EXPRESSION is EVERYTHING,

l
ciate Its Power-Over-Se Seriousness
| Leads to Worry.
! A beautiful expression Is the loveliest
and most lasting charm a woman can
| possess. The features of pretty race
| may change, youthful contour De los'
in the lines of maturity; delicacy Oh
| coloring will fade, but sweetness OF eX-
| preston conveys an indelible impress
| sion upon all who view it.
| Actresses are the only women in tins
country who really study the art OF eX-
| preston.
Society women neglect this most nee
| essary adjunct to their fashionable en-
semble, and young girls are alloWea 10
| leave the social training schools Win
the most distressing distortions OF thelr
| facial muscles.
I Some young women acquire Pc
| culiarly scornful expression, ana with
physical air of utter ennui assume TINS
attitude of hauteur upon all occasions
1t is probable that their mental aper-
ration is that it lends a stamp OF eX-
clusiveness This is particularly notice
able with young women who dine at no.
tells or at swell cafes. The expression is
caused by the eevating of the brows'
dilation of the nostrls and an ugly con-
traction of the mouth.
The intellectual girl often appears at
a disadvantage. She is serious and in
tense Her brows are divided by SIN
gle furrow, and her lines of her mouth
are hard.
She takes life too seriously at all
times makes tragedy of existence; is
appalled, by the immensely of her task
in acquiring knowledge, and she-well,
she wonders why men do not seek her
society.
This is the over-serious expression,
and will in time yield to settled lines of
worry and premature old age, ana not
an agreeable old age. either.
The woman with disconnected eX-
preston is one that is found at after
noon receptions, in the street car. in the
shops and even in her own drawing
rooms She carries the state of her
mind glaringly before the whole world.
Her gown is not of extravagant ia
brio; public conveyances are nerves
wearing nuisances; she is not affiuent
enough to purchase the most expensive
of articles on the market, and her cook
burns the under crusts of the breakfast
biscuits.
This expression of discomfort obviates
all claims to beauty a really attractive
woman may otherwise possess. The
clever woman knows how to repress her
ill humors. The young girl who en-
counters all sorts of annoying incidents
while she is making her toilette, and
who becomes nervous and high strung
because her hair will not yield to prop
err dressing, will never be considered a
beauty if she carries her petulant ex-
preston to the dance. Ugly humors
should be left in the boudoir.
1t is smile that charms, not silly
insipid grin. that is constant source of
irritation to all who are unfortunate
enough to see 1t, but a jolly, happy or
sympathetic smile that reflects clean,
generous heart and makes everyone feel
the comforting sense or a wholesome |
presence.
The American woman has been said |
o lack repose and this spirit of restless
ness pervades a womans personality |
Ind shows itself in the lines of her face.
An eager seeking expression will soon
end a haunted look to g woman's face,
and she will carry with her own at
nosphere of nervous excitement.
This is to be avoided by women who
seek to please, for repose is a potent
power with the successful woman and
she realizes that men with the cares of
| strenuous life do not enjoy the con
slant irritation of viewing the evidences
If a woman's petty worries.
A happy expression is more irresisti-
,aly magnetic than the most perfect
classical features in the world, if they
ire lit by an unpleasant expression
