HOURS WITH JOHN DARBY (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Hours With John DarbyBut beauty in woman is not so much of face and of form as of motive and action. She is wise who makes herself to look well, but she is wiser who acts well. It is ill advised in a woman to go without adornments, for dress is to a woman what feathers are to the bird, and that bird which bears brightest plumage affords most pleasure by the beauty it carries. But a bird brought to the cage tires quickly enough if feathers alone are the charm there should be voice, and movement, and Winsome ways, and these, rather than the coloring, are what should be the attractions, for a Winsome woman does so delight her husband that never does it come to him to see that little by little the plumage is changing - as change itmust that it may keep in accord with advancing years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
