Dignity and poise add so much to one's beauty!

I remember at my sister's wedding, lo so many years ago, one of her bridesmaids looked at Isabel, who was one of the elegant older ladies in charge of refreshments. She was dressed up for the wedding, with her hair in an elegant chignon, shades of silver and white intertwining, and was graciously serving coffee to guests who approached.

"I hope I look that good when I'm her age," M said to me. I looked at her and before I could speak, she added, "Who am I kidding? I don't even look that good now, and I'm 23!"

Sophia, Isabel, and all those we knew, grace endures.
