BORN today, you have talent for the written word. Your powers

of observation are keen; your memory for detail exceptional; and your ability to dramatise the average, ordinary things of life is outstanding. You also have perseverance and the ability to take pains. All these characteristics add up to an individual who, thould make good in a literary career, wherein, as someone once said: It's one-tenth inspiration and nine-tenths perspiration.'

Your reasoning powers are sharp and you can usually sift through a lot of material and get down to basic motivations. Once there, you seem to know just what to do about it. Fond of the mysterious and something of a mystic, you are also practical when it comes.

doing the work that must be done! This combination is a fortunate one, for it permits you to take inspiration and turna it into realisation.

You have a wide variety of interest and should be warned against letting too many objectives enter your life all at once. A juggler makes his living by keeping half a dozen objects in the air at the same time. But that takes years of training! In youth, tackle one job, finish it and then go on to the next. Later on in life, maybe you can do the juggling dot..

Among those born on this date are: Leon Gambetta, French patriot; Charlemagne; Prince Olaf of Norway: Emile Zola, author; Nita Naldi actress; and Nicholas Murray Butler, educator:

BORN Loday, you are kindly and sympathetic to the appeals of all who approach you. It is impossible for you to see any- one suffer without doing something about it. You often make personal sacrifices which may, or may not, be necessary, Be sure that you weigh each plea carefully before acting upon it..

If you do not utilise these gifts in the field of literature, you may find that your sense of colour and form leads you to a career as an artist. You are also drawn to the stage. With an early start, you could become one of the outstanding personalities of your age in the theatre.
