She had grown mousy, she knew
1t. Her mirror furnished her with

tThere were wrinkles around her
neck and her hands had come to
look like hands meant for work
rather than for toying with tea cups

There had been a time when her
hair was glossy and waved softly

John had cared then, fingered
around and been c~onsiderate. She
wondered if those few physical
changes had made the difference.

unkind. She had tried so hard.
She had always kept the children

Wednesday, May 5. 1921

Venus rules this day with kindly
influences, according to astrology,
while Mercury and the Sun, also are
in beneic aspect.
The morning is a time to court IA
vor to push'business matters and to
seek appointments.
The planetary government Is es-
pecially lucky for the aims and am
billions of women, who are to re-
ceive many great honors from ma
tons as well as individuals.
Recognition of high achievements
on the part of one woman is to
aid all, at this time, the seers
prophesy. and there will be a wo-
man appointed to a foreign post
of supreme importance.
This should be a rarely lucky
wedding day, since it should bring
to the bride and bridegroom sub
stantial favors from relatives and
friends.
Persons married under this sway
should prosper in all their ventures
and should meet with success in
financial matters.
Need of a tremendous pouring
out of money for relief work here
at home is foreshadowed by the
stars, which indicate a disaster of
some sort, O..
Mercury, the planet that encour-
ages common sence. will be often
friendly during this month and as
t~rologers predict that the people
will greatly benefit. Even women
will change their extreme modes
of dress.
The Sun today gives encourage
ment to all who occupy high posi-
ton, since the indications are that
they will incur less criticism than
usual and will achieve high stand
ards of service
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
expect a busy year, but they should
be on their guard against the temp
tation toward foolish or even dan
gerous .
Children born on this day are
likely to be active and persevering.
These subjects of Gemini may be
inclined to waste their money and
probably will succeed most as en-
ploves.
