Tomorrow, Is a fairly fortunate day in planetary direction, according to astrology, which reads’ friendly influ- ences in the stars. The planetary gov- crnment is especially_favorable to wom- en, who should benefit in all their pub- lic’ ambitions. 1t works of charity and philanthropy women are espectally well directed while this configuration prevails. Clubs and other organizations should profit from the aspect, which presages | changes as well as successful under- takings. This should be & lucky wedding day inclining toward harmony, and presag ing success in the finer ambitions. | Girls should make the best of mew | friendships_begun_under this rule of | | the stars, which enables them to win admiration and respect. The mind should be clear, and able to grasp most human problems while | this sway continues. There is a sign of promise for those who dwell in the world of dreams, for | there is to be a great demand for the | work of creative minds. All the aspects appear to presage much profit for American authors who | are to till new fields of fiction. | Again the seers stress the fact that advertising and publicity are to be sought as never before. Newspapers and magazines are to | benefit greatly in the coming year, when | changes may be expected. | Tomorrow, is not an auspiclous day for_suitors. Persons whose birth date it is should be exceedingly careful in the selection | of friends. They should be careful in | fulfilling their duties, if they are em- | ployes. Children born on that day may be rather too decided in their opinions to be popular. The subjects of this sign usually have first-rate brains. (Copsright. 1928.) A Sermon for Today RY REV. JORN R. GUNN. Sentiment. Text: “There came a woman hav- ing an alabaster box of ointment of | spikenard, very precious; and she brake | the box and poured it on His head."— | Mark xiv.3, i Men of practical mind who witnessed | this incident protested, saying, “Why this waste?” It seemed all too senti- | mental to them. | Some people never do anything for the sake of sentiment. They pride | themselves on being practical. If it were left them, they would turn. the whole earth into a cornfield. No room would be allowed for a flower garden. To be sure, the cornfleld has its place, but without some flower gardens this would be a dreary-looking earth. We can't run the world on sentiment, but without it human soclety would be in- tolerable. There may be such a thing as being too sentimental, but I am sorry for people who have no sentiment in their nature. I do not see how suth people get any thrill out of life. They must be a misery to themselves. Certainly they do not make happy mmg:muns. Without sentiment the heart becomes cold and hard. Sentiment is by no means a useless thing. It is a very necessary thing. It much easler the hard, prosaic, practical parts of life. ‘The man who has a heart that responds to the tender and beautiful is the man best prepared for Iife’s sterner duties. Bentiment 1s not weakness, Senti- ment s power, Sentiment is inspira- tion. It is the inspiration that lles back of the noblest deeds of self-sacri- fice and love. The noblest and most useful things ever done in the world have heen inspired by & sentimental motive, People who speak disparagingly of sentiment little understand its value and meaning. “Very preclous,” indeed, is the “alabaster box" of sentiment.

I cannot see any future for me like other boys whose fathers have lots of money and can give them big cars and fine clothes. B. § : Why one child Is born in a palace and another in a hovel; why s one babe to & millionaire and the other to a pauper is a mystery beyond all finding out. The way we begin life Is a matter of luck, but the manner in which we end it 1 of our own making. Many a baby that was swathed in silks and Iaces at its birth wears the beggar's rags later on in life, and many a child that was cradled in a soap box comes to stand before kings clothed in purple and fine linen. Don't envy the rich boys, Bob, and feel that they have opportunities which you can never have and that you can never hcpe to compete with them. You have an advantage that outweighs all of thelrs and that is the necessity to suc- ceed. That will be a goad In your side to urge you on when you falter in the climb upward. It will give strength to you and brace you to make fresh efforts Some one sald once to ore of our multi-millionaires, who' was & self-made man, that he had given his son every advantage in the world. “Yes," replied the father, “I have given him every advantage except the great advantage of all, and that Is poverty.” And that is truer than you think, Bob. Just now you think that fate has send them off to expensive colleges and give them big allowances and fine cars, and who can put them in good, ready-made jobs when they are through school. But the boys who are going to make their mark in the vorld and who 20 years ‘from now are going to be running banks and building raflroads and holding big executive positions: the men who are going to be the Senators and judges. the famous writers and actors: the man who is going to be President of the United States—all these are the boys who are working their way through college, the boys who ate carrying surveyors' chains and walking cross-ties, the boys who are shabby lawyers™ clerks, the boys who are working up from small The successful men have not often been born on Easy street. Most of them come from Poverty flat. Run o the list of the big men in our country today. come from even well-to-do families. Most of them are the children of desperately poor people Many of them had to go to work as small boys, not only to support themselves, but to help support their families Poverty their making ause it drove them on. It forced them to put forth the greatest effort of which they were capable. It hardened the muscles of their souls. Their backs were against a wall and they had to fight or die, and v fought on to victory. Most of us human beings are weaklings, Bob. We just naturally take the | easlest way, and when we don't have to do a thing we don't do it. We dodge | the hard sledding whenever we can. But the poor boy whose job means his bread and butter and clothes to cover him sticks to it, and because he wants more money and knows he can get it only by doing better work he puts his heart and his back into it and eventually works up to the top.. Buck up your courage and go to work determined to make & success and make enough money to buy a flcet of cars for yourself. DOROTHY DIX. e e EAR MISS DIX: I am a lonely professional woman, neither young nor old, and only moderately good-looking. My husband deserted me six years ago and since that time I have given myself up to making a living, but after having achieved success in my business I want some masculine society to fill in my life, just as a man wants a wife or sweetheart after work hours. How am I to go about getting this particular thing? AT SEA. Answer: If there was some magic by which women could attract men, it would sell for more than radium and they would barter their immortal souls to get it. But there isi t. All that any one can tell a woman is to put herself in an attitude to receive | | the blessing, as old-time Methodists used to say. That is, to go where she will | be brought into association with men, for in these days the myth of the shrinking violet has been exploded. No man goes hunting around to find some shy and retiring woman who is hiding in the background. If-she wants to be observed. iflhe must put herself in nis way where he will stumble over her every time he moves. | Evidently you have done this. Belng in business, you are brought In contact dally with many men, and if none of them finds you interesting enough to want | to pursue the acquaintance there is nothing that you can do about it. You can't vamp those for whom you have no allure. You can't charm those who do not | feel your spell, and that's all there 15 to it. L s bitter hard on you, but it Is smet. My own idea Is that under such circumstances a woman is wise If she puts all thoughts of lovers out of her head and fills her life with other interests. | Of course, any normal woman would rather have some man take her out for an evening's entertainment than go with another woman: there would be more | pep and thrill to it. But it is better to go Dutch treat with a sister than to sit at home and eat your heart out waiting for the man who never comes. After all, life is full of a lot of things besices dates and petting parties. Sl DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: I have been marrfed for a year and love my hu!b«nd’ dearly.
