"GOOD" LOOKS.

"I NEVER saw the truth of the assertion that love is blind," says one woman, "more strikingly illustrated than during a recent visit to an old friend. She is a peculiarly ugly woman, and yet, by one of those common tricks of family likeness, her eldest daughter is a beauty, and yet resembles her in features and expression. I remarked upon the likeness, feeling, as soon as I had done so, that it must strike them all as shocking to compare pretty Mary with her more than plain parent. To my secret delight—it was so loyal—the fourteen-year-old son assumed an almost indignant air:
"Mary isn't nearly as handsome as mother," he declared, loudly, and I noticed a general nodding of heads from the others, indicating the same opinion. Wasn't that charming? Not one of the family had the faintest idea how the mother looked. To them she was just mother."—Harper's Bazaar.
