In this morning's mail five letters from young correspondents request remedies and directions for beautifying the mouth. One seeks lips described as kissable, a term I had not previously regarded as distinct from others.
A collage of advice on lips and charm links beauty to inner soul. Massage and alternating hot and cold applications are suggested to improve facial blood flow. The section then shifts to light items: tattoos, theater changes, Isle of Man visitors, thrift tips, and a note promoting a picture in Every Week.
The text discusses how attractiveness of a mouth reflects a person's character. It notes few days ago discussions on mouth improvements but rejects methods aimed at making lips more kissable. It contrasts kissable mouths with pouty or tight lips and links mouth shape to kindness and lovableness of the girl.
