An Original Belle (Classic Reprint)

Few gifts are more courted. Power is almost as varied as character, and the kind of power most desired or appreciated is a good measure of character. The pre-eminence furnished by thew and muscle is most generally recognized; but, as men reach levels above the animal, other qualities take the lead. It is seen that the immaterial spirit wins the greater triumphs, that the brainless giant, compared with the dwarf of trained intelligence, can accomplish little. The scale runs on into the moral qualities, until at last humanity has given its sanction to the Divine words, Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. The few who have successfully grasped the lever of which Archimedes dreamed are those who have attained the highest power to serve the world. A mong the myriad phases of power, perhaps that of a gifted and beautiful woman is the most subtile and hard to define.
