that command, for a winning smile
covers a multitude of sins and defects
and has a value peculiarly It's own.
There are smiles and smiles. A French
scientist has discovered that the right
kind OF a smile cannot be produced Dy
muscular contraction alone, but is real
ly the visible expression of the soul and
has its source deeper than mere skin
and flesh.
The malicious smile does not win nor
please. 1t is soulless, because the eyes
remain cold and forbidding, while the
mouth curis up in hollow mockery. Inc
selfish smile deceives no one. The COM
