TX HEALTHY, clear thinking, en-
9 ergetic mind is not only the
nucleus Of beauty but it is the nu-
cleus Of a radiant happy life!
Had l space to quote famous au-
thorities l could convince you that
destructive thoughts, or an undisci-
plined mind, can rob a woman of
her health and destroy her hap
piness.
AS you think, your face and eyes
express your thoughts. Catch a
glimpse of yourself in a mirror as
you converse with a friend. Notice
how your eyes sparkle and your
lips turn upward when you speak
gaily. See how quickly a frown
appears and your eyes dim when
you talk of sorrow or feel sad.
Your lips narrow and your eyes
partly close when you give vent to
anger or gossip maliciously. Would
you have believed it?
Do you know that every unworthy
thought registers on your face?
Haven't you seen women whose
countenances reveal their habitual
thoughts of malice, selfshness, jeal-
ousy? OF course you have. Over
indulgence of miserable traits have
robbed them of their beauty and
happiness.
