Not Skin Deep

| MOST of the proverbs which | | form part of our daily jf | language are based on a foun- | | dation of truth, but one is | | sadly lacking m wisdom — that § | beauty is but skin deep. | | Beauty is as deep as the | | heart, and is as much a spiri- I | tual as a physical thing. f | Prettiness is but skin deep, I | if you like, and when it fades | 1 it leaves no hint of its past | 1 charm. The transitory pret- | I tiness of youth, which comes | | from vitality and daintiness | | soon passes, but a beautiful | 1 woman never loses all her | |.. loveliness, though her hair | | grow grey and wrinkles come. | | Most of us spend too much § | time trying to improve our | § hair and complexion, and too f = little m cultivating a healthy | | body, an active mind and a I | sympathetic spirit, which f | combine to make a woman I | beautiful. . §
