TUESDAY, DEC. 1e.

There are definite and unmistakable testimonies of all manner of fortunate and propitious activities to be read from this days planetary confgurations. There is the prospect of opportunity for an important change or journey, which may be almost revolutionary in its benefits, since it springs from the friendly aspects of Uranus. the radical. both by lunar and solar transit. and Is fortified by excellent Mars and Jupiter positions.

 The favorite color is a soft shade of brown in kid or suede. There are all the nut shades, from beige to dark brown. Black is always the good old standby for fur coats and white for evening wear. For day time wear washable doeskin gloves are often worn.

T OR long, tense minute after my
 call to Claire Foster through her
 closed door there was no answer, furtive little rustlings, and I guessed that the girl was making some czick change either in her room or her cloth ing before greeting me.
 Then her door swung wide, and she stood framed in the doorway, 8 pitfful travesty of the snartly-gowned in souciant ultra-modern girl whom I re- membered- True, the kimona wrapped around her was both costly and beauti- ful. but Claire Foster had beeT2 distinctly the poppy. tweed-coated, sport-skirted and bloused type of girl.
 I could not have visua1ized her in a kfInona. Although her bobbed hair with its natural wave was freshly brushedI reflected that it took but a second or two to reduce it to order-she had not had time to remove all traces of the rouge and powder she must have hastily applied, and I guessed that underneath the cosmetics, which the glowing girl of the summer before never had needed, there was a pallor she did not wish me to see
 She was qufck-wttted enough to play up to me, as had known she would when I called her name through the door. We never had addressed each other by anything save the formal Mrs Graham and Miss Foster" but she promptly responded to my use of her first name with an exuberant little cry.
 t'Oh, Madgei How dear of you to come to me so soon! I've had the most hectic time"

She put out her hand, pulled me past her into the room, swung the door to securely behind me and spoke in a tone so Iifeless, so changed from the tone she had just used that I started in amaze rnent.
 That was the way you wished me to play up, wasn't it? If was too familiar, pray forgive me"
 Sine stood a few paces from me. stiff, almost bristiing, as if she were an ami nal at bay. Her eyes were as full of life as her voice was devoid of it, and they gazed at me with a defiance that was sure was only Q mask for far differ ent emotions
 You did just exactly what wished YOU to do," I said in the rnatter-of- fact tones would have used to a pupil, when, in my teaching days, I had had occasion to commend a task performed And now, tell me about your arm and shoulder.

HORSE MARKET
Boston, Jan. o4.-The horse trade
was not as active as in the preceding
week, and western shippers to the
Boston market lost money on their
consignments for the week. Buyers
were in attendance at the sales from
all the New England states. but they
were mostly dealers buying for re-
selling. and out to buy as low as pos
sible. so that bids were backward,
and the green horses sold at a lower
range. There was some retail trade,
however at which prices were better.
Supplies of green horses were fairly
heavy, but not quite as many car
IO30S were received as expected. III
seconds supplies were rather light
and prices held at the previous range.
Good quality green western draft
ers. 1850 to 1900 lbs sold at $2506350.
with few selling at the top price; me-
dunn weight green drafters, 1900 to
100 lbs at s175@225; wagon horses,
1900 to 400 lbs at $150G 200: good ac-
climated horses. 1900 to 1900 lbs at
$125M225: ordinary seconds at s25G100.
j. c. Keith sold at his Brighton
stables. four carloads of green west
erns. and there was also about 40
head of seconds. The sale was quiet,
with the life of the preceding weeks
sale gone. Prices averaged lower on
all the green horses. This week there
