LIFE AND CHARACTER

October IS.


People born on this date com un-
der the cusp OF Libra-Scorpin. This
IA a peculiarly hard cusp? Libra is
said to rule the abdominal regions.
and scorpio the general organs. and
the focusing Of these influences upon
one part OF the body is very difficult

to bear.
Teachers should see that children
OF this date have an open mind and
are illuminated through their own
natural bent of genius and origi-

should always be permitted TO have
their own way when not entirely

The governing planet OF this date
is still Venus, the goddess OF love.
The birthstone Is a diamond or opal,
although the opal is to be preferred.
The astral colors are black, crimson

MANS UNCoMFoRT-
ABLE FOOTWEAR

The mystery as to why modern men
wear those awful looking socks is
partly explained by history. The
BabyIonians. as we'll as the ancient
Hebrews, wore articles known as
breeches, and in order to save time and
trouble the breeches were heightened
so as to make the use of stockings I'M
necessary. In the fifth century Rome,
England and France adopted the
breaches, but by the ninth century and
during both the dark and middle ages.
cloth became SO scarce that the foot
part was left off and the feet covered
with straws. Finally short stockings
were used because breeches legs
reached below the knee-and there you
have the secret. In the modern period
long stockings were finally adopted by
the men. but during the French Revo-
luton. and the accompanying wars all
over the world, the scarcity of mate
rails and money once more brought
back the unsightly socks-and here we
are suffering from them today.
