THE MIRROR TOO CRITICAL.

Here is q crumb Of comfort for lad
les who consult their mirrors often.
An investigator of real merit has come
forward with an interesting study as
to the uncharitable criticisms made by
ladies' of their own beauty. Every girl
who is dissatisfied with herself should
remember, hereafter, f-iat she is better
looking than most kinds Of looking
glasses bid her believe. A mirror, 1t Is
contended cannot fiatter face that
is In its natural state-that is, not made
up. Even the very best plate-glass has
q pale-green tinge which reflects color
tribe less clear than the original.
Hair also has even a more glossy sheen
than the glass shows-if it is wavy, the
glass never shows the best Of the
waves, and il it is straight, the glass
accentuates the straightness. Again,
no one ever looks at the face so closely
or so critically as the OWNER Of 1t looks
at the reflection Of IT in the glass.
Blemishes that are grief to nor;
conceited girl may pass quite IN
noticed by her friends. The two or
three gray hairs that appear unkindly
soon on the head of girl who over
works her brain, simply have the eff
feet of high lights in a picture, and
pass for extra gloss. The figure that
looks heavy when seen only as far rs
the waist in glass may be absolutely
in graceful proportion when seen with
the rest Of the figure. Altogether ii is
plain that women take themselves too
seriously, and would remain sweeter
and fairer much longer IL they but
cease to worry over shortcomings that
are trivial TO degree.

11rE .fANsY Fable.

A pretty fable about the pausy is cur
rent among French and German children.
The flower has. five petals and five sepals.
In most pansies, especially of the earlier
and less highly developed varieties, two Of
the petals arsplain In color and three are
gray. The two plain petals have sepal
each and the third, which is the largest Of
all, has two sepals.
The fable is that the pansy represents
family, consisting Of husband and wife
and four daughters. two OF the latter be-
ing stepchildren of the wife. The plain
petals are the stepchildren, with only one
chair; the two small, gay petals are the
daughters, with chair each, and the
large gay petal is the wife, with two
chairs.
To find the father one must strip away
the petals until the stamens and pistils
are bare. They have a fanciful resem-
bIance to an old man with flannel wrap
about his neck, his shoulders uprsised
with his feet in bath-tub. The story is
probably of French origin, because the
French call the pansy the stepmother.
