Although the Sun is in benefic aspect

trology, sinister stars rule later, for
Neptune, Mars and Mercury are all ad-
verse.
1t is a sway in which to seek po-
sitions or appointments, IL there is no
element of uncertainty concerning quail

profitable, since Neptune is in an aspect
that encourages captious criticism.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
avoid new enterprises and should not

are employees should have prosperous

Children born on this day should not
attempt business on their own account
as they are likely to be too artistic to
succeed. These subjects of Aries usually
are very talented.

As Mrs. Hooper proceeded with the
weekly wash she went over in her mind
the things she had noted IN her inspec-
tion yesterday in the matter Of what
new things they would need in house
equipment for tie spring. There were
several articles that they really needed
besides the much-coveted electric wash
Ing machine, but since she had decided
TO concentrate on saving for that she
knew that the purchase OF anything else
would have to be a matter Of careful
consideration. She had decided TO foregq
the new cretonne slip covers for the chairs
and couch IN the living room, which she
had been promising herself for a long
time. Fresh new tape bindings would
help to brighten them up and they would
