Benefic aspects dominate through

cial enterprises. but menacing to all
forms of speculation.
There is a sign of great promise
for business enterprises and what
ever is started under this sway should
be profitable.
Bankers come under a promising
direction of the stars. which is read
as indicating identification of interests
with merchants and farmers.
While in many parts of the coun.
try farmers will reap good rewards
for the Summers labor, many will
buy grains and vegetables in the com.
ing months if the stars are rightly
read.
Astrologers foresee that the great ma.
tional problem of the future will con.
Germ the tilling of the soil in America.
Women should find this a rule rare.
ly favorable to them and to their am.
billions. This should be a lucky day
for shopping.
Happy days may be counted on by
those who wed while this conhgura.
ton prevails.
This is an auspicious day for meet
ing new friends, especially those Of
the opposite sex. for romances start
readily under this sway.
Children born on that day probably
will be endowed with more than aver.
age talents. Body as well as mind
is likely to be far above ordinary.

Since Thanksgiving comes soon, the
usual festive touches for Sunday din
ner have been somewhat curtailed.
There has been no attempt to intro
duce anything particularly elaborate
then into the Thanksgiving dinner
itself. After all, Thanksgiving din
ners which are most enjoyed are
those that feature simple ana more
or less standard dishes.
Such variations as serving the cram
berries either in the form OF a water
ice or jelly; the variation OF the
stufIing from chestnut to oysters or
the addition of custard dessert
should amply satisfy those who de-
mand a more elaborate meal.
Because Of the feast day, only one
vegetable meal has been introduced,
but the usual plan of serving a not
vegetable dish for the next days
luncheon has been observed. since
the ideal way to serve leftover turkey
is while 1t is fresh, the usual Friday
fish has been replaced with this. For
those who wish to observe Friday
menu, it will be quite possible to bake
together an appetizing dish of eggs
and vegetables.
The buttermilk pudding recipe we
owe to our New England friends. This
is an adaptation from one planned by
Janet Hill. These are the days for
exercising considerable ingenuity in
using canned or dried fruits. Steamed
fruit puddings make very nourish-
ing and economical dessert. When
graham flour is used, and with mod
crate quantity of shortening, such
puddings are excellent everyday sub
stitutes for rich plum pudding.
1t seems advisable to introduce it
occasionally while it is in season. The
broiled partridge is delicious served
with large oysters which have been

There is something distinctly per-

chooses. The fruits or vegetables or
meats always Seem more delectabie

Then there is invariably something
new in the stores and markets, sur

selves as one mulls around. BY the
simple process of casual exploration
about the shelves and counters much
of the monotony of the daily menu
may be avoided.

Or permit the purchase of fancy foods.

Put the pork, the onions, and the po-

are cooked, remove the dish from the
