THE CHARM OF THE KIND HEART.
What is Beauty or Brilliancy When tie
Heart Within is Of Ice?

handsomest women or the cleyercst
women, but to those whom we associate
with gracious deeds and sympathetic
words

our troubles and be sure Of an interest
and sympathy that is genuine that we
love. The woman VINO from sheer KIND
ness Of heart goes out Of her way to give
us pleasure. We love the woman We can
count ON through thick and thin, who

crasies perhaps, has a heart AZ true as
steel to those she has taken into the in
ner circle.

brilliancy in lieu Of it.
