NEW YORK.-(Special Correspond
~ ence.)-As if we poor femmes
have not enough to worry about
with faces that are a constant source
of concern in maintaining the bloom
we love to acquire by fair means or
skin food, comes man-the basic
source Of all our anxiety, admit it
whether you will or no-right out in
public with the fragrant accusation
we are a two-faced race; that the dis
similarity of the two hemispheres of
the face is distinctly pronounced in
most of us. Be it said in all fairness
to the accuser, however, he projects
his own physiognomy into his charge.
But mere man should worry If his
face is on straight. His only con-
Germ will be TO keep his straight while
we are worrying about ours. OF
course we will. We worry about the
angle of the hat; we worry II the
stocking seam doesn't run a true q
direct course; we worry about skirt
hens and so on and so on.
Some of us nave had our own sus-
picions about this dual facial career.

Causes of Marked Variation
A current QeHLdI pcEIVuItdi icO
right up in meeting with the announce
ment that the dexter and sinister sides
of our otherwise perfect ovals are
neither equal to the same thing nor to
one another: that the muscular &C
ton of the right and left side is fire.
auently so different as TO contribute
marked variation to the face.
But with the dental wisdom of the
day which cannot be ignored, they
open our mouths and look therein for
the reason; at the same time granting
certain habits of smiling and facial
contortions contribute t 0 the unevenly
balanced face.
In a recent French art journal the
lament was registered that few people
present q properly balanced face, one
or the other side being ~lifeless. char
acterless, and, above all, smileless.
Lessons In Diplomacy
All photographers will testify that
their subjects have a side better than
the other; no successful one ever
guilty of saying the other side is not
good, too. Which reminds me of the
lesson in diplomacy given by a sales
manship expert. He illustrated his
point with the story of the unsuccess-
full young salesman who said to his
fair patron, Your right foot is larger
than your left" whereas the wise
young clerk remarked, Madam, your
left foot is smaller than your right"
Which brings about the observation
that with many of US it is not only. one
side of the face which differs from
throughout the whole side of the body
one eye being stronger: II land
and foot requiring the more comfort
able fitting shoe and glove.
Favor Right Side of Mouth
With rare exceptions we are g right
handed race, from which dentists draw
enc deduction, not without statistical
basis. that we favor the right side of
the mouth a Id give it more exercise
in the chewing of food, which induces
peridental development and keeps the
teeth in healthier condition than on
the left, resulting in a better contour
of cheek and chin on the dexter side.
Their statistics prove the left side
decays and inflammations than the
right side of the mouth; that the left
side possesses the greater number of
crOwns. bridges and partial plates and
the greater number of Filings.
You may gather some little statis-
tics of your own and see IL this has
not the sound of reason. l think it
mas. And i would suggest that the
worrying about the side of the face be-
ing uneven be confined to the condi-
ton of the teeth.
Dental Surgery Remarkable
What misSing teeth or artificial den
lures worn TOO long without readjust-
ment will do toward changing a fairly
robust cheek into a drunken, ema-
ciated one is seen only too often. Deep
burrows and wrinkles advertise the
shrinking process going on beneath,
even in younger folk.
Dental surgery has made such re-
markable strides in the last few years
that faces may be practically remod-
eled by its aid. Even dropping mouth
