more than counterbalances all the influences OF sym,
metry and grace, and aflectaton is more preudcial

woman Is disgusting to every person of refinement
and taste for it is a sure proof of an absence n
those virtues and good qualities for which il is n
substitute, or more properly, it is throwing over de-
iects veil SO thin. that the defects are visible
through 1T; and are magnified, and rendered more
deiormed to the eye, through the obscurity of the

placed in their stead.
True female beauty does not consist in any mar
hcuiar form, or external appearance alone but in
symmetry and elegance, together with the assem-
bage or those interesting qualities. which adom and
render their persons permanently pleasing. mere
ek'erhai beauty may attract momentarily, but some
thing else is requisite TO secure the affections the
first impressions produced by mere external beauty
soon wear away but it is the internal worth and
beauty which gives daily increasing permanence In
the social affections. Hence one reason why men
are often reproached with Inconsistency of love their
feelings are interested and their affection excited bv
display of external beauty, but more intimate
acquaintance convnces them that they are destitute
OF the graces and charms which render these eenos
strong and lasting
Let the female then who is DESTROYS to shine as :,
beauty, attend TO intellectual improvement as of first
concern; let her cherish health. which itself is
beauty let her lay aside those foolish and preudi
ciai fashions, which have so much power over per
sons OF disordered minds who conceive that beauty
is best displayed in artificial pale and sckly forms:
let her use frequent and active exercise which gives
health and vlgOr; let her indulge and cultivate
every virtue for every virtue sits with peculiar GRACE
on every female countenancc and let her not forget
religion, the greatest ornament to female worth and
requirements. With these accomplishments beauty
eXerts an influence which extends throughout crea
ton.
