n 7 OF one man in a hundred ever
IN looks at a girls chin unless
y there is a dimole in il. Even
~ when a merry bachelor be-
comes thoughtful enough about
some one girl TO wonder whether
black eyes really do mean a jealous
nature. or if there is anything in the
saying that red hair and a high tenn
per invariably go together. or whether
anybody who is used to Paris frocks
could be satisfied with homemade
cotton shirt waists. il never occurs to
him 10 look at her chin for the an
swer. Even il he should try, his glance
probably would set lost in the laces
beneath il. or caught in the eyes or
the lips above it. or would stray away
10 the court plaster patch at the side
OF ii. II could not be expected that
man who had never seen a woman's
chin fare up dangerously over the
coffee urn AT breakfast or settle down
in a hard line over the butchers bill
or tremble tearily at the refusal Of a
new hat would know just how much
there is in the tilt and the curve and
the dimple OF that one feature Of every
feminine face. And yet on the tilt
Of that little point i'm each woman's
face Is balanced some mans fate.
Around the curve Of il is woven a
whole lifetime of happiness or misery
for some unsuspecting fellow who will
some day kiss it, and in its very
dimple turks mystery and misery and
enough other ingredients Of matri-
moniaI happiness and unhapiness to

Indeed the dimple in a pretty girls
chin is the most subtle bit OF decep-
ton into which a young and unsus-
pecting bachelor may stumble. If it is
the angels who kiss dimples into a
baby's cheeks. then IL is the devil who
bites the dimple into a baby's chin.
and with il he leaves a large chunk Of
vanity. self-assurance and cOnceit that
somehow never gets lived down or
worked out OF the system. The girl
with a dimple in her chin is invariably
fascinating. His Majesty Satan proba-
bly, sees 10 that. too. But from the
day on which she cuts her first tooth
until the day on which she signs her
viii and ceases 10 smile above that
dimple she cares more for a ribbon
than she does for her souls salvation,
more for a yard OF lace than for her
sweetest illusions and more for a dol
lar bill from her husbands pocket
book than for all the devotion of his
heart Let AlgernOn beware Of Dor
othy If she has dimple in her chin
and he has not q million TO his ac-
count in the bank. He may look at
the dimple a moment or two and ad-
mire il duly. but after that he had
best take his hat and stick and depart
before the hypnOtism Of the dimple
begins 10 work its charm. The
woman with a dimple in her chin has
sent more delaulters TO Canada, put
more counterfeiters behind bars and
driven more men TO the gambling Ia
bic than anybody dreams. For the
girl with @ dimpled chin has but to
tilt that chin on one side and smile
10 get anything I'm the world she wants
and there is not much in the world
that she doesn't want If you are rich
and don't mind being impoverished:
II you want a pretty, automatic doll
that can say 4 love you" for a new
frock and give you an automatic kiss
every time il wants a bonnet or a box
at the opera; II you would just as soon
be considered in the light of a con-
venient money box in your own house;
IL you would rather give than receive,
love than be loved, slave than be ca
