bun in your pocket. She will know all
your opinions and most of your senti-
ments before you have uttered them;
she will pick out your acquaintance,
select your pastimes and choose your
reading matter for you. AS her chin
becomes more pointed her remarks will
become more pointed; as her chin gets
sharper her tongue will get sharper; as
her curves become angles her sugges-
tions will become commands. There will
be plenty of starch in your shirts and

body but yourself. You will go through
life like a novice taking a spin in an
automobile beside an expert chauffeur.
From the day that you walk to the al

There is a type of woman who has
no chin at all. The lower part of her
face is merely a gentle slope with a
turn in TO the throat. Her sweetheart
might gaze at her fondly for seven
evenings out Of the week without ever
being made aware of the presence of
her chin; and yet, that gentle slope is
a most wonderful index TO her charac-
ter. 1t is the keynote to penny novel
full Of sentiment. 1t is the sentimental
chin.
The man who marries the girl with
no chin at all will never be able to
decide whether he is glad or sorry
that he did it. In the morning when
he is gulping down a cup Of cold and
sloppy coffee and trying to find his
hat under a mass Of newspapers, books
and umbrellas in the hall. he will softly
curse fate that he ever saw the woman
seated opposite him in all the glory
Of curl papers and soiled satin kim
ona. But in the evening when he
comes home tired and dusty from the
Office, to be met with a kiss and a
song on a vine-clad piazza, with roses
growing all about it, ne will wonder
why he ever was discontented. On the
first Of the month, when he finds that
there is not enough money in the bank
to meet the bills. deep sympathy for
himself viii spring up in his heart;
but the next evening, when she tells
him by the light of the moon that she
used the money to help a poor old lady
and bought present for his mother
and took lot Of flowers to the hospi-
tai, he will kick himself for his own
meanness. He will live in a constant
atmosphere of poetry, roses. sachet
powder. debts, dirt. dust and dreams.
He viii never be able TO find a clean
collar, a whole sock or a waist
coat with the buttons all on
it; but he will always be allowed
TO smoke his pipe in any room in the
house, put his feet on the satin parIor
chairs. and go to an Astor ball in his
bathrobe, if he chooses.
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-24

His money will flow like water down
hill, but he will get good time for it.
If he is rich his wife will make him
poor in short order but If he is poor
she will not mind it in the least but
will live quite as happily on a little
love, little poetry and bread and tea.
If he is young she will inspire him,
and If he is old she will rejuvenate
him. II he is bad tempered she will
keep him cheerful and if he is buoy
ant she will help him make merry.
In short nobody would think of call
ing her "a good wife," but she makes
an ideal sweetheart" and that is
what most men really want beside
them through life.
If he had his choice in feminine
chins, perhaps every man who is
thinking of getting married would in
variably pick out a girl with the Ma
donna chin, that indescribably sweet
chin, all curves, no angles and with a
deep horizontal cut just beneath the
lower lip. Such girl is as safe an
investment as Government bonds. The

that chin he knows that it will never
wrinkle petulantly at the refusal of a
new bonnet. that 1t will never grow
hard and cruel with angry fits Of tenn
per, that it will never quiver weakly in
moments of trial, that from the lips

and fairy stories can come. The girl

combination of sweetheart and wife.
