Girls' Own.
GIRLS—DON'T BE UGLY!
Ueautiful children may grow ugly by familiarity with ugliness. The consciousness of an ugly odour, ari ugly sound, an ugly taste, and an ugly not to mention an ugly idea, effects the muscles of the face and, often unconsciously, causes an unpleasant expression which, if frequently occuring, becomes more or less set in the countenance. Surely our modern painters, sculptors, and architects should remember this, if beauty is to be loved and sought for its own sake, like truth. Should we not avoid crowding our galleries, as wo do, with works that stimulate the wrong muscles and must inevitably lead to a nation with ugly faces?
