WHAT YOUR FACE Tells

If you stop to think about this for
few moments, you will see what a
tremendously important thing it is.
AS sure as you have.a face, the story
of your life will be written on that
face. If you are mean and Grabbed
and disagreeable, your face will set
tie into a disagreeable expression and
everybody will avoid you.' If your
disposition is sunny and kind and
gracious, your face will beam with
goodness, and everybody will know
at glance that you are lovable. And
the older you grow the more dis
tinctly your face will tell the story.
When you go out into the world
to earn your living, the first thing
that people will ask is this: What
kind of boy is he? Or, what kind
of girl is she? Under our present
industrial system the employer has
to teach young persons their trade
after he hires them. So he is more
interested in the applicants charac-
ter than in his present ability. And
the character he will learn from the
face. -. - - ...sz:..
HZ%l H: It is just as director Of the en-
ploynent bureau of a great depart
ment store said to me-" We base our
choice largely on the applicants
looks: To be sure the faces of boys
and girls are not deeply marked.
Many applicants have only begun to
outline on the blank page of
their cheek the picture that will ev-
entually appear there. But even a
sketch tells much" # then our IA
ces have so much to do with our fu:
ture success isn't it worth while to
try to. make them as attractive by
being attractive ourselves?
