PORN today, literature and the arts probably will appeal to you most as a life work. You are perfectionist and can always be counted upon to produce only the best results, no matter what tusk is given you. Happiest when working for yourself, you chould strike out for yourself at the earliest possible moment. You are an individualist and are not likely to conform to any given pattern: You will carve out your own!
You have a ne memory and are able to catalogue your knowledge and put it away in the proper pigeon-hole for use later when you need it. You are a great reader and will want to have a library of your own so that you may browse at your cwn will. Independent and self-reliant, you would starve rather than depend upon another for help. You might find that a spirit of co-operation, used at times with your natural, tact, will get you further, faster, This is an era when "team work" is more admired than Individually and to conforn, is. to win half the battle-of success.
If this appears to you to be too much of a concession for material success, then be content with less wealth-permitting yourself the enjoyment of holding tost to your ideals. In this direction may lie your true greatness, whereas conformity may bring little but material success and an inner discontent.
You are affectionate, yet not demonstrative. Bu! your loyailles are strung and your marriage should be a happy and contented one, Keep an eye out for October 13. It could prove to be the happiest day of your Hfe!
Among those born on this date were: Luis Joliet, explorer; H. G. Wells and Herman Bernstein, authors; Edmund Gosse, noted critle: Matthew W. White, Jr., editor; and Clarence Dill and Henry L., Stimson, statesmen.
