YOUR BIRTHDAY

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY '†

PORN today, you are highly sensitive and inclined to be impres- rionable, You seem to know the true inotivations of others and are a fine analyst of character. You are able, i first Your likes and dislikes are meeting, w judge an individual. strong, but you keep your opinions to yourself until afted for iher. You also have a keen social consciousness but may rugat- cont your crusading unkier the guise of fetion. Something of a reformer at heart, you know how to present your case for popular consumption,

Nothing around

You have a social nature and are quite gregarious. pletises you more than having a whole crowd of people with whom you can converse--even argue. -You also have a touch of gypay-toot and in youth may want to keep moving from one place to another. New experiences, you believe, are necessary for you. When you wed, be sure to select some one who enjoys the same sort of a life or there can be trouble ahead.

You have the orlistic temperament which goes along with talent and are inclined to he moody. If you find a fit of meinn- cholia coming on, make a quick change of pace. No matter what you're doing, do something different!" The change will do you a lot of good. For example, if you are studying too hard, physical exercise often will turn your mood from a sad to n glad one!
