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.
And just as surely as you pursue this line of conduct for ten years,
just so surely will you find yourself at thirty far more attractive than
at twenty, and at forty more lovely than at thirty.
