Summary
Details

"""The pleasing, but somewhat audacious statement of the clever writer who asserted, ""In the merciful scheme of nature, there are no plain women,"" is not as disputable as it may seem. Honest husbands, to be sure, greet the information with dissenting guffaws; gay deceivers reflect upon its truth by gallantly assenting to it, with a mocking little twinkle in their eyes; and pretty women, upon hearing it, remark sententiously ""Blind men and fools may think so."" Discerning students of womankind, however, know that if every woman would make the best of her possibilities, physically, mentally, and spiritually, it would be delightfully probable that ""in the merciful scheme of nature"" there need be no plain women."""
