The Smile.

The girl who smiles too much makes
as great mistake as she who smiles
too little, for though she may be only
actuated by an honest desire to
please, she lays herself open to the
charge of insincertty. A smile can
transform a plain face into loneliness,
but 1t only does this when 1t Ia the
outcome of some special emotion, and
not mere aimless parting Of the lips.
Smiling to order" or on any and ev-
cry occasion, is fatal to charm, and
should be carefully avoided
