Making Ones Self Ugly

What a very big difference for bet ter or for worse the expression can make in a face!
 Beside me on the trolley the other day sat woman who, at first glance, seemed to me extraordinarily ugly.
 Then I looked again and saw that half the unloveliness of her came from her position and expression. She had one hand at her face and was pulling out her lower lip. Her brows were knit in deep thought, and, however well that sounds in fiction, in fact it is a very unbeautiful trick. Her should CTS were stopped forward. She would never have been pretty, she had a very large nose and a coarse skin, but she would not have been ugly enough to draw a second glance of distaste if she hadn't distorted her face by her expression.
 Keep the Hands Away From the Face.
 Children ought to be trained not to put their hands to their faces. The skin of the face is delicate and suffers unnecessary contamination from the dirt and germs which the hands are likely to carry.
 Rubbing the eyes is a particularly vicious trick of this sort. l know a girl who lost half her eyelashes from an inflammation of the eyes and lids caused by rubbing the eyes and getting germs into them.
 People who talk with their hands in front of their faces are a nui- sance. You have to guess at what they are saying half the time.
 Nervousness is the cause of most Cf these unpleasant tricks. We don't know what to To with our hands, and

! village, Cresthaven, which might suit 1 you. The outside of the place is all right, but the inside needs decorating and do not know how much the owner will be willing to do." we'll take a look at it anyway" b1cky said in resigned tone, which, Hi US affectation of hopeIessness must have stung MT Birdsal. But he made no reply, only turned his car, and we shot back over the smooth roads toward the railroad station.
 At the station we turned and sped along toward the east until our pro- gress was baked by a stile which looked familiar to me. Why, Dicky," I said, this is that pretty little path between the lakes l we saw that day we were here be- ! fore"
 Yes, and here is the impressive l WaterWorks building you so admired," 1 D1cky returned, as MT. Birdsall skill
 fully treaded his way around a siding
 track, and two immense piles of coal,
 and came out on a, pretty little lane 1 along which the first dande1ions were
 growing.
 Another corner and we drew up be-
 fore a place at which Dicky and I
 both exclaimed in admiration Tall hedges of California, privet
 enclosed it on all sides. They wara 1 bare of leaves, but one could see thai
 when the summer came the occu- i pants of the place would be in as ! complete seclusion as if living in an
 old world walled garden. The house
 was a picturesque, rambling affair. a.
 two-story and attic structure, with an ir,oy, o+o1x,
 three sides of it. The lower part of
 the house was painted white, the
 upper part was of shingles, un- { painted, which the winds and rain l had brought to weather-beaten l gray, most fascinating in it's effect l Just think of anybody around here 1 having sense enough to leave those
 shingles unpainted,' Dicky said in an 1 awed tone Most of these houses have sky-blue or orange upper 1 stories'' l Probably the paint or the money
 ran out with this one," suggested MT. l Birdsall dryly, and then resuming his
 professional manner: "Would you l like to look inside?"
 l "Grace Draper-Know Her?' l "Of course" Dicky said with alac- 1 l a fireplace, it's ours. Look, Madge!' j helping me out of the machine, right l here at the left we'll have a tennis court, this stretch of lawn Is plenty
 big enough, over at the right you can
 have all the flower beds you want
 and there ought to be a garden at the back" He turned to MT. Birdsall in-
 quiringly.
 1 About half an acre." the little 1 agent replied. Hello, Peter"
 We turned at the note of greeting
 to see a long lanky person with a, quid l cf tobacco in his mouth and broad
 smile on it, which he was trying to l harmonize.
 Mrs. Graham, this is MT. Brennan, the owner of the property Mr.
 Birdsall ignored the pleasantly, MT. Graham, Mr. Brennan"
 Come right on in," he said
 heartily.
 "In just minute,'' Dicky returned.
 'Jove, Madge, take a look at those pines. They ought to add a thousand
 dollars to the value of this place II 4 AI- x<>nASE

By $ ADELE GARRISON

How Dicky Found 'His'' House.
 "New trot out your houses said Dicky to MT. BirdsaH.
 The little real estate agent an- swered without turning his head. First ones right here."
 The machine drew up in front of a pretty little house with a small lawn in front of it.
 Nix Dicky exploded. You don't needAto waste your time on this one"
 Why" MT. Birdsall stammered, don't you twant to look at the inside of it? It's "a peach, built by the owner himself, handsome fireplace in
 the living room, and all that sort of thing Dicky hesitated at the mention of the fireplace. I knew that was one
 of the things hef wanted particularly l lr house. But he finally shook his l head.
 | ''I want fireplace" he said t'but
 not in a house with this kind of set ting. Why, there isn't a tree any where around the place." 1 MT. Birdsan gave deprecatory 1 little cough. What do you call 1 those evergreens in the yard?' he l asked mildly.
 Shrubs Dicky retorted, "mere
 shrubs" and, indeed, they were little 1 else. T want lots of trees, big 1 tall ones, and there are certainly 1 places on Long Island with 'em.'' | "Yes, I think we may be able to 1 find you a few MT Birdsal1 re-
 marked, dryly. "so you don't care to look at the place?''
 Not much," returned Dicky de- l cidedly, and then, seemingly as an 1 after thought unless you want to see the inside of 1t, do you, Madge?" l "No thank you,"~I returned, try ing not to show in my voice the hurt
 I felt at Dicky's fragrant discourtesy. | From his attitude I might have been l a casual companion with no interest 1 in the house, instead of the woman who might live in it. The house
 looked exceedingly attractive to me.
 I should have liked to have seen the
 inside of it.. And while I shared 4Dicky's love for trees, I knew that we | should consider the comfort of the house first, if not for our own sakes, then for that of Dicky's invalid 1 mother.
 | But Dicky was in perverse mood ! MT. Birdsall patiently piloted us up 1 one street and down another, pointing | out dozen or more places, some at | tractive, others so obviously unde- l sirable that I did not blame Dicky for l not liking them. But he refused i'm ] partially to look at anything Mr. 1 Eirdsall exhibited. I began to feel l sorry for the little agent who evi-
 dent1y was trying his best to find | something for us.
 l "We'H Take Look" 1 "That's all I have in the town l here" MT. Birdsall said at last re- signedly, anything within any | reasonable distance of the station. I l take it from what you've said, you
 want something like the place Durkee rented'
 That's it exact1y,'' Dicky replied, | while I inward1y groaned. Whatever | would we do with an immense house and lawn like that? l tried mentally
 to compute the cost of keeping 1t up
 in addition to the enormous rent l
 vas sure we would have to pay, put

 Can You Let Your Hands Be
 Gracefully Idle?
 The person who can let his hands lie gracefully in his lap or on the arms of the chair has acquired oue of the fine arts of social converse. A short course (short, because everything has to be short in these days) in expression and repose would benefit most of us.
 I looked around the car after analyzing my unlovely neighbor and saw at least half a dozen more men and women who were distorting their faces in one way or another.
 The people who were reading werc the most free from disfiguring expres- sions. They were interested, and when we are interested we are apt to look more intelligent and be less nervous and i'll at ease.
 Some of These Weeds of Ugliness Have
 Deep Roots.
 Some unlovely expressions are the result of inward unloveliness. When sin is in the heart it leaps out on the face" Such unhealthy states of mind as discontent, sensuality, meanness, etc, stamp themselves on the face. But there are other disfguring cx- pressions that are only unnecessary facial tricks. These are weeds whose roots are just under the surface and which could be pulled up with little effort.
 Self consciousness is an unpleasant trait when one has too much of it, but we need enough to control our ex- pressions and not make ourselves un- necessarily hard to look at.
