He con- tinued to keep it still all the time that Johnny Chuck sat there. Somehow he didn’t feel a bit saucy any more. All the impudence had been startled out of him, and oh, how he did hope that Johnny Chuck wouldn’t take it into his head to climb any higher. “Puzzlicks” Pussle-Limericks There once was a malden of —; Who sald to her lover, young — “If you kiss me, —3— You will have to use —4—, But, then, "you are stronger gt to see Johnny Kingdom in southeastern Asia.

What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE Taurus. romorrow’'s planetary aspects are decidedly adverse, and although better conditions are glimpsed from time to time, these are only periods of very brief duration and do not justify any excursions into the unknown or un- tried. It will be found advisable to de- vote all your energies to the conscien- tious carrying out of customary duties and the day can safely be considered an unpropitious one for the launching of any new enterprise, or for the effect- ing of any radical change. It will be necessary to exercise a good measure of self-control, as there will be sensed a marked tendency to impulsiveness and “going off at half-cock.” Children” born tomorrow, although destined to escape any serious ail- ments during_infancy, will be. sub- Jjected to a variety of minor sicknesses, tall of which can be alleviated by care- ful nutrition and healthy environment. The signs denote that they will attain physical normalcy long before they reach maturity. Their dispositions, while nct as cheerful as they might be, will be readily amenable to affec- tionate influence, and obedience to they love will be one of their most _engaging traits. They will dis- play Keen interest in their studies and will readily assimilate what they read, jor what is taught them, If tomorrow is your birthday, you are exceptionally taiented and bright —and are quite conscious of the fact. This self-appreciation, exaggerated as it is, tends to make you rather over- bearing and domineering. You lack an appreciation of money for money's sake and your aspirations are entirely for power, in the office, the home or social circle. You want to outshine every one else, not for any gain, but for the satisfaction of personal pride. You forget that “to know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it. The pains of power are real, its pleasures imagi- nary.” Your home life’ could be rendered much happler if you were disposed. to be more conciliatory. Your social re- lations would be more pleasant If you tere not always coveting the position of others.

She might have to make two | or three menus before she got the | one with the right number of calories. | And that is a very serious thing from | the standpoint of health.
