tors. Wiiuam a. Dick. Astrology Declares That tho Malevolent Astral Influences Which Beset Both Her Marriages with Difficulties and Widowed Her On Her First Honeymoon Will Leave Further Marks on Her Lire. By Prof. Sothnos LetilHer, the Famous Astrologer.

F HV romances have ever attracted more widespread interest than that in which Madeleine Force Astor, the rich and beautiful young widow of Colonel John Jhod Astor, became the wife of William K. Dick, the IJrooklyn millionaire. ThL interest is only natural, in view of tho bride's wealth and social position, and of tho publicity she received through the tragic ending which came to her firii romance when the steamship Titanic uent down. And it acquires added zest from the fact that to claim her childhoo-1 sweetheart for her second husband sho l as had to sacrifice a lare part of the wealth which came to her at Colonel A? tor's death. Then, too, her second marriage has teen b,3",t uith difficulties so similar to tho.e ;;jcli her first encountered as to cons: !..:: a most remarkable coincidence. Her first marriage was solemnized In defiance of the laws of the church. Iii.-hops and priests of all the leading denomination refused to sanction it oa account of Colonel Astor's previous divorce. As a result the wedding had to b postponed from day to diy while a nation-wide search was made for a clergyman careless enough of the opinion of the church to perform the ceremony. ijThe p-th that has led Mrs. Astor to the altar a second time was only a little leS3 dirficult. It is said that her mother strongly opposed the marriage to Mr. Dick, holding that the stern terms of Colonel Astor's will imposed altogether too high a price to pay for even .co rich end in every way desirable a husband. "Ilettrr a lifelong widowhood than to sacrifice the wealth and social presiii;.? your marriage to Colonel Astor brought." Thi was the burden of the argument with which the ambitious mother assailed her daughter. I Jut Mrs. Astor's heart was too surely won and Mrs. Force finally had to give her reluctant consent to the marriage. This time thern was no cround for opposition on the part of the church. Mrs. Astor, with painful recollections of the unpleasantness which had marred her first wedding day, superintended the arrangements for the second ceremony herself and fondly hoped that it would go off without a hitch. She nad reckoned, however, without due consideration for - ... - . n- i a

the laws of the State of Maine, and, consequently, the date had to be postponed, to the great embarrassment and inconvenience of all concerned. Even those who are not accustomed to paying much heed to such things cannot help being struck with the remarkable coincidence furnished by the difficulties which beset Madeleine Force's path to, the altar each tlmo she treads it. What is the significance of thl3 strange similarity of circumstances? Can it mean that this second romance is likely to end as dismally as the first did? That is what I have asked the stars to teil. No more convincing proof of the valuo of astrology could be asked than that which is revealed by a study of the stars that rule Mrs. Dick. They point so clearly and convincingly to all the important things which have already befallen her that we may well accept with confidence their message regarding what the future holds in store. Mrs. Dick's horoscope presents a curious interweaving of good and evil influences, which are destined to repeat themselves over and over again. Fach seven or eight years in her life brings a crisis which will make for the greatest happiness or unhappiness. The stars show that her fourteenth year was as eventful for a girl of that age as the year 1911-1912 was for the woman of twentyone, who, within nine months married one of America's richest men, became a widow, narrowly missed death herself in a great ocean disaster, and soon after was blessed with her first child. In two or three years from now he may look for a series of events that will have an even more marked influence on her fate. The oriental section of Mrs. Dick's chart discloses Jupiter beneficent and smiling, but in the west sits Saturn, sinister and forbidding. The latter posited in the marriage house has already played a significant part in her life. It has given and it has taken away; it has led her lntc pleasant places and given her glimpses of an alluring future; but in the far distant years it reflects only forbidding drab3 and grays that finally become hopeless black. Her first marriage came particularly under the domination of Saturn. It was th influence of this unfavorable planet which interposed all the difficulties in the way cf her union to Colonel Astor. ii . r t . r-

::M Remarkable Parall

William K. Dick a Man of a Type Very Similar to the Late Col. Astor, and, According to Astrology, the Only Kind of Man Col. Astor's Widow Could Possibly Marry. On tho day she was married at Newport. In 1911, the malignant Saturn was Just stealing above the horizon and Uranus occupied the house that rules ocean voyages, in evil square to Venu3. ruler o? the scheme and in opposition to Neptune, the ruler of the sea. This menacing combination foreshadowed the tragic end of the romance that came the following April in the icy waters of the Atlantic. Further promise of this trip to Europe and its unhappy termination could have been plainly seen in the evil aspect of the Moon with Neptune and in the fact of Uranus being in the house of foreign journeys. In fact, if the stars have any advice that Mrs. Dick should heed more than any other, it is that travel, whether on land or water, must always be fraught with the greatest peril both for herself and for those nearest and dearest to her. Another portent of Saturn in the marriage house is unequivocally that of widowhood. In the case of Mrs. Dick's first marriage it was borne out with startling quickness, because the directional moon crept nearer and nearer the point of evil augury and reached it at exactly for the hour when the ill-fated Titanic crashed into the giant iceberg. The influence of Saturn, as astrologers well know, has the habit of repeating itself at regular intervals, and there is gocd reason to believe that this will be the case with Mrs. Dick's life. That it has already begun to show its evil fore again is shown by her mother's opposition to her last marriage and by the embarrassing postponement of the ceremony at Bar Harbor. Is this an indication that tragedy will mar the second romance as it did the first? There seems little doubt of it. But as to when this- will occur the message of the stars is not so clear. Very probably it may come in 191S or 1919, when Mrs. Dick's fate passes under the malevolent influence of the same Saturn that ruled it in tht memorable years of 1911 and 1912. The probability of the repetition of( a similarly gloomy picture on the screei. of Fate 13- mads all the stronger by the fact that the second wedding day was . ruled by eiactiy tht same astral condl-

Very probably yes: " And if she does, you may be sure it will be a man older than herself and one of education, refinement and great financial ability who will lead her to th altar. That her husband will be a man of such a type has been ordained from the beginning, and you cannot fail to note how closely both Colonel Astor and Mr. Dick have conformed to these astral requirements. One most Interesting fact revealed by my study of the stars is that the fates of Madeleine Force have been closely Intertwined with those of William K. Dick since their early childhood. Indeed, only a most unusual combination eff circumstances prevented his becoming her first husband instead of Colonel Astor.

Ap automobile or railway accident threatens Mrs. Dick late in August or early in September. url. Announcement of their engLement lä said to have been made to their families and Intimate friends a few cays later. Despite the closeness with which th fates of this bride and bridegroom harb for years been joined, the stars give little promise of marital felicity. This lac' will be due to the antipathies of relatives by marriage rather than to their own incompatibility. As regards children, Mrs. Dick will b fortunate. The first offspring pf this second marriage will be a girl, to be born next April, and there is every prospect that a second daughter will follow. Jupiter assures Mrs. Dick of wealtL beyond the ordinary, but she will not be able to retain it without serious logal difficulties. These, tho stars indicatt, will be the result of malevolent influences which held sway at the timn Colonel Astor made his will. Pleasant influences surround the first few montas of Madeleine Force's second married term, although there is risk of an automobile or railway accident near the close of August or early September. In fact, she can never travel without more or less danger, and this Is always heightened when he is proceeding in a westerly direction. From the closing months of 1318 to the latter part of 1920 this, the stars say. is tte most ominous period ia Mrs Dick's whole life. Then must she beware lest she and her family be overtaken by a fate a3 appalling as that which wrecked iesi sne ana ner iamny De overtaken u Ler first romance.
