GROWING UP GRACEFULLY

You have a daughter with a slim, pretty little figure? Then don’t forget that unless you do something about it, her growing up may merely mean growing old . . . particularly if she decides on a career that means sitting at a desk all day. Hips uncontrolled just spread and spread—and what bigger handicap to staying young and attractive? She won’t wear a corset—not even a girdle? Ah, but she will if you’re clever. A little subtle persuasion can completely disarm high-spirited objections. Have you seen the delightful little bits of femininity with which corset manufacturers are beguiling untrammelled youth these days? Present her with the most appealing one you can find and that doesn’t mean expensive, they’ve the most unassuming prices. The most casehardened tomboy will succumb to the appeal of one of those gorgeous little affairs in the new stretching satins, either gleaming or smartly dull. She'll just adore it; and be so thrilled to have such a glamorous addition to her wardrobe, she’ll forget about it’s being a corset at all. With such a soft, pliant, cool fabric she won’t feel controlled, but you'll find her taking a new interest in her figure! And you can rest your maternal conscience that it is controlling and making her pretty young curves grow the way they should go.
