Miss Dahl admired the head of Antonia, mother of the Emperor Claudius, "noted for beauty and goodness", but decided she could do with a face-lift after all these years. Miss Dahl knows all about such things. She writes a syndicated beauty column (three times a week) in which she passes on to her readers the beauty secrets of the stars.
