He did more than look at them—he smelled of them. An ex- pression of great satisfaction crossed Billy’s face “Aha!” said he, “Jumper the Hare passed along here not very long ago. And Jumper wasn't in much of a hurry. He didn't have much on his mind. Certainly he wasn't worry- ing about anything.

He was following the footprints of Jumper the Hare. He was so intent on what he was doing and thinking of what a | #0od dinner Jumper the Hare would make that he didn't notice a slim, trim form hounding along over the snow just ahead of him. He didn't notice that little slim, trim white form until a familiar odor tickled his nose. It was familiar because it was very like the scent he himself leaves wherever he runs It was the scent of the Wea- sel family, to which Billy belongs. Then he looked up and saw just ahead of him a black spot. That is, all he But that was all he need- ed to see. That black spot was mov- ing He knew it instantly for just what it was—the tip of the tail of his litsle cousin, Bhadow the Weasel. Billy snarled. Instantly there was an an- swering snarl, and Bhadow the Weasel sat up on his hind legs, just as Happy Jack Bquirrel sits up, MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

Good and evil planetary influences contend today, according %o astrology, which finds adverse aspects rather strong. The day is read as unlucky for In- surance, pensions and other methods u(l protection. Warning is given that many un-l safe projects may be launched in the name of thrift, which should be prac- ticed wisely in the coming months. It is well not to start any fmportant project under this rule, which makes for delays and thwarting conditions. Legislators and legislation are sub- ject to a sway that precipitates bitter controversies and prevents construc- tive action, This should be a lucky sway for aviators who will find a growing de- mand for commercial transportation. Again the seers foretell success for thinkers and this means that orators and writers will have enlarged oppor- tunities. Women may now prepare to as- sume the feminine graces and charm abandoned recently, for the stars in- dicate a decided reaction in modes and manners. Again there will be a return to; certain chivalrous ideals in the re-j lation of men and women, the seers | foretell. Persons whose birth date it is have the augury of a prosperous year in which great adventures will be ex- perienced. Children born on that day probably will gain eminence and fame. ‘The subjects of this sign are likely to meet famous persons and to have colorful careers, (Covyright, 1928.) NANCY PAGE Mother Dressed Well— Avoided Overfitted Look. | BY FLORENCE LA GANKE, “Yes, I'm going to leave the early part of next month. And I must do some shopping right away. Can you meet me tomorrow?” Could Nancy meet_her mother when clothes were to be selected? Indeed she could. Nancy always found time to keep up on clothes styles. Bright and early the next day she and her mother were In the shop. “That's a good dress you have on mother, right now. It doesn’t have the ‘overfitted Jook that so many women's clothes have, especially when they are over 50 and somewhat portly.

OF‘ COURSE, nobody has kept his or her New Year resolutions except those who are 50 “unco guld” that they haven't needed to make them at all. The rest of us have been unbearably virtuous and kind and patient and sweet and forbearing these last couple of weeks. Now we are due to fall off the pedestals upon which we have climbed, with a dull, reverberating thud, and resume the practice of our particular pet sins. ‘Therefore, it would be well to revive the quaint practice of making other New Year resolutions, and I suggest the following five: FOR HUSBANDS. T hereby resolve: To be a little ray of sunshine in the home and not to inflict on my defense- less family all of the nerves, temper and grouchiness that I dare not exhibit to the outside world. To remember that the laborer is worthy of her hire and to give my wife her fair share of the money she helps to earn without humiliating her by forcing her to have to panhandle me for every cent she gets. To treat my wife with as much courtesy and consideration and speak to her as politely as I do to my private secretary or my cook. To give my wile a Kkiss every day that is warm with feeling, instead of be- stowing upon her & hit-or-miss peck on the back of her ear, and to tell her that cvery day she gets prettier in my eyes and dearer to me, and that my guardian To take my wife to places of amusement and do evervthing that I possibly | can to show her a good time and make her happy, and not act as if I thought | FOR WIVES, | ’l A out for myself, and that I will do my best to make a good job of it, and to | furnish my husband 1mun a home that is a place of quiet and rest in which he may | go forth refreshed. ‘That I will not whine and complain over the duties I have to perform.

FOR GRANDMA AND GRANDPA. { T will remember that being old does not give me the privilege of being cranky and disagreeable and making myself obnoxious to those who have to live with me. 1 will bear in mind that the mere fact that I have lived 70 or 80 years does not automatically turn me into a Solomon who is capable of regulating the affairs of all about me. 1 will refrain from giving unsolicited advice and making suggestions and telling my children how they shall raise their children and run their houses and carry on their business, and from criticizing everything they do because they don't do it the way I used to do it. | 1 will remember that my personal reminiscences are of no earthly interest to anybody except myself. and I will not bore people to extinction by monologing about when Johnny had the measles inr '82, or how I fought the Cuban War.

Tt is not hard to read the face and to discover there some trace that diagrams the mind: for pas- sions such as greed and hate don't speedily evaporate, and leave no trace behind.

His tace gives notice, as he wends. that truth and virtue are his friends, he’s free from sordid wiles; he has the honest sort of eves. his brow informs us he is wise, there's friendship in his smiles.” Then we behold another wight, and say, “We'd hate to meet at night a man with face like that: that he might get our tawdry roll he'd slug us with a chunk of coal. or shoot us with a gat.” No doubt the two, when thev were voung, and by the cares of life un- wrung, had faces much the same: but one had conscience for his guide, be- holding vice he dodged aside, and nlaved a righteous game.

