The art Of achieving beauty it is called good grooming and much of the modern American beauty, which is famous now in two continents, is not that of feature but of good grooming. As a rule, American girls do not have regular features; a classic straight nose is markedly unusual, a cupid's bow mouth is seldom seen nowadays. arched eyebrows. not once la year, masses of hair only on children of foreign parents. and the Irish pink and white skin rarely enough to be noticeable.
