Business associations. as well as family interests. are favored. so it would be well to make plans now: to lay the foun- dation for sound, stable and last- ing accomplishments. However. since subtle influences also pre- vail, it would be well to guard against those with crafty. schem- ing and dubious ideas Let logic and careful analysis guide you in your decisions and do not permit emotionalism to interfere with orderly. mental processes. For The Birthday If tomorrow Ls your birthday, you may find yourself faced with challenging and intriguing prob- lems. For while your immediate outlook is good. it may be com- licated by others whose ideas rder on the complex, making you hesitant about going forward in your own way. Schemes which border on the fanciful and ideas born of emotionalism can always be defeated, however. with the use of logic and common sense. Io bear this in mind when faced with any such business or per- sonal crisis. Sudden impulses might complicate most promis- lng issues. so "use your head." A fruitful year is ahead for those who plan shrewdly, analyze care- fully. Keep poised, stable. A child born on this day may have a rather complex natur& Ihrevwd. subtle. yet with much basic logic and good sense. l Modern Etiquette Iy loberla Leo Q.

When descending, however, he goes first. In both instances. he stations himself below her so as to be in position to catch her should she stumble. Q. What should a divorced wo- man do with the rings given to her by her first husband. after she remarries? A. Some women dispose of both rings. Others wear the first en- gagement ring on the righthand. provided of course the second husband does not object to this. Q. Is it ever proper to use a fork to put the butter on a piece of bread or biscuit? A. No; the knife should be used for this. g ousehold Scrapbook ly Roberta Leo nuance Substitute Pasta I There are many times when one i-9 in dwperate need of some paste at home.

By An lslandilarmers Wife "Now there." our hostau of an autumn visit.- to a. somewhat dis- tant farmatead rented a finger on a piece of plaid in the quilt lie was rebinding, "that is a. bit from my first Ichool dxus. It -was quite plain, I recall - made with the full sleeves of those days and trimmed with , black velveteen. Long cuffs of it came almost to the elbow; the belt too and the round yoke and fitted band of collar was of the same. The black made a pretty contrast with the bright of the plaid and I was quite proud of it - in the original."

Weary- we who revel in the "living" his- tory of the past! "No indeed!" we replied. "It's quite pretty, isn't it - gray. flecked with colors? But. dear me, how I disliked it -- when I had to wear a skirt of it to school in my teens! It was one I had inherited from an older girl and of course, never fitted me . . . bunched about my hips. I felt like old Mother Hubbard when I wore it-always unwillingly." she laugh- ed merrily over in remembrance. "Indeed I got to despise it so much that I. took care to wear it over a neater. if somewhat worn dress so that I could discard it on my way to school . . . kick it off and stow it under a "var" that branched low to the ground! I confess I felt mean doing the like -deceiving my Mother, but when I wore it. it just about ruined my morale. It had a depressing ef- fect that brought down my aver- age and made me lose confidence in myself. so I worried with the 'off again; on again' affair for a few weeks until the arrival of spring let me don lighter wear." . . . "'1 wonder if that 'Var' is still there? But no. all the trees are gone from that road. Ah me. the changes the years bring. And." she smiled, "the dreadful grow- ing-pains school-girls have over their clothes! They tax a mother's wisdom, her ingenuity and pa- tience. But an experience like that- what my pride suffered in having to wear that skirt, I'll never forget!" helps when one mothers girls of her own. It's true that only by suffering our- selves. can we understand and sympathize with others in similar circumstances. "And this?" we pointed to a tri- angle of blue patterned in a. deep- or shade of the same - for as yet there was no sign of James, nor sound of his summons. She smoothed the silky surface tenderly. "That, Ellen, I wore to my first party-dance I should say. My pgrems didn't believe in dancng but because this was at e neighbour's we were allowed lo at- tend - and how we enjoyed it! And it's silly to be remembering the like and us with a Family grown! But that was the night . . . " And there is James again, fid- geting and ruggesting in the frost E ylyknnohnltley Q. What can I use as a substi- tute for dog biscuits? A. one can save money spent on dog biscuits. as well as make use of all leftover bread. Slice the bread and put in into the boiling oven. Allow it to get brown on one side, and then' turn over and brown until quite hard. This makes a'good dog buscuit; it af- fords mlendid roughage and is a good tooth cleaner. Q, How can I mend worn rugs? A. By sewing a piece of burlap to the wrong side with wool thread. making stitches form loop: on the right side. afterward clip- ping the loops the height of the nap of the rug. .

He shelved the obligation of being a faithful husband along with the responsibility of being sole provider for his home. to shlrk the responsibilities of married life, and if a wife could only gauge her man's capacity for ahouldering his marital and parental obligations. many a marriage would be saved through her own adjust- When a husband evinces a desire to have his wife work. especially when his earnings are adequate for the main- he is plainly shoulder the burden alonef At this point, a wise woman, instead of mcckly acqulcscing to his demands. and thereby encouraging his dependence, tries to develop his self-confidence to the point where he STILL A CHANCE FOB HAPPINESS l Since the present crisis in your home has given your husband some realization of his shortcomings, there ll a good chance of salvag- ing happlness from the present wreckage.
