THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday. January IA.

Although friendly stars dominate
tomorrow, according to astrology
there are adverse influences.
Early in the morning it is we'll to
avoid giving way to irritability and
the inclination to look on the dark
side of things.
and even quarrels while the mind is
representative, as it is apt to be I'M
der this sway.
This is a lucky day for starting
journeys and it is good if water is
crossed at the beginning.
Intuition should be keen under this
direction of the stars, which prevents
deception from being successful.
There should be the sort of quick
ened imagination tomorrow which is
particularly helpful to writer's or
speakers.
Trading of any sort should be for
tunate under this rule, which gives
foresight and wise decision.
The financial world is to be af-
fected by the eclipse, the seers pre-
dict, as great fluctuations in the
markets and in national currenCies
will occur.
Persons whose birth date it is
should avoid all new ventures in the
coming year.
Children born tomorrow should
have fair chance in life and they
are likely to become the heirs to
comfortable estates.

| The drinks came, emerald green in

Peggy slipped hers slowly, and after
a moment, she returned to the subject
/ they had been discussing, as Mark
| had hoped she would.
You're Bunny's guardian, aren't
| you?"
Mark grinned. I'm afraid I am.

Mark slipped his cordial in an at

Peggy went on talking.
Il never knew her because she was

Again Peggy colored holly.

Of the details" Mark said very evenly
"As / remember" Peggy offered
Mrs Towuley obtained the divorce on
the GROUNDS of nonsupport. But there
was a lot of talk about Ray being in
tcrested in another woman"
Mark did not betray any signs Of
surprise save that his eyebrows lifted
slightly. And then because he wanted
to put her entirely at her ease he said
lightly:
Were probably borrowing lot of
trouble, don't you think so? AS you
say, the talk at that time may have
been exaggerated, and then, too
there's nothing definite between
Bunny and Raymond ToWnley."
Il know, but that's just the point
I'm afraid there will be. I've never

and as the waiter was lowering near

for his check, paid it, and ushered
Peggy out to a taXicab

Peggy was enchanted The subject of
Bunny and Raymond Townley was
not renewed that evening. perhaps
because each of them thought that
enough had been said. But Mark was
genuinely worried. Not only that, but
he was irritated. He wanted to settle
his own affairs and he had no idea
how long he would be detained in this
matter of looking out for Bunny. Be
sides, he had no reason to believe that
she would listen to his advice any
way. He bad an idea that she might
laugh if he attempted to interfere
with her. And what was he going to
do then?
