She must first of all have clearly

She must have a skin that is above

She must have full, clear eyes, with
long lashes, and distinctly outlined
eyebrows
She must have glossy hair that has
never known the touch of bleach or

She must have small ears set fiat
against her head.
She must have we'll shaped nose.
Her mouth may be large or small, but
must be well shaped, with red lips.
She must have good figure, plump
enough to lose sight of all angles and
yet sufficiently slender to give no sug-
gestion of surplus flesh.
