ing. If one could have a say
in the matter, it would therefore be as
well to choose some other time. Pisces
is pre-eminentIy 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
consultations of service and leadership.
Typical Pisces individuals are noted
for two traits: First, an overwhelming
desire to serve and help others; next, a
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
housekeepers. Eleanor Kirk says of
them:
THE women are wavering and un-
certain in all their actions. They lose
their belongings and mislay those of
other people. They drop things and for
so superlatively careless in household
matters that even their sweet and help
full dispositions cannot make up for the
trouble they create in a well 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

reason they should train themselves to
be careful of money as well as to be
methodical and punctual in their hab-

so much money to spend as Pisces men,
but they spend themselves instead.
wear themselves to the bone trying to
help others; for service is the charac-
teristic of this sign. Pisces people. es-
pecially the women, are painfully lack

themselves At the same time many Of
these sweet tempered, yielding, self sac
rificing women manifest a curious neg
ative obstinacy which may be COM
pared to a piece of putty thrown
against the side of house. 1t just
sticks there till somebody picks it up
bodily and carries it away. Like the
water element in which the fishes of
their constellation swim, Pisces people
are very placid and even in their tenn

not often. Except for their sIackness and
a observation-disclosures which cause them to
be trying at times, they are particular

Pisces subjects are eminently prac-
teal and not given greatly to visions
and dreams. In theology they are usu-
ally orthodox, and the strange negative
obstinacy already mentioned, which
really comes from their deep, natural
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
things. Consequently they are emf
nently conservative. Old fogies not a
few are found in this sign, yet when
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 mo-
bIest. sweetest, most useful of human
beings. CLARA BRANSCOMBE.
