culture begins most properly speaking in the cradle but as we can cannot cannot not go back to nur nursery ery days we must do the best we e can now for the girl I whose is ruined by stoop stooping Ing shoulders and a flat chest r am convinced that every girl i should go through n a course of diction lessons In order to learn not only to speak but to breathe and to hold herr her hersel sel self
