WHAT THE FACE TELLS.

— How to Read Character Like a Book.— The face, as everybody knows, is the finest index to character. How often does one hear the remark, "I don't like that man. Something in his face tells me he is not a desirable acquaintance," or "There is something about his eyes which I don't like." It is, perhaps, just as well things are so, and the fact that Nature has endowed

us with instinct to diagnose the features of each other must be regarded in the gui?e of a blessing. But there are many ways of penetrating the character of persons by following the laws of science. For instance, if you meet a woman with a very pointed chin, you may depend upon it that she is refined in her tastes ; that her sensibilities are of the most delicate type ; that she is a sceptic, but, at the same time, a woman with plenty of originality. Chins having deep clefts show a lovable d'soccition and a desire to be made a great deal of. Women having this characteristic

make good sweethearts and batter wives, provided their husbands lavish affection upon them. The narrow, firm chin evinces a disposition to love fondly. She who possesses it might be described as the " cosy-corner girl," and she Mill be inclined to flirt very violently, unless chance puts Mr Right in her way at an early age. The ideal chin is that having a narrow square, ending in a fine point, with a well-defined cleft in it. All this would indicate a refined and talented woman, with a great capacity for, and a wholesome responsiveness to, affection.
