Down the endless years woman has consistently sought one gift above all others ... the magic that transforms drab existence into vital living, that brings enchantment to its possessor and joy to its beholder. She has sought the gift of beauty t To the gods of Ancient Greece she prayed for this priceless favour, the attribute of goddesses. In the search for a magic elixir she enlisted the alchemists of the Middle Ages, t Yet today in this prosaic-seeming Age her quest is easier of fulfilment than it ever was before. Science, Art and Commerce have inspired miracles such as gods and alchemists never knew.

The shape of the modern foundation garment contrived hy "Berlei is determined not hy the manufacturer hut hy the anatomist, the surgeon and the mathematician. It is upon this foundation of Truth that the stylist weaves the witchery that will not only create heauty, hut preserve it through the years. RGRLei
