You are fundamentally pollile and know how to be all things to all people. This is not so much a lack of sincerity as it is your method of sending out trial balloons. You will agree with an idea to draw a person out, but if, after deliberation, you figure the idea is no good you quietly argue on the other side! You are a pleasant host or hostess when the mood moves you-or when you think it ir limportant.
Your mind is active and you are usually several jumps ahead of your nearest compelltor. You are basically interested in mental pureults and you have distinct talent in the arts,
In youth, there may be a battle royal to capture your interests. You might select musië as a hobby, for instance, and—after you have won economic independence cultivate your muske and become a professional, You are a person of many interests. Your life will never be a dull one.
Among those who were born on this date are: Alexander Kipnis, opera star: Clark Gable, actor; Victor Horbert, composer; Langston Hughes, poel; and Admiral David Porter, naval hero.

THE GIRL WHO LIKED SPACE
A 13-year-old French schoolgirl living in Rabat, Morocco, has re- ceived this letter from one of Russia's top-rocket scientists:

"That is exactly what hap- pened! Naturally I played low from dummy."
"Naturally." I agreed. "Next came the ace of spades and then the deuce of clubs, East won with his king and returned the jack of spades. West ruffed Curtains!"
I must say that the unlucky expert was really unlucky this time. West's opening lead borders on the sensational and no one can blame the unlucky expert for assuming that he had 16d from some sort of queen- fack combination.
Of course, the unlucky expert might have played the king anyway but surely his best chance was to hope that East would hold Gingleton doubleton ace.
