The Lips.

Leigh Hunt says of those who have thin lips, and
not shrews or niggards:
''l must here give my firm opinion founded on
what have observed, that lips become more or less
contracted in the of years. in proportion they
are accustomed TO express good humor and generosity,
or peevishness or contracted mind. Remark the eff
feet which moment of i'll humor and grudgingness has
upon the lips; and judge what may be expected from
a habitual series of such moments. Remark the re-
verse, and make similar judgement. The mouth is
the fankest part of the face the least conceal

be fancied throwing up one great expression 10 the
