You can tell the good-natured girl with
out a chart to reveal her whereabouts.
All you have to do is to look at her face.
There is a man who is giving drawing
room lectures upon faces. He reads the
but by the face.
You take a face that is open.' says this
lecturer. land you find a peculiarly frank
disposition The girl who can laugh and
show her teeth. broadening her mouth
into a wide smile. lie a girl who has an
open spirit. one who would not deceive
you. The woman who. when she smiles,
keeps her lips closed is not the woman
whom you can trust She may not be
dangerous, but she is secretive. And,
though she may tell you the truth, she will
not tell you the whole truth But the Open
mouthed girl may have a quick temper.
and she generally has Her upper lip is
short and her temper is no longer than
the upper lip.
She gets angry in hurry and it is
fare-up with her. Soon over, 1t may be,
but. for few minutes, the girl with the
short upper lip. the laughing mouth and
the white teeth falls victim to her
own temper. 1t is usually supposed that
the girl with the quick temper is the girl
Of unfortunate disposition, the girl to be
avoided But, as rule. the quicker the
temper the sooner over; and the girl with
the spirited disposition Is the one Who Is
the incest in the long run.
Affectionate Girls.
"Affectionate girls can always be told
by the mouth. The lips never stay to-
gether. but always parted or ready to
part. The affec.ionate girl is the emotional
girl. She always has her sympathies on
tap, and she can weep with you as readily
as she can laugh. Her lips, which lie in
half tod mill oil
tons of her soul and at very short notice.
The round. soft-chinned girl is the girl
to choose for wife. The woman who has
no chin at all. or at best sloping chin, Is
not the woman who would make a good
helpmate She would have no self-control
whatever and would fall a victim to every
temptation that beset her pathway.
THE weak-chinned woman. is the woman
who becomes addicted to alcoholism, who
takes to smoking and to the minor vices
for women. And it Is the weak-chinned
woman who goes far beyond her husbands
income and cannot resist doing so again
and again. The weak-chinned woman is
not vicious, but just weak There are
great many estimable women who have no
chin to speak of, but they are estimable
only because they have never been tempt
ed to be otherwise.
The Strong Chin.
Quite the opposite is the woman with
the prominent chin. Here is the woman
who knows a thing or two. and does not
hesitate to tell you So She absolutely rules
the household roost. The amiable woman
has a rounding chin. just chin enough and
no more than enough 1t may be single
chin, or 1t may be double chin. But its
type is unmistakable. This desirable type
of chin is curved and sometimes dimp.ed.
It Is rather wide, far from pointed. and 1t
gradually broadens into full happy cheeks.
THE beautiful type of chm may not be-
long to the beautiful type of face, for a
pretty chin does not make pretty woman.
But 1t is one of the straws which show
which way the wind is blowing The eye
reveals character, but unfortunately not so
clearly as the other features, though the
contrary is supposed to be true. People
are too much Influenced by the color OF
they are too much influenced by the size
and the luster, whereas neither is any in
dication whatever of character.
Character is revealed in the eyes by the
expression, by the softness or by the hard
ness. by the glow. by the appeal, by the
way of looking at you.
There are people who cannot look you
full in the eye and these are the people
egg. whose duplicity, whose methods and
whose means are not the best in the world
Expressive Eyes.
Dark eyes are supposed to belong to the
best type of soul, But this, also, is fall
light eyes. They are more capable of show
ing the emotions. they can say more than
light eyes. But they do not denote any
clearer. better character On the con-
trary, there are many people who argue
wholly in favor of the l!ght-eyed person,
and say that blue eyes are true eyes and
that black eyes and brown eyes are full OF
duplicity.
IF you are going to read character by
the face do not forget to read the com
plexion. The skin is a wonderful index OF
the state of the body. and consequently of
the habits and disposition of the body. The
skin of a dyspeptic is sallow. The skin of
a morbid person, troubled with the liver, is
a green.sh yellow. going into saffron. The
skin Of a woman who is lazy will be mot
tied.
"Ili-temper affects the circulation of the
blood; 1t sends the quick rush to the head;
1t paralyzes the nerves of the skin and
makes the hands and head hot and the feet
cold Women are more affected by ILL
temper than they suppose and a great
many colds are caused by bad circulation.
which In turn is caused by an attack of
bad temper.
Clear Skin.
"The skin that is perfectly clear and pref
ty almost always belongs to the good
natured woman. and pair Of bright, pref
ty red checks are almost always the prop
erty OF the girl with sunny disposition.
1t is said that an ill-tempered woman can
not have nice complexion. Certainly her
chances are much better II she will govern
her temper guard her tongue and try in
every possible way to rema n equally bal
anced through the trying scenes of life.
THE contour of a woman's face while
set to a certain degree by nature, Is not ar
bitrarily fxed. She can influence 1t In
every case. and absolutely alter it in
great many cases. The forehead, which is
such an index OF character can be kept
free from lines. 1t can be made smooth by
massage and kept smooth by care 1t is
one of the features which show very plain
ly the disposition OF the owner. and the
feature which more fhan all of hers first
