the misfortune Of q slack jaw has
failed to gain the confidence OF

"on the other hand. how about
this fellow with the bulldog jawf"
said DIR. West. See his crooked
CANNES. Would you hire him as q
bank clerk? You would not. and
yet he may be as honest as the
day is long. It's his jaw!
And this fellow here-he
whom you call chinless and there
fore believe to be brainless. He
may have more brains than some
others. out his protruding teeth
give him that vapid appearance.
THE world judges one by, his
looks, and. II his teeth make .is
