HOROSCOPE.
Saturday, April -, 1915.

Mars and Venus rule strongly for
good today, while Saturn is adverse.
1t is a fortunate sway for romance.
and love affairs with soldiers are espe-
cially well directed.
Mars smiles on war and is believed
TO aid the allies and to protect their
armies while this configuration pre-
walls
1t is a most propitious rule for all
mechanicians, for steel construction
and for manufacturing that turns out
products of steel or metal.
Underneath all the signs read as con-
corning themselves with war is the
ever recurring indication OF surprise
in the way of an armistice or sudden
cessation of hostilies, which may not
be satisfactory to the allies.
These sinister signs should give
warning that the greatest unity OF
purpose and loftiest self-sacrifice
should be practiced in the United
States.
The seers again declare that Ameri-
cans dream too confidently and awak-
en- too slowly to the facts OF life.
Next month promises to be a time
Of great activity among all classes
OF persons, especially in New York,
Chicago and Washington.
Trouble with one OF the European
powers not now concerned in the war
is prognosticated in the early summer.

Little Margaret Ann was scrutfniz-

don blended. with commiseration.
I did not let her know that ! was
watching her, but to tell you the
truth. little book, dear little Margaret
Ann was amusing me more than any
one had done since the great end and
the great beginning In my life.
Her naive Joy in my baby and her
absolutely unconscious way Of telling
me she was afraid he would not grow
up as pretty" as her own tiny broth
er brought the first smile to my lips
since his birth.

Yes dear, what is it?"

when he stuck on Dickie's?" she ask
ed innocently. ...-.-.
oh, his nose Is all right" I answer.
ed as smiled at her solicitude.
You see. dear, all babies noses Iool
like buttons tucked on their faces"
answered. yours was Just like that
She looked at me incredulously, ben
over the bassinette and put her fingel
appraisingly on the queer little bi
OF flesh that was Dickie's uniformed
nose, then she walked over to a mir
ror and examined her own beautiful,
formed nose carefully.
Little book, I have seldom seen {
more beautiful child than little Mar
garet Ann. Her Irish gray eyes "pu
in with a sunsetty finger" her beau
tiful dark curly hair and a complexion
OF cream and roses, would be all tha
was necessary to make her an unus
ually lovely child even without hei
crowning beauty. a perfect mouth oi
coral line and dazzling smile thar
shows perfect teeth.
She looked at me rather doubtful!
after she had once or twice glanced
from the baby to herself and then sh,
asked:
You are not funning with me, ar,
you, Aunt Margie?"
mo, dear; I really think the patterr
for babies noses Is a little round but
ton, but you see from your own tha
they turn out all right"
"oh, 1 am so glad. I've been awful,

thusiastic applause after each group
OF songs with an encore, sometimes
several. before the delighted audi
ence would allow the program to
be continued.
The program was we'll balanced
and gave Mr.. Mccormack every Op-
portunity to show to advantage the
voice. particularly the clear high
tones which brought forth storms
of applause.
Mr.. Polah is very well liked by
the Washington audiences, having
been well received on each appear
ance here and found an excellent
musician. He plays with a great
deal of expression and there is q
fine quality to his tone. which, how
ever. is bit fiat at times.
His numbers were all good and
he rose to fine climaXes. which were
well appreciated by the audience.
He was very liberal with his en-
cores. which were of a particularly
pleasing variety.
