is only necessary to read the writings
of those who have made a special
study of the subject, and to compare
their statements with ones own life
and that Of their friends and relatives
to become convinced that there is
much to be learned from those who
claim to be experts in regard to fore
telling the future by basing their cal
culations on the date upon which one
was born.
Probably no man has made closer
study Of the subject than "Chiero,"
palmist and clairvoyant, who most
truly remarks in his book, When
Were You Born?" that those people
who have some means at their COM
mand to learn their own characters
and the dispositions Of others must
certainly be thrice armed in the battle
Of life, and consequently more success
full than those who know nothing OF
such things"
"Chiero" says he has seen many
wicked and broken lives where, had
people possessed a slight knowledge OF
their own dispositions, they might
have been saved. And this knowledge
he endeavors to give in his book
Persons born in January, according
to "Chiero," have strong mental force,
but they are as a rule, generally mis-
understood by others. They are think
ers, reasoners and should aim for some
form of public life, for they generally
do best in such careers.
They have strange ideas Of love,
duty and social position, and for this
reason they are often considered odd,
and do not fit in easily with their
neighbors But they have warm hearts
toward suffering and as a rule give
largely to charities.
This is also characteristic Of persons
born in February. While excellent In
business and finance as general rule
they are more successful for others,
and make more money for others than
for themselves. They are usually high
strung, oversensitive and, while not de-
monstrative in affection, feel very
deeply.
Those born in March have rather pc
culiar temperaments. They are inclin-
ed to brood and become melancholy
and worry about what their future po-
sition in life may be. This state OF
mind is, Think" said "Chiero" large
L., hai,. oil n
ing dependent on others more than
from any love Of money" Many ar
lists, musicians and literary people are
born in March, but they must receive
announcement to make the best Of
themselves.
The main characteristics Of those
born in April are strong will power
and great obstinacy Of purpose. They
are born fighters; they have also the
greatest ability as organizers, on
large scale, such as in the formation Of
big schemes or as the heads Of big
business. But they have their disad-
vantages in life, for as a rule they are
unhappy in their marriages. They
rarely meet members Of the opposite
sex who understand them.
Sincerity is the keynote Of persons
born in May. II they love they are gen.
erous to the last degree and will con-
slider no sacrifice too great for the
person they care for. If they are ene-
mics they will fight with the most de-
termined obstinacy to the death. But
they always fight in the open, for they
hate thickness, double dealing or de-
ceit. At the same time neither men nor
women born in May should marry ear
ly, their first marriage being usually a
mistake.
OF all it appears those born in June
are the most difficult to understand. In
temperament they are hot and cold al
most at the same moment. They make
clever actors, lawyers lecturers and a
certain class of public speakers-all
those who play changing role in
life's drama; but If endowed with un-
usually strong will power, and If they
can force themselves to stick to one
thing, then they generally make bril-
liant successes Of whatever they un-
dertake in any sphere Of life.
Persons born in July usually are
restless in disposition and have con-
slant longing for travel and change.
They always are making homes and
rarely keeping them. Inclined to spec
ulate and make money quickly in all
CANDLES, they generally lose, whereas
in business they are as a rule, most
successful. With their employer they
never shirk work or the putting for
ward Of his interests.
Great soldiers. leaders in finance.
and public men often are born in Au-
gust. The main characteristics Of peo-
pie whose birth month this is are sym
pathy and generosity, although some
what impetuous and quick tempered.
They make enemies through their
frankness and straightforwardness,
and have tendency to get terribly de-
ceived and in the end become bitter,
severe and overcritical.
Those born in September usually
make good literary critics, being quick
to see the weak points, while at the
same time they are rapid readers and
endowed with wonderful memories. In
the execution of almost anything they
set their minds on they generally sue
ceed.
A varied career is usually the por-
ton of persons born in October. They
aften are successful as spectators or
gamblers, but have little regard for
money. Large numbers Of them seem
to drift naturally into the study Of the
law. and in it they generally make a
name as lawyers, barristers or judges.
In marriages. however, they are sell
dom happy, for in affection they ap-
pear to weigh matters too much.
Curious are the characteristics of
those born in November. for up to 20
years Of age they usually are extreme
ly pureminded, virtuous and religious,
but once their nature is aroused they
are often found in swing in the oppo-
site direction. They have great mag
