volatility lies in the distance between
the eye and the eyebrow.
Young ladies who insist on trans
forming their eyebrows into those thin
sharp lines should be careful to pluck
the hairs from the top rather than the
bottom Of the eyebrow, so as to make
it's location seem as close to the eye az
possible. for it's the distance from, not
the closeness, between the brow and the
eye which denotes volatility Of tempera =
ment.
Incidentally, volatility does not mean
inability to think, but a lack of ten
dency toward thoughtfulness. It's a
tendency to a habit more than an In
ability. This is an important thing to
remember when facing person who
has such eyebrows, for there is always
the possibility, if not the probability
that the person has realized and cor
rected this habit.
If the high eyebrows are arched il
denotes an artistic and impractical TEN
perament coupled with the foregoing
characteristic. If they're straight /,
indicates a certain modifying element
of practically back of the tendency to-
ward thoughtlessness.

him away and told him he was horri-
BILE for doing such thing and that I
hated him. wouldn't speak to him
sorry that he did 1t and that he hadn't
meant to, but that he couldn't help It
because he liked me. He said he hoped
we would still be friends. Oh. Cynthia.
I didn't mean what said to him be-
even after ne kissed me. He asked me
II l would forgive him and l said
Yes" Then he asked me twice II he
couldn't call some evening and l said

would be correct for me to ask him
Would It? I see him almost every day
