MY ANGELS | OCTOBER What Tomorrow Means to You BY M Y BLAKE. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are quite favorable, and promise to en- gender a spirit of energy and a desire to succeed. In the evening they be- come overcast and impropitious. Any new undertaking that has received its need of deliberative thought can he profitably launched tomorrow, as the astrological conditions foretell success. Iinancial enterprises will be especially benefited, although all work typical of constructive effort will prove to be productive of good results. It is also an auspicious oc- casion for travel, either by land or by sea. In the evening it will be ad- visible to seek congenial compan- ship, as the influences will cause ex- cessive introspection, which usually promotes self-dissatisfaction. Children born tomorrow will in in- fancy expericnce many and varied afl- ments. Much of the danger caused thereby can be averted by careful alimentation, but it will be necessary to have recourse on more than one on to skillful treatment. The signs denote that they will, once past this period, attain normal conditions and achieve a robust adulthood. In disposition they will be, in their early vears, querulous and impatient, but as their physical condition improves their natures will also improve. They will be ambitious, but not very ca ful of those who stand in their wa: They will always be candid and sin- cere and especially loyal to their kith and kin. If tomorrow is your birthday, you are very competent, as vou posse: both mechanical and executive abil- ity. ‘You are also energetic and never enter into any project half heartedly. You always put forth vour best ef- forts—be it in play or in work. You are not gifted with any great de- gree of intellectuality, but have a good measure of sound common sense. You are at all times practical, and never have been known to be “a dreamer of dreams’; everything you tackle is judged by positive, and never by probable, results. As your sincerity is always unquestioned, you enjoy the respect of all those who know you and many appeal to you in order to help $hem straighten out their own difficulties. You, on_the other hand, are self-rellant, and think out your own problems for and by vourself. If you are mated with one born in August or November, and especially {f you marry young, your home life should be ideally happy. Well known persons born on _that date are: Nathan Appleton, merchant; George H. Boker, author-poet and diplomat; George Westinghouse, manufacturer; A. J. Beveridge, Sen ator; Jenny Lind, opera singer. “THE ELITE OF N 1826 . John 1‘ Randolph of Vir- ginia and Henry Clay meet on the right bank of the Potomac Back to back they stand . . . 10 paces . . .

I'll ask him after dinner, when Mom isn't around.” If fathers and mothers could hear what the children say in confidence to their companions they would be surprised at the picture of themselves Children are keen minded, merciless in judgment, impersonal in their de- cisions, It very often happens that the fa- ther and the mother have policles widely different in disciplining and training the children. Father sees the ! children only a few hours in the eve- ning and is inclined to be lenient with them and they wait until he comes and vors which mother would not grant. Or father comes home tired and ir- ritable in the evening and the children shun him and save their confidences and their requests for their mother's ear alone. She shields them from father. Sometimes each parent be- lieves that the salvation of the chil- dren is due to him alone, and, each taking a_different line, the children are torn between them. Always the children take sides. They are elther mother's children or father’s children, when there is the divided tone in the family. Then there arises an unbearable condition. The child will disregard the word of one parent and wait for it from the other. Once that happens, there is littie chance of family harmony or strong, fine growth for the children. Such an atmosphere rears warped children and the marks of the unhappiness last through their lives. Children are a mutual obligation and both parents must recognize that, if the home is to do its duty by the children.
