world that he is not fit for the job. And that's the truth; dodge It as you may, it will rise up and smite vou. aret Ann had a fine father and mother. They sent her to school and to coliege and now there is trouble in the family. You see, Mar- garet Ann’s father runs a laundry and he is not very well. He wants his daughter to take hold and manage that laundry, and she won't do it. “Why, I'm a college graduate. Imagine me running a laundry. Imagine me caring about people's dirty clothes. Of course, I'm going to do something Something useful. Something to help humanity. But not running a laundry.” And right then I knew that Mar- garet Ann had never been educated. I had no criticism to make about her not running the laundry. Perhaps she had not the taler But T had and have serious obje: lon to the at titude that said, “The laundry is too low class for me, a coile None of the useful w in the world s low class. It is that attitude of mind that makes it so. The laun- dry worker who wrings the buttons off our clothes, tears the corners off the sheets and towels in the mangles, acalds and bleaches our daintily col- ored garments, has just that attitude, and his work bears his crest. Wouldn't it be fine to be able to run a laundry that sent home baskets and boxes of clean clothes, beauti- fully freshened, mended, blessed by the labor of willing hands? Now wouldn't that be just fine for the tired and workgrimed people? Wouldn't they sing the praises of such a laun man or woman? I don't care what the job may be.

Take two pounds of halibut, two cupfuls of tomatoes, one cupful of water, one slice of onion, three cloves, one-half a tablespoonful of sugs three tablespoonfuls of butter, three tablespoonfuls of flour, three-fourths teaspoonful of salt and a little pep- per. Cook the tomatoes, water, onion, cloves, and sugar for 20 minutes. Melt the butter, add the flour, and stir into the hot mixture. Add salt and pepper, soak for ten minutes, then strain. Clean the fish, put in a baking pan, pour around half the sauce, and bake for 35 minutes, basting frequently Remove to a hot platter, pour around Believe me, Worried, when I tell you that there is not a day in the year that I do not get a dozen letters from women who are 21, 22 and 23 years old, saying that they married when they were 16 or 17, that t have two or three children and that they have come to hate the boy-husbands they married and have found, now, the men who appeal to their grown-up taste and with whom they have fallen in love. These women are desperate. They don't know what to do. And there is nothing in honor that they can do but endure their misery, because there are the bables to be considered. That is what will happen to you if you marry at 16. You will get tired of the boy you married. You will come to hate him. You will be bored with marriage and resent being tied down at home with babies. You will want to play around and dance and have a good time, such as the unmarried girls of your age are having. And you can't do it. Give yourself a chance. Wait until you are grown up and are ready for marriage. Be sure, if your boy sweetheart and you really love each other, you will be faithful to each other, and if you change it is far better to do so before marriage than afterward. Don't elope. There is always something discreditable in an elopement. Wait until you can be honestly and publicly married in the sight of all men. And consider your parents a little. It is playing a scurvy trick on the father and mother who have loved you and been so good to you to sneak away from them and do a thing that they are so opposed to your doing. SR DOROTHY DIX. [DEAR DOROTHY DIX: When a girl is 18 vears old, doesn't that mean that she is free? Please tell me what the age 18 means. Don't you think that a mother should dress her daughter stylishly and nicely when she can afford it? A girl isn’t young but once. Is there any harm in going to a-nice home dance, where you are with nice young people? FANGS. Answer: In most States 18 is set as the time at which a girl becomes legally of age and mistress of her own actions, just as a boy does at 217 but a good girl is never free of her mother and is always amenable to her mother's advice Certainly I think a mother should dress her daughter just as well as she can possibly afford. Fine feathers make fine birds, and pretty clothes are the frame that set off a girl's beauty and take the curse off her ugliness if she is homely. T'don’t advocate extravagance or buying more expensive clothes than you can comfortably pay for, but if a mother has a limited amount of money to spend on her daughters she had better put it on their backs than in the bank. For good clothes give a girl her chance. The well dressed girl can go to places that she would never be invited to if she were shabby. The knowledge that she looks up to the minute gives a girl poise and self-confidencé, whereas the feeling that she is shabby makes her awkward and ill at ease. And much as men rave over women's extravagance and love of dress, they all fall for the girl who loc like a daily hint from Paris, while the dowdy-looking girl stays at home with mother. B Of course, there is no harm in a girl going to a nice home dance. Every girl has a right to all the innocent pleasure she can get. DQROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1925.)
