The stars smile on brides and
bridegrooms today, which may be
marked by an unusual number OIL
marriages joining the old and the

Women should push their bust

especially auspicious for big en-
terprises.
Farmers should benefit by today's

as well as for good crops.
Mines and miners should benefit
from this rule which seems to
promise settlement of industrial

During this rule of the stars. in

have not been thrown together.
When he tried to pay me little at
tentions, practically ignored mis-

city and returned to his home town
where he has gone in business with
his father. / would like to renew
his acquaintance and by some
means get in touch with him.
Please give me some encouraging
advice in the matter Would 1t be
