Good Mental Tonic.

As appearance means so much to the average woman, mentally as well as socially, the question often arises, **ls she justified in aiding or improving nature if she sees fit?” Many of our well-known medical men think that “makeup” is as good a mental tonic as anyone can take and greatly advises its use, especially for the giriwho has some slight personal defect — a scar, a poor complexion or bloodless lips, for the knowledge of her defects makes her shy and oftentimes sulky and miserable. We owe It. to our friends as well aS to ourselves to look our best at all times and the girl who can improve her appearance without harming herself, should do so. Nothing gives us quite the self-confidence as to feel we look well. Actresses are usually warm-hearted, sensible and cheerful. That Is because, they make the beat of themselves in face and form. An old saying is true, “The face is often a reflex of the mind,” and in a measure it is no less true that the mind is a reflex of the face.
