Weekly Letter.
Dear Girls: From Munich we came
bv rail to Zurich and arrived here, in
this lovely hotel by the lake, early in
the morning.
Our sleeper had been dreadful, as
usual, and we huddled tn our taxi,
c sleepv-eyed and sullen, as we sped
along to the hotel. But when we
rounded a corner and saw before Us
the tall, gracious-ldoklng house, front
ed by n lovely rose garden, directly on
the blue lake, our bad spirits fled.
Our room is directly on a canal, and
one could almost imagine being in
Venice as one sits on the balcony,
hearing the soft splash of oars from
the fishing boats below.
Here we have Several English friends
and they had already arranged a gor
geous time for us dancing every
night and a really bang-up party at
| Lake Luzerne.
This latter affair came off on a
bright, sunny day. We took an open
car and were whisked away over the
I mountains to Lake Luzerne. Always
i the lofty, snow-topped Alps were be
! fore us, lending dignity and grandeur
| to the most humble scene.
At Luzerne we lunched with a rath
er pathetic family—the head of the
family an old aristocrat, who had lived
all his life in England, although he
was by birth a German. His wife had
I once been beautiful. We could see
that in the flash of her dark eyes, in
i the gleam of her still black hair, in
the curve of her face, which time was
doing its best to destroy. She and her
husband and daughter had lived hap
| pily in England until the outbreak of
I the war, when their English friends
| and neighbors had turned against
j them because of the father’s German
i birth.
! They fled to Switzerland, a neutral
| country, and there they have con
tinued to eke out a lonely existence —
too proud to return to England, utter
ly strangers to Germany and barred
i front living in France.
The daughter, a pretty little thing,
i is quite cut off from all the good times
i and parties she might have had if it
had not been for the dreadful war.
They were so kind and we pitied
! them so. After our lunch we took a
launch and went across the lake, sur
i rounded by snow-capped mountains.
1 It was a thrilling journey-—so much to
1 look at und admire and we were
r i sorry to reach the other side finally,
• where we were picked up by the car
- again.
, And so home, to prepare for a big
dance given that night at the hotel.
Somehow I couldn’t get the thought
of that poor little English girl out of
, my mind.
There was a case where all the ad
j vice in the world couldn’t help that
. poor child—cut off from all her friends
! and playmates, in a foreign land where
(even the language was strange to her
—she has something to worry about.
. | Sort of makes you think over your
> | own problems, doesn’t it? And sort of
| makes you realize that they're not so
bad after ali. Lots of love, MIMI.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKK.
Virgo.
Tomorrow’s, planetary aspects are,
: until noon, dubious and overcast.
| Therefore, they become stimulating
: and very favorable. During the early
; part of the day it will be necessary
: to exercise self-restraint and to main
: tain poise and deliberation, in order
to avoid the pitfalls into which such
external influences as the day pre
sents may plunge you. Possibly the
usual observances and recreations as
sociated with the Sabbath day may
prevent you becoming a victim of the
emotions brought about by untoward
j aspects. Later on. in the afternoon
j and evening, the atmosphere is
charged with optimism and cheerful
ness. and, if you “let yourself go” In
sympathy, this will inevitably pro
mote a mark d degree of harmony
and contentment.
A child born tomorrow will be nor
mally healthy during infancy, but in
its teens will be subject to one or
i more serious illnesses, which will de
mand of its parents the utmost care,
forbearance and devoted attention. If
these he given there will be no need
to worry about the final outcome. In
disposition and character it will, re
gardless of sex, be amiable, full of
life and very affectionate. It will be
frank and candid, truthful and sin
cere. loyal and normally courageous,
quickly resentful of any injustice, but
readily responsive to love and kind
ness, patient and forbearing and,
above all, unselfish and always consid
crate of others. It may not achieve
any great material success, but it will
fill well its niche in the world.
If tomorrow is your birthday, an
analysis of your character, based on
astrological signs, indicates that you
have a conservative nature, a careful
disposition, a conscientious spirit and
a faithful temperament. No matter
how sinßll or insignificant the task,
you always do everything to the best
of your ability. You never skimp
work or neglect duty. In spite of a
strong will, you, at times, are too
easily led or influenced by others, and
this complacency has often led to
your undoing. The main cause for
this condition is that you always at
tribute to others the same good mo
tives and high principles that guide
you.
Your inclinations are domestic, and
you are ever ready to listen to any
tale of woe. In spite of your con
servatism, you strong sympathies
often make you a victim of those
that are. unscrupulous.
You are capable of a strong Jove,
and your home life should be pleasant
and agreeable.
Well known persons horn on that
date are: Jane Addams, social re
former; William H. H. Miller, lawyer;
Samuel D. Burchard, clergyman;
James Henry Coffin, meteorologist;
Fanny Wright, reformer, and Mar
quise de Lafayette. French general.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX
Jealous Y\ ife Whose Rival Is a Picture Lady —Dis-
traught Husband \\ hose Wife Wants Career
Instead of Home Life.
