HOROSCOPE

Good and evil stars contend today,
according to astrology. While Mer-
curry, Neptune, Mars and the Sun are
in benefic aspect Uranus, Jupiter and
Saturn are adverse.
During this planetary government
the mind is likely to be disturbed
and unsettled, because of the con-
trary influences.
This should be a favorable day for
writing letters or for literary work
of any sort.
1t is a time for visiting friends,
especially those that may be of serv-
Ice in ambitious projects.
Young folk will find that attention
paid to their elders while this con-
f~iguration prevails will be well
worth while.
During this sway there should be
much profit at summer resorts. This
Is a lucky day for short journeys or
outings of any sort.
Again Uranus and Saturn rule with
evil portent that seems to bode
anxiety for rulers of every sort. All
who represent the head of govern
ment may expect to be the target for
unkind criticism.
Members of congress will proba-
NY pdfldke OF the puDllC Q~lSpledSure
for there will be a tendency to find
fault, eve where there is no cause
for dissatisfaction.
Saturn is in a place that promises
much interest in colonization
schemes of every sort. Back to the
land movements will be fought,
probably, and will be subjected to
suspicion, but they will win success
where they are honestly managed.
The weather at this time is likely
to be exceedingly oppressive and
facilitating. The aged will suffer.
Despite efforts at economy in gov
eminent expenses, there will be a
great increase that cannot be avoid
ed, the eer prophesy, and this will
probably be in the line of coast de-
lenses or military preparations.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should not speculate or risk money.
The year may be rather unsettled,
but it will be wise to avoid changes.
Children born on this day may be
serious. ambitious and inclined to
be extravagant. These subjects of

After all, about the only way to

your wits against theirs and meet
a trick with a trick. So when

q little feeling of relief.
I was sorry she had spoken as she
did. 1t upset me. Little by little all
these old friends of mine, all these
Did associations, were closing in
lround me, were undermining my
deals.
Suppose 1 should adopt their Gym

then? Suppose / should begin to

I had been so sure love was every

the. question was coming into my
mind more and more insistently-did

Sometimes l looked at Win imper-
sonally, wondering about him. In
the evenings we sat on the porch
sometimes, more often in the little
living room where Win read the
papers and I read or sewed. I could
see his profile when 1 glanced up.
He was and he wasn't handsome.
His skin had been wonderfully clear
and alive when 1 first knew him, but
the days indoors at the office and the
evenings and nights indoors and in
badly ventilated, overheated places,
had affected him as 1t had affected
me.

"Oh. I feel all right, 1 always

twist to his shoulders.

and ever, but as she might look at
some perfect stranger, some doubt
full person on whom she bends a
critical eye.
The man who looks up to meet
that sudden inspection should take
care. For it may be the direct break
between happiness and a gradually
growing misery.
But Win never looked up. He
went On reading.
He had an irregular profile, not a
bad one. His hair was nice in the
way it went back from his forehead,
his chin was not strong, though it
was we'll shaped, it was decidedly
weak looking. His mouth-it could
be tender as I well knew. 1t could
be hard too-and then he looked like
his mother. His nice grayish eyes
would have redeemed a face far less
attractive than his, but I could not
see the eyes now.

netism of my gaze.
