surest way to beauty will choose
the method of correct exercise.
Creams are all right, as far as they
go, tonics are we'll enough In some

exercising are the only ways to &C
quire, and keep, real beauty.
The beauty-seeker, then, should
ind some system of exercises that
agrees with her and stick to these.
