LIFE AND CHARACTER READING
December a.

On this date the person who is
born will partake of the influ-
ences of both Sagittarius and
Capricorn. This is known as the
cusp, and the natives as a rule,
are very much happier than
those born entirely in Capricorn.
The genial Jupiter outwits for
a few days the sombre Saturn,
and the warmth of Sagittarius
acts like a charm upon this last
earth sign.
Children Of this date, who have
great universal love in their little
hearts always single out the lame,
halt or blind for especial atten-
ton. A colored child or a dirty
child is not obnoxious to these
kiddies.
The birthstone is still tur-
quoise and should be worn al
ways.
