TO-MORROW'S HOROSCOPE BY GENEVIEVE KEMBLA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28. Hostile forces dominate on this day, with the lunar forces threaten- ing all sorts of perplexity amd diffi- culties. With the moon in opposi- tion to three of the important plan- ets, it may be necessary to buckle on the armor and meet the foes of as- tral opposition with courage and for- titude. Those in the employment of others are urged to be particularly discreet in contact with their super- lors, and all are admonished to avoid speculation or other risk of finances. Sign all letters and documents with care as Mercury is_under serious affliction. Those whose birthday it is should arm themselves for a year of con- flict with . the prévailing astral forces. Those in the employment of others should be careful. All writ- ings should be cautiously handled and the money should not be risked in speculation or otherwise. A child born 'on this day may require very early training and discipline, especi- ally in the importance of veracity and responsibility. -------------- For Sweet Sixteen.

So Jarge has Ontario's membership become that this pro- vince holds its annual meeting in three sections. : George A. Putnam, Superinten- dent of Women's Institutes of On- tario, speaking at the opening of the meeting, gave very. high praise to the work of the institute, whose chief object is in bringing to the rural districts those advantages which make for the development of strong citizenship. '"Home-making in the country is very difficult," said Mr. Putnam, "and I therefore wish to compliment the institute on its cultural and social activities, its power to serve, and its attempt to provide a way of better living. It has well been said," Mr. Putnam continued, "that woman's work is never done, and this applies to the work of the institutes. Their field is unlimited. Much has been ac- complished already, such as de- monstration courses in household science, home nursing and medical inspection of schools. "The chief objects of the institutes should be to give the rural districts those advantages which make for the development of strong citizen- ship and protect the youth from de- structive practices. He compliment- ed the institutes on what they had accomplished in home efficiency, education, philanthropy, and neigh- borliness. The success of the orga- nization was due to the watchword, "Service." The Women's Institutes, had established schools for grown- ups; demonstration lecture courses and three months' courses. They had formed 4 link for effective co- operation with Government service. In concluding, Putnam empha- sized what the organizdtion might do towards making each rural home edonomically sound, mechanically convénient, physically healthful, morally wholesome, artistically sat- istying and soclally responsible, Tomorrow:--Recipes from Readers.

She is so old and so ill; and think of it! She gives music lessons to sup- port herself. A generation ago the greatest prima donna in the world, the idol of half Europe, a guest of princes. Who cares now that her voice is gone? i "It you interview me, I'll tell you my favorite furs, and ermine and sable and that I like only pearls and emeralds. Don't you mention that my only real seal coat is pleced out this year with dyed muskrat and that my pearls aren't real. I'll gladly give advice to young Amert- cans who wish to scale the glittering heights. Haven't I scaled 'em? I'll tell you about the Russian princes who have proposed to me --honest, one did--and I'll never mention our stage mechanic who did likewise." EXPOUTIVE MEETING OF NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN On Wednesday at Georgetown the National Executive of the National Council of Women opened their three days' session. Speaking at the luncheon were Mrs. H. D. War- ren, who spoke on the Guide move- ment, and Mrs, Emmeline Pank- hurst.
