beauty. The fair and the dark, the
blondes and brunettes, all have their
special charms and admirable points.

beauty which is quite as potent as the
other In the presence of a pure and
lovely soul or sparkling intellect and
a delighting disposition one may be so
completely enchanted as TO be utterly
blind to material things, But whatev-
