"Resolved To Do Right By Myself: New Year Resolutions, With a Dash of Enlightened Selfishness, That Will Make a New Woman of You."
A sampling of the resolutions listed:
- To teach my maid to lie with convincing charm so I can avoid dull callers and telephone conversations.
- To denounce swing music as cacophonous tripe if I prefer sweet jazz and symphonies.
- To make him take care of his own dog even if I must resort to a little well-timed carelessness in feeding the pooch.
- To admire his hair-cut and his new suits, willy-nilly.
- To make him stop talking about girth and baldness and do something about it.
- To own at least one dress or negligee which makes me feel feminine, clinging, luxurious and slightly wicked.
- To wear always, the kind of underwear I'd be proud to claim as my own after the train wreck - if any.
- To pay real money for a foundation garment if my figger needs a lift.
- To cancel all dates, neglect the family darning and go to bed at sunset as soon as my mirror shows I'm getting a "death and taxes" expression.
- To take enough exercise so I won't look like a marshmallow.
- To try to see the good points in my face, my figrue, my disposition, and quit worrying about the flaws I can't do anything about.
I have mastered some of these (neglecting the dog) and may adopt of few of them for myself. They sound pretty sensible to me!
