HOROSCOPE.
The stars incline. but do not compel"
Tuesday, December ~, 1914.


The Sun enters the sign Capricorn just
after sunset in conjunction with Mars.
The conjunction Of Mars and the Sun
close to the cusp Of the seventh house
is perhaps the most sinister aspect, for
it signifies that peace will not be attained
for some time, and that the war COM
plications are likely to spread.
At the beginning Of this winter quar-
ter the stars are not all sinister, how
ever, for there is an access of patriotism
apparent. Great improvements in inven-
tions, especially those relating to avia-
ton, are promised, and there is indica-
ton Of a far-reaching spiritual awaken
ing in which science will formulate dis
coveries Connected with the occult world.
At Washington the Moon is rising and
the ingress takes place in the tenth
house, Mercury being in opposition to
Saturn. This is read unfortunate,
since it indicates heavy expenditures Of
public money, especially for military
operations. There is an Ominous sign
for the President of the United States,
who will be terribly harassed. He should
guard his health.
The rule. of the planets for today is
favorable. Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun, and
liars are all in benefic aspect, while
Venus is adverse.
Il is a time to push all enterprises that
promise commercial prosperity. The in
revival OF trade and for business develop
:u@nts. which will produce immense re-
turns
In the coming year, it is said by the
seers. the United States will face the
most important problems that have pre-
senteG themselves in the history OF any
country Terrible poverty and extraor-
dinary prosperity will mark conditions
that are unprecedented. There is a sign
read as presaginE immigration troubles,
probably iue to an Overpowering food
OF European refugees.
Mexico has a sign that prognosticates
continued revolution with new perils to
the people Of the United States.
Persons whose birthdate it is have the
augury Of rather a quiet year. Financial
affairs will not cause anxiety.
Children born on this day may be deli
cate health. They are likely TO have
great fluctuations of good and bad for
tune. They are subjects Of Capricorn and
have Saturn as their principal ruling
planet.

Winter Vegetables.

CARROTS IN VARIOUS STYLES
The humble carrot has an especially good
effect on the system, and despite its
strong taste It may be made into the
most delicate dishes. Winter carrots are
slightly boiled in three different waters
to remove this rankness, but the new
spring sort is dainty enough to require
one water only.
Carrots served with cream are first
boiled in plain water and then drained
and warmed anew in the sauce that has
been preparing. To make this sauce d.
lutte a little Of the boil water with two
thirds cream and thIcken slightly with
corn starch: season with black pepper
and salt and add a tablespoonful Of but
ter Carrot frftters are made with the
cold boiled vegetable mashed up and
mixed with bread crumbs and egg;
enough cream to make thickish batter
is used and the fritters are fried in boil
ing oil. Oyster plant and parsnips are
also delicious when served in fritter
form, the various ingredients used giving
the vegetables a most delicate taste.
BEANS, FRESH AND DRIED-String
beans a la Bretonns is a dish that Is
prepared by first boiling the vegetables in
salted water. Then q medium sized
minced onion il put into a pan with an
ounce or more Of butter. When the onion
bits have fried a delicate golden color,
little -four and tablespoonful Of Worces-
tershire are stirred in This mixture Is
stirred well until It comes to a boil, when
the beans are added, seasoned with salt.
pepper and a silver of garlic. All are
cooked together for ten minutes more,
then put on q hot dish and sprinkled with
chopped parsley. The dish must be serv-
ed piping hot. Dried red beans are first
soaked some hours in cold water. They
are then drained and put into more cold
water and boiled until tender. but with
out breaking the skins. A good deal Of
water is required to keep them whole.
When done, they are thoroughly drained,
seasoned with salt, pepper, butter and a
glass Of red wine and heated again in
melted butter. Chopped parsley makes
the top garnish. Cold beans Of any sort
string, butter. Lima, white, red, etc
make an excellent and cheap salad II no
other green stun Is procurable. All must
be well drained and thoroughly chilled.
Cayenne and italian oil, and a crust
rubbed with garlic, are daInties for the
seasoning, while the sprinkle of chopped
parsley for the top seems Indispensable
for fresh taste.

EYerrboaH', Wrapping Today.

Today almost every woman in Wash

us a good deal Of tfme-in wrapping
Christmas presents. Gay trappings for
Christmas gifts are so inexpensive now

sending on your holiday presents invit-

Fresh sheets OF tissue paper costs but
10 cents a quire, and fresh wrapping
paper. enough to cover all your Christ
mas presents. can be had for the same
amount It is a clever idea to have some
sort Of distinctive mode of wrapping
up your presents. Sometimes heavy. or
namented cord. fastened with sealing
wax, impressed with your own mono
gram or crest, gives an air Of distinc-
ton.
There are several ways Of using ribbon
besides in the usual red bow knots,

fastened about the package and secured
with paper seals. jewelers. ribbon comes
In all eolors, and It Is sometimes a relief
20 see Christmas packages tied with an
old-bius or yellow ribbon or cord in this
season when everything else takes on q
red or green semblanoe.
Packages that are to be delivered by
hand are beautihed by q sprig Of holly
or q bit of evergreen, with Its fresh
Christmas fragancs. All these things
take time and care, and, best Of all, they
show that time and care and love have

Russian Women Want to FIGHT

The Russian army authorities are bav.
ing a good deal of trouble because Of
the number of women disguised in mans
attire. OF course the women all had to
be sent back home and this has caused
the trouble.
There have been numerous instances of
the kind since the war started, especially
among the notwithstanding peasant
women of the northern provinces.
A girl named Liuba Uglicki was present
at four engagements in East Prussia and
West Poland, and was wounded slightly.
She says that during long-range fighting
she had no fear. but had horror OF
crossing bayonets with the enemy.
