As yet she hadn’t seen Danny and Nanny; she had only smelled them, But Danny and Nanny knew that if she kept on she soon would see them. They kept their eyes fixed on those greenish eyes of Black Pussy's. Pres. ently they saw a change in them and they saw Black Pussy crouch to spring. They knew then that they were discovered. As Black Pussy sprang Danny dart- ed one way and Nanny darted another way. It was this that saved them. You see, Black Pussy hesitated. She didn't know which to go after first. By the time she had decided Danny and Nanny were outside. Danny had run straight out the hole by which they had entered. Nanny had dis- covered a little small hole just big enough for her to squeeze through and she had gone out that. Danny had come out at the end of the porch. Nanny had come out at the side of the porch. 8o it was that nelther could see the other and neither knew what had become of the other. There was no time to look for each other. Of course, Black Pussy hadn't been able to follow Nanny because that hole was so tiny; so she had gone after Danny. Danny naturally had no time to think of anything but his own safety. He headed right straight for Farmer Brown's henyard. Now the legs of Danny Meadow Mouse are short, but they can move very fast for a short distance. They moved now. Never had they moved faster. But fast as they moved 1 fear they would not have taken Danny to safety had it not been that Bowser the Hound just happened to get in Black Pussy's way. This stopped Ner for a moment or two and Danny reached the henyard. Of course, he ad no trouble at all in slipping through the wire netting. But Black Pussy couldn’t do that. Of course not. Danny darted across the hen- d and popped right in at the little door left open for the hens to go in and out. Once more Danny Meadow Mousa: had been lucky. But he and Nanny were separated. (Copyright 1926.) Clues to Character BY J. 0. ABERNETHY. A Contrary Disposition. Watch the jaw for a contrary, stub- born disposition. The stubborness is ull due to the shape of the jaw. It is not that he really wants to be ob- stinate, but because he just cannot help it. It is the way he is bullt. You will also find that those whose wills are contrary lack ease of mus- cular action. They are not active or quick in their movements, but go slowly in all things with a determined disposition that makes them almost unconquerable once they have made up their minds to do a thing. They balk at being coaxed, driven or led. They do this because of a great love of independence and free- dom of action, engendered by an ex- treme_development of the will facul- ties of the brain which manifest them- lselves in the jaw. Observe that part of the lower jaw where it joins the upper. If it is angular, sticks out abnormally in pro- portion to the rest of the face, you can rest assured that here is a person with a contrary disposition. A Kind Animal. When Beauty and her father at last arrived at the home of the Beast they were startled by a deafening roar, and the Beast appeared before them. “Do_you offer your life in place of your father's of your own accord?” he asked Beauty “Yes,” she said, trembling. So the Beast kept Beauty, und instead of tak- ing her life he made her queen over everything in his house. She wanted for nothing, and every wish she voiced was granted Immediately. She never saw the Beast except at the evening meal, and then he was very kind to her. But every night he woul “WIill you marry me, Beauty every night she would answer, “No, Beast.” This beautiful dress which Heauty wore in the Beast's house is rose col- ored with a golden lace collar. The Jewels in her headdress are sapphires and her necklace is of blue stones, too. (Copyright, 1928.) What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Aquarius. Tomorrow’s planetary aspects are variable. In the early morning they are favorable and inspuane. vuoc prior to noon they become distinctly adverse and depressing. In the late afternoon they revert to the favorable stage, while after sunset they again change and assume a gloomy charac- ter. It is not a very suitable occasion for initiation of any new enterprise or for the seeking of fresh felds und pastures new. Prudence suggests do- ing as little a possible out of the or- dinary, as the good vibrations are only of a transitory naturs and do not in- dicate constancy of purpose or con- stancy of effort. Children born tomorrow wiil have, from a physical standpeint, many ups and downs during the delicate period of infancy. With pioper nutrition, however, and plenty of fresh air, there i8 nothing to indicate cause for ularm. n temperament and character the boy will be erratic, whereas the girl will be systematic. The boy will be care. less and untidy, whereay the girl will be meticulous and neat. The Loy will be meif-willed, self-assertive and boid, whereas the girl will always be amen- able, very retiring and tinidd. In thelr respective spheres, the signs point that they will both succeed, the boy a8 a vigorous man with a command- ing personality and the girl as u loyal wife and devoted mother. If tomorrow is your birthday, you are, mentally, llke a ship without a rudder. Your ambitior Is very great, but you can never seemn to decide definitely, or for any length of time, in what direction your real ninbition lies. It is necessary, in order for you to secure success, to determine what you want to do and what you wish to achieve, and then grit your teeth and go to it, with a settled and fixed resolution. “A rolling stone gathers no moss,” and the constant flirtation with different professions, businesses or callings never insures any degree of permanent or lasting Buccess. 1¢ your general life were founded on the same principles as your love, vou would be gratified heyond meas- ure.

