MODESS FOR THE SMART YOUNG SET for May 19 3 1 What Does Numerology Foresee for Janet Gaynor? Continued from page 53 which there was a pay envelope to look forward to regularly each week. An element oi pure chance, such as there often is in the profession of entertaining the public, would appear as too much of a chance to take. Whoever was the person who encouraged you, or even forced you to apply for work in the movies when you arrived with your family in Hollywood, was a definite instrument of destiny in your life, although perhaps he or she did not look upon their efforts in this way. The important people in our lives so seldom do comprehend their larger usefulness to our progress. You were by this influence pushed to take more of a chance than you would have been ready to take especially as the suggestion came at the time when you had expressed your number 8 'Expression' in a usual business position and discovered that business could not satisfy your inner 11 and the number 5's inclination for variety. Once started in 1924, which according to Numerology was not one of your best years or quite in tune with you emotionally, but a time of great surprises in your life, you really came into a current of events which had more to do wiJi your destiny before the public than with your own intentions, ideals or preferences. In following the encouragement given you to apply for work in the movies one can imagine that in making your first applications you were not at all sure of yourself inwardly.

Your public knows how you took advantage of your opportunities and gave your best interpretation of the roles allotted to you, but through your numbers I can see the processes of thought and action that were employed for this result. In your real name of Laura Gainer you will note that the sum total of its vowels is 11 and the total of all its numbers is 8 which was the 'Expression' I have already explained. To the Numerologer this means that the number 4 was absent from your name at birth and the qualities and abilities oi which it is the symbol wTere absent from your character. Number 4 gives to the individual character, the capacity for hard work, physical endurance: and without it. while we may have talents and some splendid ideas, we do not have the application and physical and mental concentration to acquire the technique or the proper method to produce practical results. \\ hile number 4 is in the same class as the 8 of your 'Expression' it is not exactly the same value to one who finds himself faced with the chance of success provided one can acquire in a short space of time a technique of a kind to gain acceptance before the public. W ith your name of Laura Gainer, without the number 4, you would not have THE smartest young things are using Modess these days — because they don't have to 'worry about it.
