are large and prominent, and in colour dark grey. She

are thin, but well shaped, and the expression of the
mouth indicates • strong will. Her forehead is an un-
usual one for a woman. It is prominent almost massive,
but singularly flat in the region of isleslity. The general

over all there Is • shadow of deep-seated sorrow, as if life
had ceased to charm.
