XXIL.-Close to Condolences.

Having despatched her wire to
Peggy Lewis, Nancy returned to the
sunny inglenook which was the one
cheerful spot in the bleakly impress
sive house, and opened the letter
from Major Desmond.
The moment she ran through the
conyentionally worded missiye, she
was ashamed of herself for her
qualms.
The man was a gentleman beyond
a doubt. His attentions to her were
born OF sincere admiration, and
since he thought her a widow, were
quite eminently proper for her to
receive.

ty of calling at her hotel upon his

taking her somewhere to dine and
to the theater."
Nancy did a rapid calculation
after a glance at the date line OF
mis- letter.
He would arrive in Chicago. ap-
parently. the following evening.
Orce again she decided that it
would be best to accept Edith Lang
we1's weekend invitation. Even
though DR.. LanEwell might prove
an awkward factor, he was a far
safer proposition than the impetu-
Gus major.

own course OF conduct for the next
few days.

Although there are adverse as

and the Sun are all in benehc

Neptune are in evil place.
It is a rule that promises much

should produce real literature in

This is a lucky wedding day, ac-

Banquets and social functions
should be particularly successful,
for all who have the good things

making for gayety, brilliancy and
contentment.
Again the stars may be expected
to give friendly guidance to per-
sons who seek preferment. Appli-
cants for political appointment

unless they are soldiers or medical
men.
Mars is in a threatening place
that seems to forecast blunders in
military policies in this country.
Disarmament is subject to the most
discouraging planetary conditions,
more conducive to war than to

Saturn again menaces the inter-

Mining matters and all commodi-

Neptune seems to give warning
that common sense is too scarce
