"A woman conscious of her sags and bulges at the shore can hide them under a beach robe and jump in the water, with no one the wiser about her defects. But where can she jump and hide at an afternoon tea or when standing before an audience? Of course there are some women who have become resigned or indifferent to their physical appearance. But it takes a pretty case-hardened female to ignore signs of a “bay window” when she begins to study herself in the mirror"
