Oldfashioned ladies often boasted that first of all they chose materials that were of the best that could be got. They would rather have one frock of really first-class material than four of cheap material. Perhaps that was why so many of the “real ladies” of those days looked a trifie dowdy. The ideal combination, of course, is a frock that combines chic and dis- tinction with the finest sort of work- manship. More and more women of discrimination who can pay the price are insisting on this happy combina- tion. If you have always wort in- expensive—but up- to- the - minute— ready-made frocks and have never known the thrill of feeling the finest of fabrics against your skin or had the consciousness of knowing that the work on your frock is of the finest and most painstaking, then you prob- ably feel nothing when you are de- prived of such things. Once you have known the joy of wearing clothes of perfect workmanship then it will be difficult for you to lower your stand- ards. there is always an air, a “something’ about the dress of fine workmanship that gives a favorable impression to those who see it.

Sagittarius. Tomorrow's planetary -aspects are quite in keeping with the superstition that centers around Fridays. They are distincily adverse, and the few brief and intermittent spells of bright- ness do not detract from the general unpropitiousness of the day for any- thing of constructive effort, fresh thought, change or travel. Routine duties only should have your atten- tion, and even these will give rise, in all probability, to a feeling of dissat- isfaction and discouragement. This, however, is insignificant compared with the influences that will, if you allow them to do so, affect your dis- position, and it behooves you, for the sake of those around you, not to go 100 near to the “slough of despond.’ A child born tomorrow will experi- ence rather startling physical “ups and downs” during infancy. It will fall sick with as remarkable rapldity as it will recover its usual normal health. At times its condition will provoke despair and alarm, to be re- placed, only a short time afterward, by confidence and well founded hope. In temperament, it will be hot-headed, impulsive, and quick-tempered. By forceful discipline, it must be taught the benefits of restraint and self-con- trol. It will show a strong aptitude for study and work, and as a result of its determination, will usually attain that which it sets out to obtain. If tomorrow is your birthday, you are resolute and possess a powerful will, and are always confident that vour way the right wi and must ucceed. You, of course, meet with op- position, but are disposed to brush it aside, and, in doing so, give scant at- téntion to the feelings of others, and, in a certain degree, are rather ruth- less, and, at all times, overbearins. You have supreme confidence in your- self, and little, or mone, in others. You are aggressive, and if you do not secure what vou think is coming to you, it is simply because it is impos- sible of attainment. You have remarkable control over your emotions, and, although you may feel very strongly, it is impossible for lookers-on to diagnose your feelings. It is more than probable that you are looked upon as a success, but you vourself know the ingredient of happi- ness is missing. and no materjal fo tune, no matter how large it may be, is worth while unless it brings that contentment which unselfishness alone can create. To Braise Meat. Dust the meat very sparingly with flour, put about one ounce of drip- ping or butter in the saucepan, put in the meat and brown it on both sides. Add some vegetables cut in small pieces, a bay leaf, a sprig of parsley, thyme and marjoram, half a pint of stock or water, & good sprin- Kling of salt and pepper. Cover closely and cook gently until the meat is quite tender, allowlng 25 minutes to the pound and 25 minutes ove: Serve on @ hot dish with the vege. tables around.

Pop and ma was getting reddy to go to a bridge party and 1 was sipposed to be doing my homework in the set- ting room ony 1 was trying to werk my fuzzle insted, the ideer being to get 2 lot of little balls in a lot of little holes without leeving eny o them roll out wile you are getting the rest in, being so hard its impossible, and pop looked in saying, Are you munkeying with that silly thing agen, now you hand it over to me and finish your homewerk, havent you eny will power at al? And he took the puzzle and started to look at it and then he started to try to do it, saying, Yee gods, this is a joke, not a puzzle, nobody can werk this thing. Ony he kepp on trying jest the same, and ma called from her room, Willyum, are you all dressed? Not quite, pop sed. And he kepp on trying the puzzle, saying, I neerly had it that time, I bleeve the thing can be done with a steddy hand. And he kepp on trying and after a wile ma looked in saying, Willyum Potts I think your simply terrible, trifiing with that crazy thing and not caring weather you make me wait or not, you have about as mutch will power as a sleeping child. And she quick took the puzzle away from him and pushed him out of the room to put on his collar and tie and then ghe started to try it herself, say- ing. For land sakes it would take Sher- lock Homes or somebody like that to do thix. And she was still trying it wen pop came back all dressed may- ing. Yee gods you havent even got vour hat on after me husseling like mad, Speeking of will power, wares yours? he sed Til have it on in a_minnit, ma sed, Meening her hat. Wich she dident, taking her about 10 minnits, ony pop dident care on account of trying to werk my puzzle agen, and wen ma came back she had to take it away from him agen, and they went out and T tried it agen a wile and then I did my homewerk.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM The Poison Obsession. A retired general informs me that my estimate of 20.000,000 morons in the United States was erroneous. He says a careful survey or invesdgation by Prof. Meyer showed that 43,000,000 adults in this country have the men- tal development of 12-year-old chil- dren. But the géneral adds that this figure of Prof. Meyer's was subjected to a rigid scrutiny by a committee investigators, and their report that the professor's assertion is inac curate—the average mental develop- ment of the 45.000.000 weak-minded individuals was found to be that of the normal child of 12 years and 4 months. I am always glad to acknowledge any error or inaccuracywhich appears in this column. How many of the 45000000 child minded citizens harbor the fancy that there is such a thing as a “blood puri- fler” is a matter for conjecture. It is better not to attempt to conject about it. There are still doctors extant who harbor equally childish notions ahout poisons in the “svstem” or in the blood, or about the “elimination” of polsons through the skin. To put it frankly, we didn't take physiology any too serfously when we were in medical school, and in practice we find little incentive for studying such an elementary subject on our own—the public cares little for a doctor's phys. iological knowledge; the question does he claim he can cure what public thinks ails it? One of the most popular poison of sessions refers to alcoholism and to- baccoism. It seems that certain quack treatments for inebriety which former- Iy thrived on popular credulity and dishonest propaganda purported to re- move some vague poison from the system or the blood of the drunkard, and once that poison was eradicated he no longer craved alcohol. The same thing applies to the treatment of tobaccoism; for instance, I read in a booklet circulated by a health e pert: “Eliminative baths, preferably the Turkish bath, will assist in rapid- Iy getting rid of the stored-up nico is, the in the first place, we do not know whether nicotine or something else in tobacco accounts for the effects of excessi place we have no gro that any definite ™ in the system or the blood of the person with the tobaccoism.