One Mother Bays: ““What kind of a house shall my pa- per dolls live In?” asked Betty. Aunt Ruth took -an old composition book that would do for a scrap book and opened it to show Betty how it made the walls of a room. They decorated each room with chairs, tables, win. dows and other accessories cut from magazines, finding many beautiful onea in gay colors. Each room of the house was represented; living room, dining room, kitchen and so forth, each with its appropriate furniture. Betty had lots of fun arranging and playing with her house and she also learned something abput color schemes and interior decoration. (Covyright, 1926.) —_— Portland, Ore., has the honor of having the first pouce'n_nfi the Morbid Husband Who is Jealous of Wife in Society —Poor Little Miss Seventeen Who is Getting Married—How to Soothe Nervous Mother. EAR MISS DIX: Iam 35 vears old and my wife is 23. Wa love each other dearly, but we have many quarrels. Almost invariably our misunder- standings come after we have been out to some social function. When we stay at home we get along splendidly. ‘When we go to parties it seems that my wife is too anxious to be popular, especially if there is any sheik around to entertain her or dance with her, an of course, there Is always such a man around who will monopolize a goa looking married woman if she will let him. Under the circumstances I do not feel right toward my wife, and as a result of this feeling I have become irritable. Although I give her everything she asks for, 1 regret that I cannot do so without a grudge. I love Her better than my own life, but I cannot fall at her feet and worship the ground that she walks on when she does these things that break down my morale and efficiency. Needless to say, no other woman in the world can interest me, and any and all considerations that I show other women are strictly the demands of society or my professional duty. What do you think of the situation? ANXIOUS. Answer: 1 think that you have allowed yourself to grow perfectly morbid with jealousy and that you are cultivating a spirit that bids fair to poison your entire life, alienate your wife from you and wreck your home. From yvour own show your wife has done nothing except conform to the usages of good soclel In the circles in which you evidently move, a woman is expected, when she goes out to dinners, to make herself as agreeuble and entertaining to her dinner partners as she can. She is expected, also, to know how to dance well enough to make men cut in on her dances, and seek her out as a partner. Also, she is expected to dress 50 as to enhance whatever beauty she has to the highest degree. If she did not do these things, you would be ashamed of her. You would not want your wife to be 8o dowdy and unattractive that she would cut & poor figure among the other women, and ho man would look at her, except to pity you for having married her, and wonder why you her out. You would be mortified to death If she were a dumb-bell, and so hard to talk to that every man hated his hostess for having wished her on him as a seat mate at dinner, And you would be far from pleased if she were \\'r||!| flower at balls, and no man danced with her except from o herofe sense of duty Yet when your wife takes the trouble to make herself pleasant and agreeable in society, and reflects credit on your taste and judgment, instead of belng proud of her as you should be, you permit yourself to be eaten up with jealousy. And the poor woman hasn't done a thing to deserve your suspicion You yourself are to be blamed if you judge her by the standards of Rabbit Track, instead of the world in which you live. In the provinces, where a woman is never expected to go anywhere after she is married, or to speak to any man except her husband, and where at the church sociables the men sit on one side of the room and talk to each other about crops, and the women sit on the other side of the room and discuss babies and chicken cholera with each other, a woman who danced with a man other than her husband, or engaged in a pleasant conversation with him, might be open to suspicion. But, good heavens, the thing is ridiculous in soclety in a city! If your wife were out joy riding until 3 a.m. with some shelk, or keeping secret dates with him. you might have reason to worry, but certainly you have no cause to be jealous of your wife as long as she is devoted to you, and willing to stay at home with you and only acts as a human being and not a dummy when she steps out with you. The trouble with you, Mr. Man, is that you are reading your own interpretation into everything your wife does. You are seeing harm where none exists. You are making mountains out of molehills, and when we let our fmaginations run riot there is no limit to which they eannot go. You can scent unfaithfulness in every act, and love-making in a casual conversation. You can torment yourself into insanity over nothing at all. And that seems to be about what you are doing, Mr. Man. And bear this in mind. There s no other way in the world that you can Kill your wife's love for you so quickly as you can by fealousy. A woman #00n comes to hate the inan who insults her with his susplcions, and who makes her afraid to be decently polite to any man she meets, You can't keep a woman shut up in a harem in these days. The only way you can bind one to you is kindness, and putting the faith in ber that puts her on her honor. . DOROTHY DIX EAR MISS DIX: Tam 17 years of age, and very much in love with a man whom my father disapproves. My mother has consented to our marriage in March, and say= that she will sign the marriage license for me, as I am not of marriageable age. After mother has signed, can father have the marriage annulled? PATTY. Answer: I don't know. I hope so, because somebody should be able to save you from your own folly and keep you from making a marriage that is almost certain to spell disaster for you. For, belleve me, Patty, when I tell you that there is not one girl in a thousand, not one girl in ten thousand, who marries at 17, who does not repent it in bitterness and tears. At 17 a girl I8 too young to know her own mind, her tastes change from day to day, and the man who comes up to her ideal then she wouldn't have on & bet when she is 22. At 17 a girl hasn't had her playtime. She isn't ready to settle down and assume all the burdens and responsibilities that matrimony inevitably brings. Of all the pathetic sights in the world, there is none more pitiful than a poor little sickly chlld-mother, wrestling with a sickly little baby. If you marry this man now when you ate 17, Patty, by the time you are 21 you will be a wornout old woman, tired of matrimony, tired of your children, tired of the man you are married to. You will be crazy for the pleasures of youth that you have missed, and the chances are that vou will meet some man with whom you will fall in love and then vou will be a broken-hearted woman the balance of your days. ‘When the law forbids girls of 17 to marry it is trying to keep them from committing the form of suicide that you are contemplating. And it is a shame that silly and romantic mothers like yours have it in their power to nullify this wise provision. e DOROTHY DIX. JDEAR MISS DIX: Ten years ago, on account of financial reverses, my mother started dressmaking to give us the necessities of life. But sewing 18 having a bad effect on her, as she has gotten so nervous and irritable that we can hardly stand it. 8he gives way to her feelings about everything, and fusses over nothing. ‘What could we do to make her pleasanter to live with? DAUGHTER. Answer: Go to work and help her make the living. She is overworked. Take her burdens on your strong young shoulders. Pet her, and make her see how grateful you are to her, and she will calm down. You can't wonder that it gets on mother's nerves being the perpetual family goat. (Copyricht, 1920.)
