A dark haired man reclined gracefully
in an easy chair in q brownstone house
mp town, and said to our reporter:
II devote myself to making people
beautiful"
He smiled TRANQUILITY and brushed a
lock Of hair back from his forehead. He
was slightly above the middle height,
with bullying chest and square should
ers. His hair was dark and glossy, and
his large black moustache was ourled
allghtly ut the ends. His complexion
was clear and noticeably white in con-
trast with his black hair, and his finger
nails looked as though they had been
the special care of a manicure.
Doubtless" he continued, with an
agreeable smile, lyon think me o char

will, and yet am not fat. My cheeks"
he continued, touching them with his
two forefingers, are not full and round.
This doubtless surprises you when cou-

For instance, it is O well.established

parted in the middle and drawn back on
either side from her forehead. Her face
Is too long. too thin and too sharp.
There is straight line that runs
directly through the part in her hair

nose to her chin. In glsncing at her
