of grammaphone records and one stood with a record in her hands. They all took turns at these roles. Now there was a pause in the taking of photographs. Femia had to alter her makeup. She was now dressed in very short cocktail dress that was very decollete. Fine shining silver stockings and high heels.

"Yes, here you see one of our results," the lady said to me, "Femia is now 25 years old, but she is able to give the perfect illusion of a teenage girl. Our doctor has helped her with her figure.
