Nose of Enterprise. Noses may be divided into three distinet types—the horizontal, the up- ward and downward types. The hori- ntal denotes lle " characteristics, The upward discloses infantoid and inquisitive tendencies. The down- ward indicates a melancholy, morbid nature, Do not overlook the noses of per- sons whom you meet for the first time. for they are highly significant of their characters, traits and dispo- sitions. Large-nosed individuals gen accomplish more in business, the professions, sports or even in love than the small.nosed type. The characters for energy, as in commercial lines, require the exercise of large, commanding and aggressive power: The nose of enterprise is long from the brows to the tip, well modeled, relatively broad at the base, rises com- paratively high from the plane of the f the nostrils are large and the tip has a tendency to turn downward. If there is also a rise on top of the nose, he has a keen mind for business, is cautious, and has excellent organiz ing ability. It is the nose of acquisi- tiveness as well as entreprise.

In this modern lamp the pewter lamp has heen combined with the tri- pod base of the old candlestand very admirably.

The shade here is of parchment, tinted buff-color, with bands of clear jade green top and bottom, and a soft- toned French print mounted on one side. (Copyright. 1926.)

DO N"T' be in a hurry to marry. Take your time. The girl érop is one that never fails. There will always be plenty of wives to be had for the asking. Don't marry until you are good and ready, and ready to settle down and be a fireside companion. As long as & man wants to roam and run with the boys, he should stay single. Don’t marry until you have the price. A family is an expensive luxury in these days of the high cost of living, and you want to be very sure that you can afford the upkeep before you set one up. Otherwise, you will regred it. - Don’t marry a girl for one thing and expect her to be the exact opposite as soon as you get her home. There is no magic in the marriage ceremony that changes the character of a woman and that turns the moron into a blue stocking, the spender into a saver or the petter into a prude. What a girl was before marriage she is going to be after marriage, only more so. Don‘t marry out of your own class. The happiest marriages are those in which the husband and wife have been brought up in the same school of thought and raised on the same kind of pie. Don’t forget that beauty fades, and that if you marry a woman just for her looks you are bound to lose out in the course of 10 or 15 years. Maybe sooner. Don’t forget that kittens grow up into cats and flappers cease to flap, and that the cute little ways that are 8o entrancing when you see a little of them will get on your nerves if you have to live with them. Also that while Dumb Dora may be adorable as a sweetheart, she will bore you to tears as a wife. Don’t forget that every «irl tips you off before marriage to just the sort of wife she is going to make. Any man with intelligence enough-to be let out without a keeper can tell a n us, neurotic shrew from an amiable, good-natured, easy-going girl. He can differentiate hetween a spender and a | saver and get a line on whether a young woman is domestic or a jazzer. e v . vail. In the evening more than usual self-restraint must be' exercised, as there will be sensed a disposition to become critical, fault-finding and nical. These tendencies can very easily be overcome by suitable relaxa- tion, such as reading, or assoclation with those near and dear to you. Children born tomorrow will have uneventful infancies, and the slight allments from which they suffer will vield very readily to ordinary and ac- cepted remedies. These children promise to develop along normally healthy lines and to achieve normal majorities. In disposition they will be ‘very credulous—too much so for their own good. They will show very little_inclination to Investigate things for themselves and, in order to avoid trouble, will accept “at par’ what others may tell them. This attitude on the part of a young child is quite admirable, but is apt to be disastrous if persisted in later on. They will be affectionate and loyal. If tomorrow is yvour birthday, you are assertive and aggressive. Your character is forceful, but your per- sonality is not compelling. If you would eliminate, to a certain extent, the first personal pronoun from your conversation and be more disposed to listen than to talk, vour friends would increase in number and your pros- pects of success would be enhanced. Those who know you—what vou are and what you have done—will do your “trumpeting” for you. There is no need for you “to toot your own horn" in season and out of season. You possess a keen sense of humor, except when the shaft of wit is di- rected against yourself. When this happens, you become peeved and show it. At heart you are magnanimous and kind, and those who can tolerate or smile at your self-laudation find vou dependable, sincere and loyal. Well known persons horn on that date are: Junfus Brutus Booth, actor: George Inness, artist; Daniel B. Wes. son, inventor and manufacturer; Rob- ert Clarke, pioneer publisher; Whar- ton Barker, financier; Marie Corelli, novelist. (Conyright. 1026.) What Do You Know About It? | Daily Science Six. 1.

If a girl has that she can acquire all the other domestic virtues. Don't forget that you picked out your wife yourself. She represents your taste and judgraent in women, and it is up to you to make the best of your selection. Don’t marry at all unless you have made up your mind to make just as great an effort to make your marriagd a success as you do to make your business a success. Don't take a girl out of a good home, where she has kind and loving parents. and brothers and sisters and friends, and where she leads an Interesting and amusing Iife, and then ‘drop her down in a bungalow or a kitchenette apartment and leave her alone. Don't forget that a woman marries to get a companion, not a stuffed dummy that sits up with a newspaper in its hand all evening and out of which she gets only grunts. | Don't forget that a woeman's work inside of the home is dull and| monotenous, and that she has a right to expect some cheerful conversation | from her husband of an evening. If men carrfed as poor a line before marriage as they do afterward, there would be mighty few wedding bells. Don't cut out all of the lovemaking as soon as you are married..| Matrimony does not cause a woman to shed her sweet tooth, even if she does cut her wisdom teeth on it. | Don't take it for granted that your wife knows that vou still love her and that vou think she is the greatest little manager and the best looker in the | world, even if you never pay her a compliment or tell her that you love her. Few women are mind readers or possess the gift of clairvoyance. There is nothing more pathetic than that there are thousands of women breaking their hearts longing for their husbands to say to them the words they are too stupid and stingy to say. .« e e DON'T fail to show your wife appreciation. Compliment her upon her thrift when she saves your money and her skill in managing your home. Don’t gobble down the dinner she has spent hours in preparing for you without a word of thanks for hen labor. Don't forget that you are your wife's audience to which she is always playing, and that she likes to get the glad hand from vou and to be told that her work is good, just as much as you like to have a few kind words from your boss or a cheer or two from the men with whom you are associated in your business or profession. Don’t think that being married to you is picnic enough for any woman. It isn’t. Every wife is entitled to her evening off at least once a week. and every husband should make at least a hundredth part of the effort to make life pleasant for her after marriage that he did before marriage. | Don't marry unless you are willing to give vour wife as liberal an | allowance az you can possibly afford for her own personal use. She earns the money by her labor in your house. Don't make her have to corkscrew it out | of you nickel by nickel. If vou are a tightwad, be a bachelor. Don't make home a dumping ground for all the nerves and temper and | irritability that you dare not show the outside world. | “Feeding and Weaning SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

There is but one source of water, ultimately, and that is in the ocean. If a-lot of the earth’s water supply was tled up in vast ice flelds it meant that the water had to come out of the ocean. The glacier was at least a mile high, or thick, and cov- ered 3 large portion of the earth. Con- sequently the withdrawal of all that water meant that the level of the ocean must have fallen, perhaps as much as a hundred feet, all around the world.
