READING THE LIPS.
They Furnish an Index to Ones Char
acterN Which Rarely Deceives
Careful Observers.

The lower lip is the most important
part of the mouth as an Indicator of
character. According to its fuIlness,
freshness in appearance and width it
indicates benevolence and Iiberality.
A pale, shriveled and narrow lower lin
reveals decided want of these quail
tiles.
There are thick underlips which so
hang that they become almost a dis
fgurement, and these, as well as look
ing ugly, denote Incidence and love
of luxury. Taking the opposite ex-
treme, however, it is not desirable to
have. pronounced thin lips, for when
the outline of the lips is narrow, and
united to mouth with a sinister ex-
preston, there is indicated great de-
ficiency of natural kindness in their
owner, want of warmth and but lit
tie capacity to love. Well-defined and
developed lips, the outlines of which
are rounded out, are admired for their
beauty and moral worth, being, as
they are, tokens of tender-hearted
amiable and sympathetic disposition.
Well closed lips are sign of discre-
ton. If the upper one is long, in addi-
tion to being pressed down firmly upon
the lower one, both mental and phys
ical power appertain to their owner.
When the upper lip is very short and
the middle teeth of the top row are
constantly exposed, fondness for
praise is betrayed
Frequently another type of mouth is
seen, one in which the corners Of the
lips descend, indicating person of a
Respondent disposition, prone to dwell
overmuch upon the serious side off
life. But when the corners turn up in
the form of Cupid's bow, their pos

KINGS AND THEIR CROWNS.


King Oscar, of Sweden, has not only
two crowns, but, although Sweden and
Norway are now one kingdom, the
Swedish king receives two corona
tions.
The crown has no part in the inaug-
ural ceremony of the king of the Bel
gians, who merely swears to preserve
the constitution and to observe the
laws.
While some monarchs have no
crowns, others have several. The car
Of Russia has large assortment.
Among the baubles of the car are the
crowns of Kier, Kasan, Siberia, Astra-
chan, Poland, Finland and the Crimea.
The sultan of Turkey has no crown
and nothing of the kind is employed
In his investiture with despotic power.
His authority is frankly the power Of
the sword Instead of coronation, the
sultan is grit with the sword Of 9th
man. 'sTake it with faith" is the in
Junction, "for you receive it from
God"
Spain originally had no crown, and
there is no actual coronation now, the
monarch only taking an oath similar
to that of the king of the Belgians.
But though not actually invested with
the round and top Of royalty. a Spanish
king has crown of a very costly and
elaborate design, though it originally
was only plain band of gold.
The Oldest, and, to the general mag
nation, probably the most imposing
crown in Europe is the Iron crown Of
Lombardy--hoary impostor though it
is. 1t is gravely declared to be made
out of the nails used in the crucifix-
ion. 1t is 1900 years old, and so holy
is the material that the laws of chem
ical affinity have been suspended in
its favor, and there is not, and there
never has been, particle Of rust upon
it.
In the matter of costliness the evo-
|lutionary lead seems to have been
taken by the Portuguese crown, which
has been valued at $4,000, COO. It is,
however, sad to say, necessary to take
all such estimates with some caution.
One would think that where persons
so exalted as kings and Queens are
concerned there could be no distinc-
ton between the nominal and the real
value. Alas! the lack of funds some
times vexes even the most exalted
souls, and monarchs have been known
to .'fake" their crowns with colored
glass and to send the real gems to
their 'tuncles.''

Elaboration is increasing in negli-

now to satisfactory garment. Not
long ago everything but a compara-
lively simple boudoir gown was
graded as more or less extravaganza
finery, according to its degree of COM
plexity, but now it is possible to
copy the costly ideas at comparative
" small outlay, 50 highly wrought
robes and jackets are the rule. A
potent aid in much Of this copying is
the beauty and abundance of cotton
fabrics made in imitation of silk. The
mercerizing processes have brought
many handsome stuffs and practically
all the lighter ones have been made
available for house gowns, negligees
and the like. and while not few of
these are worthy Of really fine trim
mings, there is no end of inexpen-
sive garnitures that will set them off
nicely.
While garments composed in this
way may and do reflect the newest
styles, it is better to study fashions
in more costly materials. And that
is easy, for in the model gowns are
fine stuffs without end. In them

is used as a finish. Figured lawns,

White tea gowns are stylish and
