try to analyze why you admire her appearance

Choose the friend (or enemy) whom you consider to have the best taste and whom you envy most. Try to analyze why you admire her appearance. Every time you see her, figure out what she has done to make herself appear the ultimate in good taste. Later, when you’re alone, analyze it on paper.

decide whether it is almost perfect

Study your silhouette carefully. Decide whether it is almost perfect or whether there are irregularities. If the latter is the case, study the outline and shape of each part of your body (so) that you may definitely locate the defect.

they are not worth the lines

Throw meanness and avarice, selfishness and hate, all ugly thoughts, out of your consciousness. They are not worth the lines they cause and the droop they make in your lips.

Cocks, Dorothy. 1935. Help Yourself to Beauty: A Modern Woman's Practical Guide. New York. Harper and Brothers Publishing. p. 135
