The Spoiled Child the Se Conscious Beauty and the Ugly Dacng

school, when all other topics of conversation
~ are worn out, girls always know they can start
something by asking the old familiar question:
Would you rather be beautiful clevec?"
Up to certain age girls all answer I'D rather be
beautiful and it's only after hope has vanished that
they choose the other alternative
Generally speaking, the family that produces one
perfect beauty has pay very dearly for their dis
nction, and the bill is usually settled by the beauy's
less attractive sisters There is certain type of girl
who is beautiful cradle adorable in the toddling
stage fascinating during her second tooth period
altogether bewitchng from the time she starts her
teens
Her path is one of triumph and this lovely creature
knows she is beautiful and is conscious of the fact
from the day she until she is eighty She can't
help knowing it for it's the first thing she hears as
baby and the chant of praise accompanies her through
her school days the chorus being swelled by her
teachers and elders who say before her: Isn't Mabel
a beautiful child" exactly if Mabel were deaf
dumb and blind to the fact of her charms.
If Mabel grows up into halfway possible creature
she really deserves credit, for such hattery she
receives from her her schoolmates her teach
ers and others who should know better would turn
much solid little than hidden
under Mabers Too often Mabel grows into a
conscious beauty thoroughly mbued with the fact
that the universe made sort of background
for her delightful person. and that her gift of
beauty is something for which She deserves great
credit and praise and the eternal sacrifice of her fam

clothes, the best looking hats, all the little extra
hneres, naturally gravitate the pretties girl
in the family, who really does need them while
her less attractive sisters gracousy permitted to
wear out Mabe's old dresses and things. 1t is for
them that the of the dressnaker and milliner
should be especially recommended.
Generally, Mabel marries early marriage is her
aim and end, and if she is still beautiful after the
age of thirty it Is because brain and work have been
added to her natural attractiveness, for the Mabel
type doesn't beautiful long and nothing much is
heard of her after her brief reign belle, though
she RECEIVERS from the consciousness of her
Importance.
The ugly duckling especially she has pretty sis
tiers relatives sbegns life with dreadful handicap
and just Mabel is told how sweet she is, the poor
little ugly ducklng is informed with brutal frankness
by her nurse. and often by her mother that she is
certainly beauty
If you ugly duckling find what good point
you have, for everybody has one. at least Cultivate
that one point If it is your hair your hands the
you walk or the quality of your voice; make the
most of that
Don't think that you can yourself go any way
either in your manners, because you not
good looking the other girls
When you have exhausted your outward resources of
beauty. remember that there is great field,
discovered country OF the mind and lovely DISPOSE
ton which has attractions greater than pretty face
for many and women and that is a field in which
you own just much you capable of devel-
oping.
