The Interesting Fortune Predicted
for the Titanic Widow9? Second Son
His Misfortunes in Love, His
Struggles for Supremacy,
His Triumph at'Last Over
The Horoscope of Baby Dick.
By Professor Sothnos Lctillicr.
Pf HERE occurred on Wednesday, April
11. a birth fraught with important
future- consequcnccs to this country.
That afternoon a baby boy was born to Mrs.
Madeleine Force Dick, the widow of C'otoncl
John .Jacob Antor, who was one of the not
able victims of the Titanic disaster on April
15, 1912.
Here. in begin, was a most curious and in
teresting condition. Mrs. Dick's second son
was given her on practically the samf date
that hrr first husband was taken from her.
What say the stars as to the meaning of this
eoineidence ?

fortune in his own ripht?one
that cannot ho taken away from
him as his mother's fortune was
taken from her when she decided
to leave the tents of the Astors
for that of her new husband.
The l)i<ks are estimable, well
born, moderately wealthy folk,
but no one will pretend that they
rank with Astors in ihe curious
lists of American aristocracy.
Indeed, little John Jacob, when
be grows up. will he able to enter
and he welcomed through doors
fhat hi? own mother will not be
{able to pass.
i And this will be equally true
of little half-brother Dick, just
[born. There will be a household
lin which one boy will have great
wealth, the liiphest social position, entree
everywhere, quite like a royal prince. And
side by side with him will be his little
spot her. not rich, comparatively, and ccr
ainly w ith none of the Astor social rights.
What will come from all this? What do the
stars say?
The staj-.s say that from this combination
if John .Jacob Astor and his hall' brother
will be created the future financial rulers of
America. They say that without the othcr
?ach would be more or less ineffective. Hut

first, let us consider the horoscope?an
extraordinary one. Let me explain that th"
licridian of the figure given herewith rep
?esents the "line of fire," or the avenue
hrough which the ego reincarnates. It re

and these two in combination constitute the
Mierocosmie Cvoss.
The venerable Saturn frowns down from
the apex of this figure, not so much with
"malice prepense" as a criterion of the old
pr soulhood of this child. This child comes
from a Whenceward that would .justify a
lively senRp of awe. Could one but peep be
hind the veil to a very distant scone of pre
vious earth activity one might see him
elothed in vestments of consecrated service
as philosopher or priest, ascetic or recluse,
treading the ways of counsel and meditation.
Hoav this priestly atmosphere, sweeping out
of an Oriental past, will bc clarified by con
tact with modern civilization is what makes
the horoscope of the little son of Mr. and
Mrs. Dick of such unusual interest.
Curiously, loo. are the liv^s of ^'incent

a l'atc which also threatens Vincent Astor.
Young Dick will be precocious and will ma

indeed not; a third, marital experience is de
noted. In this respect he makes amends for
the monastic or celibate predilections of his
former existence.

mother, though not necessarily identical as

Saturn heroin airain registers against her as
it did ;i few years haek in its premoi.ishment

child's horoscope this unpleasant augury

way of a very critical illness, in which her

both his Sun and Moon come into affliction

menaces the future of the halt'-hrothers. The

of the man to whom she has plighted her
self, she will realize her mistake. There will
be a dramatic and dangerous situation be

own spirit will solve the problem for them

At the age of twenty-eight he and his
brother have already become powers in the
financial world of America. They are now
rlcstined to come into sharp conflict with the
