Told By Oar Faces

Whether women's faces are more mo-
bile and more ready to receive an i'm
print. or whether women are less given
their inner feelings, is not definitely
understood; but the fact remains that
on nearly every feminine face is indeli-
bly, stamped some impress of her favor
ite pursuit or amusement
The auto face is we'll known, with its
tightiy-dTawn muscles, resolute, tense
expression, and an underlying air Of
resignation, as If il were saying, IF
death whirls around the next corner l
will meet it with forttude."
The long-distance lens of the golf
eye is also growing common, and the
card face is easily recognized. There
are those OF society who claim that
they can detect the difference between
the whist face and the countenance
general IS recognizable by the veriest
tyro.
There are women who have thrown
themselves into card playing so fever
ishly, with such intense excitement, that
il IS no longer diversion but a serious
task. Whether they play for money or
points, or for some trumpery prize
which they would not admit to their
drawing room except as an evidence of
their skill at the game, the result is
the same.
The strain on their nerves is expressed
by closely-drawn brows, an eye eager
and Watchful for an opponents plays
and misplayS, while greed and desire
for gain show themselves in ugly lines
about the mouth. This description ap-
plies. of course 70 the worst victims
of the craze: but the same symptoms

pear 81 - faces of too many maids
