Unsymmetrical Faces.

AS every one knows. the two sides
of ones face are not exactly alike.
One side is a trifie larger or differ
emily modelled from the other. This
difference is not noticeable in most
cases and may be offset by arranging
the coiffure so that most of the hair
Is on she smaller side Of the head
The center part couture should be
avoided, because, of course, 1t empha-
sizes the dissimilarity between the right
and left sides of the face.
Lack of symmetry in the face may
affect the mouth 50 that one corner
droops while the other is straight.
Sometimes one nostril is wider than
its mate and the nose twists to the
side. There are few people with
eyes of different colors-one blue and
the other brown. These peculiarities
are usually inherited. While nothing
can be done to change the eye color,
irregularities in the other features may
be corrected. Crooked noses may be
Strengthened by a surgical operation
and f1eshy tips may be nodded to some
extent by massage. The dropping
mouth may be trained to turn up.
Sometimes the dissimilarity between
the sides of the face is acquired
through an accident or the loss of
teeth When the back teeth are miss
ing on one side that cheek says down.
Absence of front teeth makes the lips
fall in A morbid growth in the nose
may alter its shape. A dropping eyelid
due to strain makes one eye appear
smaller than the other.
The differences between the two sides
of the face become more evident as
one grows older. If they can be cor
rected early it should be done. before
the shrinkage of the simultaneous fat
makes them more conspicuous. The
nervous habit of narrowing one eye
and cooking the eyebrow may be

always wins. This is the basis for sur
vival and supremacy in the struggle
for life. Other things being equal, the
animal that is best adapted under the
given conditions wins over the one less
favored in that respect.
In this sense being fascinated by
power is the same as being fascinated
by life and the desire to live.
We all like to be on the winning
side. especially when it comes to WIN
ming life itself and the opportunity to
add to the enjoyment of that life by
additional opportunities and capacities.
Power means the self expanded. The
desire for life is strong in all of us,
but the desire to live the expanded life
is stronger still. 1t is more of the
same thing and can't help being cor
respondingly strong by the very nature
of the case. If we love life We are
bound to love a fuller expression of
that life.
Our enjoyment of power is possible
only because consciously and uncon-
sciously We identify ourselves with 1t
and get thrilling sense Of elation and
expansion.
We are fascinated by power because
the more of it we have the greater our
sense of self importance. the more
thoroughly we are alive and the more
truly do we experience and express the
satisfaction of living.

the invitation, in such words as these

ing up is done in guest book covered

Columbus ships or another resembling
it. When this is done the hostess gives
each member of the crew his papers.
They contain the directions. "Heave

At each table the hostess has a pic
ture of the ship illustrated which is
to be used as a model The guests,
four or six at a table, receive paper,
paste, and box of water-color paints,
or crayons. If paints are used, there
should be several inexpensive brushes
for use. The ship is drawn, cut out
and pasted or pinned at the stern"
A gong is sounded at the end of the
time stipulated for the making of the
craft. And. according to the numbers
of the tables, each crew of persons
who have worked together enters a race

while an ocean lies over a smooth floor
or long table surface Fans, to create

bring them to harbor. The one arriv-

or book about the sea, or of early

After this. the boats, each bearing
the name of the maker, are collected
and the one judged most artistic wins
a prize also. While this decision is
being made refreshments are served.

prated american author. whose most popu-
eIndes Rip Van winkle.,.' his Conquest Of
granada" and Tales Of Traveller, and
from which the present selection is taken.)
Wilhelmus Kieft was a great legis-
lator upon small scale. He was of an
active or rather busy mind. That Is
to say, his was one of those small but
brisk minds which make up by hustle
and constant motion for the want Of
great scope and power.
He had, when quite youngling, been
impressed with the advice of Solomon:
GO to the ant, thou Sluggard con-
slider her ways and be WISE" In con-
formiw to which he had even been of a
restless, ant-like turn, worrying hither
and thither, busying himself about little
matters, with an air of great impor-
lance and anticipating up wisdom
by the morsel, and often toiling and
putting at grain of mustard seed under
the full conviction that he was moving
q mountain.
Thus. once upon a time, in one of
his fits of mental hustle, which he
termed elaboration, he framed an I'M
lucky law, to prohibit the universal
practice of smoking. This habit he
proved by mathematical demonstration
to be not merely heavy tax on the
public pocket but an incredible con-
sumner OF time, a great encourager of
1dleness and, OF course. deadly enemy
OF the prosperity and morals of the
people.
Inflated Kiefti Had he lived in this
enlightened and libel-loving age and at
tempted to limit the inestimable liberty
of the press, he could not have struck
more closely on the senSibilitieS of the
millions
The populace were in as violent a
turmoil as the constitutional gravity of
their department would permit-a mob
OF factious citizens had even the hardi-
hood to assemble before the governors
house, where, setting themselves reso-
lutely down like beSieging army before
a fortress, they one and all fell to smok-
ing with determined perseverance that
seemed as though it were their inten-
ton to smoke him into terms.
The testy William issued out of his
mansion like wrathful spider and de-
manded to know the cause of this sedi-
cation. To which these surly rioters
made no other reply than to loll back
phlegmatically in their seats and puff
away with redoubled fury. Whereby
they raised such murky cloud that
the governor was fam to take refuge
in the interior of his castle
The governor Immediately perceived
the object of this unusual tumult, and
that It would be impossible to suppress
practice which by long indulgence had
become a second nature. In fact, smok-
ing was inseparably connected with all
the affairs, public and private, of our
revered ancestors. The pipe, indeed,
was never from the mouth Of the true
born Nederlander. It was his COM
panion in solitude, the relaxation of his
gayer hours, his counselor, his consider.
his joy. his pride-in word, he seemed
to think and breaths through his pipe.

himself Of all these matters, which he
certainly did, although little too late,

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO


Power is fascinating. Each express
sion of power has its peculiar charm.
Every form and manifestation of power
excites interest in the human breast.
We are fascinated by power primar-
lily because it indicates success from the
biological and evolutionary point Of
view.
Superior force and power always win
over inferior force and power in the
same category This is not equivalent
to saying that might makes right or
that might always wins. Might in this
sense is power that has to reckon
with other forms of power, such as
moral forces which may more than off,
set the sheer brute force minus the
moral quality that is so essential in
building up fighting morale.
But If we stick to any specific type
of power we find that the superior force

Have a single small curl in front of

Another way to reduce the apparent
size Of the larger side of the face is to
make a low side part on the small side,
brush the hair smoothly over the crown
and forehead, and allow the ends to
curl up on the temple and cheek on
the larger side. Curl the small section
of hair so that it is short and fluffy
