But it opened weeks ago, and Chet doesn't even seem to remember that he gave the invitation. ‘Last night when he was over I mentioned casually that Gertrude had gone to ‘Step-Out” and had a wonder- ful time. “He didn't say anything at all, but 1 thought the gentle remigder wouldn’t hurt him_any.” Thus, Ethel a few weeks ago to one or two of her friends.

Tomorrow’s planetary aspects are threatening and adverse, although conditions improve after sunset, the presence of stimulating vibrations will be sensed. The un- favorable influences on actual en- deavor can be counteracted by strict attention only to those duties that are customary or obligatory. The unfavorable influences on the dispo- sition will be more difficult to con- quer as, in order to overcome the spirit of pessimism and self-dissatis- faction that will be engendered, it will be necessary to exercise restraint and to maintain poise. In the eve- ning self-assurance will be re-estab- lished and the conditions then pre- vailing augur well for all social re- unions or family gatherings. A boy born tomorrow will be more than usually subject to the vicissi- tudes of infancy. but, given whole some environment and good nutri- tion, there is nothing to indicate that he will fail to achieve physical nor- maley. A girl, while being healthy and strong as a youngster, will, ac cording to the signs, suffer from one or more serious ailments just prior to the attalnment of womanhood. There will be every need of the utmost care, but no occasion for alarm. In disposition children born tomorrow promise.to be always hun- gering after information, and will be very progressive in their studies. They will derive great pleasure from their own soclety and will not b good mixers, although capable of strong and powerful emotions. If tomorrow is your birthday you are careless, unpunctual and rath- er unintentionally inconsiderate of others. To a certain extent you are a dreamer, as you spend more time in visualizing schemes of the future than in tackling with enthusiasm the problem near at hand. You are prone to think more of what you would like te do than in demonstrating what you can do. You pay very little attention to details and overlook the fact that care in small affairs often inspires confidence in others that this reveals the ability to handle big affairs. If anything is worth doing at all it is worth doing well. Your unpunctuality is tantamount to lack of courtesy, although not so intended by you. This is a defect that can be easily remedied. In your home life you are some- what overbearing, and this does not make for harmony or contentment. If you could cultiyate th§ habit of thinking more of others’ comfort and convenience and less of vour own much happiness would result. i remind boys and men that they've got | | i | objections. {ors have the effect of making a hat | look larger than it it.

When we speak of people enjoying the luxuries of life, we mean that they have fine homes, gorgeous clothes, strings | of pearls, high-powered motor cars and that they fare sumptuously every day. | We ‘always think of luxuries in terms of money and feel that it isj something that on'~ the rich can possess, yet in reality the greatest luxuries in the world have no price tag on them and are equally within reach of the poor and the wealthy. There is love, for example, and all the tender human relationships, which are luxuries far oftener enjoyed by the poor than the rich. Money seems, somehow, to clutter up the heart action, and there are very few millionalres | who ever know the bliss of either loving or being loved ! Mr. Croesus is filled with suspicions of th. mouves of any woman who marries him. The poor little rich girl regards every man who comes near her as a fortune-hunter, and so neither one ever knows the ineffable luxury of resting in perfect faith and trust in the devotion of wife or husband and knowing that he or she s loved for himself or herself alone. The real luxury of parenthood belongs also to the poor. Big men of affairs, whose every hour has a thousand importunate calls upon it, whose every thought is abSorbed in working out the plans for great enterprises; women who are leaders in society never even get acquainted with their children. As soon as they are born they-are turned over to trained nurses and to | governesses and tutors, and then sent off to school. And between the | youngsters and their fathers and mothers there is only a traditional bond of | sentiment. There is no real feeling, none of the deathless devotion that | springs from personal service and sacrifice on the one side and dependence on the other; from the memory of clinging little arms about one's neck and sticky little fingers holding one's hand in the dark; from the recollection of | the softness of a mother's breast and a mother’s kiss that could heal a hurt| and make it well, and a father to whom one turned instinctively for help and | guidance, | Ko e T is only the poor that know the luxury of having a real home. Those who have a dozen palaces, built by famous architects and furnished by artistic decorators, in which they spend a few weeks during the year, are as homeless as any nomad who wanders over the desert. Nobody else can make a home for you. You have to put yourself in it. You have to make it with your own hands, with your own work. You have to mix your own sweat with its| brick and mortar. You must have sacrificed yourself on its altar before it becomes a real home. And so the man and woman who have bought their house and are paying for it by the month, who have planted the vine about the door and gone without a new coat to buy a chair; the man who cuts the grass instead of playing golf and the woman who sweeps the floor and cooks the dinner— these get more thrill out of putting the key in the door of that little bungalow than any billionaire does out of having the portals of his mansion thrown open to him by a flunkey in, plush breeches and silk stockings and brass buttons. Friendship is another luxury on which the poor have a practical monopoly. The rich soon grow cynical and hard because their trust is betrayed So often. So many of the hands that are held out to them in the guise of friendship have itching palms; so much professed love is only greed: so much affection has to be paid for in cash, that they are afraid really to let themselves go and give their hearts to any one. It is only the poor, from whom no one has anything to gain except the real joy of companionship, who can know the luxury—and it is the greatest and most satisfying one on earth —of having a real friend and real comradeship. Love, children, home, friends, these are all luxuries equally within the reach of the poor man and the rich man. And there are certain other luxuries which most of us would enjoy more than we would matched pearls or villas in Newport or imitation Spanish houses in Palm Beach or private cars or yachts. And these we might just as well revel in as not, if we could only induce our families to look upon them as luxuries in which they should indulge us. . OR example, just think what a luxury it would be to be abie to get up and do the thing you want to do, when you want to do it, without having to answer endless questions about it and having to combat a thousand “ . What a luxury it would be to be able to eat what one liked without | being told how bad it was for one's stomach or how many calories it con- tained! To be able to sit up half the night and read an absorbing novel without some one knocking on one's door and warning one how bad it was for one's eyes to read in bed! To have one's hair bobbed or not, as one chose, and to buy the clothes that fire one’s fancy without having one's taste criticized or being asked the price! To get one's letters without having them | Sherlock Holmesed by the family! To be able to take a walk at night because one happened to feel like doing so without being put through the inquisition as to one's motives! In short, what a luxury it would be to have one's family grant one a little independence. But these are among the unattainable luxuries that most of us will never enjoy. DOROTHY DIX.

