Dicks light brown hair was
somewhat tumbled, as it always
is; his steel blue eyes were, of
course, full of love when his
glance met mine. The upper part
of Dicks face is very strong, and
his chin shows strength, even
with its deep dimple. His whole
physiognomy is rather stern, ex-
cept for the most beautiful mouth
that has ever graced man since
Adonis.
The queer. little, crooked smile
that curls up one corner Is the
most fascinating thing in the
world to me. The lower lip is
perhaps too full to show the pre-
vailing strength of the rest of his
face. Dicks hands are long and
slender, and, although In all the
months I have known him he has
not said much to me about that
part of his temperament that is
poetical, l know that he loves the
