HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, JULY 21. 1917.

Astrologers read this as rather a
lucky day. although Jupiter is
strongly adverse. Venus, Mars and
the sun are in benehc aspect.
II is a day in which TO push all
business affairs. especially those OF
great importance ard those that
are dependent on the good will OF
persons of supreme influence.
The influences are good for the
seeking Of positions or appointments
Of any sort.
The stars that promise much 10
those who make serious quest for
employment also seem 10 foreshad-
ow many scandals and libel suits
some OF which are due 10 jealousy.
Women today should be fortu.
nate. for while the planets presage
tears for them, the indications are
that they will smile through the
tears.
II is a favorable direction for sol
diers. encouraging recognition and
advancement.
Dinners or meetings AT which so
cial and serious interests com bine
are under a most fortunate govern
ment today.
1t is a fairly good rule for places
Of amusement. and actors and &C
trcsses should make the most Of
their opportunities under this con
figuration.
Fame in the army will come to
more than one American known in
the theatrical world.
Hotel keepers should find this a
profitable day. making for much &C
tivity and many guests.
II is an auspicious sway for brief
trips and for family reunions.
Warning is given that owing 10
reflex influences tendency toward
melancholy and dependency will
be marked in the coming weeks.
London astrologers foresee misun
derstandings between the United
States and England over military
problems.
Persons whose birthdate il is will
have a reasonably prosperous year,
if they do not travel or make any
business changes.
Children born on this day will
probably be favorites with the oppo-
site sex. These subjects Of Cancer
