trouble is that few people are willing

"Thinking Beauty.
we have heard a great deal about
thoughts on any definite subject; but
/ how many people can do it?
Nov, if one really wants to make
any radical changes in ones way Of
| thinking, this concentration is abso-
lutely necessary, and 1t can only be
accomplished by regular mental
drill, by taking hold of the thoughts
ing on them Systematically and regu-
larry, just as you would exercise your
body. if you were taking a course OF
physical culture.
There are two things which are alb
Solutely destructive both to health and
to beauty, and which TO my mind are
the cause of peoples growing old and
ugly These two things are worry and
women grow old from worry and
from constant anxiety and fear Two
thirds Of the time they worry about
things that don't happen and are
afraid of accidents or misfOrtunes
which never materialiZe. But while
they are worrying and fearing these

for themselves faces and bodies which
reflect the state of worry and fear.
Women particularly get into the
n a f6OnQlL
habit which makes one grow old and
ugly, and it is a habit which is not
necessary. Worry and fear have never
done the slightest bit Of good. On the
contrary, they decrease the mental and
physical capacity which one needs for
dealing with trials when they do come

faces are lined and scanned with the

''The woman who is worrying over
an endless succession of small irrita-
lions. which is what most women's
worrying consists of. is simply creating
for herself the thought habits which
are destructive to youth and happiness.
An Attitude of Mind
Happiness is the greatest factor in
retaining youth and beauty. And hap

find it among the~poor as much as
among the rich, showing that it is not
a question Of material wealth or ma
terial power.
Many women are so occupied with
worries, so fearful what the morrow
will bring forth, that they haven't time
to be happy. You see such. unfortunate
people everywhere about you, and one
wonders why such people cannot get in
tune with themselves, and create the
beautiful spiritual harmony which they
were intended to give out.

hasn't been easy for me, and 1 still |
have to drill myself daily in overcom-

and substituting constructive, helpful /
and happy ones. I have been aided by /
different teochers of mental science and /
by the Circle of Unity, but I know I /
am on the right path" concluded Miss !
