Show m FOUR PERIODS OF TRANSITION George's Looks, From the Introduction to Adored One to the End of the Honeymoon. " 'He is a remarkably plain young man,' she wrote in her diary the first day she met him. 'He has rather an interesting in-teresting face.' she said to her mamma a month later as she decked her apricot-colored tea gown with the William-Allen-Richardsons that he had just sent her. "When she wrote to her best friend to give the news of her engagement she expressed herself thus: He has not the regular featured dollish good looks I have always hated in men He has a strong, characterful face and magnificent eyes.' " 'You loveliest one!' she sighed, as she poured out his lea at the third breakfast of the honeymoon. 'I could sit and look at you forever.' "Six months later, she observed to her husband: 'I don't know whether you're aware of it, George, but your hair's getting most frightfully thin on the top. and you're just about tlie last man in the universe that can afford to go bald.' "A man's looks must not be Judged by appearances." From "Stories Without Tears." by Barry Pain. |
