helpful - generous - adapatable - optimistic (Gemini)

Here they are - the characteristics for Gemini people. They must be very nice with all those fine qualities.

Grandmother's almanac showed this sign as extending out from shoulders and arms of the human figure from which the zodiac signs radiate. There are two arms and shoulders, or course, and Gemini folks seem to have something of versatility or variableness.

They can see two sides to a question. Therefore it's wiser for them not to try to argue. The ancients found the Gemini people were apt to be artists and inventors.

And you know how many ups and downs those people have. They are optimistic and generous to a fault.

Because they can see two sides they are quite adaptable and fit into many places where the more stubborn, presistent Taurus, or the militant Aries would fail entirely. Gemini folks are charming, but somewhat capricious and variable. But they are delightful companions.

I hope you are getting along happily with your quilt and trust that you will write a letter to the Quilt Club Corner, even if you have already done so, for the letters are all so interesting and so many are coming in that the interest has become very great and the readers keep asking for more.

To keep informed on fashion trends and what's new in costume accessories, read the articles by Dare, Cecil Chittenden and other authorities every day in The Detroit News, The Home Newspaper.
