The hands and arms may be USED
for expression, such as their sudden
droop indicating submission, or the
shrug Of the shoulders may be used
for a hundred things. but of what use
is either without the accompanying
facial expression? The dropping or
lifting of the features of the face
mean absolutely everything in beauty
of expression, and without expression
beautiful face conveys nothing more
to the mind and heart of another in
dividual than does a beautiful picture
Varying expressions chasing each
other over the features of an individ-
ual awaken interest: something be-
yond mere comprehension of a beau
tiful thing There is nothing like
learning the secret of real expression
for the beautifying of any features

GIVE HIM UP.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l have been keeping company
with a young man for two years.
Recently he acts as though he is
tired of me. He does not pay his
debts and does not save anything
up. He asked me to marry him
some time ago, and | promised
him, but as he is now going to the
bad l do not know what to do, as
l love him. DISTRESSED.
Refuse to have anything to do with
him, and, instead of mourning, try to
be grateful that his unworthiness de-
veloped before you were married to
him. Believe me, a few heart pangs
now will be easier than a lifetime of
want and humiliation.
