There will also be sensed great responsiveness, and such condi tlons always augur well for lovers. Children born tomorrow are, accord Ing to the signs, destined to suffer ! sderably from the ailments that are usually assoclated with infancy. This, however, need cause no alarm, as, with well regulated alimentation and plenty 8 fresh air, they will outgrow all their early disabilities and attain normal physical condition long before they reach their teens. In character they will be determined, but not stub- born. They will possess very affec- tionate natures. but will be rather slow in giving their emotions any out- ward display. They will be fairly studlous, have the happy knack of making friends quickly and will both give and inspire loyalty If tomorrow is vour hirthday vou lack all sense of humor and take, yourself as well as others altogether seriousiy Th makes you, at 1ather 1 too times, person.

There is work involved in the making, but there is also the opportunity to put to good use a motley array of fine fabrics in such articles. Other Suggestions. So ornate is the present time lingerie that nothing seems to be with ut some form of intricate trimming or of combining of materials. The needlewoman can embroider tiny motifs on yokes and sleeves, and use ribbon to match for running through insertion, and make beautiful lingerie for a trifling amount. The woman who crochets can make the lace for trimming or the insertion introduced and so have fine lingerie at a modest sum.

The face ex- rather long nose and promi- tip. There is a receding forehead, and in vouth the lower part of the face is inclined to be oval. except where square bones are present. It also produces a high, arched chest, bright active eyes, quick motion and lively gestures. Such persons are pioneers, and ac- tive workers in all walks of life. The world's fighters are of this class. Physically they are characterized by large bones and joints, hard muscles, rugged and angular frames, broad shoulders, deep chests and flat ab- domens. Pioneers, discoverers, warriors, ora- tors and aggressive people in thought and action, the world over, will be found wighin this class. This causes them to excel in pioneering and geo- graphical discovery, and in all pur: sults where great activity and con- stant motion are required. Enjoy @ rare, natural beanty!
