Somebody said that no woman must
talk much. for as sure as she does she
will draw her lips together in a fashion
that's unbecoming. In a way, believe
this. but in another way, don't. The wo-
man who can talk we'll fails in her duty

WAYS Of making the feminine mouth,
which ought to look like a rosebud eX-

word. ..riante." which. freely translated
means laughing. and expresses exactly
how the mouth Of woman ought 10 look.
II doesn't mean, however, that woman
should get in the habit Of Sinking and
present a continual grin TO the masculine
world that states at her Think of the
women whose mouths have interested you.
There's the woman who is usually spoken
of as being very firm. and having decided
opinions: she expresses them by drawing
her lips together, so that they look like
the clasps of a steel purse, and setting
her Jaws as if she were trying 10 rival the

told that her teeth are good-so they are

parts her lips and smiles with the anna
