Learn Science Of Smiling.

To the woman who wishes to make
her path through life an easy and
agreeable one, the science Of smiling
is a most necessary study. Like act
ing, or art, or engineering, it is a
thing in which only practice can make
one perfect. A little theory may go a
long way, but it is enough to remem-
Der these two rules: First, the honey
Of a smile catches more hearts than
the vinegar of a frown CIR the pepper
Of a sheer; second, it is not the me-
chanical beauty but the significance Of
the smile that is attractiye.-Ex-
change.
