HARD TO READ FACES.

The living face in It's relation to thu

which Is likely to he deceived entirely
by superficial indications. The accurate
judges OF men are extremely scarce;
their gift Is one which should invari-
ably lead them TO success if they are
blessed with half an opportunity.
The appraisal of character by photo
graphic evidence may be as erroneous
as that which is based on the living
face. but at least the photograph gives
opportunity for continuous study and
shows none OF those shifting moods
which are sure to confuse the iudg-
nent. The camera catches it's subject

moment. IL may be an inopportune
