HOROSCOPE,

Venus dominates this day with

Saturn is adverse.
II is q sway peculiarly favorable
for women who should make the
most Of business and social oppor-

Good luck attends weddings today
unless a young woman weds a man
much older than herself. and on
such a union Saturn frowns with
sinister intent.
Meetings for the FIRST time between
men and women should be especially
fortunate. whether they be in the
course of business or in friendly en-
yironment.
All the signs appear TO presage an
upheaval in England that is of Sc
rious consequence TO the govern
ment. The King and Queen are both
under the guidance OF sinister stars.
A famous British statesman will
die within the next few weeks and
there will be much mortality among
the nobility.
