Every man is said to ride a hobby"
and every woman to cherish fad"
The stage is accredited with furnishing
more faddists. in proportion to its NUM-
bers, than any other profession. This
may be attributed to the fact that hav-
ing so much time at their disposal, trav-
cling and "laying off, during the sum-

Is allowed to drift into certain channels,

of the most extreme faddists on the
stage is Aphie James, the clever leading
woman to Louis James. She has made
physiognomy and labiology such a pro-
: found study that every time she comes
into contact with a person she instantly
begins an analysis of their character,
and she affirms that she has veryyrarely
been deceived. In an interview few
days ago she gave some startling reve-
lations of people who have come under
her observation that were positively un-
canny She said: "The eye, the nose,
the lips and the eyebrows disclose more
character than the combined conclusions
of phrenology and palmistry. You may
disguise the lines of the hand and alter
as you can disarrange the external pro-
jections of the cranium but the evil
dences in the face are as irrevocably
true as the law5 of the Medes and the
Persians. If you doubt this let me set

The TeIItaIe Eyes
"Inasmuch as you cannot find two
pairs of eyes alike it is impossible to
set down fixed set of rules, but with
the other evidences that aid the student
an almost invariably accurate deduction
can be made.

ness to work. Their owner is also likely

deep set seyes receive Impressions ao-
curately and definitely.
Great thinkers usually have had cold
gray eyes, for gray is the color for
shrewdness and talent. Eyes of this
description generally indicate better
heads than hearts.
'Green eyes are rare and are seen
more frequently in women than men.
They disclose courage, energy and pride.
Occasionally they accompany Jealous

Now let us look at the eyebrow
