in April Ladies' Home Journal.

the century, and to have been the most
graceful, was counted by her family an
excessively ugly child. She adored
beauty, and she tells in one of her let.
tiers that suddenly one day, after look
ing at herself, she made up her mind
that she would be charming. And she
said, i studied every hour of my life
to be ugly no longer History tells
bow she succeeded. Adelina Patti was
the Ugly Duckling, it being thought by
her parents that her sister, Carlotta,
was the beauty. Mary Anderson, the
ideal, classical beauty of the last two
decades, was considered in her own
home an awkward, ordinary-looking
girl, rather quiet, for she spent most of
her time reading Shakespeare. George
Eliot never became beauty, but she
forced those people who despised her
lack OF attraction as child to recognize
the great genius of the woman. The
old mammies down South always scorned
pretty baby, and, oddly enough, there
is wisdom in this.
