Make Your Face Expressive.

A face may be ever so pretty in outline
and ever so irregular in feature. Its com
pleXion may be perfect and its grooming
all that could be desired. But if it lacks
expression the chief attraction will be
missing.
An expressive face. on the other hand,
may not be specially regular in contour
and some of its features may be open TO
criticism. Even its complexion may not
be all 1t ought to be. Yet it is pretty, be-
cause 1t is expressive.
An expressive face is n possession
which is priceless TO the woman who has
1t. 1t is a thing which the woman who
does not possess it should set herself at
work TO acquire.
ANY one can acquire an expressive face.
1t is thing more easily attained than
any in all of beauty's category.
1T would be 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.
And for this she must study the laws of
hygiene.
The eyes should be bright and pretty.
To make the eyes glisten, do not use bella
donna, and do not put drugs into them
Simply battle them with hot water, and
do not 90 out into the air for an hour
after applying the hot bath.
Those who want to make the eyes very
brilliant can sometimes apply Il warm
compress of hot water and boracic acid.
This IS purifying to the eyes aud
strengthens the sight.
The woman who rubs her eyes will not
have expressive eyes. But the woman
who weeps Il great deal is pretty sure 10
have good eyes.
1t is "A singular thing, not accounted
for III ones philosophy that the lying
woman usually has bright. clear. express
slye eyes, and the more She sheds tears
the brighter her eyes become. A ply
stefan accounted for it in this manner:
The crying woman" said he, rarely
feels her woes. She sheds Il great many
tears. but that Is the end OF il.
She does not worry at all, and never
has a headache She weeps at the Slight
est provocation; but when she has dried
her eyes She is happy again.
Her eyes are cleansed by the process,
and she has given vent to her feelings
and avoided nervous strain.
The dry-eyed, fearless woman on the
other hand worries 4 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.
"She is worried and her head aches
perpetually Now, if she would have
one good cry and cry it out. she would
be the better by q thousand per cent,
for the indulgence
There are things which are said 10
make the lashes grow, but ii is risky to
try them.
The eyebrows are very important in
heauty's list of expressive features. And.
fortunately they can be easily treated.
The woman who win warm little olive
oil every night and apply it to her laShes
with Il camel S-hair brush, will find that
her lasheS increase in thickness and
that they grow darker day by day.
The mouth should be one of the most
expressive features of the face. But
often il Is the least so.
An expressive mouth should he lifted
at the corners. II should be full of lip
and very curved. IT should be a bright
rosy red and it should be soft and warm.
The woman whose mouth does not
curve upward 1T the corners has no one
to blame but herself She has formed
the habit of drawing ii down aud the
corners have learned TO droop.
Now the beautifully pathetic dropping
mouth may be lovely in poetry, but iD
real life il j. seldom attractive. There
are girls of III whose mouths dr0op nat
urally and children whose lips have that
downward droOp But, as woman
grows older. the dropping mouth is sign
81 age and of sorrow; and II often ac-
companies the woman who has had a
very hard lot in life
Force the corners 10 smile, insist upon
u that the lips form themselves into a
Cupid's bow. DO not be contented with
ANYTHING else. Let your lips be full and
red
Mobility * one of the requisites Of an
expressive face and this bespeaks a ph-
able skin. The skin must be soft or It
viii not be mobile. And this means that
il must be well cared for.
Take the skin and massage il wi.b
