The results of a comprehensive study of how best to beautify the body, are compiled in the ensuing pages. The effort in preparing this material will not have been in vain, and the booklet will serve the purpose for which it was designed, if even a few of its readers find answers to the vexing questions that perplex them. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" . . . thus may each reader find at least one suggestion in this volume that will lend beauty to her appearance and add glamour to her own life . . . and thus to those surrounding her.
