Make Your Face Expressive.

\ face may be ever SO pretty in outline
and ever so irregular in feature. It's COM
pIexiOn may be perfect and it's grooming
al that could be desired. But if it lacks
expression the chief attraction will be
missing
An expressive face, on the other hand,
may hot be specially regular ia contour
and some Of its features may be open to
criticism Even its complexion may not
be all il ought to be. Yet it is pretty be-
cause II is expressive.
An expressive face is a possession
which is priceless TO the woman pr,.s has
il. 1t is Il thing which the woman who
does lot possess it should set herself at
work 10 acquire.
Any one can acquire an expressive face.
IL is thing more easily attained than
any III all OF beauty'S category.
1t would be q very good thing if the
woman who is beginning to cultivate sym
pathy would look after her complexion
1t should be nice and clear and pink
ana for this she must study the laws Of
hygiene.
The eyes should be bright and pretty
10 make the eyes glisten, do not use bella
donna, and do not put drugs into them.
Simply battle them with hot water, and
Go not go out into the air for an hour
after applying the hot bath.
those who want to make the eyes very
compress of hot water and boracic acid.
Ihas IS purifying to the eyes and
strengthens the sight.
The woman who rubs her eyes will not
have expressive eyes. But the woman
who weeps a great deal is pretty sure TO
have good eyes.
1t is a singular thing, not accounted
for ia ones philosophy, that the lying
woman usually has bright, cleaE express
sINe eyes, and the more she Sheds tears
tbe brighter her eyes become. A ply
slcian accounted for it in this manner:
The crying woman" said he, rarely
feels her woes. She sheds great many
tears, but that is the end OF it,
She does not worry at all, and never
has a headache. She weeps at the slight
est pEoyOcation: blt when she has dried
her eyes she is happy again.
Her eyes are cleansed by the process,
and she has given went to her feelings
and avoided nervous strain.
The dry-eyed, fearless woman on the
other hand worries "a great deal. She
never gives vent to her emotions, and her
eyes have that worn and weary look
which is so destructive to their beauty.
1'She IS worried and her head aches
perpetually. Now, if she would have
one good cry and cay it out, she would
be the better by Thousand per cent
for the indulgence"
There are things which are said to
make the lashes grow, but it is risky to
try them.
The eyebrows are very important in
beauty's list Of expressive features. And
fort unatefg, they can be easily treated
The woman who will warm little olive
Oil every night and apply it to her ashes
With camel s-hair brush, will find that
her IaShes increase in thickness and
that they grow darker day by day.
Ihe mouth should be one Of the most
expressive features of the face. But
often 1T is the least So
an expressive mouth should be lifted
at the corners. 1t should be full of lip
And very curved. It should be bright
rosy red and it should be soft and warm
Inc woman whose mouth does not
curve upward at the corners has no one
70 blame but herself She has formed
the habit Of drawing it down and the
corners have learned to droop
Now the beautifully pathetic dropping
mouth may be lovely in poetry, but III
real life II is seldom attractive. There
are girls Of lG whose mouths droop nat
urally and children whose lips have that
downward droop. But, as woman
grows older, the dropping mouth is a sign
OF age and Of sorrow; and it often ac-
companies the woman who has had a
very hard lot in life
Force Ihe corners to smile, insist upon
II that the lips form themselves into n
Cnpids bow. Do not be contented with
anything else. Let Your lips be full and
red.
Mobility is one of the requisites of an
expressive face and this bespeaks a pli-
able skin. The skin must be soft or u Il
will not be mobile. And this means that
il must be well cared for
Take the skin and massage it with
