He saith, that comeliness requireth the use of such ceremonies as may cause a due respect unto, and regard of, the works of God’s service, and thereby stir men up to greater fervour and devotion.
The oval of her face attracted the attention of more than one of my artist friends. "At seventeen she had learned what styles of attire, what arrangements of her hair, were best suited to display effectively her comeliness. "This was one of the greatest steps of all. "The simplest draperies, she found, the least complicated headgear, were most advantageous to her appearance.
They wear, from crown to jaw, curious strings of old coins, after the manner of the belles of Tiberias, and brass jewelry upon their wrists and in their ears. They wear no shoes and stockings.
