From book sleeve:

How to be as glamorous in December as you were in May by Marjorie Hillis Roulston author of Live Alone and Like It.

"It is my ardent hope that women of all ages will read and take to heart this gay and sagacious book" says noted editor and author Agnes Rogers. "Although it is addressed to those in their sixties and over, younger women will profit by it too. They will be that age themselves one day and it's well to be prepared."

A high-style, sophisticated approach to making a life for yourself after 60, 70 and even 80, Keep Going and Like It is dedicated to the precept that life definitely needn't slow down at those ages - and may well begin at them. Throughout all aspects of her life, the sexagenarian who's willing can keep herself interested and interesting. "Of all the 'how-to' books perhaps the saddest are those concerned with 'How to be a Woman''", notes Elizabeth Janeway. "Marjorie Roulston isn't writing about that, but about how to be a person. In this field she is an expert..."

Containing advice, inspriration and personal experience, Keep Going and Like It covers health, beauty, fashion, interior decoration, even relationships with children and grandchildren. Mrs Roulston discusses the important areas of male and female friendships along with travel, outside activities and entertainment, all illustrated by a series of charming light verses.
