NOUR small white bios- thorny shrub! Why should such meagre bloom attract atten- tion?

The bossoms appeared on the Glastonbury Thorn in Washington, D. C., during the visit of Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Eliza- beth) of England, thus confirming the legend that the thorn blossoms at Christmas and "when king passes by." Although the Washington Thorn is only a cutting planted near St Alban's school in 1900 Henry by the Right Rev. Gates Satterlee, it seems to follow the legendary put- tern of its

SATURDAY, MARCH 31

BORN today, you have great natural talents but are a rather restless soul and find it difficult to settle down to any single objective. You must learn that concentration is important in this highly competitive world and through study work comes pro- fielency and specialisation which is important to your future. Although you are good at detail work, you much prefer handling largo-scale affairs in which you can see large-scale results. You are apt to get impatient if the progress is too slow. You enjoy seeing your ideas expand and become fact without too much delay. You have a deep feeling for the arts and, no doubt, will be happiest if your work is connected with art, literature or music, You have exceptional talent and as with everything else only need concentrated effort to make a real success of all your enterprises. Your home probably will reflect your love of beauty and harmony,

You have a great deal of personal charm and magnetism. I is likely that you will have more than one romance in your life before you settle down wedded life. It is also possible that you will wed more than once.

Among those born on this date are: John La Farge, sculptor; Joseph Haydn, composer; Rene Descartes, philosopher; Edward Fitzgerald, author; William M. Hunt and Gilbert W. Gaul, artists; Victor Varconi, actor; John Hayes Hammond, engineer; and Popo Plus XI.
