Real Love Stories.
In Accordance with Maxsie'x Dream

In Accordance with Maggie'k Dream.
1t was my misfortune several
years ago to be iE, a hospital for
two months. Time passed slowly
until i made the acquaintance Of
another patient who proved to be
more than congenial as the days
passed by. Among her daily Wis
itors-we even shared our callers
was charming young girl who my
friend explained was engaged to
her son. I happened to be wear
ing a diamond at the same time. so
it was only natural that 1 was much
interested in, their love affair and
its development.
Bob, the son. was with the Amer
ican troops in France at the time.
From his letters, little iEcidents in
his life that the mother related.
and the interest others displayed
in him ii was easy for me to
imagine what an ideal sort of a
chap he must be. Up to. that time
his life had been apparently one of
sacrifice. He had given up school
early that he might work and make
life easier for his mother ard the
younger children.
After war was declared he en-
listed and was sent almost at once
to France. The savings from his
small monthly check were divided
equally between his mother ard
Margie. "the girl" The whole fam
lily fairly radIated love, and. already
Margie seemed to be one of them
1t was she who paid the doctor for
the operation when the mother was
puzzling how it could be managed
paid. too, with the money Bob
had sent her and which she had
hoped some day to use ir her own
home. In the same unselfish way
she cared for the younger children
during the mothers absence.
One morning she burst into our
room beamirg. A letter had just
come from Bob telling her he was
on his way home and wanted to
marry her as soon as he reached
New York.
And can you imagine, mother.
she exclaimed. only last night 1
dreamed that he fell ir love with a
nurse and never married me at ALL
Both laughed at the impossibility
OF such a situation and began at
once to make plans for the future
In due time Bob arrived in New
York. but wrote that he was beire
sent to hospital in the East to
itake treatments for concussion
deafness The minute he could
leave he would be home. and then
Two weeks passed full of anxiety
or his part to be with the family
ana Margfe. Then came a week
with no news-another, and. then
the blow!- He came home bringing
bride with him, a nurse he had
met at the hospital.
Margie was crushed Ny heart
weLt out to her. Perhaps the. BRIDE
deserved some sympathy, too, for
she went into a home filled with
resentment instead of love.
Bob had changed. the mother told
me, and had fortified himself with
such wall of reserve that ques-
tions and explanations seemed Inn
possible. Only once had he broken
down, she explained, and then to
exciaim, 20, mother, why didn't
they let me come straight home."

the mother or Margie has given as
much thought to that dream as /

Venus rules this day in benefc
aspect. Saturn and the Sun are
friendly. but Uranus is adverse.
1t is a sway especially favorable
to women ard their plans. In busi-
ness as well as love they should
benefit greatly today
Warming is given that the len

Inclined to make ill-advised mar
risges.
One of the strange signs of the
times is seen in the sentiment. of
women past middle-age. the seers
poit out. and their susceptibility to
young men. They should remember
that the stars often disturb the
mental balance.
This is one of the rules most
profitable to theaters and it is fore
cast that there will be great activ-
ity among managers.
California will benefit greatly
from this sway of Venus which
makes for the development of all
artistic movements within the state.
Chicago is to have a period of
great musical awakening and will
gain new fame as center for
artistic progress, if the stars are
read Alright.
The total eclipse Of the Sun which
will take place September 81 falls
in the third decan of Virgo and
is read as menacing to world af-
fairs.
Poets and painters and all who
live by their talents are likely to
be affected by this sinister phenom-
enon.
Warning is given that foodstuffs
will be higher and there may be
serious crop failure.
Australia is to suffer more than
other parts of the world as a ter
rible drought is foretold.
Pesons whose birthdate 1t is

Children born on this day will
probably have many strange adven-
lures in life. In business affairs
both boys and girls should be very
fortunate.

Mabel Gray rented a room from

One afternoon some one went "up
in MabePs room" and broke open
her trunk. The Mason family was
accused and their arrest threat

According to Daisy's story, Mabel
chased her around the room with a
razor and threatened to murder her.
Two policemen said they saw Ma

scene.
Mabel denied all this. She said
Daisy's husband got after her with
the razor and she disarmed him.
The court believed her story and
