The average woman in

The woman in the home

For Beatty, Health
You cannot separate q
beauty routine from q health

the same things to achieve

The woman in business
should make every effort to
work as much exercise and

can be done with q little
effort.
She also should lose the
feeling Of being in Q rat

and live within q relaxed
mood. Once she gets to the
office she may not be able
to control this, but before and
after hours she can.

Between rhythmic waves OF

In most Of the major marts Of

In those days. too, as many a
