A Maiden's Fatal Disfigurement

"Did you ever uotice that girl's mouth?" a critical friend said to me at u luncheon the other day. "Yes, and what a pity it is, too; she would be awf ully pretty ii it were not for that one disfigurement," I responded. 'TH teil you just what is the matter with her,'' said my friend. "She is rathershy, you know, and whenever she is embarrassed she draws in her'lower lip and bites it. This habit is fata! to any one's looks and has utterly ruiued the contour of her lower face, which used to be rarely beautifuL Notice how her hin recedes and the Unes that are forming around her mouth. That girl is only 2(1, bat looks five years older. When she is 30. you mark my words, slio will be a perfect oíd bag." Here my friend turned to her salad and coffee while I studied the face of the girl ia question. Sweet, shy, dainty in dress and manner, sbe would indeed have been very beautiful wcro it not for tho one disfigurement. Th is fatal habit had fairly transformed her, and as I watched I notieed that whenever she was addressed the quick color. would come into her face and that she would bite her lips every time without one exception. How I wished that I knew her well enough to teil her how she was marring her beauty and to beg of her to control her fatal habit before it wes too late.- Buffalo News.
