NEW THOUGHTS.
Are You Growing More Attractive
as You Advance in Life?
BY VALENTINE.

IF the mind keeps itself occupied
with right thinking it is impos-
sible to be plain, ugly or uninter-
esting in late life, says Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, in New Thoughts Maya
zine" The witfered and drawn
faces of many indicate withered emo
tons and drawn and perverted am
billions. The dried and sallow face
tells the story of dried up sympathies
and hopes. The furrowed face tells
of acid cares eating into the heart.
HE who understands his own divine
nature will grow more beautiful with
the passing of time Are you grow
ing more attractive as you advance
in life? Study yourself and answer
these questions to your own soul,
FLOR in the. answer depends the de-
cision whether you will really love
and trust.

men often sacrifice their beauty to

transform clear, white skin INTO a
mass of pimples and black spots. A
beautiful woman has the beauty of
her stomach. The oft quoted phrase,

Shoes for Women.

- When we had satisfied ourselves
that we must meet the insistent and
growing demand for a reasonably
priced, stylish woman's shoe that
could be safely recommended to our
own customers as combining in its
making those features which assure
perfect satisfaction to the wearer, we
set about to make such shoe. MI
merous comparisons were made of
shoes sold at $500 and $3.50. We
selected the best points found in
these and added others of our own.
The outcome was the w. & L.
