I recall 10 my memory some beautiful poem

Mrs Bergh added that when she was IN
Chicago certain circles adopted as result
Of her work a sort Of catch phrase which
II was the custom to repeat upon meeting.
II was Good morning Arc you thinking
in curves this morning. This was used
as a substitute FOR Hello, Bill or How're
all the folks
We'll" said tho young person with the
perfectly good reporters note book, will
beautiful thoughts entirely remove and
prevent wrinkes;"
why, of course," repliC1 Mrs BerRh
IL the treatment is taken sOon enough
OF course in the case " women who have
been thinking unpleasant thoughts for
sutue time Il will take little massage al
the very begnning 10 sort Of start the
wrinkles This is only in tho case OF
habtually dlscordant thinkers. But the
massage need not be continued long and
the treatment should he continued with
harmonious thinking
IL appears that only ten lessons will be
given in harmonious thought That's quite
enough for women who only wish to be
beautiful II YOU wish 10 teach other
women how 10 become beautiful Of course
a longer course Of instruction is necessary.
Mrs Bergh's grandmother was II when
she died and she was the most beautiful
old lady you could imagine, Everybody
who saw her for the first time would always
exclaim What a beautiful old LADY,
And She thomRht nothing but sweet. haT-
