pny r.n. Is this your birthday? Then you are really very talented but you are timid about pressing your own advantages. Learn to make use of your gifts. But withdraw into your shell, and you will become one of the great army of "potential" successes. You have many ideas but you like to sit back and let somebody else work them out If you find yourself in an executive position, you can afford to do that.

But earlier in life it is probable you will need to do the work yourself if you are to make a real success. Don't be a dreamer alone. Be a doer as well. You are easily discouraged by criticism and should learn to steel yourself against it. You are enthusiastic at first on a new project but are apt to cool off if it is not instantly received and hailed as a masterpiece.

Be a little more patient and you will get further in the long run. You are very intuitive and learn to rely on playing your hunches. Usually they are right and this tends to give you a happy-go-lucky attitude that can be as much of a disadvantage as otherwise. Don't jis't sit around waiting for a "hunch" to start something. If you do that, you'll get nowhere! You may possibly have an early and spectacular success.

But to hold your position you will need to keep on producing something. Your temperament is even and you will walk around the block to avoid a fight, for you can talk yourself out of a spot most people have to use fists for! You have a strong feeling for home ties and it is likely that you would be happiest if you wed early in life. But select your partner with care, or it might not be lasting. Among those born on this day are: Betty Compson -ctress: John Calhoun, statesman; Grover Cleveland. U.

President; William Duer, statesman; and Francis, Lieber, educator. LEAVE FOB FLORIDA Mr. and Mrs. John W. Crotsley.

Wool dresses are liked in thin, almost sheer woolens. Sheers, both plain and mixture, are clearly indicated as the leading type, of thin wool this spring. In one important group, several models use this high-twist sheer which is praised for its anti-crush and draping quality.

It is also a cooler, more comfortable construction for later spring wear. There is a call for gray daytime fashions, according to recent reports. The gray that is wanted is tho shade that one associates with 'men's wear gray' in flannels. These grays are wanted in worsteds, often mixture worsteds, thin ones that often have a masculine look. They are in separate dresses, both in one-and two-piece expression, also in little jacket costumes, the dress a one-piece affair, the jacket trim and neat and easily fitted, and often trimmed with white pique.

The current demand is for fur scarfs that "look a lot for the money." Mountings of from three to seven skin natural or dyed baum martens also of either sable-dyed or baum marten-dyed kolinsky give the required "lot for the money" look by arrangements which place most of the fur at tho front, in criss-cross, draped or long stole designs. Very often there is only a single-skin width at the back of the neck, and that is arranged just as a neckband, from which the front fulness and draping depends. Whether one is wearing a one-piece wool dress or a suit, the fur neckpiere is just the right' note. The suit sketched or any on such informal lines may be worn with a scarf but for town suits the animal scarf is tops. ARE l'UOUD PARENTS Mr.
