THE CHARM OF AGE

of their bodies. suddenly disappear
from view at the age OF forty or
fifty. and no example OF this has
ever been more striking than the
case Of Nine. dc Castiglione, OF the
court OF Napoleon III, one OF the
most famous beauties in Europe. She
was married at the age OF fifteen TO
Young Italian. the Count Castig-
lone. and for the next twenty years
her life was a long series OF TIL
unpt,s. She was famed for her
beauty in the great capitals OF Eu-
rope-London. Paris. Vienna and
Rome-was the possessor of Jewels
which were worth a kings ransom,
and il is written OF her that when
she entered a crowded room peo-
pie would stand up on the chairs TO
get a glimpse OF her.

She found herself losing, little by

Intellectual Charm Endures.
Moral and intellectual aims
count for more than anything else.
The body, Of course, makes IT'S de-
nands. which must be met, but the
power behind the machinery Of the
body is the intellect. and the more
animated this becomes the more
smoothly will the machinery work.
We have all heard men say OF a
woman: Yes. she is pretty, but she
can't talk"
Therefore if a woman has an ac-
tive mind, a sympathetic and sunny
temper and is interested in the az
fairs OF the day she is so secure in
her position that she need have no
fear of losing her charm when the
bloom OF youth has gone. She ap-
peals TO a mans intellect and he Is
