A thought TO make even c~arefree Beauty pause
and lose herself in the mysteries Of the newt
able. Mysteries that we each must solve for
ourselves, each to our own fashion; mysteries to
which Time alone holds the secret.
Beauty sometimes wonders If Love will de-
part as the shadow of Time deepens across the
horizon of her life. But, if it is Love, there
need be no fear, for affection that Is tried, true
and tender will deepen in the gathering clouds
every age has its loneliness, and that to grow
old gracefully il one Of Lies finest arts. She
will know that age has its compensations. that
peace and serenity are among Lies most
precious gifts. She will discover that she whose
heart has been tender, whose thoughts have ever
been OF those dear to her, whose soul has depth
and greatness, will always be beautiful, for true
beauty is from within and its glory will shed an
