What The Button-Front House Dress

Stars Foretell

Very practical and business-like, this design is ideal for house work and daytime wear, Simple as it is,

The v-neck is finished with a narrow collar, to make it more becoming.

If a woman and April 19 is your in- birthday, you are industrious, dependent, outspoken and courage-

You ought to have ceptional amount of vitality and a win sunny disposition that should your many friends to a high loyalty to you. You probably have a re-. markable amount of self-control. Extravagance, particularly regard-

ing personal adornments, might be your besetting weakness. A wave of prosperity may sweep away all of your troubles, and leave you feeling that you are sitting on the top of the world. Your pen, artis- tic touch, selling ability, musical or dramatic talent may win for you much praise and an income not to be despised. Your selection of a husband in all likelihood will be a

wise one.

The child born on April 19, gen-. erally can be counted a winner. Some talent is likely to be develop- ed which will bring distinction in this youngster's mature years.

You'll thoroughly enjoy having several dresses like this,

in calico,
