desire to possess it is born
IN the soul of man.
The reason of this lies in the
dormant psychic memory. That
memory knows that Beauty is
God
AS We were "One with Cod in
former eras, so we will once
again become One with Him in
time to come.
When we sprang forth from the
parent source we were all beau
tiful
Just in proportion to our wan
dering away from that source
have we receded from beauty.
And woe unto him who pos
sesses beauty and does not recog-
nize it's "noblesse oblige" and does
not make his thoughts and actions
chord with the divine gift. Unto
him in future incarnations shall
come ugliness and deformity I'M
til he understands the law and
abides by it,
Every woman should seek the
goal of beauty, and she should
know that the path is threefold
which leads TO the center of that
goal.
Physical. mental and spiritual
qualities must all combine TO pro-
duce the beauty which leaves It's
lasting impress on the observer
and which brings any measure Of
satisfaction to the seeker after
beauty.
The body. which lis the house
of the mind and spirit, should be
cared for with loving wisdom and
painstalling pride.
Just as we build over, and
change, and refurnish a house
which we may inherit as our
property but which does not sat
should set about reshaping and
furnishing our mortal bodies if
they do not please us.
How To Be Beautiful.
with proper physical exercises,
Calisthenics, right breathing,
bathing and diet, the gross body
may be made slender, the thin
body rounder. And the features
may be remolded and refined by
skilled care, combined with a
positive mental attitude.
There are women who pass the
entire morning in beauty parlors,
and who set apart small fortunes
to recompense specialists for the
care of their persons. Then, APP
pareled in beauteous raiment,
they go forth TO gossip listen to
scandal. indulge in feelings of
envy, jealousy and i'll will, with
never one uplifting thought, new
err one noble high air, to mark
the day; never one hour of even
intellectual enjoyment to relax
the features.
An exterior and ephemeral
beauty only can belong to such
women.
The woman who is all intellect,
even when given beauty at birth,
rarely remains with her posses
sion. There must be something
softer, sweeter. less austere than
intellect to mold beauty-the
beauty which remains, grows and
develops with time.
One sees often intellectual
women who were beautiful in
early youth. but at middle life, a
cold expression of their eyes. a
straight line of too firmly closed
mouth and a set look of the fea
lures destroy beauty.
Meditation and faith and relg-
ious reverence. mingled with toll
erance and large sympathies. all
are beauty making attributes.
The habit of daily repose of the
features in solitude, while pray
ing and meditating and the lift
ing of the mind above the COM
non. vexatious things OF ordi-
binary life. and the close APP
preach to the realms of the In
visible Helpers these things are
Of great value in building beauty
Of the body as well as of the
mind.
Woman should study her type
and apparel herself accordingly.
She should endeavor to accent
her personal attractions by at
tractive, beautiful attire.
Woman's love Of dress is al
ways a subject OF sarcasm and
jest 10 the world at large.
Clergymen and priests decry it,
and reference to Eve and the
wicked fig leaf have become plat
itudes.
Yet woman continues to sdorn
herself
