every woman beyond % you see line
The lines Of the face which predominant
are perpendicular. There is something in
the climate which produces an intensity OF
nervous energy and mental excitement
The faces of Americans grow year bv yea,
more and more angular, and the direct
evidence of this Is shown in a curious illus

de said he had ob,er ed the jaws of his
patients becoming L.":. and more con
tracted as years Wen On. and that the
teeth of the people he treated were more
and more crowded together He gives this
as q evidence of the superiority of Ameri
can dentists, through the fact that they
have more difficulties to overcome in
treating jaws which are filed with over
crowded teeth. In Europe, where the eli
mate is not so stimulating and life runs
along on more peaceful lines, the faces are
broader and the teeth are often wide
apart. "-Washington Cor. Chicago Trib-
