that are between the ages of sixteen

Of beauty. but Of age The Youngsters

Read Your Character

No. 2O-The Stiff Upper Lip

One Of the most astounding things
about character reading is the way in
which so many conclusions, scicntifi-

closely with popular ideas on the sub

Occasionally the scientific investiga :
tion proves the popular idea wrong, but
