Again sinister planetary influences

Speculation should be avoided tomor-

1t may be especially unlucky to lend
anything under this sway. which does
not encourage financial helpfulness.
Lovers, whether married or engaged,

Actors and actresses should watch

fortunate for stage and screen. Changes
Of ultimate value will affect the thea

1t is an ideal day for bestowing

New Peach Salad.

Peach salad of an unusual and de-
licious kind is made by peeling ripe
peaches for each serving, slicing them
very thin, then marinating them for an
hour in French dressing which has been
made with lemon juice in place Of vine
gar. Meanwhile shred half cupful of
celery for each peach and cut pecan
meats into small pieces, allowing one
fourth cupful for each serving. Drain
the peach slices and mix them with
the celery and nut meats. Serve IN
nests of tender lettuce leaves with a
whipped cream or any preferred salad
dressing. Garnish each serving with a
plump berry or cherry.
