sport skirt. SO; three shirt waists. $2o
winter suit $50; coat. $50; three pairs gloves $1O
party dress $50 furs. $50; miscellaneous. $40.
Some items are probably averaged over several
years Furs. for instance good probably cost good
deal than the above allowance. but they are
seldom renewed oftener than once in four years or

HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY. S. 1918.


Until late today the influences are
sinister since Mars, the sun, Venus
and Uranus are all adverse. In the
afternoon Jupiter is in benefc as
pect.
1t is read that some army condi-
ton Will on this day cause enXiety
TO some one in the place of the sun,
or, in other words high in authority.
Deception or at least hidden mo-
tives will be revealed i'm some mat
ter of supreme moment connected
with the war.
Under this rule women are like
ly to create a sensation by a move
ment toward reform that is preced-
ed by much suspicion and discuss
ion.
Uranus has a sway now believed
to make it easy for spies and traitors
TO operate, since it causes vigilance
TO be relaxed where it should be
most sharply exercised.
Questions of finance come much
to the front in the next few weeks.
Scandals in legal and philanthropic
matters are indicated.
Should the war operations in
which the United States is concern
ed begin early in the spring with
great activity, the seers declare the
end will COME some time in 1918.
According to prophecies, part of
which have been fulfilled, the peace
talk of the late fall and early win
ter marked point of real POSSIBLE
ity not made apparent to the allies.
Occulists hold that it forcshadow-
ed what will be realized a year later.
All the planets seem to presage
/ what has been foretold for three
years. that a new order Of things
Will be established in every govern
ment in the world, including, the
United States, which Will emerge
from the war with old customs, OBJ
sol5tc and radical reforms substi-
tuted. most of the successful expert
ments with the civilian population
becoming permanent institutions.
Persons whose birthdate il is may
have rather an anxious year in bust
ness. They should avoid disputes of
every sort.
Children born on this day may be
rather quick-tempered and self-wilI-
ed. These subjects of Aquarius are
often too artistic and temperamental
TO succeed in business.
