When a woman has minimized,
disguised and forgotten her faults
and recognized, developed and &C

begins TO unfold and come to the
surface,
One Of the incest compliments

Every woman has charm, al
though IN many it is latent, because
no erort has been made to bring
1t out. Charm is your power over
people, your ability to make them
happy and at ease IN your presence,
your method of saying and doing
the little everyday things when
added together make life worth the
living,
Charm is grace, smOOthness,
rhythm, coordination of mind and
BODY. Charm is an inner strength
which controls your impulses. 1t
dlscIplines your mind and manages
your actions so that always and
always you say what is right, do
what is right, are what is right. To
be charming means TO know what
to do and how TO do il, and then to
do it graciously, without self-con-
seriousness.
Self-cOnsciousness is the treach-
erOus and deceitful enemy Of charm.
Any lack Of certainty about just
what is right, any uncomfortable,
ill-at-ease feeling that possesses
you at the wrong moment destroys
the personal power which is your
individuality, your charm. There is
genuine pleasure in knowing that
you are looking, feeling, and being
your best. Only when uncertain
ties are removed, and you are able
to forget about yourself, can your
real personality shine through.
Only then are you charming.

He was also the favorite pilot of

The towel is an ancient supersti-
