What The Stars Foretell
By MARY BLAKE
Intolerance or any form of bigo- try must not be permitted to sway your judgment, influence your actions or be revealed in any sentiment you might express, for narrow-mindedness will cause most of this day's difficulties. Be care- ful what thought you implant in any young person's mind, for many ideas may take root that are liable to result in a great deal of good or evil thinking. Any strong pre- monition you might have should not be disregarded, for it will possibly save you from making a serious mistake. In some incident that might occur, see if there is not a simple line of demarkation between right and wrong, before deciding how you will handle it. This is a poor day to refuse to see or interview anyone, for the aver- age person is likely to have a diversity of news from which some valuable information may be lean- ed, Married and engaged couples, as well as those who are consider- ing any early engagement, must be careful what they repeat this day, for through tactless remarks trouble appears to be brewing.

House Cleaning Tips
When washing windows on the inside, put a newspaper under the lower edge of the window sash. It will fall over and protect the wall paper from being spotted under- neath." One can work faster and do a neater job as well when the paper is there. When the window is washed and polished, it tukes only a second to take the paper out from under the sash.
FRESHENING DARK WOODWORK
Dark woodwork often takes on a dull or spotted appearance when it is washed with soap and water or varnished. Chemists explain that the soap and water is inclined to destroy the finish. The spots become sealed in by the varnish.
To avoid this, go over the dark woodwork with a mixture of equal parts of turpentine and linseed oil -the kind painters use. Stir or shake the mixture and apply with either a gloth or a brush. This will both clean and dress the dark sur- face.
PAINT THE RADIATORS
A rusty, dingy-looking radiator. gives a touch of unnecessary shab-. biness to a room or a hallway. It doesn't take long or cost much to get enough radiator paint, bronze, or silver, to coat the surface freshly and to give this heating unit an en- tirely different and improved ap- pearance.
When hanging pictures after- house cleaning, the task is quickly and satisfactorily done if a meas- uring rule is used to get the exact spot where the molding hook should be placed. Then there will be no uncomfortable shifting about of the picture. The hook can be put over the molding where it belongs-if there is a molding. If the picture. hangers which are out of sight be-- hind the picture are used, exact measurement is important so that wall surfaces will not be punctured unnecessarily.
BRUSHING AND AIRING CURTAINS

If curtains or draperies be re-hung at the windows without laundering or sending to the clea- ner, it is a good plan, to hang the washable draperies in the air and to brush them. Before they are put up, they will be improved to be pressed and the original creases put into them.
The heavier draperies may be brushed and reconditioned as seems beat. Those over-drapes which will stand pressing, should be pressed. This little extra effort will freshen the hangings and well repay the ex- tra trouble.
PATCHING NET OR LACE CURTAINS
A break in a net or lace curtain› may be invisibly mended by ap- plying a patch of the necessary size of the same or similar material. Dip the patch in the same starch with which the net has been stiffen- ed. Iron the patch into place and it will stay until the curtain is laundered again.
