THE BEST BEAUTY DOCTOR
What Mother Can Do to Make Her
Children Attractive in the
Highest Sense"

Every mother is the best beauty-doc-
tor to her own child. We have met
mothers who spent great deal of time
identifying their children's garments,
to the detriment of what is real beau
tifying-the identifying of the soul
forgetting that 1.-The eyes are the win
doWs of the soul,' and beauty is as
beauty does.
1t is as natural for little child to
wish to be beautiful as it is for flow
er to turn to the sun. Watch your wee
daughter some time, when she is I'M
conscious of your presence, before a
mirror. See how she turns this way
and that, smooths out crease, or pats
a ribbon, all the while smiling at the
reflection, as she stands there, and
finally turning away with the smile
lingering in her eyes and at the cor
ners of her mouth-for she has learned
that smiling face is more beautiful
that one that frowns. And your boy !?
Have you ever watched him unobserved
as he adjusts his collar and tie before
the mirror? At first there are grimaces
reflected in the glass, for the little lad
finds it as difficult as does his father
at times to adjust the refractory collar
button. But when it is adjusted and
the collar and tie are in place, watch
your boy straighten and throw back
his head fearlessly, as though he felt it
a fine thing to turn and face the VIC rid
with shoulders back and face cree.
Il want to be beautiful like namna,"
cried a seven-year-old girl in our hiar-
ing.
And what makes your mother sau-
tiful-her fine clothes?" we asket, as
our eyes wandered to the perfe: :ly-
gowned young mother in the 1-sxt
room.
"Why, no. She looks Just as ntea in
her old dress as she does In her new
one. It's cause she's always so Hind
and sweet to everybody, and it shows
right in her face,'' was the answer.
The little maid had put the mat GER in
a nutshell. Teach your children that
beautiful thoughts and beautiful leeds
stand for the highest and best j.. the
art of real identifying, remem} ering
always that example is better tina. pre-
cept, and that children are apt .mita-
tors.-DeW Drops.
