What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Taurus.

The conditions tomorrow are just the
reverse of those that prevail today.
In the morning the planetary aspects
are favorable, while later on they be-
come distinctly adverse. The good
| period is necessarily so brief that not
much of constructive nature can be
accomplished. but even so. it Is a good
onportunity for clearing up any odds
and ends" left over from the day be-
fore. The adverse period is full of
danger. and much good that has hith-
erto been accomplished may be nulli-
fled. unless a very determined effort
be made to establish poise and main.
tain equilibrium. There will prevail q
marked tendency to become pessi.
mistic, and so dissatisfied with work
already done as to wish to destroy It..
1t would be, of course, harmful to
yield to any such desperate impulses,
as any such action would not only be
inexpedient, but distinctly disastrous.
Children, born tomorrow will require
very careful nourishment and vigilant
care during the early period of in
tancy. After this stage, however, Is
passed their health promises to be
normal. Their dispositions will be
| rather reserved but the many good
qualities of heart they possess will
attract many friends. Their charac.
ters Will not be dominating, nor will
theY be masterful; they will not be
amenable to punishment, but love and
affection will do for them what re-.
preston and sternness could never &C
compHsh. They do not promise to
achieve anv marked material success.
but, according to all indications, will
lead happy lives, not only securing
genuine pleasure for themselves, but
also imparting it to others.
II tomorrow is your birthday YOU

rot generous: intelligent. but not wise.
iou are victim of duty, as you see
1t, and this is about all you can see
No attempt should ever be made to
decry the doing of ones duty, but, in
your case, this, in an exaggerated
form, has created within you a mar
row mlndedness and a hardness that
are hardly compatible with happiness
or JOY. If YOU could only forget, at
times, your fnfiexible code and become
really human, even though you erred
your friends would multiply. Cordi.
ality would replace reserve and
warmth or heart would dissipate cold.
