Among the red faces in the world today none ghould have a more ruddy glow than that of Senator Borah. Less than a month ago, when President Roosevelt called in Senatorial leaders to explain the need of a new neutrality law, the Idaho lion had words with the chief executive. He said that he had private information from abroad that there would be no war in Europe, warnings of the State Depart- ment to the contrary.

HEART AND HOME: Under this sway warm friendship between both sexes may develop. This is a fortu- nate date to invite strangers to the home, for thus angels may be entertained unawares. Wemen will find this a good time to start club programs or plans for public work. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Caution is enjoined against risks. Workers may be easily influenced by unfriendly competitors. Speculation will tempt many, sudden fortunes may be made |before the new year, but the slow but sure method of acquiring wealth is recommended.
