Instead, we'll be realists, and consider how best to deal with what we've actually got.
There are two qualities which can make a little go a long way in a woman's appearance.
One is style. which means carrying off what you've actually got with an air.

The other is good grooming, which means making the best of what you've actually got. And this is within the reach of most of us. There's nothing mysterious or complicated about good groom- ing. You just have to train your mind a little and keep your head!!
Plenty of girls who buy quite nice shoes go about down at hael because they won't remember to get each pair reheeled at once ae It becomes necessary. They wait until they haven't a pair fit to put
on.
Easy enough to avoid, isn't it? And avoiding it is an important feature of good grooming.
