now sights, places and peoplo-is so much a part of your nature that you will find it dificult to settle down in any one place for very long.

You have a rare combination of Intuition and analytical common sense, and when you put these two qualities to work, you rarely fail to gain your point. You have a quick wit and a sharp tongue.

Among those born on this date were: Jules Verne, author; John Ruskin, essayist; General William Tecumseh Sherman, Union Army general; Richard Watson Gilder, poet and editor; and Lana Turner, actress.
