The quiet. tinid girl can be full
of charm. less so, evidently, than her
livelier sister, but there is charm in
the little gray mouse with large
anxious eyes. But ! think that the
great charmer is the one who does not
think of herself. the one whose inter
est in others is greater than her self
absorption, the one who in spite OF
herself fascinates because without
knowing ii she is all the time giving,
giving of her best self.
Charm is not solely the possession
OF youth. The old woman can have
it as well as the young one, the
plain one as well as the beauty There
is often greater charm to be found
in face upon which life has writ
ten its story than in a quiet young
face. unlined, unmarked by the hand
of time. There is a ia fascination about
eyes that have seen much and still
remained kindly, in a smile that has
sadness beneath its outward brave
gaiety. Painters love these faces and
have made them their greatest pic
lures.
How I Keep Young
The thinkers, the poets also love
these faces, and young eyes turn
