HORN today, you will demand independent Initiative and action, which fortunately, does not restrict your ability to co-operate realistically with others. You have tact and diplomady_and know how to make people like you and do what you want. This aspect of leadership is very apt to bring you to an early success. In addition, you have that "sixth" sense that seems to give you the ablity to outguess others and recognise the exact mêment to act advantageously.

There is another side to your nature which does not come to the surface as often. This is your kindly, sympathetic interest in others who are less fortunate than you are. If you have money -and the chances are excellent that you will-you will want to help them. Fond of travel, you will probably, visit many of the far places of the earth.

'You have strong lies of kin and are happlest when in the midst of your own family group. Attractive to members of the opposite sex, you will be most content if you wed early and havé a family of your own to love and pamper?

Among those born on this date are: Dorothy Thompson and Florence Marryat, authors; Eliás Hove, inventer, Charles Downing, horticulturist; William Polk, staterman; S. L. Rothafel (Roxy), theatre manager.
