Thero Is somo truth In tho statement, for, when ono comes to think of It, al most any remark ono makes to tho merest acquaintance, oven on a first lntrodutclon. is met by a smile. Thero Is no mirth in It It In only a muscular movement, mado, semlngty, to show polite Interest It reminds ono of the Japnncso woman, who must aways smile, even In the deepest sorrow or distress or minu, and who must novor on any account snow a depressed coun tenance In public, or oven lu tho family circle, should she bo addressed by a rolatlvo to whom sho owes respect. Tho effort to Imltato tho vivacity of cur American sisters Is su posed to bo at the root of the continual smile to be seen on tho countenances of modern women, but a Btnllo alone will never make n countenance pleasing, unless It expresses somo lively Interest or feel ing, Too many sweets clog the appetite, and smiles always In evidence, become valueless and unmeaning.
