Toward her, her Mm uncle had a funny, half-brusque, half-protecting 30™® H way. the very manner of which interested and amused her. He would abruptly break off in the middle of some interesting adventure, perhaps his own mountain experience, with : “Excuse me, Niece, I must send a telegram to Adams (his foreman).

Won’t you tell me about them, too. Auntie?” The speakers were Alicia Wainwright. the in valid daughter of one of New York’s merchant princes, and her nunt, Mrs. Marian Brownell, wife of Charles Brownell, a California lumberman. Alicia had been brought up in affluence. Every advantage that great wealth can procure had been given her, coupled with the careful home training sîteaÉ î of a cultured and judicious, but somewhat too fashionable, mother. w Graduating from Vassar but one year before our tale opens, she had left college with great—though rather vague—plans for future usefulness—plans of the fin dc siecle girl, who hopes to become a worker, not a drone, in Life's arena, yet at the same time be sipping some of the honeyed sweets of society life. A short trip to Europe was followed by her % Ï} formal entrance into New York’s most exclusive set.

The Author of this book is Bhakti Seva (The Blissful Prophet), one of the Greatest Astrological Seers that the world has ever known. Read carefully the following letter from Bha.kti Seva. (The Blissful Prophet), explaining his new book of Hindu Astrology: AN OPEN LETTER TO MY FELLOW-BEINGS. By Bhakti Seva. (The Blissful Prophet), Author of The Hindu Book of Astrology. D e a r B r o t h e r s a n d S i s t e r s : For thousands of years HINDU ASTROLOGERS have, by their knowledge of the Solar System, been enabled to formulate a system of Astrology which enables them to speak with Scientific authority and certainty with respect to the Planetary influences upon mankind. Each person is born in or under one of the twelve signs of the Zodiac, and is thus influenced more or less throughout life by the Planetary conditions at the time of birth. In my new book of HINDU ASTROLOGY I give the natural tendencies of each person, and in a certain way indicate what they should do and what they should not do to make life a success. By referring to your sign in my new book of HINDU ASTROLOGY, which is indicated by the date and month when you were born, you will see what your natural tendencies are and what is the best for you to do to attract the use of unseen forces and powers, which are your birth-right and which will aid you to make your future bright. Each and every person is naturally endowed with peculiar and great powers which make for good, and also are born with tendencies which must be corrected in order that the higher and good powers and forces may be able to work to advantage. No matter how bad your lot may seem to you, and how difficult for you it is to get along in the world, you can readily change all darkness to sunshine and happiness if you will only go about it in the right way. No matter which one of the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac you were born under, you can develop into a good and successful person if you will pay strict attention to the Golden Truths printed in my new HINDU BOOK OF ASTROLOGY. Scarcely one person of the large and growinghuman family pays enough attention to questions bearing upon individual happiness, prosperity, harmony and health. This book should be read many times and carefully studied, as it contains vital truths, and points the way to perfect health, happiness and prosperity. Everyone occupies a place in the Universal Zodiac, and all our sufferings and misfortunes are due entirely to a lack of knowl edge and wisdom. Now, my sole aim in writing this HINDU BOOK OF ASTROLOGY is to wake people up out of the delu sions in which they live. I will tell YOU all—you are greater beings than you imagine you are; that your dormant or latent powers and forces are great and wonderful; that Y'OU, and YOU alone, limit yourself and suffer because you will not rouse vourself to the grand truth as laid bare by Astrology, which wise and good men have taught for thousands of yeais. May peace, joy, health, prosperity and happiness come to all my readers. I am, BIIAK 11 SE\ A (1 he Blissful Prophet).
