LAST NIGHT’S DREAMS

—WHAT THEY MEAN

DID YOU DREAM ABOUT MUSIC? TO PARAPHRASE slightly the poet: When the night is filled with muelc the . cares which Infest the day Shall fold their tenta like the Arabs and as silently steal away. For dream music, say the seers, por, tends good fortune to those who hear the phantom strains. When, through the world of the visions of night, wander harmonious melodies, happiness and money are hovering in the near future waiting for you. It doesn’t matter whether yon dream that you are producing the music yourself or tint you simply hear It —the omen Is good. Among other things It Indicates that you arte shortly to receive news of a cheerful sort about.a friend whom, for a long time, you have neither, seen nor heard from. If you are as yet unmarried and in love it is a sign that your sweetheart is kind and true —there is a wedding and happiness ahead of you. To married people it indicates good-tempered

children. If you hear some one running over the scales, either on a-mu-sical Instrument or with the voice, something good will happeq to you through pure luck. As to a choice of musical instruments to play on, a dream-guitar, singing at the same time, is especially favorable to lovers, though if you hear some one else playing the instrument watch out —you are too susceptible. Playing a dream-guitar is especially recommended to Induce happiness in the family. A banjo Is almost as good as a guitar, though if you simply hear the banjo Instead of playing it yourself you may have some slight worries which will soon be over. A flute foretells a birth in the family, and an organ Is an excellent omen unless It Is a church-organ playing a dirge. In that case you may hear of something that will "make you tired,” or of the death of a relative, say the pessimists. The optimists say a. dream-dirge on a dream-organ in a dream-church only means a slight annoyance soon past. The music from a dream-piano is an excellent omen—marriage for those In love, domestic happiness for the married and thrift and fortune for all. The worst that even the kill-joy oracles can say about dream-music Is that If It Is harsh and discordant some temporary vexations await you. (Copyright.)
