Plainness washes and wears, and don't paint. Plain good looks, resulting from mental qualities, will last a lifetime. A w^se, middle-aged lady, once a plain girl, is handsomer than other middle-aged ladies. She may look as well as ever she did, when the belle of the former balUrooins may have shrunk into a Syccrax, or swollen into a grampus. When a man marries a plain woman with his eyes open, he cannot be deluded by appearances into marrying a fool.
