LIP WISDOM v In a fashionable girls’ school there is a rule, “use your lips when you talk.” The object of its insistence Is, of course, to produce clear enunciation in place of the slipshod, hard-to-understand, murdered sounds that so often escape the mouths of the youth of our land. Well-exercised lips are naturally so full of colour that the lipstick may be unused in milady’s boudoir. They arc also mobile, thereby giving great charm and interest, and they keep youthful. Fine lines of the upper lip that doom the possessor to loss of youth may be held in abeyance, if not altogether banished, by a well-exercised upper lip. This does not mean a grimace with every word. It does mean sufficient use of the muscles of the lips to keep them well-nourished by exercise. Actresses usually have youthful mouths, though the calendar may tell another taie. It : - because in an effort to enunciate clearly the lip muscles are well used. Voices often become strident in an effort to be heard. Much less nerve force is expended by the one who enunciate!, clearly. She is heard with a minimum of effort and the result is much more pleasing. Never Too Early To Start Of course, many other factors enter into the cultivation of a beautiful mouth. It should start with the watchfulness of the careful mother in babyhood. Fortunately the evil the baby-

pacifier does is recognised in this generation. I know a girl possessing beautiful eyes and a well-modelled face, with the exception of the mouth. It is merely a round, shapeless mass, having what artists call “no drawing.’’ Her mother told me that a pacifier caused it.

Thumb sucking can be nearly as harmful. The intelligent mother knows that and guards against it. The breast-fed baby has a better developed bony structure of the mouth than the bottle-fed.

Modern dentistry works wonders nowadays. No lips stretched over protruding teeth can be attractive, and lips covering crowded teeth are no; likely to be well formed, thoiigh that is not always the case. One man was heard to remark that he never knew whether a girl was pretty or not until he saw her laugh. What The Lips Reveal As a guide to the doctor in diagnosis and as an index to the lips reveal much. The drooping, petulant mouth of a very young and pretty girl may have an appeal, but add a few years and nothing is more unattractive. The doctor says, ‘lnternal disorder”; the reader of character says “A morose and pessimistic outlook on life.” The philosopher may speculate how much one is resppnslble for the other.

Because the lips are so indicative, the woman that is generous and sympathetic, yet merry withal, has lips or' inviting contour. , The sweet lipped girl nearly alway's has a sweet disposition. Lips more truly reveal the real self than any other feature. The only legitimate remedy for an unattractive mouth lies in the reform of the habits which have caused it. A beautiful face can be spoiled i> an unlovely' expression of the mouth. Examples of this are seen every day in the people we meet in the street.

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS To Keep the Geyser Bright A copper geyser is a constant trouble if the housewife tries to keep it polished in the usual way. If, however, a slight smearing of gly’cerine is used to cover the gey’ser it will not require any other attention, but will always be bright and shining. A Kitchen Stove Secret If, instead of blackleading the kitchen stove, one gives it a coal of special black varnish, you will find it will save a great deal of time each morning. And this will not need renewing for quite a month.
