Others possess a ferocious smile, which suggests the picture-face of a prize bull. dog. I noticed one man who wore a fixed smile like a muzzle. It never varied Il never relaxed. It is a strange fact that some men acquire a mechanical smile which they switch on as if it were slectric light. This kind of sinile does not grow gradually and fade slowly.
