THE ART OF BEING BEAUTIFUL.

The famous beauties of ancient and. less ancient times—Semiramis, Rhodope, Thais, Cleopatra (that peerless Greek), Campaspe; Agnes Sorel, Jane Shore, Nell Gwyn (that rogue), the Pompadour, these for suggestion — preserved their beauty because the gods were good to them in despite of adverse circumstances. Ninon de who was a delicious mask of ruin at ninety, so that yoxuig gallants still fought for her beaux 3'eux, was lovely always because she took scrupulous care of her loveliness, the gods being already dead. Virtually, that is to say that the incomparable Ninon had found some method of skin-feeding which exactly suited her own case. Any woman who can do that has already won half her battle; for a perfect complexion is at least three parts of perfect beauty. The battle is to the beautiful, more now than it ever was. But the modern woman has not time to invent her own skin-food, even if she had the knowledge of how and why; and her skin needs feeding more than Ninon's did, if only because she thinks and frets more. The stress of civilisation is acute, and no woman can escape it. Opportunely came Mile. Helena Rubinstein, introducing \"alaze —Dr. Lykuski's Herbal Skin Food. That was h'va years ago, and now Valaze is accepted every where as the one toilet preparation unique and unapproachable in its class. Valaze suits any woman because it meets the need of the whole world of \%omen. It acts as a tonic and a preserver, a replenisher and a stimulant. It eradicates all harmful and septic conditions. It makes and keeps the skin pure and beautiful. It revitajises flaccid duets and Tebuilds impaired tissues. In short, it removes defects, supplies the most wholesome nutriment, and restores the natural order. Valaze i≤, iv fact, sometliing more than a skin food; in a way it makes healthy flesh. It lills disfiguring hollows and restores distorted or weakened curves to the gracious natural line and comeliness. It lifts every woman up to or back to the ideal possibilities of her inherent advantages or physical qualities; and in multitudes of cases, perhaps the majority, it gives a woman a finer complexion than she ever had in her life before Mile. Rubinstein came along to help her. It does exactly and honestly what it claims to do. In jars, 4/ and 6/9; post free.
