Clues to Character
Mouths.
BY j. o. ABERNETHY.

Did you know that there is more
character indicated in a large mouth
than in the small one? We make our
mouths, and when once formed, they
will tell on us no matter how tightly
we keep them shut.
In lips that are coarse and irregu-
larly formed, we at once can tell that
this individual has strength combined
with rudeness. If the lips are mar
row and drawn in tight, there will be
lack of sympathy and affection.
Mouths slightly open depict a frank,
outspoken nature.
Smooth lips, though probably often
loving, should not be trusted too far
In trouble they are likely to turn on
you. Pale, thin lips are cold and un-
responsive. Moist, red lips are sin
cere and loving. A closed mouth, with
lips drawn backward, indicates self
control. Impulse opens the mouth and
protrudes the lips. In closed lips there
may be degree of passion, but an
accompanying strong will generally
restrains 1t. But in protruding lips,
passion is the stronger and will have
it's way

TREES"
work to be done you never find Paddy
loafing.
You remember that Peter Rabbit
found Paddy some distance up the
Laughing Brook. and that Paddy said
he was looking for trees. A week
later Peter discovered Paddy as far
down the Laughing Brook below his
pond as he had been above it when
they met before.
Il suppose" said Peter, that you
are still looking for trees"
Il suppose I am" replied Paddy
gravely nodding his head.
What was the matter, didn't you
find the right kind up the Laughing
Brook" Peter inquired.
Some" replied Paddy. Il found
some of the right kind
well, for goodness sake, how many
trees do YOU want?" demanded Peter,
to whom the idea of taking a whole
tree for food seemed very like greed,
to say nothing of taking several trees.
Enough" ;" replied Paddy. Il might
as we'll have none at all as less than
enough"
How many is enough?" demanded
Peter.
THAT depends on how big the trees
are, and how well they can be cut up
and floated to my food supply re-
piled Paddy. "A lot of small trees are
better than a few big ones. They are
easier to cut down, easier to cut into
logs after they are down, and easier

knowledge he afterward acquired in
his work of building streets and sew
erS for the city.
From the position as a member of
the Common Council of old Washing
ton, which Shepherd held in 1861, he
rose steadily in public life. He oc-
cupied in turn, the position of alder
man. 1870; vice president of the Board
of Public Works, 1871: Governor OF
the District of Columbia 1873.
The deplorable condition of Wash
ington after the Civil War, when its
alleys were narrow. its sewerage in
adequate and it's streets lacking in
grade, or so torn up by war traffic
as to he almost impossible. caused
agitation of the question of the wis
dom OF moving the Capital to q more
suitable city. 1t is conceded that the
improvements made by Gov. Shepherd
settled this question for all time
As the $4,000. 900 debt for this work
was assumed by the 10000 people of
the city as Government bondholders
or taxpayers. the tina ncial burden was
heavy. Taxes We're so high that
Shepherd was made a target of sharp
criticism and unjust accusation. These
We're the circumstances under which
Congress repealed every provision for
a governor of the city a legislative
assembly, board of public works and
delegate to Congress. 1t took away
from Washington every opportunity
OF elective franchise and appointed
three Commissioners to govern the af-
fairs of the city.
The statue of Gov. Shepherd was
erected through the efforts of the
Shepherd Memorial Association, of
which Theodore w. Noyes was chair
man In a tribute to Shepherd,
written by Mr.. Noyes. he declared that
the governor was force personified
and that his devoted loyalty to Wash
ington will live forever

new frock or wrap-fur of a grade
with which they would not be satisfied
We're they considering a fur coat or
separate fur scarf. However, we are
becoming gradually more discriminat-
ing even in this matter. The time
has almost gone when a woman of
fashion will accept an expensive frock
or wrap from a renowned dreSSmaker
without making a protest that the
peltry with which it is trimmed is
common rabbit, or perhaps backyard
cat.
And speaking of furs, you may be
interested to know that in France at
present the fur coat that every wom-
an dreams of owning and which those
who can afford it do possess is Of
natural color mink.

Fay was beginning to feel more like

face at Deans careless remark.

with a sudden lifting of her head and
a return of her dashing manner.
But poor Mr.. Hampton had no hand

SUB ROSA
RY MIMI.
Why Isn't He a Sheik?
RY MIMI.

Lots of complaints in the mail this
week. and a great many of them on
the same subject. Boiled down they
all sound like this:
When we first went together I
always noticed he was rather re-
served. but l thought that. after
| we'd gone together for some time his
shyness would wear off, and he would
be more ardent. Nothing like it. He
gets more and more settled. l know
| he loves me. but it's not very eXcit-
| ing to go with a man who just takes
| you for granted and never acts really
crazy about YOU Why can't my
| Romeo be more of a real sheik?'
Ye gods, We women are never sat
| isfied. When one of us happens to
| land a real sheik with burning eyes
| and fiery words of love, she's on ten
ter hooks all the time for fear some
other woman will get him.
The sheiks of the world don't make
the best husbands, you know, girls.
| How do you suppose they acquired
| the technique of making love so beau
| tifully without a great deal of prac-
tice?
And if they'd had lots of practice
they'll want more-in fact. it will
| dawn on you some fine day that
| you're being practiced on yourself.
The man who doesn't know how to
make pretty speeches and emote all
over the place is very apt to be
novice at the love game.
And being new and shy, he'll usually
be only too glad to grab his prize
| and drop out of the game entirely.
When man is too reserved to be
sentimental about you or his feeling
for you, it's a pretty good sign that
If you fall in love with him as he
is-a quiet, shy, rather inarticulate
person-you shouldn't be hurt and
amazed to find that his characters
tics are consistent with his nature.
Wouldn't you be startled if your
dull. settled" sweetheart suddenly
burst into poetry about the beauty of
your eyes?
You'd probably be awfully suspi-
cious and furiously jealous of the in
fluence which prompted his outburst.
You can't fall for a nice ditfident
boy and expect him to turn into a
Don Juan just to please you. The
average American boy would look
pretty silly doing the desert love
Iscene-Somehow he's not built that
way.
There are nations. you know, where
all the men are sheiks-or what we
call sheiks. They spend all their time
making love to any one who will
listen.
And the women of their country
get 50 fed up with this type of
cavalier that they cry for a nice re-
served American whose emotions are
too sincere and deep to talk about.
If you love your unsentimental
hero. just be glad that he loves you--
and don't pine for elOquent speeches.
If he once started being eloquent
he might get into the habit, and
heaven knows where it would end.
You have the consolation now of
knowing that if he can't overwhelm
you with the beauty of his language,
there isn't much chance of his doing
it to anybody else.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
