casually the people he meets in day
he will be impressed with the panied
and sullen and disagreeable counte-
nances. We live in a rush, and the
average person is bent on some err
rand or business and is absorbed in
that; we are all rushing to get some
thing or somewhere. With this alb.
sorbing our attention we haven't
time to attend to our facial express
sion. We are not sure, however, that
this is matter Of permissible indif.
ference. If one does not believe that
his countenance adds to or detracts
anything from the lives or expressions
Of others, let him pause for a moment
before that now celebrated "Billiken."

angles to turn up or down. If mer-
