PHONB I15w FLETCHER JOHNSTON, EDITOR SUBSCRIPTION RATE $1.00 A YBAR Stratford, April 23, 1926 THE FACE YOU WEAR "Be careful," exclaimed an old man te a small boy, who was pouting and fretting because rain had forced him to come indoors from his play, "I've heard it said that if the wind should change, your face would stay that way." The little fellow glanced across to the mirror. The pout changed to a icok of surprise, then the dimples showed ,and the little face assumed once more its sunny aspect, writes Anne Guilbert Mahon, in The Onward. "What nonsense,' says some one, Ria, tell a child a thing like that."' But there is sense as well as non- sense in the old saw: The wind may not cause the change, it 4s true, but the child who habitually pouts when things do not please him will soon ac- quire a sullen look. His face will change from a naturally cheerful, lappy expression, to one of sulky dis- content, which will make deeper and deeper impress as the years pass, un- vil at last the face is that of a sour, grouchy old man. : The face you "wear" is something entirely different from your natural one. it is a face you make for your- self. As you walk along a crowded street note the faces which the pass- ers-by have made for themselves You can easily detect the man with the constant chip on his shoulder, who .is always looking for--and _ findimg-- slights and misunderstandings. The cynic is apparent from the lines about his mouth, chiselled deep from the habit of giving way to scornful, sar- castic thoughts and speeches. Almost "size up' the person who is inquisi- tive and prying by the crafty little marks around the eyes, and the habit of screwing up that feature. on the instant, you can You recognize at once the man with the shifty, guilty look, who is asham- ed to meet the honest gaze of his fel- low men, and who glances about ina restless, uneasy way. He has "made" this look through the years by deeds of which 'he is ashamed, which he tries to conceal from Others, but which are stamped indelibly on him jy the face he "wears." You can usually tell the mtensely selfish, self-centred person by the ex- pression of his mouth, the look of self- absorption, and his general air of "vetting ahead' of pepole, of obtain- ing what he wants at the expense of every one and everything else. : The gloomy, pessimistic individual is recognized to every one by the is plainly discernible by the twinkle in his eye, the "laughing lines" about bis mouth: and eyes, and the genial expression of his face. There are so many different kinds cf faces that people wear, some of them entirely different from the faces which were theirs origmally, faces which they have made for them- selves. What kind of a face are you wearing? What kind of a face are you making for yourself? FOLKS ARE LIKE BOATS. Some folks are like row-boats, for they have to be pulled wherever they go. Sometimes it is a hard struggle to keep them pointed in the right direction. Others are like sail-boats. If the wind blows east, that's their direc- tion. If it blows west, they go that way. Of course, it is possible for them to "beat against the wind," but they don't often do it. They are in- clined to follow every wind of emo- tion and popular sentiment. Others still are like poOwer-boats who drive against the wind or tide and, in the face of great difficulties, keep their even course. Which will you try to be like?-- Enormous Change in 40 Years The subjects which now _ interest diplomacy shave changed so enor- mously during the short forty years that I have had anything to do with the business that the out- look of the various Foreign Of- fices or State Departments, of the world, has perceptibly altered. The great change that has come over them has been the conviction that economic causes dominate history and that if you want to find the cause of conflicts between countries you can generally say with truth, "Look for the dollar, or the franc, or the pound, or the goods that you purchase therewith."--Sir Esme Howard, - Brit- ish Ambassador to the U. 8S. natured person, who looks for. the good in people and in circumstances, Willys-Knight and Overland Cars THE BEST VALUE IN THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD AT THE NEW LOW PRICE!
