HOROSCOPE.
Wednesday, May 20, 1915.

Mars rules strongly for good early
in the morning. according to astrol-
ogy, but Saturn and Venus are in evil
place.
There is a fortunate sign for the
army and for all military activities
during this rule of the stars.
Mars gives promise of success for
engineers. maChinists and all who
have TO do with steel and iron.
Saturn gives warning that many
men and women past middle age
will die before the end of the sum-
mer and that among these an Un-
usually large proportion Of those who
have won fame will be numbered.
1t is not a favorable time for we'd
dings or social entertainments. AS

warning OF sinister omen.

ties women buy should. be exceed
ingly careful, as they ore likely sud-

condition of public consciousness.
Love affairs come under a sinister
direction today, when the middle
aged may be led to commit follies and
the young to cause tragedies.
Theaters are not well governed un-
der this conhguration, which pre-
sages disappointment and loss of

Today. as I always do. I read some
more of Dicks manuscript.
"Margie," he said, did it ever come
to you that the reason women think
they are SO badly used is because they
nurse their troubles"
l really had never thought of that.
but 1 believe that most of US do; that
we are nursing animals, we women.
We nurse our pride, our feelings. our
conventions. our griefs, our ailments,
why, little book. We even nurse our
prejudices.
But 1 am afraid that most Of US
prefer to bring love up on a bottle. i"
said Annie. witt:ly, to me once when
l quoted the above remark from some
thing that Mrs. Selwyn had said to
me.
Love-" she said. "is so much great
er than the individual and we women
almost always try to make a slave
of it."
I thought of this again because OF
something that Dick had written.
"Margie, to a man love always means
joy, pleasure. and when after mar
riage he finds the old thrill gone. he
is very apt to look about for another
plaything. 90. $500.
You, my dear, like all other wpm-
en-, were crying that the old thrill was
lost, and spending previous time try
ing to find 1t, while !. knowing that
it could never be found again, was
content to seek another precious
thrill"
That Is 1t, Dick, dear, and isn't 1t
tragic that you have only learned this
when you wers half way through the
door that opens on the ether side of
the earth, and I should have only
found II out after you had passed
through? Because love can never
be the slave q woman would make

The Girl and the Married Man

The wife did not subscribe to these
sentiments, and fatty refused TO turn

When . woman thinks Of ioye-and

full, and sacred, and holy. She thinks
Of love as being the greatest gift that
can be bestowed upon her, something
that she will wear like a diadem upon
her brow, and proudly flaunt before
the envious eyes Of her friends, She
thinks of love as something that will
raise her UP and make her a queen.
of something that will hedge her in.
and guard and protect her. and make
her safe.
She thinks Of the man to whom she
has given her heart as being proud
Of her. of his feeling honorsd by her
selection of him, of the little joyful
air of possessipn with which he will
introduce her 10 his friends. That Is
