Q sq , , 1 the Idylls of the King, we find Anna Baron and Grace Euler, whose lives lie under the influence of Fanfaronade, playing the parts, respectively, of Gareth and Lynette. There are, too, some of our sisters who are destined to lead a public career, who will live in the eyes of the world, who will lead great debates, who will accomplish much needed reforms. The natal star Vocabularity of Rosalind Bernheim decrees that she shall win. renown as the first woman representative of the League of Nations, while Adelheid Kaufmann, morn under Muteness, will be noticed' as a soap-box orator, the advocate of Votes for the Women of Bio- bhoolaghahf' Marian Curtin, whose natal star is Pulchritude, will offend Venus by her superior allurements, and as 'castigation will be condemned by that goddess to collect the monthly obligations of the members of the Prag Pact for Prevention of Powder, to which Helen Perkins, Edith Wormser, and Helena Zuckermann are the delegates of paramount importance. Festive action being in the ascendancy o'n the natal days of Saidee Weiss and Vera McKnew, it is decreed that they shall respectively be the president and comptroller of the cur- rency of the P. P. P. of P., of which Louise Gordon, whose fate is controlled by Defalcation, will be the secretary of the treasury. Roberta Hawxhurst, born under the Presidency, will be the political boss of Timbuctoo. Among the eminent scholars of the future generations will be Beva Davis, whose destinies being controlled by the Terrestrial star, will become an astron- omer, and Irma Maggio and Florence Webb, on the day of whose advent into the world the Ethereal star was at its zenith, and who will explore the floor of the ocean. The guiding star, Encyclopaedic Omniscen'ce, of Grace Turner, Ver- onica Schwellinger, and Maebelle Va'n Arsdale, edicts that they will edit reviews of Mother Goose. ' Quietude decrees that Ruth Harper shall be yell leader of the convent of which Edith Cavaglia, guarded by Frivolity, will be the Mother Superior. Chris- tine Monferratos, born under Velocity of Speech, will be the matron of a Deaf and Dumb Asylum. Kiku Kimura, whose 'natal star i-s Coloratura, will be a ventril- oquist, Elizabeth Lynch, guided by Procrastination, will always be punctual, and Elsie Levy, born under the star Fierce Sparrow, will become the reckless chauf- feur of a Kiddy-Kar. The constellation Platitude decrees that Ellen Hughes will become the business manager of the Literary Indigestion, and Business Ability in conjunction with Ibsen decrees that Bernice Waterman will lead a doll's life in a Dol1's House. Erminia Laraia, Alice Bonstadt, Lucille Thomas, and Gladys Marx, whose f'ates rest in the hands of the luminary Stygia, will become widelv known as the demonstrators of the beneficent effect of the use of peroxide on the hair.

A'lllg' .Lt vflmzyn . .emi I xrnal T919 Clays H orosoopo By the gracious volition and resolution of our mistresscs, the pre-eminent and potent ladies, the Sisterhood ol' the Brainburners of the 4lBs, we have for many moons peered into the murky depths of the all-revealing tirmament, and with multitudinous mystic incantations traced the raggetty paths ol' the nictating luminaries in their midnight perambulations. After extensive perusals of the aforesaid celestial bodies we, the lineal descendants of Cassandre, princess of Troy, and of the Sybil of Cumae, havi11g been delegated our prophetic propensi- ties by Jupiter of lofty Olympus, do forecast and foretell these, the propitious and felicitous destinies of the illustrious sorority. J Hearlfen to the predestinations of the progzzosticatorsl The heavenly bodies predict that many of our sisterhood shall pursue the vocations of pedagogues, not only in this land, but also among the progeny of adventitious nations. The ascendancy of the star Terra Firma, on the natal days of Amy Achard, Edna Bingham, Eda Chichizola, Mary Cooney and Elsie Daberer, preordains that these shall be instructresses in aviation. Doris Handman, whose career is guided by Erudition, will, after spending ten. years in completing her course at the university, become the frequently blessed authoress of Hints to the Student of Civics, while Jane Silverberg, upon whose natal day Hilarity was at its zenith, will become the Preceptoress in deportment in the institution of learn.ing of the Mystic Maze township, the educational edifice which was designed by Frieda Hertzmann, whose destinies are guided by Barmicide. Theckla Maier and Mary Lillis, whose natal luminary is Frigidity, will gain wide experience as instructors to the Esquimaux in the Terpsichorean art. After infinite exertion, we have been enabled to decipher the messages of the stars and it is revealed to us that certain celestial bodies predestine some of the constituents of the Brain Burners to espouse the muse of Literature. The future career of Anita Berendsen, being determined by Apathy, we see her as the deservedly illustrious and world-renowned editor of a Foolish Questionsv column, and the natal lore of Gertrude Rosenthal decrees that she shall become the eminent creator of Fables in Slangf' far superior to those of that crude and primitive originator, George Ade. Ruth Wolfe and Elizabeth Bury being born under Caricature, will delineate the cartoon-s for the Congressional Record. The constellation, Arena, ordains that many of our Sisterhood shall win their laurels in either the limelight or the sawdust. It is predestined by the mighty powers of the ethereal universe that Roberta Dunbar, Dorothy Elliott, Marian Harris and Ruth McCurdy, being born under the star Discord, will win 'cosmo- politan celebrity as a quartette on the Orpheum Circuit and the white asteroid of Silence decrees that Lillian Goodwin and Helen Flanagan shall become famous comedians. Kathryn Morris, whose life is controlled by Acumen, is predestined to be an unusually daring rider of Latin Ponies, while Stateliness ordains that Antoinette di Nola shall inspirit the world as a clown in the same circus. On the legitimate stage we see an unusual production of the puerile fairy tales, in which Helene Vosper, born under the star of Magnitude, becomes eminent as the Giant in Jack the Giant-Killer, while Marcella Lamey, whose natal star is Diminutiveness, amuses innumerable audiences as Hop o' My Thumb.
