At 79 vears of Age she was siricken with cancer, confined to her bed for nearly a vear, xuffering untold agonies.

One of the principal lines, und one thut s visible in almost every face, is thut which extends from the nos- trils to the corners of the mouth. This line is highly indicative of character, and its depth reveals many important characteristics. Among the most fm- portnat, it indicates a strong develop- ment of the faculty of friendship. Then another prominent line of the face i= the little line running down the center of the upper lip. This line denotes modesty—the deeper the line the stronger does this trait manifest itself. Deep lines, as a rule, indicate a mind that has been immersed in deep study. A smooth, round face without line belongs to a suave, plausible, flat- tering character, However, some- times they make good speculators and politiclans, and manage to get a living without working for it. There are various lines in the face, each having a meaning of its own. ‘There are the miserly lines, the mirth- ful lines and linas of consciousness, Ao No scarlet flowers are asweet scentsd, ~ 1 with the | SUB ROSA BY MIMIL The Selfish Sister. her temper, s a lot of unple and pro- ant | Vivian lost | ceeded to tell T | thi _ | hos ve the most selfish girl in the | world,” she declared passionately. | | “What do you spend your moncy on | Nothing, but vourself. “You have nothing to do with_your {cash but buy clothes and lunches, You never think of any one but your- self. “When you and shoppin you let her pay for her own lu b, when you know perfectly | well th: 1 ought to stand treat | “When 1ts time to give her pres- ents, you get out as ch ply as possi- ble The silly lttle things you give cost_about one-fiftieth of what you spend for an everyday hat “You're cheap where other people arve concerned.
