It’s the house you live in that’s your day-by-day beauty duty

ARE you a good architect? Do you have specifications for that house you’re building day by day and will live in all your life? It’s your body I’m talking about, of course. And if you’re the smart girl you should be, not only do you have specifications, but you follow them religiously. Never otherwise — believe me — will you achieve your greatest beauty or your greatest glamour.
The first consideration, naturally, is a good foundation — a sound body and a sound mind. For without basic health we build on sand. Surface beauty springs from inner soundness, always.

No earthly use to encourage premature wrinkles. There’s always something to be happy about if you’ll just look for it.

All this in spite of the varied demands her family, career and home make upon her. You don’t catch Loretta dashing frantically from one pursuit to another. She concentrates completely upon what she is doing at the time. At the studio she brings every ounce of intelligence she possesses to each demand. At home, from the minute she opens her front door, she is Mrs. Tom Lewis. While the children are up and about she dwells on subjects which interest them. But after their bedtime story has been read, she becomes her husband’s charming dinner companion.
Another thing! Loretta never permits herself to be bored. She brings real interest to every detail of her activities; to marketing, to matching fabrics, to working for her (Continued on page 91)
