IT SEEMS as if the ghosts of yes
terday would eyei basat the dear
old grandmother and grandfather
people who sit cuddled before a fire
place, with their knitting or the fam
ily Bibleis their laps, and how pleas
ant seems these memories of years
gone by to them!
Grandmother likes to tell us of her
youth, which to us, in this whirlpool
span of ours, seems tame and unin
teresting. Grandfather is proud to
boast that he' is a self-made man, and
how, after years of toil and travail,
he has built what is today the founda
tion of our home and our future.
Sometimes we shock them and
often we hurt them when we wan
tonly close our ears and will not lis
ten to these stories of their beloved
yesterdays.
"We wouldn't have committed such
iftdiscretions in our youth," exclaim
our grandmothers after listening to
wild narratives of what are to us or
dinary, everyday occurrences.
"So stupid!" we exclaim, as we
turn and hurry out of the room.
"And what uninteresting lives our
grandmothers must have had!" Then,
"How glad we are that our youth be
longs to the Todays and the Tomor
rows," we continue, not stopping to
think that as the years go by on
swallows' wings, we, too, shall grow
old and our ideas become colorless
and old-fashioned to the generation
succeeding us.
And even now, we who do talk
about the joys of our Todays are
ever living in the dreams of what
we have called, when we were little
children, "Tomorrow Land."
At six we think that "Tomorrow
Land" means twelve, when we will
be old enough to play games with the
other children, read books and go to
dancing school. But when we are
twelve, we are not so happy, because
we allow ourselves to think of that
"Tomorrow Land" when we will be
sixteen, wear long dresses, hairpin
our curls and perhaps go to board
ing school.
At sixteen, there will be wonderful
parties where boys will go-there will
be hay rides and some one will make
a mistake and instead of calling you
by your first name, will address you
as "Miss," which will make you
know you are grownup and ready
to face the great adventures of life.
But when sixteen comes, then once
more you turn your footsteps toward
"Tomorrow Land" and think of the
early twenties, when the call of ro
mance is tenderly persistent and you
are always listening for it, eager for
that day when love's dream will be
come a joyful reality.
"Oh, how uninteresting it is to be
twenty!" so many young girls are
overheard to complain. "When I am
twenty-five, then can I be independ
ent and sure of myself. And then can
I make laws unto myself and abide
by them, if I will or no."

If a girl a fortunate b to b
a mother at twenty-five, '. wi shy
live in the "Tomorsow " anm
dream of the day whso her little
children will be grown and in t r
fulfilling their destiny. Someimes e
woman dreams of maturity as a har
vest of blessing and reward for the
many years of struqie that have
passed. Hope, thou at is ever fugi.
tive, dwells eternally in "Tomorrow
Land."
Perhaps it is sweet to dream o1
what the dawn will bring, but we
turn to the sages and philosophers
who have lived wise and happy lives
and ask, "Where and when do yot
find the honey of life the sweetest
dwelling in the past or living for the
future?'
The sages look at us as if we were
little children who were trying tc
learn the lessons of life by holding
our primer upside down in our eage
hands.
"The keynote to happiness," the]
warn us, "is living in Today."
Answers to Correspondents.
M. A. F.-Yes, many of the school:
teaching the writing of photoplayi
insist that it is necessary for the
amateurs to lay out their scenario:
in scenes, but I would always advise
sending in a well-constructed, type
written synopsis only.
L. G.-Singing lessons and elocu.
tion are not necessary if you are am
bitious to become a moving pictur
actress. You might study Delsarte
and facial expression.
Mamie B.-I think you have made
a great mistake to bleach your hair
as blondes do not look any prettie
on the screen than brunettes. I
hardens a girl's face and makes hei
less attractive. If I were you,
would let it slowly go back to it
natural color.
"Cruelty to Animals"-We neve
starve a dog or cat to make it lool
gaunt in pictures. We pick out type
in animals just as we do types o
people. Not all thin people are hun
gry, as you know.
"Inquisitive"-You cannot be ver
serious about your romance for th
three moving picture actors you men
tiened, nor can I help you by advis
ing you as to whether they are mar
ried or not. Were you my sixteen
year-old sister, I think I should cer
tainly scold you and send you bac:
to your studies, warning you to kee
your mind from romancing abou
screen idols whom you have neve
met.
AI rs. N. K. B.-Take the little bo
around to visit the studios, taking
picture of him and leaving his de
scription. Clever children are al
nays desired by the studios, but it i
difficult to train them, especially i
they have never had any stage ex
ocrience.

Walls esaye and the room fast
gated amssary the housekeeper
nest deaide whether she will have a
papered room or a painted one. The
last idea IS the more wholesome of
the two, for painted walls can be
washed down every seaeon. and. be
elides, paint lasts a good deal longer
than paper. If paper is chosen it is
in a very light olor and without a
distinet pattern. -bene pretty wall
papers in shadow stripes-white and
faint gray, or whits and cream-are
very smark and give a suggestion of
space. Thee may have a floral gar
land at the top or be put on without
it. The ceiling is calsomined for both
the painted and the papered room and
the woodwork painted white with a
hard enameled finish. After the week
ly cleaning, a rag dipped in white
soap-suds is used on the painted part
of the room with fne effect.
With-a plain wall paper, it is pos
sible to use hangings and cushions of
bright chintz or cretonne, and that is
one reason why the plainer papers are
best for bedrooms. For figured win
dow curtains, when they are of wash
able material, are most decidedly at
tractive.
If a figured paper is used, the hang
ings at the windows and the covers
for bureau. table and cushions. should
be of a plain color. For too much
color and too many figures in a bed
room-or any other-are confusing.

HOROSCOPE.
Tuesday, April 11, 1916.
During the business hours today the
stars are not propitious, but the evening
is more fortunate. Early in the morn
ing Neptune and \Mars exercise sinister
power. "Ater, Venus is in benefic as
pect
It is not an auspicious rule for workers
in construction of any sort that employs
steel or explosives.
There is a sign read as indicating mis
understandings and misapprehensions
concerning the United States army.
Through the remainder of the spring
and summer many war scares are prob
able and alarmists will gain attention,
but it is maintained by the seers that
this country will not become involved
in war, even though, the remaining neu
tral powers of Europe are drawn in.
Neptune is in a place that is supposed
to encourage false ideas and this planet's
evil power may be felt in a way that
causes bitter agitation among working
men and women as well as political feuds
of unusual character.
This evening is a fortunate time for
entertainments of every sort. Weddings
should be lucky and dinners should bring
benefits, especially if they are banquets
in honor of public men.
In the West a woman will gain great
- distinction by some public service it is
prophesied.
The stars presage a return to modesty
and even prudery after the war and
women are to be less extravagant in
dress, even when money is plentiful.
C Crimes of peculitar character are likely
to multiply under this sign.
t The discovery of a new fuel for motor
cars or the utilisation of some substitute
for gasoline is foreshadowed.
Persons whose birthdate it is have a
happy augury for the year. They may
a have a few business anxieties, but the
general forecast is good.
Children born on this day probably will
- be very successful in Mfe. These sub
jects of Aries are usually ambitious and
1 practical.

An especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that dissolves and en
tirely removes all dandruff, excess oil
and dirt, can easily be made at
trifling expense by simply dissolving
a teaspoonful of canthrox in a eup
of hot water. Pour slowly an *CLp
and massage briskly. This creates a
soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and pliant. while the hair takes on
the glossy richness of natural color,
also a fluffiness which makes it seem
much heavier than it is. After a
canthrox shampoo arranging the hair
is a pleasure.-Adv.
