 ' DREAM-TREES.

 h lady who writes that once a

N EtuN who "TllcS that once a A> month at least, she dreams of fruit. At times she sees it glistening on weighted boughs. at others she eats of it and not infrequently she offers it to friends. These are strange drca ms indeed, and because the writ CT failed to tell mo of the incident which accompanied her sleep eXperi- enCes, l will try to answer her ques- tion by giving her merely the mean ing of various fruits as l believe to know them.
 Speaking generally. to dream of fruit in season, means good luck, out of season. ill fortune. A heap of mixed fruits usually means joy and gain. To leave it untouched, is a sign that you are growing undecided in the more important affairs of your life and the dream contains the ad- monition to approach your problems in a firmer way than has been your habit of late. To eat fruit offered you by man is a sign that someone loves you dearly. but is too timid to | tell you of his affection. If a woman offers you fruit and you eat it, you will be a victim of deception. If you throw it way you will have trouble | through the envy of others. If the fruit feels dry and coarse to your touch, a very unpleasant or arduous | task will be burdened upon you. In a general way the following is | the mea aning of various fruits: 1 APPLES-If you pluck them from a tree you will be persecuted. If | they are ripe and red. no matter what l you may do with them, they mean
 joyous laughter. If they are sour,
 they foreten an ugly quarrel. If you l gather them in your pockets, you will | receive a pretty gift.
 APRICOTS-To merely see them
 means a disappointment or a slight i! illness. To ent them is an excellent \ omen.
