"Charm''-Of Interest to All Women
Do you wish to be happy? Well,
follow the advice of the great French
woman, Madame Sarah Bernhardt,
who for over fifty years has dominat-
ed the stage of the world by the sheer
charm of her personality, and she
ought to know Madame Bernhardt
w:ote these words among many
others for Harper's Bazaar:
'The woman of charm has the
power of being interested in every
one and everything for time. She
is interested in the persons who cross
her path. This fatters and delights
them. They are hers. The charming
person always has a sincere smile.
Any one may smile. There may be
flash of the eye, show of teeth, but
these are not true smile. Smiles
from the heart give the face beau
tiful radiance, as unlike the metallic
smile from the teeth out as sunrise
is from midnight. How many women
seem plain to those who do not know
item, but are loved and adored by
those who do-simply because of their
charm? Charm is undoubtedly the
greatest asset in life and it can be
cultivated; assuredly yes. My def
milton? Charm lies in consideration
of others. The thought of
self destroys magnetism.
have never known a. charming per-
son who was not intelligent. The
dullard has no charm. If l stood at
the Threshold of life, asking of it
something with which to buy happi-
ness, / should beg for charm. For
if one has charm, she will be loved.
And woman must have love to be
happy. Beauty does not matter. If
a woman has charm she can secure
whatever she wants-love, success,
power Beauty she is born with or
without, and she can do little to
change that. The plain woman can
decide to be wholesome and to dress
becomingly She can do little else-fo
her external self; but she can cult
vate and increase her charm. :.
The woman of charm has abundant
vitality. She does not drag herself