(Conyright 1028 ) Everyday Law Cases Are Conflicting Statements by Witness Sufiicient to Prove Perfury? BY THE COUNSELLOR. Being the only person present at an altercation between two men as a re- sult of which one of the men was | killed, Henry Jones was an important witness for the State. At the preliminary hearing before the magistrate Jones testified that Smith, the survivor, had kicked the deceased. causing him to fall against a sharp ledge, as a result of which his skull was {ractured. Smith denied the charge. but on Jones' testimony ne was held for further actin. His indictment followed. and there- after he was placed on trial for mur- der. The attorney for the State felt confident of a verdict of guilty. but when Jones was placed on the stand he testified that the deceased had trip- ped over a coat and had fallen against a sharp ledge, and that Smith had not kicked or struck the deceased. Smith was found not guilty, but the State’s attorney sought to charge Jones with perjury, showing that he had testi- fied falsely on one of the two occa- stons. The court, however. would not en- tertain the charge, explaining the law as follows: “It is now well established that a conviction of perjury cannot be had upon proof alone that the accused made contradictory statements. The e which of the two s is false. and must show the s made the basis of prejury charge to be false by other r\:dléncc than the contradictory state- ment.” State must pr Conright. 1978 ) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN, “Smile, Smile, Smile."” | We saved the masks used at n-uo--i | een this year because they were quite | comical and had such happy laughs.

D. Model Fat Boy Reports. Only regular readers will remember the model fat boy, and probably only fattish ones will be interested in his progress, so before he submits his re- port we had better explain about him. He barged in here last Summer at the age of 47, 68 inches tall, weighing 194 pounds—20 per cent excess baggage which by rights ought to cost a man 20 per cent surtax. He passed a life in- surance examination nevertheless. He could hold his breath 31 seconds— which is not enough for a live man. In the heaith examination the model fat bhoy received three bad marks— (1) on slight effort he began to puff and blow, (2) he confessed frequent momentary spells of dizziness on sud- | denly standing up or jumping out of | bed, and (3) he admitted on cross- examination that he had hecome just a little grouchy in the last few years. All this was duly recorded here July 15. July 20 we made an assay of the fat boy's knickknacks. Yea, this trifle came out in the health examination—the life insurance examiner cares nothing at all about an applicant’s knickknacking his- tory. A life insurance examination is a very poor test indeed if you want to know about your heaith status. The | fat boy's evening knickknack averaged 400 calories, say six peanut butter cracker sandwiches or a hired man size slab of appie ple. This he had the habit of tucking away a4 he sat and smoked and read before retiring. Now it is almost axiomatic in nutri- tion that if you can prevail upon a BEAUTY CHATS poor skinny gink to wrap himsel! around some such bedtime Iunch every night, over and above his ordinary day’s rations, he will pick up something like 20 pounds in a year, all other things being favorable and the poor gink free to gain. Bo the treatment of the fat boy's case was obvious. He was advised to delete knickknacking from his scheme of lite, and since that could be expected only to stop the steady accumulation of surplus flesh, he was given some positive suggestions, too, golf, garden- ing, carpentering and walking a defi- nite distance daily, among them. progress In six months he has foug a determined fight against the knick- knacks—some men have wives who just henpeck them to death. while others have wives who lure them to | ruin with knickknacks—and while he till weakens and indulges now and then, he weighs only 178 pounds and he can now hold his breath 38 seconds He i3 walking about 3 miles a day besides doing prodigies of ground and lofty carpentering around his home. If the fat boy were a woman this would be nothing at all to speak o! but being a member of the self-ind gent sex his progress thus far is in- deed extraordinary, and what is still more wonderful to relate, his wife tes- tifies that he 1s getting much more like his old self, which is to say, a return n!u:ome!h!ng of his old sunny dispo- sition. FCopyrigkt. 1928.) BY EDNA KENT FORBES Waving Your Hair. order. Better consult a doctor about the trouble if it continues. A tem- There are some types of hair so stringy and limp that the only thing to ! do with them is to put in as much wave | or an y as possible. There is a limp blondish type of hair possessing neither thick- ness nor gloss and there is also a thin, otly, dark brown hair which looks hope- lessly stringy no matter how it combed. For the first variety I would advise a weekly snampoo with castile soap, the last lukewarm rinse water to have the juice of half a lemon put into it. This i= a harmless bleach and makes the hair drier and fluffler. While the hair is wet, push it into waves with a number of small combs (which you can buy everywhere, including the 10-cent stores), put & hair net over these to hold them in and dry quickly before a fire. This sets the hair sufficiently so that the wave stays in two or three days. For greasy dark hair I'd suggest a fortnightly shampoo, with an applica- tion first of powdered Egyptian henna. Half an ounce should be mixed with boiling water, appiled quickly to the scalp, hot, with an old toothbrush, left on for three minutes only. then washed off with successive applications of hot water and castile soap. It will take four soapings with a good deal of rub- | bing to get it all out. After rinsing, set | the Hair as instructed above and dry. | Henna for so short a period merely | brings out coppery tints in the hair without in any way it After a few applications you will not have to use it for months. ‘Whenever your hair looks frowsy and you can't shampoo it, wash your hair, brush clean with soapsuds and water, rinse it, do not dry it, but brush it through your hair. Without wetting the scalp it moistens the hair all over, when it can be quickly set with combs and dried under a net. In extreme cases use a curling iron. Mrs. Kate H—The blackhead powder is made by mixing together two ounces of corn starch, one ounce of almond meal and one ounce of borax. It is used in the place of soap. 1 Esther J.
