children. If you hear some one run
ming over the scales, either on mu-
steal instrument ur with the voice,
something good viii happen to you
through pure luck.
As to n choice of musical instru-
ments to play on, a dream-gutar,
singing at the same time, Is especially
favorable to lovers, though If you hear
some one else playing the instrument
watch out--y0u ale too susceptible.
Playing dream-gIltar Is especially
recommended to induce happiness in
the family. A banjo Is almost as good
as guitar, though If you simply hear
the banjo instead Of playing II your
self you may have some slight worries
which wlll.soon be over. A flute fore
tells birth In the family, and an or
gan is an excellent omen unless II Is a
church-organ playing a dirge. In that
case you may hear Of something that
will make you tired" or OF the death
OF relative, say the pessimlsts. The
optimists say n dream-dirge on a
dream-organ In dream.church only
means slight annoyance soon past.
The music from dream-plano is an
excellent omen-innrriage for those In
love, domestic happiness for the mar
rled and thrift and fortune for all.
The worst that ever the klll-joy ora
Giles can say about dream-music Is
that II 1t is harsh and dlscordant some
