Guard Your Thoughts

OME very sound advice to the seeker after beauty and youth is given by a notable member of English society, Lady Neish, emphasising the importance of the effect of thought upon looks-good or otherwise. I often smile to myself, she says, when I see the face of a beautiful actress advertising a face cream. You cannot attain beauty with a face cream. It needs many other things. An actress keeps her looks in spite of late nights and other disddvantages because she unconsciously uses the power of thought, not on account of the face cream she advertises. She dare not grow old or look disagreeable, otherwise she might lose her job. It is an instinct with an actress to look agreeable. She is out to please. It is a pity other professions do not copy her. A good actress realises that if she allows her face to grow set and stern or disagreeable, she will age as quickly as we do!

I merely mention this to emphasise one of the first rules for a beauty seeker or seeker after youth. Guard your thoughts. And here is a golden rule for beauty seekers. "It is no use spending twelve shillings and sixpence on face cream if you go to bed feeling disagreeable." Fancy going to sleep with one of the expressions we wear when we have a grievance ! If you are not sure what you look like when you are off guard, it is an excellent plan to write or read or do any little job in front of a mirror. Look up occasionally just casually and note the natural expression of your face. If you look as I sometimes do, you will get a nasty shock! " A face cream can be very soothing in the hot weather, and a good cleansing cream is a real skin beautifier, but the best beauty parlour in the world will be of very little benefit to any * woman who does not control her temper and her thoughts.
