Clues to Character
Ears Denote Expression.
By J. o. ABERNETHY,

well formed ears, neither too small
nor too large, are found on persons
OF refinement and great strength Of
character. Ears that are eccentric in
form. large, fabby or thick, are usu.
ally found on murderers and other
criminals.
The ears are natures watch
towers. Things that happen in the
outside world are telephoned to the
brain centers through the ears They
are inlets of sound waves. AS these
roll in upon the rocks of the human
world, so do they communicate to the
soul the tempest or calm commissions
or harmonies, discord or sweet ca
dences of the ocean of life as they
break along the shores of the human
organization.
If the human organization is
coarse, the ears will be coarse; II
large-boned. the ears will stick out
Fine and delicately nodded ears in
dictate a well bred person. Large.
very thick ears are found on persons
with thick heads and dull minds.
Practical and talented persons pos
sesss well developed, long and finely
nodded ears.
Ears that stand we'll out have more
expression than those that do not If
they stand very much out, you may
expect greater alertness than
strength. more timidity than courage.
Heroic persons have long and large
ears. expressive by the projection Of
their upper lobes.
Those who are versatile. intuitive.
industrious, refined and mentally
alert may not have such ears. but
they will be perfectly modelled and
harmonious in proportion.

Fashion Changes Are Hard to Find
BY MARY MARSHALL.

hesitate to wear these new home
made fashions. They remember the
time when the American woman who
had bought clothes in Paris came
back with something to make her
neighbors look up and gasp. By a
trip abroad she could get good six
month start of her American asso-
ciates.
But times have changed enormous
~ Smart London women who liked
to dress in the Paris mode run over
to Paris and back for days shop
ping trip-or. rather, they fy-and
new fashions are sent by cable de-
scription to America and new frocks
are shown within a week of the time
they are first conceived in the Paris
workrooms. They are available In
American department stores usually
quite as soon as in the Paris maya
zinS.
Moreover, fashions honestly are not
changing very rapidly at present.
The Partisan seems to be supremely
contenteds with the general stamp of
fashion as 1t is. We Americans can
get no thrills over short skirts in
Paris, for they are worn even shorter
at home.
A sort of postwar desire for peace
and tranquility seems to be current
in Paris. 1t is not lethargy, nor dull
ness, but a willingness to enjoy the
things that please. and at present
fashions seem to the French woman
very pleasant indeed.
