Ears As An Index

Many arguments have been advance,
as to the real reason why Young women
keep their ears hidden from public view,
or even private view so far as that goes,
Recently a man out west. man-a

knowledge of the subject was gained
from many years Of careful and intimate
observation,-ihis man came forth and

that woman's ears are perfect index
to her character and disposition.
That is probably the reason poets have
ceased to sing about their fair ones ears.
Even a poet would not relish the idea
Of looking into the violet eyes of some

Legs" When Patty Went to College"
and all the 'Pollyanna" books.
Poetry still forms prominent part Of
the reading Of women. With the poets
she covers the whole range from Chaucer
TO Edgar Guest and enjoys them all.
In general, il is not so much the tech
nique as the sentiment Of a poem that
appeals to a woman.
Books of a strictly religious nature are
always in fair demand. This class of
books is read by people seeking infor-
nation. They want something that
throws light on the Bible or on religion.
Books of fiction with a weak. goody.

ample Of what a good religious person
should be are now seldom read.
Americanizaiion, child welfare. and
home making are subjects Of wide in

autobiography are in demand
The scope of woman's reading has be

years.

One is probably never so helpless as
when he goes TO have his picture taken.
The very siupendousness of the occasion
robs him OF his faculties and he pre-
sents himself in piliable state To the
photographer, with the drprecatory ncr
yousness of surrender.
If he is masculine, he comes straight
from the barber, in the glory of fresh
shave and haircut, with the talcum
smudged upon his face. and the bando-
line slick upon his hair. He takes the
event less seriously, however. than the
feminine model. and in his haste TO have
it over submits to anything at the hands
of the photographer.
If he were wise, he would allow a few
hours to elapse between shave and pic
ture, and he would not plaster his hair
upon his head. He will not change the
style of his collar or of his necktie, un-
less either is of startling pattern, when
of course, a guieter one must be found.
Women are prone TO make the same
mistake, of visiting the beauty parlor
just before being photographed. No
hairdresser can produce the same grace
and naiuralness that one may achieve for
herself. Nothing can make a picture
more grotesque than an elaborate and
unaccus,omed coiffure. just enough
face powder should be used to remove
the shine which mars some complexions.
Rouge is taboo. for it photographs as a
shadow, and produces the impression of

Eyebrow pencils may avail to give char
