They often are mon of thought.
philosophers and scientists. You
will find that ministers. teachers
and college professors claim a large
share of brunettes. They are stu
dents. investigators, and excel in
patient research.
Executives will find brunettes bet
ter adapted for positions where mas
terry of one thing is essential, IA Their
than where a superficial knowledge
of many ideas is required.
Statesmen in selling to a brunette
should be thorough i'll presenting the
propoSition-give him facts in every
detail
Mothers should bear in mind the
characteristics of their brunette
children if they would understand
them. See that they have an OPP
portunity to read books that will
crafty their tastes for idealistic
subjects.
You will find that brunettes are
naturally religiously inclined are
sentimental, home loving. and take
life very seriously. They do not
seek publicity, they prefer the so

than going to places of amusement,

they have to be renewed every few

pipe was so large that a seated man
could have the stem in his mouth and
rest the bowl on the ground. and one

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
not very encouraging, and indicate
that nothing out of the daily routine
should be attempted. Even this Will
REQUIRE a special amount OF concen-
tration and effort. The influences Will
lean toward Iassitude and indifter-
ence, and nothing that you or others
do. no matter how well it may be
done. will engender satisfaction. Much
of the evil OF tomorrow can be over
come by exercise of will power and a
strong determination not to- he m
fiuenced by an untoward atmosphere
In the evening quite contrary condl-
tons will prevail and it will prove
to be an excellent occasion for family
and social gatherings.
Children born tomorrow Will during
infancy enjoy exuberant health, and
viii be practically immune 10 the
ordinary ailments of childhood. The
signs denote that III their teens
they will be liable to a serious acct

should be exercised during these
years in teaching these children eau

will be attractive and winsome and
w hen they do those things that they
should not do, Will never. on being
questioned, become evaSive,' but will
tell the truth, and be willing to stand
the consequences. They will possess
artistic tastes. and these should never
be thWarted or discouraged, as they
may achieve considerable success
along these lines.
