HOROSCOPE.
Monday, November s, 1917.

~
This is a threatening day. according
to astrologers, who find Jupiter. Nep-
tune and Saturn strongly adverse,
while Mars is slightly friendly.
1t is a day in which to take a sec
ond thought before investing money
2nd there is a sign showing the be-
ginning of seye;e financial pressure on
persons of every class.
Toward the south. to Latin-Amer-
lea, attention CT residents of the
United States will turn strongly in
the next few weeks.
Warning is given of treachery on the
part of some nation processing friend
illness with the United States.
Saturn bodies evil today and 1t may
come through men past middle age.
Generals and naval commanders
should be exceedingly cautious.
The malefic planet seems to indi-
cate the growth of some bad habit
that will be imported into the coun-
try and take the place of dissipation
through alcoholic drinks.
w this connection danger through
hypnotism is also indicated. Powers
of suggestion will he developed and
misused.
Increase in disasters to British war
slips will alarm the allies this month
in an unexpected manner.
liars gives Iromise of promotions
and benefits to soldiers, but has sin
lister influence indicating arrogance
and egotism on the rart of officers,
especially those who are young and
inexperienced.
Mars now in Virgo will afflict Tur-
key in a grievous degree and the grad
uul disintegration Of the government
Is foretold. ...
Warning is given that there will be
a great scandal that will be uncov-
cred in a hospital or through the
Medical Corps of the army.
There is a sign presaging increase
IN aviation accidents, but this may
merely indicate that the number of

not speculate, quarrel or go to law,
in the coming year, for II they do they
7ill be very unlucky.

FOR THE YOUNG DAUGHTER.

When the American daughter reaches
the teen age" there is a furry in
the family circle and a disturbance in
the family purse-presaging its deep
ening depression as young daughter
grows In marriageability. The excite
ment is due to the realization that 1t
is time to make daughter an accom-
plished girl.
Father is all for commonsense home
training in cooking and sewing. but
mother knows such staples, of educa-
ton have little publicity value.
Now comes a New York art critic
explaining to mothers that a bit of
! training in the sense of color would
! double their daughters success as
home makers.
| Louis Weinberg, art lecturer of New
| York University. says most women's
knowledge of art Is so limited that
they think OF color in such terms as
blue, red and green rather than as
values of blues, reds. and greens.
Color has a definite drawing pow
er, so why shouldn't the daughter of
the house study its uses? If a girl
llearned something about color she
would have made a better homemak-
er."

money / could make my home beauti-
full too
Now that is all wrong" declares
Weinberg. Art is possible for every
one. II a woman would only realize
that she Is the artist and her own
home and her own person are her
canvases, she could work wonders.
| There is no reason why she should
take the word of a decorator or paint
er about her house or her dress. Let
her do with what she has.
Usually removing things from the
rooms, rather than adding, makes an
, improvement.
Assembling colors, not mixing
! them, requires color judgment, and
! this comes only with training. Every
child in school should learn the prin-
ciplcs of color"
