Mrs. Frank Leslie has mouth about
which clings a sad, wistful expression,
as If she had missed something out of
her life, or some one had sadly disap-
pointed her. This habit of the lips
seems sadly atvariance with her bright,
sparkling eyes; yet, in their depths,
when she is not speaking, there fingers
suggestion that her life does not hold
all that she wishes for, courted and
honored though she is.
Amelie.. Rives Chanler has a mouth
very full and very red; the under lip
protrudes slightly. She does not smile
easily; when she does it comes in slow
fashion. She has some tricks of the lip
when speaking that to gentlemen are
very fetching. She curves the under
lip outward in a way that is very sug-
geStive of 'Quick or the Dead'' kisses.
Her mouth is sadly at variance with the
rest OF her face, which, in repoSe, is
rather classic.
Miss Zerega, who was to be the choice
OF his grace of Newcastle, has lips like
a child, soft and tender, that
give very innocent expression,
which is heightened by her wide,
earnest eyes of velvety brown. Mrs.
Fred Vanderbilt has very pretty
mouth and very kindly one, all the
lines of her face are in harmony. and
therein lies her beauty. She is particu-
lips suggest only tenderness and kind
illness, and those who know her best will
bear witness that they testify correctly.
Miss Grace Lowther has lips as red as
cherries, with flashing black eyes and
raven locks. She is as brilliant pic
ture as one often looks upon.
Mrs. John Bigelow had very charac-
teristic mouth. You could look at it
and imagine just how she said to the
scornful Ouida: "You needn't put on
such airs about the. Americans. they are
the only people under heaven who will
read your nasty books" Or how she
told the upstart English lord, when at
his own dinner table he boasted that
ker Hill: 'Well, maybe they did get
the guns, but we kept the HILL" Mrs.
Bigelow's lips were a tritle firm some
times, but they were never afraid of the
truth, and no one can say that SEN
tence ever passed them with malicious
intent toward any human being.
Mrs. Pierre Lorillard has very eX-
presSive lips. They are straight and
finely cut, and when in repose are not
unlike the lips of statue, so perfect is
their outline.
Mrs. John Sherwood has very mobile
lips. You can always tell what her
mood is from the expression of her
mouth. She is fine conversationalist
and knows how to talk gracefully,
which is more of an accomplishment
than many people guess.
Mrs. Levi p. Morton has a very pleas
ant mouth. She seems always to be
amiling. If her friends can be believed
it is but an index to her disposition.
Mrs. Harrison has rather a large
mouth, but one that is full of character.
She has very beautiful teeth, and is
prettieSt when she speaks.
Mrs. Harriet Webb, the well-known
elocutionist, has very full, smiling lips.
He laugh is something good to see as
well as to hear, for she allows her lips
full play, to have as good time aS they
can, and her even, white teeth have no
defects to hide. would travel miles
on rainy day and take the risk of get
laugh. It's infectious and hearty, and
does one good
Mrs. Harriet Clark, the sweet singer,
has pair lips that l know not how
to describe. | think of full-blown roses,
of ripe strawberries; l even fall back
upon the old chestnut of Cupid bow,p
but none of them will answer my pur-
pose in the least. They are perfect,
that is all; and how she can sing. The
music ripples off those lips, growing
sweeter by the contact. She has eyes
like blue forget-me-nots; complexion
like the tint of sea-shell. She is ''al-
together lovely" "a lady faire beyond
compare"
One might go on Indefinitely, as the
language of lips is ineXhaustible, but
there is danger of being tired even Of
the prettiest lips. Let me, however, give
you of my readers who represent the
lords of creation an infalIible rule by
which you can safely practice. Never
venture to kiss a woman until you have
taken good look at her lips. The eyes
are very we'll as far as they go, but the
lips tell the tale after all.
