vw...---e -wig-:-ems For Tomorrow

Tl-IE week end is not particu- larly pleasant or promising, al- though some matters of major in- terest come up for discussion. This might be in connection with em- ployment. promotion or other re- lntlona between important forces aiming at. active agreement or co- operation. However. there is but little encouragement on the financ- ial side.

Fnr the Birbday

Those whose blrhday it is may; have an eventful and lively year in: the ordinary routine of daily events But there is much hazard should they step outside this groove with an idea of increasing finances through investment, speculation or other form of gambling or indulg- ence.. Be conservative with funds.

A child born on this day is clever. forceful and ambitious. but may be disposed to take large chances. with loss of funds, pres- tige and happiness.

Day After Tomorrow

THE horoscope emphasizes the usual everyday routines and di- versions, although there is a sign warning against over-indulgence in any and all forms of outlay and extravagance. This applies to ener- gies. emotions and other excesses. as these may prove more costly than warranted.

If It In Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it is will find their vim. initiative and po- tenciea pitched to high gear for much daring. enterprise and ac- complishment. And while the time is ripe for experimental ventures, at. the some time there may be haz- ardous and disagreeable complic- ations ln chanclng funds and pru- tlge on map Judgment. Beware of all forms of extravagance and in- dulgencoa.

A child born on this day will be energetic and anti-iuaiuti, with big ideas and ambition, but may

Should Girls Leave Home? Two Are.Warned To Make All

DEAR MISS DIX: Do you think it wise for live in leave their families and friends to move to another city? Tires; girls are close friends of mine. Their parents are strongly opposed to the idea. but cant. seem to persuade the girls that they would be doing the wrong thing. They. are both attractive. aged 20. but have little social life in this town. They claim they want to meet new people and see new places,

girl should leave home to make her way in the world is open to so many "ifs" nnd "buts" that an overall answer is impossible. Since, in this case, two girls would be going together. there isn't as much objection to the idea as there might be oth- EYWISE.

A girl who wants to live in a big city just for a good time is. however. going to be mighty dis. illusioned. A city can be a lonesome place for a stranger. But. if she has a definite goal in mind, ' such as a profession to pursue, or if she is an in- ordinately capable girl who feels she can make a success in the busi- ness world. she can be given a green light to go ahead and at least make the attempt. Most of the career women in any city are re- cruited from small towns. or at least smaller cities. "It is true in New York. for instance, that in any gathering of successful business or professional girls. a native-born New Yorker is sufficiently scarce as to excite animated curiosity. ' Before leaving home. your friends should have some idea of their immediate prospects. They should at least have a place to live, and a. Job, too. if possible, waiting for them. If their purpose is to con- tinue education. plans along that line should be made ahead of time. Emphaticnlly. they should not leave home without making some of "1959 DF6Pl1FMI9n5- They should lilso have enouizh money to carry them -for a while in case a job doesn't work out according to ex- pectations. And above all! They must be prepared to cope with con- siderable loncliness before they are acclimated: A large city is cold unt-il.one makes friends. Then, of course, it can be as glamorous as anticipated.

THEY MUST BE PREPARED

A drastic move like this definitely is not for the emotionally im- mature. sheltered miss who has been used to having everything done for her. who hasn't been accustomed to responsibility. or who lives in a world of dreams rather than reality. Tlierels nothing dream- like about supporting one'a self among strangers. and only the grealtcst economy will stretch a beginner's pay check from week to wee .

If your friends are of above-average intelligence. have given proof -that they can take care of themselves. and are ahle to make at least the above-mentioned necessary contacts in the city. there's no reason why they shouldn't give it is try. Only the hardicsi. survive suclf a' m0V9- 50 ih9Y'ii Probably be back in short order with a new outlook on small-town possibilities.

DEAR MISS DIX: My 29-year-old sister is very imnuiiiire fori her age. Sim is going with a man of unsavory nnd qiiesiionaiilei reputation, who refuses to work. and is 7 years her junior. She. isn't in love with him. but is so desperately afraid she'll remain siiigiey that she clings to this man in spite of all efforts on the part of her, family to dissuade her. Her failure to attract men up to now was due to a moody and unpleasant disposition. AGATHA i

ANSWER: Your sister needs the expert attention of a psychia- trist, and I suggest that your parents see that she gets it. Being sol attracted to. and dependent upon. a man of instability can lead her, to tragedy. He certainly is not a person to assume the responsibility of a wife and family. but his promise to do so can easily break down the thin moral fibre of a girl as susceptible as your sister.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a girl of 20 with a regular bean in service. i really like him. we write frequently to each other and when he is home he spends most of his time at my house or asks me to his. My problem is that when he isn't home. his brother dates me and is now becoming very Jealous. KITTY

ANSWER: Simply drop the brother and your problem i4 ss....i. Your present dating status is going to result in someone being hurt. and I can assure you it won't be the young brother.

Ifxnn individual has some of the symptoms of -heart discus.-H short- neu ofabreoth. swelling of ankles- and thinks he haa.t.ruo orprganip heart disease, yet no organic dis- ease in present. he suffers in mind and body as if he really, had true or organic heart disease. .

In the Journal oftha American Medical Association, Dr.. Arthur M Master. New York. states that "one should not consider functional dis- turbances (aymptoms present but not due to organic disease) unim- portant merely because they are not due to organic disease. Too often the mental and physical dis- tress caused by functionai heart disease results in either partial or total disability. and too often it causes a disruption of the family and social life of the patient."
