It is read as especially fortunate for women and their interests. There is a forbidding sign for be- ginnings of every sort and first nights in the theatre may be disap- pointing, although both stage and screen are to have a season of ex- | traordinary success. This should be favorable for ro- mance. First meetings with persons »f opposite sex should be promising n future possibilities. Engagements to marry made un- hould be lucky and preface happiness. True impressions iue to clear mental vision are gen- eral while this configuration con- tinues. This is a promising day for jour- on the water and for travel for asure. Many notable visitors will come to the United States. Industry is subject to adverse as- pects that may affect commerce. Ser- icus labor difficulties may interfere with manufacturing enterprises.
