sequently, the date had 10 be postponed,
TO the great embarrassment and incon-
venience of all concerned.
Even those who are not accustomed to
paying much heed to such things cannot
help being struck with the remarkable
coincidence furnished by the difficulties
which beset Madeleine Forces path to
the altar each time she treads 1t. What
is the significance OF this strange similar
ity of circumstances? Can 1t mean that
this second romance is likely to end as
dismally as the first did? That is what
! have asked the stars 10 tell.
No more convincing proof of the value
of astrology could be asked than that
which is revealed by study of the stars
that rule Mrs Dick They point so clearly
and convincingly to all the important
things which have already befallen her
that we may we'll accept with confidence
their message regarding what the future
holds in store.
Mrs Dicks horoscope presents a
curious Intervening of good and evil in
fuences, which are destined to repeat
themselves over and over again. Each
seven or eight years in her life brings a
crisis which will make for the greatest
happiness or unhappiness. The stars
show that her fourteenth year was as
eventful for a girl OF that age as the year
1911-1912 was for the woman OF twenty
one. who, within nine months married one
OF Americas richest men, became
widow. narrowly missed death herself in
a great ocean disaster. and soon after was
blessed with her first child. In two or
three years from now she may look for
a series of events that will have an
even more marked influence on her fate.
The oriental section of Mrs. Dicks chart
discloses Jupiter benefcent and smiling.
but in the west sits Saturn, sinister and
forbidding. The latter posted IN the
marriage house has already played sig
nificant part in her life. it has given and
it has taken away; it has led her into
pleasant places and given her glimpses Of
an alluring future; but in the far dis
tant years it reflects only forbidding
drabs and grays that finally become hope
less black.
Her first marriage came particularly
under the domination Of Saturn. It was
the influence OF this unfavorable planet
which interpOsed all the difficulties il
the way Of her union TO Colonel Aston

New York, May 12-Dun's Review of
Trade for the week ending tomorrow
will say:
Nothing has developed to prevent con-
tinuance of the remarkable activities and
unprecedented achievements in the busi-
ness world. International uncertainties
still cause hesitancy In the securities
market, but productive enterprise re-
mains unaffected and labor troubles are
less disturbing.
THE most gratifying feature Of the
situation, as II has been for sometime, is
the absence of excuses and general
avoidance OF overextension in all legiti-
mate enterprises.
This affords the best assurance of
sustained economic progress. While pres
sure of new demands has clearly sub
sided in certain important hnes, spe-
cial causes are not needed to account
for some abatement after months Of
extraordinary buying.
There is not a mill or plant of any
size in any of the leading Industries that
is not covered by contracts well ahead,
and the untitled tonnage Of the principal
steel interest at the end Of April not
only surpassed all records, but was lSe
per cent greater than on the same date
last year.

although the attempt was without any
far-reaching significance in reference to
the potency Of restraining factors which
might readily come into play.
The dealings were very largely profess
sionaI with some manifestations Of a
modest public response. Operations
branched from one department Of the list
to another, and from group to group,
and had very much the appearance OF
experiments to disclose the existence OF
a short account and the fact that bear

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Commerce and Industry Continue to Move Along to Contn
ued Tune Of Prosperity Bradstreets Reports -Dun's
Sees Good Markets Because of Lack of Excesses

New York May 12-Bradstreets
Review of Trade for the week ending
tomorrow will say:
Commerce and industry continue
TO move along to the now familiar
tune of prosperity. Trade is active,
manufacturers are busy; collections
are satisfactory, money is easy, bank
deposits are heavy, wa3n weather has
improved retail distribution. and buy
ing for fall proceeds apace.
Numerous companies say this is far
ahead of the best of previous seasons
Labor is well employed at the present
wage. The strike situation has mend
ed somewhat. The supply of railway
cars is better. Bank clearings exhibit
increases over one and two years ago.
Though there are some evidences
of prices probably having reached ze-
NTH point. many centers, particularly
in the Southwest, indicate that the
movement as regards staple goods is
upward
Expectations of heavy business next
fall and winter mingle with fears
Of short supplies of goods. Optimism
everywhere is noteworthy. and though
commodities are at a very high level
complaints are neither widespread nor
strongly voiced"

STOP MARCH FOR DEV0Tl0NS
Soldiers Halted to Light Candles at
Wayside Shrine in Stricken Coun-
try Of Montenegro.

War is not all horror and death, az
the following little story illustrates:
On Christmas eve as division OF
Hungarian Honveds marching through
the Tara district in Montenegro was
descending the serPentine road lead
ing down steeply from the mountains
the first regiment passed by little
wayside shrine of the Virgin and
child. Two men stepped suddenly
out of the ranks lighted two small
candles and placed them before the
images.
Many others followed their examples
and the number grew to probably
1000 altogether. It was dusk and
the spectacle Of the tiny flames flick
ering clear in the still wintry air was
a dramatic spectacle to behold.
So numerous were the gray worship
ers that as the space Immediately
around the shrine gave cut hundreds
Of Honveds dug their tapers into the
ground around it.
The whole snow-covered meadow on
which the shrine stood had been con-
verted into a mass Of Pickering
flames. Silently the men stood, send
ing their Christmas prayers to the
"Christkind."
Then the snow and the dark and
the slush Of the road once more swal,
lowed up the long column OF the
Black mountains invaders. - New
