looking, or the reverse, as that life has
been good or evil. On our features the
fine chisels of thought and emotion are
eternally at work. Beauty is not the mo-
nopoly of blooming young men and of
white and pink mt ids. There is slow
growing beauty, which only comes to
perfection in old age. Grace belongs to
no period Of life, and goodness improves
the longer II exists.
