Just seen this in a book from the late 1960s.
a bulky, flabby figure OR a trim, disciplined body
sluggishness OR vitality
an unkempt appearance OR careful grooming
mannish attire OR dainty, pretty clothing
older, daring styles OR youthful, girlish styles
revealing clothes OR modesty in dress
mannish, short hairdos OR soft, clean hair
telling off colour jokes OR clean speech
boisterous rowdiness OR ladylike reserve
sprawling in chairs OR sitting prettily
becoming "cheap" OR honour and virtue
It is such a quaint little book! Really old fashioned clothes and hairstyles!
I would say so! In the book there are little tick boxes for each choice.
It is the Christian Charm Course by Emily Hunter, originally published in 1967.
It does seem quite strict! Cute though.
@Hippo37 - I don't think it is a joke, just seen that the book was reissued in 2009!
