The course focused heavily on low-calorie dieting, purgatives, light calisthenics, and correct hair and makeup application. In addition to the six week course, included here is a quick index to the course materials, a "charm test," and a color-scope chart together with tissue papers to help you determine your best colors and what makeup to wear with what dress. A complete look at how to be a "correct" 1940s woman.
