their mingled delicacy and strength
and her rare, fine coloring- In time
she will doubtless change the style TO
one softer and looser. calculated TO
lessen the effect OF ageing features.
But that time. happily, is stil Tar
of for this truly wonderful woman
So I tell you that. in general, Il
IS absolutely true that preserving
approximately the same outlines or
