Monday, August S, 1918.

The Sun rules strongly for good to-
day, but Mercury and Saturn are ad-
verse.
The rule is most ausplcious for per-
sons bearing large responsibilities, but
there may be some new anxieties.
1t is a sway promising to those
who seek recognition or promotion.
While the Sun is in benefic aspect
1t is lucky time to look for employ

Office seekers and men in political
life should make the most OF this

Vacancies in high places will in
crease In number as the autumn ap-
proaches.
The seers declare that Scotland. HoI-
land, Switzerland and the West In
dies will have q favorable time for
trade and commerce.
This il an unfortunate day for
signing important papers Of any sort.
Contracts and leases should not oe
made during this rule.
There is q likely sign for the giving
OF presents today. IL they be practicsl
and useful.
During this month conservation will
take new forms In the United States
end the subject OF waste probably will
be much discussed.
Clersymen are subject to a planetary
guidance making for broader views
and new lines OF service. Many will
win honors by heroism in war.
Persons whose birthdste Il is have
rather a forbidding sign. They should
be very discreet in dealing with others
and should avoid litigation.

The military theme would seem
to be altogether absent from Paris

of. war in any OF these garments
except in the Wellington chapeau,
which is not modern war gear.
Nevertheless. the war actually dom
mates them all-the colors are
mostly black and white, the ma
terials are sparingly used. Even
the apparently elaborate robe

which the shears have shaped
quickly into an elegant contour.
This indifference to the French

The highest rank in the woman's
army belongs to the homemaker.
The war has proved TO woman
that she has considerably more to
do than simply to play at the game
of amusing man.

about love being all of life makes,

Doubtless the women have learn

home from the trenches are not
particularly refreshed by the sight
Of their wives and sweethearts
wearing the modes Of Mars. Nor does
the soldier on leave crave gaudiness,
neither does he find pleasure In
fripperies.
He comes back wanting most the
things which are sane and quiet and
wholesome and sweet, needing most
a proof that beauty has not perishei

And SO French fashion rewards
him with q glimpse of the eternal

A plan to honor the soldiers who
have gone to war from various COM
munities is presented by the National
Committes Of Patriotic Societies in a
letter sent to mayors Of cities and

space enough to carry the names OF
all those who are enrolled In the na-
tons military forces for that COM
munity. This standard may be sur
mounted by the city seal. q bronze
tablet with an appropriate tribute,
or the national colors. Opposite each
name on the honor roll there should
be placed the usual service star.
In the event of, the death Of a, SOL

q golden one. at which time q brief
memorial service may be held.
Places will be provided also for re-

OPERA
Co. MAY ERECT
NEW YORK HOME

When the Chicago Opera Company
returns to New York for a lengthy
season next winter the performances
will probably bo given in a new thea
ter OF its own on Broadway in the
Columbus circle district. Herbert NJ.
Johnson, business controller OF the
Campanini forces, is understood to
have signed contracts last week pro-
vtding for the erection OF a theater
seating about 1000 persons. No Of
fetal statement OF the arrangements
was made, but It has been known for
months that Mr.. Campanini purposes
to enter the New York opera field.
IF we return Galli-Curci will come
with us" Campanini said. "as will
Mary Garden, Lucien Muratore, Rosa
Raisa, and Riccardo Stracciari. We
shall make a number OF revivals OF no.
table French operas and offer some
new ones that will interest. We will

From a financial, as well as an ar.
tistic standpoint, the four weeks in
Nsslon OF New YORK by the ChicagoanS
was highly gratifying to the guaran-
tors. 1t is estimated that the total
receipts for the performances of
twenty operas and several repetitions
aggregated $1,000

There was not a profit on the tour,
but the loss was trifling compared TO
what had been predicted. The deficit.

$4,000, which is considered money
well spent
The war tax, the Governments clos

other circumstances made the cost of
the tour about as much greater in

it into its head to make a reappear-

to say:
DO you people realize how import

And they say that the goat. not be-

pected, went of with evident signs
Of disgust at the lack Of appreeia-

was almost driven frantic by hearing
a litter from the audience, which he
thought might refer to something he
had done or something regarding his

saw that the big stage cat, to which
he had given evidence OF his affection,
had come out and was, with arched
tail, rubbing itself up against his legs.
Then he did the unfortunate thing.
