However much it may sound like a platitude, it is a great and eternal truth that your mental activities are chiselling your features. By keeping yourself concerned with good, gracious, and great thoughts, you are shaping your face into a noble beauty minute by minute, and hour by hour.
Avoid as much as possible looking at repulsive and ugly objects.
Look at whatever is beautiful and seek for it.
Search for whatever is admirable in nature and human nature, and muse upon those things in your moments of solitude.
Cultivate love-thoughts for humanity at large.
Avoid severe criticisms, and develop sympathy and pity in your soul. Study the comfort and pleasure of strangers in public places, and friends and associates in nearer relations.
Remember always how brief a thing, and ofttimes sad, life is to many, and seek to brighten and better it as you pass along.
Meanwhile, take care of your person, study your lines and your features, and learn how to dress and how to carry yourself; how to obtain "presence," that indescribable charm in woman.
Take daily care of your complexion, which to a woman is of prime importance.
Call in the skill of the specialist to help you preserve and beautify your skin and hair, just as the dentist and the oculist are to be consulted to help you preserve teeth and eyes. Think beauty for mind, soul, and body; live it, and believe it is your right.
