enterprising beauty specialist, has the
greatest - faaclnatlon for numbers v of
women, therefore she has stsrted her
museum In order to show them how and
where their wrinkles originate.

people and the "don't cars whether-you

If you aak such a woman what time

shopping she will Invariably reply; "Oh,
