II widowhood overtakes nei seconu
time will Mrs. Dick again become
bride? Very probably yes. And II she
does, you may be sure it will be man
older than herself and one OF education,
refinement and great financial ability
who Will lead her to the altar. That her
husband will be a man OF such a type
has been ordained from the beginning
and you cannot fail TO note how closely
both Colonel Astor and Mr.. Dick have
conformed to these astral requirements
One most interesting fact revealed by
my study OF the stars is that the fates
Of Madeleine Force have been closely
intertwined with those Of William K.
Dick since their early childhood. Indeed,
only a most unusual combination OF cir
cumstances prevented his becoming her
first husband instead Of Colonel Astor.
Mr. Dick began to press his suit very
soon after the charming young widow
out for long time il me- with little o.
no favor Not until the second week OF
last April did the stars smile on il suf-
hciently 10 make an engagement possible.

Titanic crashed into the giant iceberg.
The influence OF Saturn, as astrologers
we'll know, has the habit OF repeating
itself at regular intervals. and there is
good reason TO believe that this will be
the case with Mrs. Dicks life. That it
has already begun to show its evil force
again is shown by her mothers oppCsi-
ton 70 her last marriage and by the
embarrassing postponement of the cere-
mony at Bar Harbor.
Is this an indication that tragedy will
mar the second romance as it did the
first? There seems little doubt OF it.
But as 10 when this will occur the mes
sage of the stars is not so clear. Very
probably it may come in 1918 or 1919.
when Mrs. Dicks fate passes under the
malevolent influence OF the same Saturn
that ruled it il me memorable years Of
1911 and 1912
The probability OF the repetition Of
a similarly gloomy picture on the screen
OF Fate is made ali the stronger by the
fact that the second wedding day was
ruled by exactly the same astral con6i-
lions which governed The first. The
menace. however. may be avoided. or at
least neu;ralized. provided Mrs Dick
proves strong enough TO resist the pow
erful lure the sea has for her.

ment is said to have been made to their
families and intimate friends a few days
later.l
Despite the closeness with which the
fates OF this bride and bridegroom has
for years been joined. the stars give little
promise of marital felicity This LACE
will be que to the antipathies Of relatives
by marriage rather than to their own
incompatibility.
AS regards children, Mrs. Dick will be
fortunate. The first offspring Of this
second marriage will be a girl. to be borr
next April, and there is every prospect
that a second daughter will follow.
Jupiter assures Mrs. Dick OF wealth
beyond the ordinary, but she will not be
able to retain il without serious legal
difficulties. These. the stars indicate.
will be the result OF malevolent infu-
ences which held sway at the tine
Colonel Astor made his will
Pleasant influences surround the first
few months Of Madeleine Forces second
married term. although there is risk OF
an automobile or railway accident near
the close OF August or early September.
In fact, she can never travel without
more or less danger, and this is always
heightened when she is proceeding in a
westerly direction.
From the closing months Of 1913 TO
the latter part OF 1920-this, the stars
say. is the most ominous period in Mrs.
Dicks whole life. Then must she beware
lest she and her family be overtaken by
a fate as appalling as that which wrecked
her first romance.

that in which Madeleine Force
Astor the rich and beautiful young widow
Of Colonel John Jacob Astor, became the
wife of William K. Dick. the Brooklyn
millionaire
This interest is only natural, in view
Of the brides wealth and social position,
and of the publicity she received through
the tragic ending which came to her first
romance when the steamship Titanic
went down And it acquires added zest
from the fact that to claim her childhood
sweetheart for her second husband she
has had to sacrifice a large part of the
wealth which came to her at Colonel
Astor's death
Then. too, her second marriage has
reen beset with difficulties so similar to
those hich her first encountered as 10
constitute most remarkable coincidence.
Her first marriage was solemnized
in defiance of the laws of the church.
Bishops and priests of all the leading
denominations refused to sanction it on
account of Colonel Astors previous
divorce. As result the wedding had to
b. postponed from day TO DAY while
nationwide search was made for a clergy
man careless enough Of the opinion of
the church 10 perform the ceremony.
- The path that has led Mrs. Astor TO
the altar a second time was only a little
less difficult 1t is said that her mother
strongly opposed the marriage 10 Mr..
Dick. holding that the stern terms of
Colonel Astors viii imposed altogether
too high a price to pay for even so rich
and in every way desirable husband
Better a lifelong widowhood than TO
sacrifice the wealth and social prestige
your marriage to Colonel Astor brought
This was the burden of the argument
with which the ambitious mother assaileG
her daughter But Mrs. AstOr's heart
was too surely won and Mrs. Force finally
had to give her reluctant consent to the
marriage.
This time there was no ground for
opposition on the part of the church.
Mrs. Astor, with painful recollectons of
the unpleasantness which had marred
her first wedding day. superintended the
arrangements for the second ceremony
herself aud fonjly hoped that it would
go of without a hitch. She mad reckoned.
however. without due consideration for
