WHAT THE STARS FORETELL

(By MARY BLAKE)

If December 22 is your birthday anniversary, you were born under the Zodiacai sign Capticorn. You probably do not get excited easily, have an analytical mind and em- ploy efficient methods in your work. Many of your ideas may be so radical that you may find your- self continuously engaged in argu- ments. You are energetic, sym- pathetic and loyal to your friends. Whatever you accomplish is usual- ly the result of hard work, for Fate seems to decree that people born on this date have to win their own rewards through earnest en- deavour. By being courageous you will always be able to overcome difficulties. You ought to have re- markable psychic powers. You are perhaps very sensitive, particular- ly regarding the treatment accord- ed to you by relatives and friends. Saturday should always prove to be an auspicious day for your per- sonal affairs. Married and engaged couples, as well as sweethearts, might do well to rémember that the Moonstone and garnet are the natal stones of those born on this date, and that the snowdrop,
