to this Is added the charm Of lovely
c0loriuE, the result is not always the
beauty that arrests the attention and
attracts admiration from all
There is, however, one charm that
never fails Of its effect. Even irregular
features are rendered attractive by it,
and its influence is so great that II
would be difficult TO overestimate f..
