HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN.

at her face.
There is a man who is giving draw
ing room lectures upon faces. He
reads the character, says the New Or
leans Picayune, not by the head or the
hand, but by the face.
You take a face that is OPEN" says
this lecturer, land you find a peculiar
iy frank disposition. The girl who can
laugh and show her teeth, broadening
her mouth into a wide smile, is 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 general
ly has. Her upper lip is short and her
temper is no longer than the upper lip.
She gets angry in a hurry, and it is
dare-up with her. Soon over, it may
be, but, for a few minutes, the girl
with the short upper lip, the laughing
mouth and the white teeth, falls vic
tim 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 a 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 can always be told
by the mouth. The lips never stay
together, but are always parted or
ready TO part.
THE affectionate girl is the emotion
al girl. She always has her sympa-
thies on tap, and she can weep with
you as readily as she can laugh. Her
lips, which lie in curve half parted,
Will reveal all the emotions of her soul
at very short notice.
THE round, soft-chinned girl is the
girl to choose for a wife. The woman
who has no chin at all, or at best a
sloplng chin, is not the woman who
would make a good helpnAate. She
would have no self-control whatever,
and would fall a victim to every temp
tation that beset her pathway
The weak-chinned woman is the
woman who becomes addicted to alco-
hoism, who takes. to smoking and to
the minor vices for women. And it is
the weak-c hinned woman who goes far
beyond her husbands income and can
not resist doing so again and again.
THE weak-chinned woman is not
vicious, but just weak. There are a
great many estimable women who
have no chin to speak of, but they are
estmable only because they have never
been tempted to be otherwise.
Quite the opposite is the woman
with the prominent chin. Here is the
woman who knows 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 a single chin,
or it may be a double chin. But it's
type is unmistakable.
This desirable type of chin is curv-
ed, and sometimes dimpled. 1t is rath-
er wide, far from pointed, and it grad
ually broadens into full happy cheeks.
This beautiful type of chin may not
belong to the beautiful type of face,
for pretty chin does not make a
pretty woman. But it is one of the
straWs which show which way the
wind is blowing.
The eye reveals character, but I'M
fortunately not so clearly as the other
features, though the contrary is sup
posed to be true.
People are very much influenced by
the color of the eyes, which is, after
all, no guide, and they are too much
influenced by the size and the luster,
whereas neither is any indication
whatever of character.
Character is revealed in the eyes by
tne expression, by the softness or by
the hardness, by the glow, by the APP
peal, by the way of looking at you.
There are people who cannot look
you full in the eye, and these are the
people who are not frank, the people
whose strategy, whose duplicity, whose
methods and whose means are not the
best in the world.
Dark eyes are supposed to belong
10 the best type of soul. But this, also,
Is fallacy Dark eyes are more ex-
pressive than light eyes. They are
more capable of showing the emotions,
they can say more than light eyes But
tney do not denote any clearer, better
character.
on the contrary, there are many
people who argue wholly in favor of
the light-eyed person, and say that
plue eyes are true eyes, and that black
eyes and brown eyes are full of du-
plicity.
IF you are going to read character
by the face, do not forget to read the
complexion. The skin is wonderful
index of the state of the body, and
consequently of the habits and diSpo-
sition of the body.

women are more affected by i'll

attack of bad temper.
The skin that is perfectly clear and
pretty almost always belongs to the
sood-natured woman, and a pair of

sunny disposition.
1t is said that an ill-tempered wom-
on cannot have a nice complexion.
