Heart and Home: Women are un- der a variable direction of the stars and should make the most of the early hours when their minds should be: keenly alert. This is mot| a lucky date for signing contracts, and is unpromising for artistic pur- suits. ‘Housewives will benefit by making their work beautiful through their love for order and harmony.

Business Affairs: Notwithstanding the expansion of big business un- der preparedness contracts, small enterprises should be successful. In towns and villages humble shop- keepers will profit, it is forecast. Women are to contribute much to prosperity as they take over work usually performed by men.

D. uniforms for the big Armistice Day dance to be given by the American Legion at the A. B. Hall on November 11. Plans were perfected to make this dance, the second annual, one of the greatest in the history of the city.

Mann; two members of the Post Executive Committee, Harold F. Dawes and Homer G. Nordling; Post Officer of the Day, Ralph G. Martin; Post Officer of the Guard, Andrew Berntsen. Mrs. Thomas McMullen, wife of the proprietor of the Merchants’ Cafe, was returning here on the steamer Spokane. She had been visiting in the south for several weeks. J. F. Holder, Chief Electrician of the U. S. Naval Radio Service, with his desk at the Gastineau Hotel, was to leave for Bremerton on the Spokane to receive his discharge. F. A. Rapp, who had been at Speel River for several days, returned to Juneau.
