Charming

Beautiful clothes!

Girlhood's fresh beauty knows no glory like a a dashing dress that heightens the bloom on glowing cheeks and sets new stars in sparkling eyes. Nothing stirs a lover's heart like the one woman gowned with that artistry wherein every line and every tone bespeaks her own intimate and individual charm. And wise wives and mothers know the happy secret that fresh and pretty clothes hold back the years and inspire anew admiring, warm affections.

See? This is how a young woman should dress.

That is all I have to say about the vulgar young woman whose picture has been splashed all over the World Wide Web this week.
