What The Stars Foretell

By MARY BLAKE

Love perhaps will be a very important factor in your affairs this day. Maternal, paternal or a natural affection is apt to influence some action, or decision very favourably and is likely to be responsible for much of this days happiness. Your personal affairs require promptness and dispatch, for procrastination is the danger that seems likely to interfere with some of your lines of procedure, relating to a social or business undertaking. Written directions

can

save both time and trouble, because forgetfulness will

be a rather prevailing trait. You may discover the average person's sense of direction is likely to be decided- ly faulty, so in asking or directing the way to a specified place, be careful that the information

FOR BRASS OR SILVER

A special transparent paint is now sold which will keep brass, copper and silver ornaments from tarnishing. Candlesticks and brass or copper jugs and bowls can be kept in excellent condition for months, if very well cleaned and polished and then given two coats of this lacquer.

To exclude the air completely the lacquer should be applied liber- ally with a soft brush. The use of this lacquer is extremely helpful in the country cottage, where work has to be reduced to a minimum and it is difficult to have ornaments cleaned regularly. One can still have the gleam of old copper and brass in the dark rooms and have no worry as to constant cleaning.

correct. The prospects for busi- ness, as a whole, appear to be bright, with many encouraging signs that there will be plenty of money in circulation. Married and engaged couples, and those hoping to see their matrimonial dreams come true, must avoid any kind of grumbling this day, if quarrels are to be avoided.

If a woman and October 13 is your birthday, you should have a fine sense of justice and a gift for making excellent decisions. Being discriminating, you may win a re- putation for being artístic. You probably very broad-minded, free of prejudices, and methodical in your work. You may be inclined to count your pennies, for thrifti- ness is apt to be almost an ob- session. You ought to be very fond of good food especially sweet- meats. Your social graces may cause you to be very popular and a leader in your 'set. Among the activities which should assure you

Skirts are invariably narrow, and centre, front or one-side opening oc- curs. In some instances these open- ings proceed from slight wrap-over movements, Bruyere, for example, carries this idea just round one hip, where 'self-toned soutache makes an ornament from which hang long tie -strings. It is one of this designer's hooded dinner-gowns of purple crepe. They are of unbroken svelte line, with sometimes slight trains, but long sleeves and high tops on to which plain-coloured or embroidered hoods are welded as part of the gown to slip on or off the head.

Spangled sweater tops for dinner- gowns are the new idea from Main- bocher. They are worn tucked in under or gripped tightly round hips over heavy black crepe or fine black cloth skirts. Sweaters of black jersey cloth are usually sleeveless, and show spangles mixed with matching coloured jewels in bright green or red. These glistening motifs are threaded in sparse and dense lines downwards. Whether the jacket completing an out- line is "box" shaped or tailored classic lines, sequin embroidered collars are nearly always favoured.

GREEN AND: BLACK There is one black cloth outline with tailored jacket closed up to the neck by bright jade green buttons. Green spangles show on a black sweater worn beneath, and matching green satin gloves go with it: Main- bocher stresses these items to corres- pond with handbags in contrasting fabrics and colours for black evening gowns. They pair off in a host of 'different coloured lames, velvet; plain.

and broche satin.
