Fast flight around the zodiac signs
The lines that are going to follow this prologue is a quick rundown on what you would face with the sun signs in a simple situation. It has been taken from my favourite book "Linda Goodman's Sun signs":
Pretend you're the only man in a room with twelve women (Just like Harman baweja in What's your Rashee?). That should be a pleasant supposition. You are discussing the subject of calling cards. Should people use them today, is it old-fashioned, and what should they look like ?
Aries: Don't need them. I use telephone.
Taurus: It's rare that I go calling. People visit me.
Gemini: Calling cards! Who has time for calling cards?
Leo: Well, if they were really wild, and impressive looking--
Virgo: I'll have to check Emily Post and see exactly what she says...
Sagittarius: My gawd! you mean people still take time for that junk ?
Scorpio: If they're not home, they miss me. It's their loss not mine.
Aquarius: I wonder if it's raining outside? I thought I heard the thunder.
Cancer: Cards are so impersonal. I'd rather write a note.
Pisces: I always sense when people aren't there, and I only call on them when I get a subliminal message they want to see me.
Capricorn: The custom is perfectly proper. But there's no point in discussing the design. If it's not engraved, it's not a calling card.
Libra: Well, it all depends. If you want to do the correct thing, you should have them. It's a charming gesture. On the other hand, using them might seem pretentious today, and the modern woman is too busy to bother with them. Of course, you have to consider the reason behind the custom. Then again there are people who can't afford calling cards. If it's a strain on the budget, they aren't really necessary. Looking at the other side of it, however, I can't help feeling the beauty and the grace of yesterday is missing in today's frantic pace, so it might be money well spent. I suppose they should be engraved. Yet, it's true that something different would reflect the individual personality. A creative person could design his own. But such individual card might be misunderstood by very social people, you know?Your own friends would love your being original, but plain engraving is probably more acceptable. At least I think it should be, But still- well..........
