Everybody! We have transgressed the laws of God or broken His laws. committeth sin transgresseth also the law; for sin is the transgressor of the 1st John 3:4.

A law breaker needs a pardon Can Give the Pardon! Advertisement Every woman with intelligence! and a genuine desire to make her- self attractive will find within herself those elements that create good looks. Smart, clever women are nearly always of charming appearance. Tney use their cleverness in various ways, it is only natural that they should employ this gift in building external beauty It is the witless woman who is content to be just pretty. That's not enough these days One must have style, manner, One must carry oneself beautifully, move beautifully, -have an expressive countenance that carries the radiance of good comradeship and splendor of character Create Charm Ybu buy these charms at the beautytorium; create them inside jour heart a no your soul. You build them, year after year, and it is a pleasant project.

As far as external appearances are concerned, one must know oneself, study oneself in the mirror. One must be aware of good and bad points. It is no good overvaluing the good ones or being too serious about the bad ones, if they cannot be corrected. The bright-minded woman will endeavor to make herself distinguished from the run-of-the-mill girls. She will keep in the fashion, naturally.

The styles of the moment are her dish, but her own ideas are the cream that she puts on the top of the dish. She is not content to be a carbon copy, one of a string of paper dolls. She does her hair in a special way. She wears some of the family jewels if they are quaint and interesting. She dares to make little innovations in her frocks and hats.
