A CoNsERvATOR OF BEAUTY.
The Power to Throw on the Burds

The Power to Throw on the Burden
of Care.
There is a good old saying: "Hand.
some is that handsome does" which Is
more literally true than many people
believe. There is no cosmetic, no mas.
sage treatment for smoothing wrinkles
from the brow Of care like an ami.
able disposition. If there is one thing
above all others that young people
should be taught to culHvate it is dis
position to look on ths bright side.
There are troubles enough in every life.
Man is born TO trouble as well as joy.
All existeaoe sho<s the ever present
struggle between light and darkness,
evil and good, and alternate success and
failure. 1t takes the strongest faith of
the Christian mother to believe in the
final triumph Of right over wrong All
that the best and wisest men and wom-
en- can do is patiently to do the duties
around and trust God" in spite of ap-
parent failure, that all things will final.
Il work out for the best.
Nothing Is gained, and everything
may be lost, by continual grieying over
the past. Fortunate and happy is that
person who can drop his past troubles
and werk brsyely on toward ultimate
success. Brooding over the sorrows
which we cannot turn aside, grieving
over past losses, not only weahens the
will, but stirs the bile, interferes with
free circulation Of the blood, and clogs
up the complexion and humors. Explo-
sionS OF sudden anger are found by
chemical research to impart a poisonous
quality to the perspiration- 1t is well
known that anger produces marked
changes in the face, drawing the cor
ners Of the mouth and tracing heavy
lines 1t is as certainly true that we
can poison our blood with bad temper
as we can by the use of improper food or
any other deleterious thing.
We sometimes see faces on which
querulous, selfish disposition has left
its mark. The eyebrows are lifted in
stead of gracefully cuving, the corners
of the mouth are drawn down, and
heavy lines are written On the brow; in
fact, the entire countenence is so
scanned that it is approaching the ap-
pcarance of the typical bag. There are
other faces, gentle, fair and lovely-the
expression written upon them telling
OF the lovely souls within, Is surely az
the gentle accent of the voice.
Beauty Of face like this, the reflection
OF the beautiful spirit within, cannot
be gained by life of inaction There is
10 face so surely stamped with the dis
figuring lines of a selfish life as that of
the listless. incident woman who pos
sesses no interest beyond the gratif1ca-
ton OF her love Of ease. The eye be-
comes listless, the features fixed and ex-
pressionless, and the entire aspect
shows lack of alertress and grace. To
cultivate the mind and keep an interest
in living topics Of the day is to keep the
spirits young and make the blood flow
rapidly and the eyes become sparkling
and beautiful. No intelligent woman
who does not allow herself to become
absorbed in her own selfish interest is
in danger OF that mental stegnation
that writes its story in dull. common
place lines on the faces of SO many
women. The remedy
against the lack lister eye. tie dull, |
bilious complexion, the heavy lines that |
scam so many faces, lies in the power
of every woman who has learned to con-
quer her spirit, though when the evil |
marks Of temper and selfshness become |
fixed by habit they are as ineradicable |
as the scars of a saber stroke.-N. Y.
