How ABOUT Your CHM

Drunkards usually rave a clrculaI
line about their chiTs.
Square chinD, with little flesh, denote
firmness and good executive ability
The owners make good haters.
Broad chins signify nobleness and
large dignity, unless vertically thin,
when If thin, bloodless lips go with
them you will find cruelty.
The chin, taken in connection with
the rest of the face, is almost as good
an index of charac .er as is the thumb.
Stevens have wrinkles around their
chlns
Owners of long, thin chins are poet
zeal, unstable and delicate in constitu-
ton. If thin about the angles of the
mouth the owner is liable to tubercu-
losis and is generally short lived.
Protruding chins characterize men
and women Of the get-there type. Sue
cessful people usually carry their chtns
thrust forward, with compressed lips.
If this style of chin is heavy and SWELL
ing it denotes fighting blood.
A retreating chin shows lack of force
mentally, morally and physically; the
owner is of the yielding kind, soon dis
couraged, needs protection and mas
small executive force. The develop
ment of other facilities usually makes
up for this lack.
Medium chins, with suggestive bi-
furcation in the center on the order of
dimple, with small mounds of flesh
on either side characterize generosity,
lmpulsiveness and a CHEEKY nature. Thu
same size chins, with dab of flesh un-
der the center of the lower lip, indicate
meanness, selfishEess and brutality.
A small, well rounded chin indicator
a pleasure loving nature, and IL dim
pied, all the more SO. for dimpled
chins belong to coquettes People with
dimples love te be petted and liked and
are fond of admiration and praise.
They are generally tickle. Usually the
oowner of TING chin is healthy, recuper.
alive and long lived.

A NICE DAY.

How the Old Man Crushed Young
Suitor.
There is a Forest avenue father who
doesn't believe in allowing his charm
ing daughter to engage the attention
of young men before she is 10 years
osi. says the Detroit Free Press. And
there is young man who is equally
determined that the plans of the old
gentleman shall be outwitted. But the
youngster came to grief one day last
week and only the kindly words of the
mother saved him from complete and
unqualified disaster. The young fell
low had been cautious about being
around the house when the old man
was there, particularly on Sunday.
when, of all days, the old gentleman
considered that young men and women
should mediate at home alone I'm
happily, this Sunday evening papa
didn't go to church and as his dearly
beloved daughter and the young man
came toward the homestead he was
reading paper The lovers realized
the deicacy of their position, but both
up lltll ldlI6IlnB courage
and approached the domicile. For
want of anything better to say the
young man observed that it would be
a beautiful day tomorrow. The old
gentleman looked over his eyeglasses
and his paper and, apparently intend
ing to crush his young friend at one
blow, he broke forth:
Mice day, Ell? Well guess, young
man, the Lord will take care of that
without any help from you Young
men should be in church Sunday night
instead of calling on young ladies and
specializing whether tomorrow will he
nice day or bad one. That's what
l think about it,"
All the youngsters ideas of pleasant
days vanished and the sunset in the
west was only light flush compared
with the deep red on the cheeks of the
girl. But mamma helped out just a
little, while George was contriving a
retreat that would not be utterly ig-
nominious.
Eyes, George" said mamma, 81
think 1t will be very nice day."
'It's getting rather cloudy, though"
remarked George, as he turned dis
comfiture into righteousness for mo-
ment and glanced from papa's face to
the clear sky
