After all, is the world so very absurd in
It's love of pretty woman Is woman so
very ridiculous in her chase after beauty
A pretty woman is doing a wOnan's work
In the world, but not making speeches nor
making buildings, but making life SUMMER
and more beautiful. Man has lorsworn
the pursuit Of beauty altogether. Does he
seek ii for himself, he is guessed TO be
+. frivolous, he is guessed to be poetic, there
are whispers that his morals are no better
than they should be. In society rcso-
lutte to be ugly there is no post for ar
AdOnis, but that ola model or guardsman.
But woman does for mankind what man
| has ceased to do. Her aim from child
hood is TO he beautiful, Even rs a school,
girl she notes the progress of her charm-,
the deepening color of her hair, the grow
| ing symmetry Of her arm, the ripcnng
contour of her check. We match, with
silent interest, the mysterious reycrica Of
the maiden she is dreaming of u coming
beauty, and painting for the glories Of
/ eighteen. lnseusibly, she becomes an
artist, her room is her studio. her glass an
| academy. The joy of her toilet is the joy
| of Raphael over his canvass, Of Michael
| Angelo over his marble. She is creating
| beauty In the silence and loneliness of her
l chamber she grows like any art creation.
1 the result of patience, of hope, Of thou
sand delicate touchng9 and rctouchng-.
| Woman is never perfect, never complete.
| A restless night undOcs the beauty of the
dnv sunshine blurs the eyaEcsceht color
| ing of her cheek frost nips the tender out
| lines of her face 10 sudden hnrslurss.
| Care plows his lines across her brow +;
motherhood destroys the elastic brightness
/ of her form the bloom Of her check, the
| quick flash of her eye, fade and vanish as
years 20 by. But woman is still true to
her ideal She won't know when she is
beaten, and she manages to steal fresh vie
| tories even In her defeat. She invents new
| conceptions of womanly grace she rallies
at forty and fronts ms with the beauty Of
womanhood she makes last stand at
| sixty, with the brauty Of age. She falls
| like Caesar, wrapping her mantle round
| her-''buried in wooden 'tWould "a saint
