AN IDEAL FACE.

Colouring and a fine skin wiil not rnako a tine face stnctlj' beautiful unless the features are regular, and the head and face of perfect contour. V The eyes should be set horizontally, having neither au upward nor a downward inclination, not too far apart nor too close together. The nose should be placed at an even distance between the eyes, joining the forehead inia subtle curve, the lower portion straight, to emphasize the surrounding curves of the cheeks and lips. The "mouth like Cupid's bow" is very beautiful. The distance from the eyes to the tip of the nose, and from there to the chin, should each be one fourth the length of the face; the mouth should be set at onetfhird the length of nose and chin ; the chin should taper lightly to form an oval outline.of face. Nevertheless, with features which do not come up to the ideal, a girl will be considered "pretty" if she haa a smooth, clear skin, bright, animated eyes and good teeth. Life is too shart to crowd it with resent incnl-s. Sometimes it is the man who carries the lantern for others tlat falls into a ditch. If you amuse a man he'll be likely to forgive you for cheating him afterward. Why are bells the most obedient of inanimate things?
