Pretty Mouth

great deal of It by having every flaw in

AS a rule the girl with a good mouth
and teeth does not have TO be told 10
smile and show them often. She usually
Is accused Of being overanXiOUs about
doing il. II always seems to me that
this is n mistake, as there is something
in the formation Of a good moUthful Of
teeth which makes the most natural

she always stretches her mouth from

There's a modern ingenue-a young
girl not yet formally out" as the
phrase goes-who was one OF the most
imposing personalities one has ever en-
countered. Her good looks, her youth
full freshness. her talent for music her
birth. and her large fortune seemed
merely incidental accomplishments of a
serene and radiant character. This
modern ingenue was extraordinarily 81
lent and entirely self-possessed. Her
reticences were somehow more eloquent
than other women-s volubility. and. in
short, If she had not been so exquisite
she would have been somewhat intimi-
