YOUR BIRTHDAY - By STELLA
SATURDAY, MARCH 12
BORN today, you are kind and considerate although this deeply-
rooted characteristic may not show too much on the surface. You are ambitious, clever, Ülked by most people at first sight— though at Umes you appear to show signs of arrogance. You are self-confident and are a good mixer. Convinced that un idea or a product is good, you can become its super-salesman. Keep your ideals high, for your persuasiveness definitely makes you u leader, no matter in which direction you are heading!
Actually, you are not as sharp in business matters as you like to Imagine you are. Your intuitions are keen and you are more inclined to operate on Impulse or "hunches" then you ara on sound reasoning. This also operates in the realm of romance and you have need to remember that to wed in haste might, for you, mean that you would ropcut at leisure. Beware, especially, someone who might plan to wed you for some personal advantage -material wealth or help in a career-ruther than for true love.
You will be happlest if you enter the arts or the professions where you can be your own boss. You work better when you work alone-unless you can be the boss!
Among those born on this date are: Gabrielo D'Annunzio, patriot and poet: Bishop George Berkley; Thomas Buchanan head, poet; Stewart Edward White, author; and Lille Langtry,

PORN today, you have three characteristica which will go far in helping you toward success: a quick, agile and original mind; the ability to make a fast decision--and have it right; and an added capability of being able to reason out a matter lucidly and accurately when all the evidenco is in. You men and women are likely to utilise these basic talents so differently that, the surface, you may appear to differ widely.

You have a magnetle personality and charm. You also have brains, when you bother to use them!
You men, on the other hand, have a more serious, scientific bent Your social aptitudes are expressed in an interest in active politics. You speak well in pubile and are a hard, conscientious worker. You know how to dramatise an idea and win support for it.
Both of you have a love for romance and are inclined to bo quite sentimental in your personal life. Attractive to members of the opposite sex, you will have several opportunities to wed.
Among those born on this date are: William Orr, Inventor; Joseph Priestly, scientist; David Mendoza, composer; Joseph II of Germany; Einest Ingersoll, lecturer and writer; and Percival Lowell, astronomer.
