Sometimes Hard to Tell.

George Eliot says that the express
sion on woman's face when she is
sewing tells the story of the woman's
heart. If she is happy and contented,
or possibly slovenly and Indifferent,
she may smile and look the happi-
ness she either feels or is incapable
of feeling. If she has many things to
worry her and is possibly planning
how to make ten cents do a dollars
worth of good, or if she is naturally a
vixen, it will show in her face, so aft
er all it is not safe to predicate as to
what her sewing face reveals.
