Not long ago, says the New York Times,
there was luncheon up town given by
woman well known in New York's social
life, whose guests were invited TO meet "the
Misses Blank" At the appointed hour q
company OF a dozen women were assembled
IN the hostess parlor, completing the ex-
pected number Of guests with the exception
OF TIE sisters in whose honor the feast was
held.
Time wore on, the company grew hungry,
and the hostess had visions OF spoiled lunch
con. but still the Misses Blank tarrled. Al
length, when full half hour beyond the
hour had struck, luncheon was announced,
and with a brief comment that the young
women must have been suddenly and un>
avoidably detained. the hostess
ushered her friends to the table.
The long luncheon was finished,
and later, adieus spoken with no word from
the missing guests OF honor, and everybody
went away curious to know what could have
happened, IN these days of messenger boys
and telephones, TO prevent the Misses Blank
from at least making some sign OF its i'm
port. A few days later, however, this
curiosity was gratified. A note from her
late hostess reached each guest present, say
ing shat in justice to the Misses Blank she
fastened to explain that through a curious
freak OF ent~mindedness she had neg
lected to send them any invitation to the
luncheon intended as 8 compliment to them
Which explanation fully exonerated the
young women and proved amusing to all
concerned, except perhaps the hostess.

first thing doctor does is to say LET me

ference In the world In the way different
people put out their tongues. and not only
that, but In the tongues themselves. One

TO me that the mere description Of the
tongue gives an idea of the character. An
other and quite an opposite style of tongue
Is thin. The owner pushes it away out
from the lips, and it comes out sharp and
pointed, with quick dart. Il holds itself

while the other one was wet. Both tie
thick and the thin style Of tongue are Of
many kinds. Some thick ones widen and

they are quite blunt. The thick tongue, II

The thick tongue comes out between scarcely
parted lips. On the contrary, the thin
tongue Is thrust sharply from the throat,
the lips being well clear of it on all sides.
Sometimes the thin tongue is thrust out
with ths point directed downward, but this
Is not usual, Sometimes the thin tongue
comes out curled up along the edges, and so
making deep groove along the middle.
The thin tongue inclnes TO present q oon~

under side. Many thin tongues lack color,
the most, however, at the point. After all

alertness, nervous power, and cool feelings
and swift temper. But why tell you sol
A bright, self-possessed, alert individual
habitually carries his tongue well back Of
his teeth, and 1t occupies little room In his
mouth. The slow man. in all stages TO the
idiot, lets his tongue more or less crowd his
mouth, and thrust itself loosely between
the teeth, and even between the lips.
Women have bright red aad thin tongues
as a rule, sharp ones, too, more often than
have men. Bat then poor dears, they need
them.
