THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Sunday, November 28. ‘Tomorrow there is rather a sinist rule of the stars, according to astrol- ogists, who find Mercury, the moon and Uranus all in malefic aspect. It is a day especially forbidding for all who would sign contracts, and it is wise to delay affixing signatures to important agreements until a more auspicious rule. There may be more or less dis- couragement for ministers, since the | #tars incline toward scepticism and criticism of religious matters. Under this rule the mind is likely to be unsettled and sensitive to im- pressions, especially those of a dis- couraging sort. One of the planetary influences may be a tendency to excite reminiscences and it is well for the aged to beware of being bores.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Answering Some Questions on “Why Men Act Like Human Beings”—The Wife Who Won’t Follow Her Husband’s Fortunes. EAR MISS DIX: Why do not men care to answer their wives' civil questions, or to converse with them? Why do men call it “preaching” when thelr wives try to talk over some- thing with them? Why does a man think it 1s all right for him to lose money at poker, but 1t is a terrible crime for a woman to buy an expensive dress? BABETTE. Answer: The reason that husbands are grumpy and reply with a surly grunt when their wives ask them a civil question is just because they are human and we all resent instinctively being put through a questionnaire. Why we should so hate being asked questions about things that we would tell of our own volition, if we were given time, I do not know. Probably we have a subconsclous feeling that it is a prying into our private affairs and an infringement on our personal libert: Anyway, T have never known any one whom it did not infuriate to be questioned, and I have often thought that the greatest menace to domestic life was the interrogation mark. * For in the average family no one can rise up, or sit down, or go out or stay at home, or get a letter, or answer the telephone, or buy a toothbrush without having to stand a cross-examination about it. It is mother’s: “Where did you go?" “Who did you see?’ “What did you say?” “What did they say?” “Who 18 writing {o you from Birds Center? “What did you pay for it?” How long are you going to stay?” that drive children from home to some place among strangers who will not feel at liberty to ask them all the questions they would like to ask them. Of course, a husband’s affairs are his wife’s affairs, and she has a right to know about them, but when a man comes home tired and worn out at night, he feels that being put through the third degree about everything that has happened during the day is more than he can stand, and so he takes refuge in surliness and silence in self-defense. Believe me, she is a wise woman who never asks her husband a direct question, but who leads up adroitly to the subject that she wishes to know about, and lets him tell her about it of his own accord. B As for men calling their wives’ conversatlon “preaching,” perhaps that is because so many women feel that they are divinely appointed censors of their husbands’ manners and morals} and most of their talk is devoted to correcting their faults. - Try telling your husband how good-looking and clever he is and how much you admire him and love him, and see if he calls that “preaching!” Perhaps men feel that it is more extravagant for a woman to buy an expensive dress than it is for them to lose money at poker because we all turn a more lenient eve upon our own weaknesses than we do upon those of others. DOROTHY DIX. . e s IDEAR MISS DIX: 1am a married man with a wife and two little girls. Owing to business conditions, I had to leave the small town in which I lived when we were married and move to a eity, where I am prosperous. But my wife absolutely refuses to leave her mother and come to me. When I go back to see my family my children scarcely know me, and I can see that they need a father's influence badly. I love my family arid am desperately lonely without them, but I am not willing to o back to the little town when T can do so much better where I am. My wife's only objection to coming to me is that she doesn't want to leave “her old home and her mother. What should I do? LONESOME JOHN. Answer: Your wife certainly has siall appreciation of a wife's duty if she is not willing to follow you and go where you can succeed. Can’t you make her realize that she owes it to you to help along your fortunes? Surely a woman is a poor wife who, instead of trying to boost her husband up the ladder, tries to pull him down! Not that sort of wives were our pioneer grandmothers, who went forth with their men into the wilderness and helped them build up this great country of ours. touched by the thought of your loneliness, then you will be justified in taking strenuous measures with her and cutting off her allowance. Refuse to support her in her mother's house, and until she fulfills her part of the marriage contract, which is making a comfortable home for you. When she has to get out and hustle to support herself and the children, she will decide that the easiest way to do it is to come to you and let you make the living. Evidently her mother is encouraging your wife in staying with her and away from you. And daughter will probably not be so welcome a guest when she has no money in her pocket. DOROTHY DIX.

Why Babies Vomit. The most frequent and natural cause of vomiting in infants is over- teeding. Most infants can hold two ounces more of food than they are months old. Thus, a 3-month-old child can take from five and onehalt ounces at a feeding. But eight ounces s the maxinium at one feeding, no matter what tne child's age. Children can learn to tolerate larger amounts, but this causes stomach ais- tension, and the weight of an overly large stomach may cause the stomach to fall lower in the abdominal wall and this has bad results generally. So when the baby constantly regurgl- tates after meals, and especially right after eating, one can suspect just too much food. Having the binder too tight or handling the baby after feeding often cause regurgitation, because the stomach is imperfectly closed and jog- | gling the child about is sufficient to | make some of its contents spill out. Too much sugar in the formula causes vomiting, and so does a milk |formula which' is largely cream. Formulas made of raw milk may cause vomiting, ‘which can be cured by_boiling the milk. Most of these symptoms are the re- {sult of the wrong formula for a par- ticular child, but vomiting may be caused by a real congenial mal- formation of the stomach, and such vomiting 1s of -the following nature The baby does not just spit up its | food, but ejects it with violence so [ that it may shoot for some distance. | The vomiting occurs, no matter what the type of food. Babies may starve to death while the mothers are experi- menting with food, unaware that the reason for their trouble is that the passage leading from the stomach into the intestines is so small that food cannot readily pass into them and in the upheavals of digestion, in- stead .of the food passing on, it is churned around in the stomach and eventually vamited. If the opening is too small it is sometimes helpful to feed the babies no liquid foods, but all foods in thick form, powdered milk and thick cereals. These will some- times force their way through the opening and are always more difficult to eject than the liquid food. In severe cases an operation will have to be_performed. It is easy enough for the stomach to learn the habit of vomiting, and nervous children often vomit their foods, not because it is indigestible, but because of some excitement or frritation. _ Such bables are also helped by the thick feedings until the stomach learns better control. One cannot treat all vomiting alike. It is necessary to discover what causes the vomiting and correct that. Per- haps some of the causes named above will point the way to a cure. g Apple With Custard Sauce.

There is something becoming and flattering about a blouse of light, lacy character that is often dc sirable when an entire frock of lght. lacy description would not be appro. priate. The suit skirt of velvet, vel veteen or cloth is of a more practical | sort and may be worn first with one blouse then with another. Thus much variety can be achieved all with one costume simply by having 4 number of separate blouses. Of course there is nothing new about this. Many women used to wear light separate blouses for practically all afternoon and luncheon engage ments, but that fashion was put into the discard some seasons ago and it | has only just been brought to the | light of day again. | The woman who must dress well {on a small allowance ought to re joice over this revival, for there are | many economies to he gained there | by.