D 1A R MISS DIX: My husband is good and kind to me in every way, but he
r 13 } n love with ~ne of the famous motion picture artists. He is
orevei citing her to me as an example, and he must see every picture of hers
that comes to town. Os course, l realize that he will probably never see this
woman in the flesh, and that there can never he anything between them,
out. nevertheless. I atn fiercely jealous. What must I do to cure him? G. L.
Answer. Just laugh at him, and at yourself, and reflect that as long as
jour onlj’ rival is a picture on a screen, you are a luokv woman with nothing
to worry over.
Most of us have our dream loves, some character in fiction, or history, or
a play that obsesses our imagination. They say that thoußinds of men have
broken their heart# over the portrait of Mona Lisa, with her mysterious,
alluring smile. And a few years ago a famous novelist wrote u most diverting
hook in which he depicted the thrills of having a love affair with all the
great sirens of tradition.
Probably no young and romantic girl ever read the “Idylls of the King”
without thinking how wonderful it would be to be swept off her feet by a
Launcelot, or worshiped by a Sir Galahad. And few, Indeed, are the maidens
who have not had cases on matinee heroes, and who aren’t a trifle envious of
| the ladies who play opposite sheiks of the silver screen.
It all glow's out of our desire for something more romantic, more
beautiful, more alluring than our commonplace, everyday life, and the
commonplace everyday people we meet, but it is just a vision, a) fantasy, a
sigh in the air. For, in reality, we all know' that we wouldn't know what to
do with these hifalutin romantic creatures If we had them. They would
make us terribly* uncomfortable, and we w-ouldn’t have a thing in common
with them, or a word to say to them.
d° n 1 bother your head over your husband's infatuation for a picture.
If this vamp should walk off the screen, and begin rolling her eyes at him, he
would turn and flee.
And the next time he throws this screen lady up to j'ou, just ask him
how he would like to pa> r for ali those million dollars’ worth of clothes and
jewels she wears, and how he would like a wife who thought that a quart
of rhinestones was sufficient covering for appearing in public? Also inquire
of him if he doesn’t think that for domestic purposes it is better for a wife
to know how' to cook than it is to be an expert vamp? DOROTHY DIX.
• » * *
|~^LA R DOROTHY DIX: Please give me a recii>e to prevent my falling in
love. 1 am a girl of 20, and have already been in love three or four
times, and to my disgust I find that lam falling in love again. When lam
in love I am absent-minded, and wake up with a start when spoken to. 1 lose
interest in everything and everybody save the object of my affections. I am
either In a state of ecstasy, or plunged in deep melancholy. I spend tnj’ time
on the verge of nervous prostration, waiting for the ting a ling of the
telephone. »
Altogether love is a most nerve w racking thing to me, so please tell me
how to avoid it. FLAPPER.
Answer: Your symptoms sound unpleasant, but heart troubles at your,
age are seldom fatal, so cheer up. If. however, vou wish to ward off an attack
of love-sickness, you might try this remedy:
Take one pound of self-control, mix it with your previous experience
which has taught you that you have loved and ridden away, and will live to
love another day. Add an ounce of clear vision, which will enable you to
see the young man as an ordinary commonplace chap just like millions of
other young men, instead of being a romantic sheik.
Apply the acid test of common sense to the situation, und discover if he
has anj* qualities of character, or intellect, or conversation that make him
worth the affection of a young woman. Strain your memories of his line of
talk, and see whether it was just jollying and mushing, or if he had something
worth while to say that you could listen to without getting bored for the next
25 or 30 years.
Set your emotions to cool in the ice box of reason, instead of keeping
them simmering hot over the fires of fancy. And if this doesn't cure you, try
the ahsence cure, which Is nearly always efficacious, for out of sight Is out
of mind. DOROTHY DIX.
• • • •
TXEAR MISS DIX: My wife and I are both college graduates. We have
been married three years, and during all of that time she has been
teaching in a small private school. My salary is enough to give her a nice
home, yet she deserts it for her career. We are very happy, but have no
home life. Can you tell me what to do? DISTRAUGHT.
Answer: Before a woman marries, she has the right to make a choice
between domesticity and her career, but having chosen domesticity, she is in
honor bound to abide by her decision. That is only playing it fair and
square with her husband, because if he had not expected her to do a wife’s
part in making a home, he would not have married her. The thing that is
in every - man's mind when he takes unto himself a wife is the home he longs
for, a well-ordered house, with a good dinner, and a cheerful, smiling wife to
mefet him xvhen he comes home of an evening.
Os course, it is sometimes necessary for the wife to work outside of the
home, but this is always unfortunate. Also the results are generally
disastrous, for no woman can serve two masters. She is bound to neglect one
or the other, and she nearly always kills herself trying to do double duty.
If she is more interested in her career than she is in her home, she
neglects the home. Indeed, in any case she is bound to neglect the home,
because no woman who works for a salary can command her own time, or
gauge the amount of strength she must give to her labor.
