Yet they are not always the most beautiful.

Need for Eternal Vigilance.
“We first make our habits and then
our habits make us,” said an unknown
sage. Tn other words, what we are
at tbi- ; 1 we can do at this
moment, de;iends not only upon mak¬
ing up cur minds at the time being,
but also upon how we have made up
our minds countless other times 1:»
thousands of minutes already gone by
and now out of our control. The one
thing we cannot control is the past;
it may, however, control us for good
or for evil. The fact that we should
remember in forming habits is that our
mint !.-1 tint! hearts are the .meeting
ground of strange conflicts; that good
and bad in its are -making - opposite
suggestions; that cacti is striving for
the mastery; and that sometimes we
are so self-deluded that the bad tnay
seem to be the good. At any hour the
beginnings of a vicious habit, perhaps
through the suggestion of someone
else or by our own carelessness, indif¬
ference, or faults, may find their way
into our hearts. The price we must
pay for continually proving and pos¬
sessing the good is eternal vigilance.

Discouraged Aids to Beauty,
in the day of Louis XIV LaBruyera
wrote this: “If•women only desire to
lip beautiful in eaelt other’s eyes they
may, of course, follow their own ea
price or taste as to the way in which
they dross and adorn themselves; but
if they desire to please men, if it is
to charm them (hey rouge and paint.
I can assert in the name of mankind,
or at least of those men whose votes
I have taken, that white and red paints
make women look old and hideous; that
it is its disgusting to see women with
paint on their faces as with false teeth
in their mouths and waxen bails to
puff out their thin cheeks; and that far
front countenancing it, men solemnly
protest against all such arts,’ wl leli iu;
fullibly Tend to cure them of iove.”
The wonder arises if LaBruyere
spoke only for the men of his time.
