" It Is -the surest hallmark of the gentleman or the gentlewoman. I have seen so many petty quar-11 quar-11 els, undignified exchanges of words, indulged In by well dressed women tend car conductors, with ticket agents, with cabmen, with any one in public service. This trouble Is usually over a transfer trans-fer or a few pennies, and it Is astonishing aston-ishing how .many women will sell their dignity In Such n. way. If the 'trouble is a teal one the thing to do lis to curry the complaint to headquarters headquar-ters rather than descend to a, per onal settlement In a public place. Independent as you may like to be ot public opinion, It fixes your place In the world. So why not fix It in your lulnd that to take your place in the world of ladles and gentlomen fit is necessary to have the deportment deport-ment of u huly? ) Why?ot strive for quiet dignity, for self-possession, and for that gracious-mess gracious-mess of manner which you have so often seen and envied in women of the world? Foi then those who lunc it and those who realize its value will recognize recog-nize you ns one of themselves wher-eer wher-eer jou may be. . Our faces are open diaries. In which any one .may read the record of how we spend our days, what we think, the sort of people we are. When we say of a man that "he has a fine face." or of a woman that "she has a beautiful fuce," we spoak of the life back -of the face. What Is a suier indication of this than "when we see a (child dnaw away from a first glimpse of a person? What Is often so (truly condemnatory ns the lnstlnct-ie lnstlnct-ie remark of a child:' "I don't like her face, mamma"? Not jilwnya true, perhaps, not in every Jnntaneo is the child right; but how often is it unerring!

O'he mind that generally thinks good thoughts, true thoughts, thoughts fit to treasure up," looks . out upon the world through kindly eyes and fair and pleasant features. The face of an evil man or wbrna-n wears a malignant, saturnine aspect, that gives the world a warming of the inner nature. The ejes are more eloquent than the tangue in telling others what we are. We never hide from discerning eyes as much as we sometimes think wo do. Our faces Invariably tell our stories. Perhaps you know a girl whose attractions at-tractions are groat and you sigh and whisper to yourself: "I wish I had her charm." Now pick to pieces tho character ol the charming one and see If by so doing you cannot find out her secret. What is natural to one may be copied by another and studied quietly until it becomes a second na-tuio. na-tuio. What Is charm? Certainly it is never hiddon under a cloak of reserve. Wo are so fond of wrapping ourselves up in this winter win-ter garment that our sunny charms aie often concealed from those round about us. We are so cautious .of others penetrating our roaf hearts and feelings that we appear to outsldors formal and chilly. Just resolve when you meet a stranger to take off that cloak. Let the human note be struck and banish formalities.
