DON'T JUDGE BY ExTERNALS
That Physical Appearances or Man.
nerlsms Denote Much Is Denied
by Writer In Woman's World.

Place no dependence upon the
common marks of character as
shown by physical appearances or
mannerisms. One of the strongest
men mentally and spiritually l ever
met had a "weak chin" And a
Square jaw" is as likely to belong to
a bully as to brave man.
One of the most delicate, clever
and gentle writers in America is a
fat, frowsy and very common look
ing woman.
1 know another woman with a
loud, disagreeable voice, and she is
not at all what that might imply,
but is as sweet and modest as one
could wish. 1t is just an unfortu-
nate way.
Discount all the usual signs of a
piercing eye, soft voice, a shy man
ner, an imposing presence, a vicious
ly low forehead, a shifting glance
and all that; judgments formed OF
these things are pretty sure to b
wrong.-Dr. Frank Crane, in Won
ans World.
