OPPOSITE TYPE.
Now let. us look at Just the
opposite type OF girl, and one,
fortunately, much more common.
She will love anything con-
nected with domestic life. AS a
tiny girl she was always playing
with and fondling a doll. She
loved to help her mother with
the baking and the busting. but,
above all. she loved to nurse and
amuse her baby sister.
She will have much influence
with children. who will love her
and do anything for her. She
will, provided her education has
been attended to, make an excel.
lent governess, especially of very
young children. She can do any.
thing in the house, her true
sphere being the home.
Happy will he the man who
marries her, and happy the chill
dren who call her mother. Her
ambition Is to have homo Of

head are confirmed by the fca-
lures. Noses. eyes, mouths, and
chins are all nodded, as IL were,
