PM, and are conducive to pleasure
and harmony.
child born today will be imaSi-
native and creative, but rather soli-
tary in temperament
You are born with the conscious
ness of nobility if today is your birth
day. You feel yourself an excep-
tional person, unlike any other ever
born. and you wish to contribute your
own individual gift to mankind. And
really it is no small gift you could
give If you schooled your will to
do it
You are energetic and dominant,
both analytical and creative, but per-
haps the foremost faculty Of your
mind is your power of observation
Nothing escapes your attention. You
naturally observe other people, and
you can recreate their entire lives
might make. If you were to capital
ize this gift in writing, espe ecially
novels of the realistic type, you
should achieve distinction.
You have also an innate sense Of
rhythm. You walk and think more or
less in measure. and you cannot make
simple gesture without grace
You are fond Of art and music, and
you undoubtedly have a talent for
the latter that is we'll worth culti-
waiting.
You are particularly fond Of people,
and you are continually being disap-
pointed in them. The older you grow
the less you will depend upon others
for your companionship. Anyhow
you are naturally your own best
friend and always your own best
audience.
Your mind is ingenious and in
ventive. but extremely impractical
and subject to the Grant fancies of
your moods.
You are an enigmatical and melan-
choly figure. fated to lead a solitary
but engrossing life

He met Wu's troops outside the great

took place not far from Shanhaik wan,

buzzing about the tables of the place,
