Show Ears. "1 don't know whether there is any inch science as aurology, ' ' said a young lady of observation, "but I find it a very safe and useful thing to take note of tny friends' ears.

There's a whole world of telltale indications there, and it would be a good thing if young girls were to form the habit of casting a glance at that part of the anatomy of their callers and admirers and make a mental note for their own guidance by what they see there. "If the top of the ear lies close to the head and the ridge is straight or only gently rounded, the young man that owns that kind of ear may be counted on as being eminently proper and as harmless as a lamb'. Butfif 'the top starts away from the head at a well defined de-fined angle and runs up to a point before be-fore turning down to become the back ridge of the ear well, that young man had better be kept at a good safe distance. dis-tance. That's the faun ear, the satyr ear, and when those wise old Greeks and Romans gave to the capering companions compan-ions of the nymphs of the woods goat legs and goat ears they knew what they were about. Men haven't changed one whit either, and that point to the ear is just as full of character and warning today as it was when Bacchus was doing do-ing business at the old sign of 'The Rollicking Rol-licking Rams.
