But never once did anything of her real feelings creep into her manner toward Edgar. She mocked him when he was seri out—groaned loudly when he tried to be funny—looked pained when he became sentimental. When they were in a crowd she paid twice as much attention to the other boys as she did to her own man. Her girl friends knew and under- stood her attitude Yerfectly. She was, and always had been, a person shy and reserved about the things she felt most. She shrank from expressing her feelings too openly. Afrald of seeming overanxious for his affection, she re- puised it. Then she spent her two-week va. cation away from Friend Edgar. He spent his time yearning for her. and begging for sympathy. On the night she was to return from her trip a group of us were gathered in her living room waiting to_welcome her. Edgar was on pins and needles— nervous and excited and radiant. He was carefully dressed, his hair shone, his shoes glistened. From time to time he asked us: “Do you think she'll come soon now? How do I look, eh?” And suddenly she came—, calm, cool, detached, serene as ever. She smiled at us all, and beld up her cheek for Ed to kiss. He looked rather taken aback. “Aren’t you glad to see me, K" he asked rather wistfully, unmindful of our presence. “Of course, vou silly,” and ' she patted him on the shoulder. She was embarrassed, you sce. Embarrassed at the rush of feeling which hagd come over her when she saw him again and as usual, striving to conceal her feelings, she froze to ice. And Edgar broke the engagement because he was sure K. didn't really love him. And K.'s heart is broken because she is sure he fust wanted a way out, and chose the fiimsiest excuse possible. | All of which goes to prove that a hint of your true state of mind won't hurt the boy friend now and theen.

What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Aquarius. Tomorrow's planetary aspects reveal & continuation of those propitious in- fluences_which_characterize this ev ning. They denote equanimity of mind, evenness of temper and a gen- eral air.of good feeling and comrade- ship. What better conditions could be desired for a Sunday? Its usual ob- servances and recreative amusements will_yleld increased enjoyment, and the home circle should benefit by an atmosphere—benign in character and powerful in influence. A boy born tomorrow will experi- ence the usual ups and downs of an infant's career, but will quickly dissi- pate all doubts as to physical fitness, and develop good health and normal strength. A girl born tomorrow will have few ailments—and these only minor ones—and the signs denote that she will achieve womanhood without any serious setbacks. In character, both boy and girl will be obedient, amenable to reason, but not to force, willing and conslderate of others. They will not be intellectually bril- liant, but will make up for this by their plodding capacity. They prom- ise to be falrly successful, but not ex- ceptionally ®o. If tomorrow is your birthday, your love of independence is very marked. This is not always an unmixed bless- ing, as it can easily degenerate into a very bad form of selfishness. It is, of course, desirable to be self-reliant, but no one can ever beeome absolutely independent, as we, one and all, have to depend upon others in the ordinary affairs of life. Ons of your weaknesses, well known to you, but not patent to all your friends or edmirers, is the claiming of all the glory when an enterprise in which you are interested, succeeds and the ‘“passing of the buck” when failure ensues. You are, none too modestly, ready to accept flattery, but are a great side-stepper when criticism is justified. You are very positive in your opin- jons, and cannot understand why every one should not think as you do. You, of course, do not call them fools, but allow yourself the privilege of thinking that they are. ‘You are much more partial to mem- bers of your own sex than you are to those of the opposite sex. You should, if you marry at all, marry rather late in life. ~ ‘Well known persons born on that date are: James Appleton, ‘‘the father of prohibition”; Christopher L.

Probably in his own estimation, he was proud of himself because he had saved her from Broadway. The thought was maddening. Rosalind, who had always been so proud, now experfenced a sensation of scorching shame. She had feit shame when Nicky had hurled his in- sulting remarks at her, but she had not cared for Nicky, and, therefore, |she hadn't suffered as she was suffer- ing now. This was the crowning de- feat. It proved beyond doubt to her that life held nothing in store for her. Perhaps she deserved it, but somehow she couldn't quite bring herself to believe that she did. She had been wrong in her ideas about life, she had been foélish, but she had never heen bad.
