SATURDAY, DECEMBER IA, 1915

SATURDAY, DECEMBER II, 1918.
This is a day of contending influ-
| ences from the stars. While Mer-
curry is in benefic aspect early in the
morning and Jupiter is friendly late
in the evening, Neptune rules adverse
ly in the busy hours of the day.
Under this sway idle rumors and
mischievous criticism are likely to
gain credence. 1t is a rule most diff
cult to those whose motives and &C
tons may be questioned by the public.
| 1t Is not a favorable time for jour
| neys, whether by land or sea, for
storms are prognosticated.
Extraordinary weather will mark
| the next two months, and a severe
winter seems to be indicated. This
will affect California and the South
| ern States.
Good news may be expected in the
early hours today. II is held that
the newspapers may contain items of
unusual interest.
The evening should be a most au-
spicious time for dinners and ban
quets, especially where there is some
event celebrated
Much entertaining is foreshadowed
| for the holidays. since the law of ex-
/ tremes still works, and though many
may mourn more will rejoice.
Plans made under this confguration
| should mature successfully, but any
thing that transgresses the rights OF
the people will be dangerous.
| Since the United States has full
filled the prophecy that seeming mira
cles would be performed in the war
the nation will conclude its supreme
achievements by carrying its great
debt so easily that 1t is hardly felt
Again warning is given that there
may be much agitation concerning
economic conditions and that al
classes of men and women should be
educated in the principles of democ-
racy.
The death of famous woman Is
prognosticated. The remainder of the
month may bring many losses to art
| literature and philanthropy.
