Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Character Analysis by the Observational Method
The Value of Beauty. - Mirrors have come into general use in modern times, but there are yet un guessed possibilities in the mirror for the purposes of self-analysis and self-development. The world itself is a mirror, as Madeline Bridges has sung, in which we see re?ected our own image. In a special sense every face into which we look re?ects our own. Smiles are re?ected with smiles; frowns with frowns.
It is not only romantically but scientifically true that by suggestion we grow like that which we admire and love. Hawthorne has told us this in his tale of classic beauty, The Great Stone Face.
