acteristic! arc indicated by certain
quirks, curves, wrinkles and the general
formation of these features. Here are
some of the telltalc signs nnd the mean
ings that are assigned te them:
Much space between the eyebrows
and the eye at the outer corner denotes
great love of enjoyment.
An economic person has long, droop
ing eyebrows, with the upper part of
the nose bread.
Eyebrows that lie wide apart denote
an even disposition. They must net
present n ruffled nppenrnnce te bear this
interpretation.
When the hairs of the right eyebrow
near the root of the nose turn up, a
grateful spirit is shown.
Unfiled, irregular eyebrows that nre
well pronounced and net far from the
eyes, glc intellectuality and irritability,
a net unusual combination.
AVhcn the hairs nt the outer extremity
of the left eyebrow stand up, the sub
ject is likely te believe in creeds and
dogmas; this will certainly he the cuse
when the hairs of the right eyebrow

mere than she could understand. And
et the fact remained thnt this man had
something te de with her II e. A

the future was vague nnd terrifying.
With a shudder of dlstaote shfl heard
the elevator deer clang outside, nnd

Without the Aid of a Needle
Te the Editor of Weman's Feet!
Dear Madam Yeu have helped me
several times before, de I think you can
heln me new. I nm n Rlrl of nine s'enrs.
nnd I would like te de something about
Christmas prescntB I nm net handy
with the needle. I can sew a little, but
net much
I get nn allowance of $1 n week, nnd
I manage te save from twenty-flc te
fifty cents a week.
PUZZLED NINE YEARS.
Llttle calendars nre nice te make, and
you knew you don't haic te be one bit
clever with a needle te make them, be
cause of course, s'eu don't use ene nt
all. Yeu can make them out of card
board, with n little calendar pasted at
the bottom, nnd decorated vi Ith a emall
snafhihet or pretty colored picture Of
course, It would be nice If you could
draw a llttle design en each one, and
color It with crayons. This wouldn't be
hard te de several small squares would
leek well
Bookmarks made of ribbon nbeut nn
Inch and a half wide, nnd with the edges
fringed nt ench end, make pretty gifts.
Yeu could also cut out three blotters e
different colors, tle them together with
ribbon, and paste a plcture en the top
one.

Jessie.
"Oh, I knew," answered (Icrtrudc,
emphatically, "I don't sec hew we'll
ever get It done. My mother thinks It s
awful that wp have te study se much nt
home. She doesn't see why we can t
de it nt school in study hour."
I'm afraid Gertrude's mother Is net
very wise.
She is giving Gertrude the iil"n that
sh.i irf abused because she has te stud

And n girl of thnt age needs only the
least little bit of enceurngement te feel
put upon and badly trcntcd nbeut her

THERE is nothing se hateful te tin
average school girl ns that pleasant
time just after dinner or Just before I
which she has te ruin with a whole let
of dull, tiresome lessens.
She can t see wny uns ami ku t"
why thnt, nnd when her mother

Why doesn't mother keep out of lt.7
In the first place, if she could just

hour, drawing pictures, nnd trying te

Notwithstanding nil the Jokes en the

seems te understand that ple should

sons studied during study hour In
school I
And mero study hours wouldn't sehe
the problem, cither.
SCHOOL girls love te complain about
this, fuss nbeut that and weep ever
the ether tiling.
Many ntethcrs renlire this, nnd let
fhetii light their own batt'es ever their
difficulties.
Hut there nre some, like Oertrude's
mother, who tnkc it all seriously, and
go te see the principal became Jessie's
deportment wns "Very Hnd," and ,ln ,ln
sle said thnt It wnsn't fair beennse she
behnved as well ns nny of the ether
girls nnd they all get geed marks I
Mnry's mother, responding te Mary's
tears, comes angrily je Mary's teacher,
demanding shorter lessens for her little
girl. Hlic doesn't get them,
Alice's mother can't understand why
Alice should be sent nil the wny home
nnd back again te get her composition,
just because she forget tn bring It for
three weeks in succession ; she gees te
the tencher about it, and the teacher has
te explain all about disclpliucilnd obedi
ence and nil that.
YES, these mothers may think a
great deal nbeut the troubles of
their llttlu girls nt school ; they mny
sympnthire very deeply with Gertrude
and Jessie nnd Mnry nnd Alice.
Rut, if they nre wise, they will keep
their thoughts nnd their sympathy
quietly te themselves, until they find out
just what the trouble Is nil about, nnd
whether it really needs help from them.
This kind of treub'c is se often Im
aginary, And It ndds be much te the burden
of teachers and princlpnls who arc al
ready heavily weighted wth troubles of
their own.
