LAVATER'S ART REVIVED.
Character Reading from the Lines and
Features of the Face.


The latest social amusement is character
reading from the face. A girl with just
the right kind Of eyes might be able to do
almost as deadly work with 1t as with
palmistry. OF course, the new science in
all it's completeness Is intricate and occult
and all the rest OF II, but a few general
principles have been deduced which may
interest the multitude. The eyebrows, for
instance, that jut downward on to the
roof OF the nose, Indicate that their owner
IL capable OF subterfuge, and If not coun-
terbalanced by large share OF conscien-
tiousness the person is sure to be a fibber.
II the ears lie far back II denotes intellec-
tuality. If the eyes are deeply set In the
head the owner OF them IS shrewd and
keenly observant. IL those little lines you
have in the forehead between the eyes
number two you are a lover OF justice:
IL three or four, you are benevolent and
wise; II only one, you are strict In small
matters. II the bridge of your nose Is
thin. then you are quick to part with your
money; IL it is thick. you are greedy and
avaricious; still, If at the same time. your
lower lip be full and ruddy, you are only
avaricious I'm order to have plenty TO give
away to those you love. II your upper lip
rises and shows your teeth, you are err
ratio and easily tired. II you know any
body whose eyebrows are shaggy and
thick beware of them, for they have bad
temper

egotist. She went out for norse-car
ride with her aunt. She had her new
purse with her and was very DESTROYS
to pay her own fare, but her aunt
said no.
"You are my guest" she explained
to Dorothy, land SO must pay your
fare; but you may take the ten cents
and hand it to the conductor, if you
like"
So Dorothy took the dime, and when
the conductor came along she handed
it to him in the most dignified manner.
He gave her quick look, and esti-
mating that she was under the five
year limit he rang in only one fare,
and handed back a fve-cent piece,
which Dorothy took without word.

All the other rams come forward and
take their places near by. facing the
foe. The ewes and the lambs huddle
closely together behind their de-
