THE HUMAN FACE.
Visible Signs of Invisible Things Should
BE Our Guides.

N
1t is claimed that there is much in
physiognOmy which reveals the true
character OF the person to those from
whom it is most desirable to conceal
it, The claim is 4 just one for those
who have learned the language of the
face, but there are few who really un-
derstand these visible signs of invisi.
bic things" To most people the faces
Of those around them indicate nothing,
or surface qualities only. To the
learned few the characteristics indi-
Gated are in many cases Numerically
opposed to those which the uninitiated
or casual observer sees. ;
Isn't she lovely?' exclaimed one lady
to another recently. "She has such
candid, innocent, large blue eyes that
n must take to her at once" The
lady addressed made no reply, but she
felt hat those same blue eyes were of
Il type that, innocent, childlike and
soulful as they might seem. always ina
dictated n lack of truth in the owner.
Il would not trust those eyes any
where" said she to herself, but I shall
say nothing. They are of the type
known as the lying blue eye but it is
not for me to judge" Nevertheless her
diagnosis of the case was entirely cor
rect.
With a face of candor and blue eyes
that would melt n heart of stone. the
owner, nevertheless, proved utter
~ unreliable in her word in
every way. Precisely the same
thing happened in relation TO Il
man having the same kind of soul.
full blue eyes. 1t is not necessary that
everyone having blue eyes should have
a propensity for untruth, nor that al,
owning eyes of other colors should be
truthful, but so far it has been proved
that those to whom nature has given
eyes of this peculiar blue she also
gives a vivid imagination, to put it del
icatcly.
What do you think of So and SOP"
was asked by n man OF another man.
i'll relation to some one with whom
he would have close dealings.
Il do not like his square jaw. You
will have trouble with him if YOU run
up against his opinions or judgment or
if you give him any hold. Give him an
inch and he'll take an ell"
"He has been ve-y pleasant SO far"
That may be, too, and I may be mis-
taken. Try him" In three months or
less the square jaw had asserted itself
and the close relations were abandoned.
There is no study which pays better
in the long run than that of the human
face. We may become Disguised with
all the meannesscs we find below the
surface, but hen we likewise will be
disappointed in the many good points
we discover, hitherto unsupported, in
an unattractive face. So things will
