KEEP WATCH ON EXPRESSION
Ones Face Pretty Generally Reveals
the True Thoughts and Feelings
Of ltO Po0seSsOr.

No doubt You would readily recog-
nlze your features II you met them in
the street. You see them In the glass
daily and many times day, and prob
ably you think you study them with
peculiar care. But that Is just the
point. Whenever you see them. you
are studying them. The expression Is
conscious. artincial-the expression Of
a person who II being watched and
studied. You know what the phOtOg-
rapher's "look pleasant" produces.
You know how you feel and can i'm
aglne how you look when you are
aware that someone IL observing you.
Think Of the expressions you watch
on others faces when they are COM
pletely unconscious, not giving
thought to how they look. Some faces
are sweet, kindly, sympathetic, de-
llghtful. Some faces again, often the
same faces, are sad, anxious, dreary /;
others still are harsh. bitter, angry or
selfish. Remember that all those ex-
pressiOns are likely to come on your
own face, too. When you look In the
glass you do not find them there. Your
mere curiosity erases them as a wet
sponge erases figures on a slate. But
they come just the same.
Remember how you love to watch the
kindly look In others and how you
shrink and turn away from the ugly
and the hateful. Perhaps the memory
and the consciousness will help you
to control the uncOmely expressions In
yourself. Or, since expressions are not
easily contrOllable and are In any case
an unfaIling index of the feelings that
produce them. perhaps you will set
more buslly about the task Of repress-
Ing and subdulng feelings that make
faces look as you wish that they should
not.
The great secretary Of war. Edwin
NJ. Stanton, once refused to be intro
