conception OF the control OF tho mind
and character over the face. AS char
acter settles upon you and fixes Itself.
| 1t writes its outlines upon your coun-
tenance. Eventually. these lines be-
como AZ fxed as your character.
The gifted artist who desires. for in
stance. to depict avarice and lust. does
not necessarily sketch "a monster from
| the lower animal Kingdom. His GUS
| tom is to take tho face OF human
! being as n subject. Into that face he
writes the lines OF avarice and lust.
| They cannot"be mistaken for anything
| else. 1t Is unnecessary for tho artist
to label his picture The characters
| tics he portrays stand out so boldly
! that they are recognized by every one.
| The artist follows the same rule in
| picturing the other ugly traits OF the
! human character. He can portray them
better and more imprcssively through
| the medium of the human face than
| i'll any other way. With equal success,
he imprintS upon the human face those
characterised everybody admires. In
nocence. courage. virtue, strength. and
all other beautiful traits. can be 80
: strikingly outlined that they are i'm
| mediatcly recognized.
| Every woman Is, in sense, an
| artist. She has the privilege of paint

~
! ugly lines into her face--or she can
! omit them and use the strokes which
leave beautiful Impression. Her char
! actcr guides her hand in the drawing
or these lines. and her thoughts pro

| to determine what her face shall por-
tray. Others will soon label the pic
turc.
Reference has been made TO the face
! as a mask. It can be so used some
times. Maybe Mere was a time when
1t was infallible, but these are the days
Of the N-ray. Ugly thoughts are vis-
bic through the face. The mask is
sufficiently transparent to leave the
i characte in view. The face is not an
infallible shelter for ugly thoughts and
! characteristics
You arc molding and lining your face
to-day. There will be more pleasure
in the work and the outcome OF your
efforts If YOU use only beautiful
thoughts and characteristics Youth
and health may desert you, but the
tracings of your character upon your
face Will remain.
Remember: Not all OF the faces that
portray character and human traits
arc on the walls OF the art galleries.
You will see such faces all around you,
and can read them with ease
Lillian BuSscll's Answers.
r. J.: For inflamed or granulated
lids the following wash is good: Eight
ounces distilled water aud one ounce
| of 30 per cent solution of boric acid
and ten drops spirits of camphor. Mix
ana use in an eye cup every morning.
II the camphor smarts your eyes. dilute
1t with little clear water. BE care
full not to touch the eyes with your
soiled hands. In rubbing the eye, al
ways rub toward the nose. In going
back and forth OH the train car
give your eyes a rest. Reading on
| moving cars is unsteady and strains
! the eyes.
Sarah: I believe tea and coffee arc
far better left alone. Tea, when taken
fresh. in moderate quantity and
strength. is not injurious TO most pco-
pie. 1t is refreshing when one is
weary. Coffee is in no way u food. but
| when ii Is taken at a meal less food is
necessary. because II diminishes tissue
waste 1t has a clogglng action and
| hInders digestion. Too much coffee
has decidedly bad effect upon the
complexion. Cocoa or chocolate are
far more desirable.
Jane: Here is u splendid exercise for
,cNpandng the chest and filling out tho
hollows OF the neck and throat: Rise
upon the toes. inhaling a deep breath,
hold The breath. and throw ii forcibly
against the muscles of the throat and
neck, while YOU count fifteen: then cX-
hale forcibiy with open mouth. and
come down upon the heels. AT first il
may he difficult to hold the breath so
long, but begin with five counts and en-
/ tend il gradually. Repeat ten times
night and morning when there are no
restricting bands about the body. You
| Will see change within two or three
weeks. Try this in front of your
mirror and see how il expands the
throat
