What Tomorrow Means to Youl BY MARY BLAKE. Virgo. Tomorrow's planetary aspects veal a situation that is not very couraging. The signs denote quietude, discontent. and a sense of disappointment. In the evening a marked change occurs, and the favor. able conditions that then prevail will. if advantage be taken of them, tend | to relieve the day of its tension and | absence of harmony and accord. No | | re en dis. customary Sunday observances or recreations should be omitted, as a r sult of the atmosphere. From their very harmless nature, much good may result. and they may well serve as an antidote. Be patient. be thoughtful he considerate! These virtures will alleviate all worries and cares. You can. if vou will, and in spite of unto- ward infiuences, make the day a happy one. Tr A child born tomorrow is fated fo | bring much happiness into the home in which it makes its welcome appear- | ance. Not only will its physical con- dition inspire both pride and satistac tion. but. as it develops along normal Jines, its many moral virtues will | make a stronz appeal to one and all. Tt will at all times he absolutely frank and truthful. It will, without sacrificing at any time its very con scientions ideas of what is honorable and right. always be considerate of others, and unselfish in its thought and actions. It will. while not neglect ing recreation. take life very seriously, and realize its responsibilities at a very early age. If tomorrow is vour hirthday, vou a great deal of initiative, and enjoy 2 reputation for originality. You are apt to do most unusual thinzs, and, even if you do that which you are expected to'do, you do it, not own. You have mever heen satisfied with the association of those who lack cul ture, and have often zone to such ex tremes as to invite the criticism of aloofness and snobbishness. Many a | good diamond has a rough setting, and the world Is composed of all sorts and conditions of men.

But Dolores knew it. And she wouldn't let her gentleman friends forget the fact. For instance, a lifelong boy chum of Dolores’ introduced her to a really charming and educated youns man named Charles Hopkins. Of course, after the usual formali- ties had been indulged in. Charles wanted a date with the magnificent Dolores. And furthermore. Dolores wasn't adverse to the idea—in fact. she had her mind on the very same idea her self. Thus it was arranged. Dolores was ever =o keen to make a good impression. =o she kept up an everlasting chatter during the en. tire performance of the musical com- edy that Charles had been kind enough to take her to see. Buf the fact remains that all said did not amount to a zero plus, as far as common sense was concerned. Most of it ran thusly. skipping from one male acquaintance to another: ‘Charles, as vou are an old friend of Bill's, vou must know Harry Jones. ‘You don’t? Why. that's pecu 1 thought all the boys in vour se knew him. “You know. he is a divine dancer father’s worth all kinds of monev. T'm crazy about him. You know he is a Phi Chi. 1 like fraternity fellows. They seem so joliv and carefree.” Dolores rambles on and anon. hap- pily oblivious to the thoughts that crowd through Charles’ mind. In the first place, he doesn’t care to have her consume all the conversa- tion, talking about other fellows, fra- ternities, etc. Especially when he has worked his own way through school and has never joined a fraternity. And thus his evening is ruined. After that Dolores wonders why he doesn’t call again. “He was such a nice feliow.” So remember, girls—show at least some interest in vour escort if you want him to visit you again, and don’t consume all of his good time by talking of some one that-is out of the picture as far as your escort is concerned.

French dressmakers are doing as much as they wisely can to revive high collars. They are intro ducing not only high collars hut neck trimmings, frills and ribbons, that add to the complexity of a frock without |actually forming a high collar. Some {times there is an inch-wide rikhon 1o | tie about the neck. with bow at one side of the neck. and some of the rib bon is used to tie around each wrist.