FOOD AND HEALTH BY WINIFRED STUART GIB Food Speclallst. “Oh, ves, I know how to plan meals 50 as to make them balance,” o YOung bride or even an experienced house- wife may say. “I know that maca- roni and cheese make a good meat substitute and that you must not serve two starchy vegetables like po- tatoes and rice at the same meal.” This sounds well and makes a good beginning, but ask the speaker for| further information and, in the words of the small boy, see what you get! Nine times out of ten, and this is a conservative statement, there will be no further information forthcoming. The individual speaker is in no sense to blame, it is merely that the two illustrations cited constitute a large share of the dietary “notions” having widespread distribution. One speaks, of course, of those who have not made it their business to study diet systematically. Moreover, it Is on the shoulders of these very individuals, those who | have made a systematic study of the | subject, tlat the responsibility for helping their lay sisters rests. How shall they best accomplish it? Fortunately the number of those who are keen about studying food and diet is ncreasing all the time. Many of them are not professionals, but the fact that they are reading on the subject places them in a strategic position. They are able to give very worth- while help in broadcasting the proper information. Take the average housewife. Let us say that she is keen to get any leads toward information that will | help her accomplish this desirable | end. One’s advice to such a person | is to keep always in mind the fact | that practically every diet question is many sided. The classic remark about macaroni and cheese being & zood meat substi- 1 {llustrate the point as well v other. The housekeeper who xes this one isolated idea in her mind and fafls to follow it through to missing much, The macaroni and cheese, it is true, | do afford a dish that in many points | conforms to the office performed by | meat in_the body. Meat is one of the | outstanding body builders, and the | body building elements in cheese are | in some measure a substitute for| meat; that is, there is one type of pro- | | tein present in cheese and another in | | the wheat of which macaroni is com- | | posed. Since, however, food chemists | re constantly uncovering more and more information as to the varying | virtues of these body building ele- | ments, the home dietitian will do well to remember that, while macaroni and ! cheese is an excellent dish to serve as the chief attraction of either lunch- this fact he has by no means exhaust- | ed the subject. Cheese, for example, is an excellent | source of food lime, an element in | which the average American diet has | been shown to be sadly deficient. The | in the macaroni is an easily | digested form of energy and under cer- | tain conditions an especfally desirable food to use when there is intestinal trouble, The point is that housewife as well as any to any widely circulated | al planning, but that she is even wiser if she determines ear | not to be satisfied with storing such facts away, without analyzing them. he will check those facts for ac- curacy. then, and there is the crux of the matter, she will then make it her business to find out whether she has mastered all the facts. Finished work is so much more sat- isfactory than that which is incom- plete or ragged, and this principle ap- plies as well in dietetics as in any other line of endeavor. (Copyright. 1926.) Bistory of Pour Name BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. GILEETT. VARIATION—Gillette. RACIAL ORIGIN—French, Anglo- Norman. SOURCE—A given name, a locality. There are really several possible sources of the family name Gillett, or Gillette, though for practical pur- poses only two of them need be con- sidered. The others are more or less {doubtral. You might not guess it, but this name, when it comes from one of ‘lhese sources, has the same meaning as Willlamson. “Guillot” was one of the French diminutives of Willlam. Virtually this was the same as the more Anglo-Saxon form of “Willet.” The dropping out of the “u” was log- ical at a time when the “g" would have been pronounced hard anyhow, | and later, when the tendency grew to ounce a “g" before an “i” like a " the pronounciation of the family name naturally tended toward the modern Gillett. The other source of the family name, and doubtless the correct one in a great many instances, was the name of a town in Piedmont, France, Gillette. But it is so easy to add or lop off the final “e” that you must not take its presence or absence as indicating which of the two sources the family name came from in the individual in- stance, pron (Copyright. 1926.)
