Rambova and Smith's book offers a 'practical guide to those who feel the need for organizing their lives - physical, emotional and mental - into some coherent pattern which will help them in difficult days and inspire them in the not so difficult.' The book outlines the physical and mental exercises that will alieviate nervous tension: 'simple physical and psychological principles to the solving of problems of everyday living.' The illustrations are by Mildred Orrick, a fashion designer who worked for Janice Milan, Townley Frocks, Darlyn Junior, Anne Fogarty, and Villager Clothes. Orrick's first work as a designer was sketching and modelling for Rambova. ; 7.8 x 5.4 x .6; 96 pages. Seller Inventory # 53925
