A SrEREorYPED SMILE.

Beware of man or woman with q
fixed smile. Trust the most hideous
scowler before the being who goes
about with an angelic grin carefully
exhibited to all eyes under any and
every circumstance 1t is not nat
ural to smile perpetually. and no
one ever assumes a mask without be-
ing conscious of a necessity for con-
cealment. Do not misunderstood
me. There are young women. and a
few old men, who break out into a
smile whenever they speak. These
are not the people l mean. The
smile of which 1 warned you is a
motionless, hypocritical fixed ex-
preston, which have seen worn on
silent three hours ride by rail with
out the slightest alteration-thats sort
of smile which mos. misguided lady
artists present upon their canvas
when they delineate martyrs. saints
and angels. The portrait of lady
has O different smile-the fashion
plate simper, though sem;-idiotic, is
not dangerous. Persons of no pen
etration allude to the chronic smile
as $50 sweet" and any one capable
of holding the muscles of the face
under control, is generally able to
aaucal sweetly, to move quietly, and
to use choice language, measured
tones, in moments at the greatest ex-
citement, and SO can always place a
better man or woman at great disad-
vantage. and appear injured and in
nocent when actually most guilty.
