around the rod, which rested on books

What Makes Pretty Girl?
There never yet has lived the woman
who did not crave beauty. Some girls
are not made actively unhappy by the
lack Of it; others really suffer.
More self-consciousness comes from
plainness than from beauty.
The beauty grows to take her good
looks as. a matter of course, but the
S1Tl 10 always luioCldOAJ
how ugly every one thinks me-
AS a matter of fact, expression is the
greatest of all beautiiers. as well as
ugliierS.
A girl may have quantities of golden
hair, pink cheeks, regular features, but
if she has a silly, self-satisfed express
sion, no one will consider her beautiful.
Or girl may have very few claims
to regular beauty, but be glorified by
beautiful expression of face, and every
one will think her lovely.
1t is sweetness, goodness and lntelll-
gence that make the highest type or
beauty. Those qualities last much Ion
ger than colOring; the older their posses
sor grows the more lovely she Will
become.
There are many ways in which you can
improve yourself, if you wish to become
better looking.
Take your figure, for example. IF you
are fat chested and round shouldered,
take simple exercises and develop the
one and straighten the other defect.
Hold your head up; don't poke it for
ward. If your hair is lanky and oily
wash it frequently and dress it becom-
ingly.
Don't sit down, tamely, and whine:
ooh, I'm so hopelessly ugly" but do
your best to improve yourself.
If you have sallow skin, choose your
colors carefully; let them be clear, not
dull and cloudy, and see that your eyes
and clothes match. Blue won't go with
brown eyes, nor brown with blue. With
gray, you can wear either.
Remember that a peevish expression
will mar your looks more than anything
else.
If you strive to make yourself agree
able and Obliging, you won't think much
about your looks; but other people will
soon find that you have a very sweet
nature, and that it is reflected in your
face.
And they'll like you and they won't
stop to think about your pretty or plain
face; they'll merely know that there is a
