Please do not think I consider your

of my remarks. What ] mean is that
beauty alone cannot make girl
popular, and I believe you stress that
point too much.
It would do no good to send me
these girls pictures, for peoples tastes
vary so much that what one considers
beautiful another does not consider
even pretty. Lot your sister develop
