The Smile.

The girl who smiles too much makes
as great a 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 insincerity. A smile can
transform a plain face into loveliness,
but it only does this when it is the
outcome of some special emotion. and
not mere aimless parting of the lips.
Smiling to order" or on any and
every occasion, is fatal to charm, and
should be carefully avoided.

register, obtaining 1925 in silver.
The act was performed in the
