WHAT'S IN A SMILE?
CHARACTER IN TEETH if you want to know a person's character look at his teeth, says "Peritus," an Austrian characterologist. The more civilised a person is, the more impenetrable the mask that hides }>is real feelings. But wo cannot change our teeth. The real he-man, according to this expert, has four almost equal upper incisors, and his chin is usually square. The womanly woman, on the other hand, has a more or loss pointed chin, and her two middle teeth are much larger than those flanking them. The man with large middle incisors has female characteristics, and, therefore, will respond readily to flattery. On the other hand, to flatter a woman with incisors or masculine evenness, is just, waste of time. Similarly, tlio man with female teeth has motherly instincts, while the mas-euline-dentured woman will trv to be "boss." "Peritus'' recommends usine this knowledge in business as well as in private life —also with a mirror.
