Known by the Nose.

The nose is a telling feature. The ■woman who, ; e nostrils are deeply indented will be mean and paltry. Wide no^tiil* ! denote the spendthrift — the woman who J would ruin a man of small means. The j vulgar person is she who-e no.-c h?s a • far- jutting tip ; refinement is .Miown by I that which round? off gently tit the end.

woman, whose love will be almost idolatrous in its intensity She will exhibit a dog-like fidelity to the object of her affections. But if a woman's eyes are large, black, and luminous, lighting up, as it were, her entire countenance, she will be a person difficult to please, her vitality will be marvellous, and the business instinct will be strong within her. She will always succeed t>y sheer force of personality, and will not hesitate to sink the finer instincts inherent in all women in order that she may achieve that which she has set out to obtain. A dangerous woman at the best of times. The mouth is the most instructive feature of the face, says an authority on the subject. It reveals not only a person's j fundamental and inherited traits, but also j her efforts to mould her character in cer- . tain directions. Beware, of the woman with the Cupid's bow lips. She is almost siure to be selfish and unsympathetic, and though she may j be ardent in temperament, constancy is not i her strongest point. ' Lips which, when In repose,' always curve upwards, according to the ' same authority, show that the owner takes very optimistic views of things, and has not, as a rule, had any very deep experiences of life. Full, red lips denote that the owner is fond' of ease and pleasure; and thin, blood.lees lips indicate the person of narrow and unchangeable views, whose besetting failings are obstinacy and self-righteousness. The man or woman whose lips, when in repose, naturally curve downwards, though they may_ not 'be sharply drawn down when the owner's face is animated, is almost always of an earnest, serious disposition, or else has passed through some great sorrow
