DEAR III. L. G. FRIENDs-How pleasant
It looks to see you collecting again around
the cheerful freside. 1t was rather cool
out in the forest among the drifting leaves
and the waving golden rod and | thought
/ would enter your circle and if anyone
CHANGED to remember me L would remain
and chat a while with you.
Yes, it is "Flossie," Cheerful Invalid"
and allow me this seat at your right while
tell you how have been longing to hear
you all chatting so pleasantly again. YES
/ am glad the Howard club is not dead
and / never for a moment thought OF
withdrawing membership from it. although
: several have attempted to persuade me to
I do so; but all such attempta have been
met with my greatest indignation. Did
some one say there had been no tears shed
in regard to the matter? If so, let me tell
YOU there were tears and tears shed
at the foot of the forest near
"Ferndale." when "Flossie" found she
was commanded to keep silent and let
others do all the talking, but if you will
only have patience she will make up for
lost time.
will nov say few words in regard to
personal Beauty" We all know beau
tifuI person Is the natural form OF a beau
tiful soul. No matter how plain the feat
ures of person with great and generous
soul, the face will become beautiful In the
ewes of all who come in contact with 1t.
While a vacant mind takes all the mean
ing out of the fairest face, a sensual dispO-
sition deforns the handsomest features.
A cold, selfilh heart shrivels and distorts
the best looss. A mean, groveling spirit
takes all tbs dignity out OF the figure and
all the character ont of the countenance.
A cherished hatred transforms the most
beautiful face into an image OF
ugliness. 1t is impossible to pre-
serve goot looks with a number of bad
passions. I set of low-loves reigning in the
heart anil a disdalnful, selfish spirit en-
throned in the will. Wickedness and
beauty will no more keep company great
while than poison will consort with health.
The experiment. of putting them together
has been tried thousands of years with
one uIvarying result There is no sculp-
tor like the mind. There is nothing that
so ref1es and ennObles face and mien as
the constant presence OF good and great
thought. The person who lives In the
region of ideas becomes idealized. There
are 70 arts which can contribute 1.-THE
so much to the loveliness, the dignity, the
ennJbling of a persons looks as a noble
principle, high determination, great
purpose and an all-pervading disposition
of tndness in the heart. Affection is the
organizing force in the human cOnstitu-
tiol- Woman is fairer than man because
she has more affection than man. Lowell
ness is the outside OF love.
Kindness, goodwill and prevailing de-
sire 10 make others happy, make the body
fair dwelling OF the Holy Spirit. The
soul that is full of pure and generous af-
fection forms the features into it's own
angelic likeness, as the rose, by inherent
impulse, grows into grace and blossoms
into perfect lOveliness. which no art can
elual. Now, if we desire to be beautiful,
let us live pure, loving and as near as pos
sble, Christ-like lives; and by so doing
cur souls will not only grow beautiful but
also our faces.
