 AA ly have to work for their liv-
 ing. If one could have say in the matter, it would therefore be as well to choose some other time. Pisces is pre-eminently the constellation of service and of use. Though Pisces sub jectS usually must earn their own mon- ey. and help others. many noted persons have appeared under this sign. One of them. is Colonel w. F. Cody, Buffalo Bill. the famous. daring ex-govern- ment scout. General Washington was born exactly on the cusp between Pisces. and Aries, feet and head, and thus was equally poised between the constellations of service and leadership.
 Typical Pisces individuals are noted for two traits: First, an oVerwhelmins desire to serve and help others; next. carelessness, forgetfulness and absent mindedness in the matter of small de- tails. They are apt to be extremely unmethodical and procrastinatory in their tasks. Women belonging to Pisces are consequently not always good 11ousekeepers. Eleanor Kirk says of them:
 'The women are wavering and fun- certain in all their actions. They lose their belongings and mislay those of other people. They drop things and for get to pick them up and sometimes are so superlatively careless in household matters that even their sweet and help- ful dispositions cannot make up for the trouble they create in a we'll ordered household. These are the people who kick up mats and rugs and never seem aware that they do not leave things ex- actly as they found them.'
 They are generous to a fault and will spend their last dollar to help or give pleasure to their friends. For this reason they should train themselves tq be careful of money as we'll as to be- methodical and punctual in their hab' it's Pisces women have not, of courses so much money to spend as Pisces men, but they spend themselves insteads wear themselves to the bone trying to help others; for service is the characs teristic of this sign. Pisces people, es- pecially the women, are painfully lack ing iE self esteem and in confidence in themselves. At the same time many of these sweet tempered, yielding, self sac- riflcing women manifest a curious neG- ative obstinacy which may be com- pared to Q piece of putty thrown against the side of a house. It just sticks there till somebody picks it up l bodily and carries it away. Like the water element in which the fishes of l their constellation swim, Pisces people 1 are very placid and even in their tenn peranaent except when reused, and that ls not often. Except for their slachness and I absentmindedness which cause them to be trying at times. they are particular I ly "easy to get along with" It is not 1 well, however, for Piscians to marry ire sign people, Aries, Leo or Sagitta- rius subjects. The soulmate of him or i her of the constellation of the Fishes viii more likely be found among earth sign folk, especially Virgo and Capri- corn.
 Pisces subjects are eminently prac- tical and not given greatly to visions and dreams. Tn theology they are usu- ally orthodox, and the strange negative 1 obstinaey, already mentioned, which really comes from their deep, natural 1 loyalty, makes them cling to their faith almost to the, point of bigotry- They like to rest on the easy going current of the established order of l things. Consequently they are emi- nently conservative. Old fogies not a few are found in this sign. yet when 1 they correct the faults here outlined and stop trying to do everything for everybody and let other peoples tubs alone Pisces people are among the no- plest. sweetest, most useful of human J beings.
