THE CHINA MAIL,
Colonel UP and Mr. DOWN
SATURDAY, 'FEBRUARY 16
BORN today, you have an affectionate and tender heart. You
women especially are tender, loving and compassionate. You always will be the one to help in time of need and quickly head บท osil of distress. You make fine wives and understanding nothers. You have the ability to nocept confidences and then do something constructive about them when you are asked specifle advice. You are excellent teachers, preachers and personnel directors. In fact; your personal magnotiam dhuwa irlands to you from all over the world.
for
Since you have so many of the qualifications for leadership, it is important that you develop them to the utmost for the good of all. Fond of literature and art, and with a keen sense of humour, it is ikely that you will also be something of a bookworm. You are not as netivé, physically, as you might be. As a child, you probably will prefer to sit around with ■ book instead of joining the others in potive games and sports. You also have latent capabilities in selence and might seÏvet this field of endeavour as your life work. Whatever it may be, it should be connected with Intellectual work. You are long on brains, a lille ahom, on muscle!
You have an artistle temperament and are moody. One day you will be on the heights the next, in the depths. Try to cultivate more balance If you are to weather emotional storms, You are the type to fall deeply in love at first aight. Your marriage should be an exceptionally happy one.
Among those born on this date wore: Henry Adams, historian; Katherine Cornell, actres, Ld Hung-chang, stálcaman; Ernest IL Haeckel, bioingist, Selim Palmgren, composer: Henry Watterson, moted editor; Edgar Bergen, comedinn; George E. Bimeli, sculptori and Sarah A. Dorsay, author.
