JOHN-A-DREAMS

Harll now and I will tell you of the
common are dreams that bring us in
contact with the wet element that
they form considerable portion of
our night visions. In fact. their sig
nificance is such that the interpreted
lions refer to nearly every phase of
everyday life. One of the most
beautiful and happy dreams takes the
sleeper to the sea shore, and while
tho eye watches the white-cappsd
breakers the ear drinks in the oceans
mellow voices.
The waves are full OF whispers wild
and sweet;
They call to me-incessantly. :
Wild and sweet indeed, for these
sights and sounds presage happiness
in love. Whether old or young, man
or woman, the bliss of hearts ease is
the dreamer's lot for the time being
Should a storm arise, whipping up
the oceans waters, d misunderstand
ing will mar the sweet experience,
but the interruption will not last.
If you have seen river in your
dream, recall, as you awaken,
whether it's water was clear or
current was swift, means that you are
being carried by the force of circum-
stances towards events which will
demand quick decision on your part
and the dream urges you on, not to
hesitate, but to act with inflexible
determination. If the water is muddy
you are being warned that your eff
forts to solve the most important
problem which confronts you at the
time are wrong and that nothing
short of complete change in your
methods will lead to the better
results you seek.
If you are swimming and your
stroke remains strong, the one of op-
posite sex towards whom your heart
inclines will remain true to you, even
though suspicious or deceptive cir
cumstances may have created doubts
in your mind about his or her loyalty.
But IL you seem in danger of drown
ing youN may well make up your
mind that no manner of sacrifice or
devotion will ever suffice to make
the heart of your loved one com
pletely yours.
If man sees a small river gliding
swiftly along, this signifies that he
will soon marry a pretty maiden, and
if the dreamer is a married man, that
his wife loves him better than he
knows. and that he should reward
her affections with great devotion.
To a maiden this dream portends
that the man who is destined to make
her happy will soon ask her to be
his wife, and to a married woman,
that her husband will love her better
and more as time goes on. Such a
river
knows the way to sea:
Without a pilot 1t runs and falls,
Blessing all lands with its charity.
If you dream that river runs
right through your room, battling.
mystifying, frightening event will
soon come into your life. You must
be prepared for the unexpected. you
must steel your nerves to a bear
shock:
o. River darkling River, Gliding on.
on.
Thine is a mystery that never rests
Even while the living slumber.
In general way. to dream of
water refers to unexpected domestic
events. To see a bath, signifies
guests. To take one, slight Illness.

But told her that what was good
enough for her was good enough for
the wife of the President of the
United States-and-excuse me-cer-

no matter how fine she is. So
