Every woman longs for beauty.
All mytlifesf have sought heattfy

Allmyi life i have sought beauty.
Many men, and few women, have
assured me tS1ti had found It but |
knew the men were practicing the
gentle art OF nattery and that the
women loved me.
Every normal woman longs for
beauty and why not, when she sees
the modern Paris distribute his ap.
pies Of Interest, admiration and love
as did his ancient prototype-only to
those who are fairest?
But most women, however. much
they want beauty, don't want 1t
enough. Those who know me will
smile at this last sentence for they
have heard me say many times that
you can have anything you want In
the world IL you want 1t enough
yes, even beauty at 40, but you must
ut 20 make It your object in lifei
Most OF us do not want beauty as
badly as all that. ut VIC 40 want

much better than we do with very lit.
tie trouble and a little more Thought.
Hardly any woman treats her
beauty Ills seriously until she is at
least 80. But with the first tell.tale
crows foot at the corner OF the eye.
and the first little wrinkle In front OF
the ear, she IS ipanic.stricken and HES
herself to the beauty specialist. Az
ter one treatment she goes home,
looks ID her mirror and bursts into
tears for she has expected to see all
the marks OF 80 years erased in an
hour.
The FIRST thing to get firmly implant.
ed in your minds is that beauty in

woman does not mean youth only.
although youth almost always means
beauty.
There Is nothing so tragic as the
woman who is sprinting yards behind
the procession trying to hold on to
the fleeing garment that youth filings
behind.
There is no reason why the woman
of 40 or over should not be quite as
good looking as she was at 20. Per.
sonally, admire few character
lines more than do the promise that
youth shows--a promise that may
never be fulfilled.
When was younger ! often said.

40 and will tell you how she has
lived" will now add to this asser.
ton. "lf woman is beautiful at 40,
she has loved. experienced and SUI.
fered and yet wlthal has found life
good"
To be beautiful over 40 you must
look at the world through eyes Of
charity, at your friends through the
blinded eyes OF love and at yourself
through the laughing eye OF humor.
Real beauty is composed OF strong
mentality, idealistic spirituality and a
wholesome materialism. You have to
think, dream and act.
There is lot about this beauty
business that Is fake and much more
that is futile but most women by the
expenditure OF thought and effort can
improve their appearance and when
you improve your appearance you GER
tainly make life seem more worth

others.
