“Be Gentle”

“WHAT a pretty girl!” said one observer.
“Not so pretty as she was a year ago,” said a quick-eyed one, “for her temper is beginning to show through.”
Five years later every one could see what he meant, for the “showing through” was too plain to be overlooked; and the pretty girl was a frowning, thin-lipped woman. We may be sure that what we are will write itself on our faces before we get through, no matter what the unformed outlines of youth may be.
Who has not seen the wrinkled and knotty temper “showing through”? “Be gentle.” —Anon.
