A SHRINE IN LONDON.

NEOPHYTES AND THE PRIESTESS. Dear Ladies, —Since 1 Just thus publicly addressed my fair friends in lite Sunny South, 1 have been even busier tnan before. Not only have i ransacked tii c world's laboratories for you who so profitably pursue vie Cult of Beauty —not only have i sedulously sought the lv lest specifics and delicacies for the complexion—but 1 have carried the. gospel of my methods aud your joy into the wdrld's metropolis and made secure' my seat in mighty London. In that historic centre of aristocracy, Mayfair, I have taken aud litted a- famous mansion, once and for long the town residence of the "Marquess of Salisbury. Here, where for centuries gay cavaliers and noble ladies have lived and loitered, 1 have established my Maison de Beaute Valaze. This is now the chief shrine of tho Cult of Beauty. Here the edilice of Beauty Culture is builded on a scale without precedent in the world, and Valaze is tlie corner-stone. It is a great thing that I bare been able to do; but success was easy in the main essential. Valaze. came, and saw. and conquered. Englishwomen tested the new- delight, and their verdict was inanimous, enthusiastic, overwhelming. Duchesses, merchants' wives and daughters, dowagers, matrons, buds—all swell tlie gladsome tribute. From the Head Depot (tlie Central Shrine) at 24, Graf-ton-street. the white jars of Valaze that si ream to the homes of the world's fairest women- are as the stars for I multitude. At 24 Grafton-street I am I welcoming Australasian friends all the time. Who should be welcome, if not they! The Press of England gives mc fu! recognition of the heartiest praise. "The Queen" cries that "we have among us a very Daniel come to judgment in the art of beauty-culture." The "Eveni ing Standard and St. .lames' Gazette" says: "Mile. Rubinstein is becoming one of the most talked of ivomen in London, .-<> rapidly has the. name of her successful treatment and the intrinsic, value of !■ -•!- preparations spread." "The World," hailing mc as one of the greatest authorities in the world on matters pertaining to t.he skin, says that all my preparations arc "widely known and immensely appreciated." "Hearth and Home" testifies that too mucfi cannot be said of the value of Va'aze. "The Lady ana "The Gentlewoman" join heartily in Lilt chorus. "The Sketch" gives evidence tiiat I have been "welcomed with a rusTt."' It is all very comforting and delightful, and there is a wonderful lot of it— all praise without stint, all enthusiasm preserved. Why, J ask you. WHY? T -hall tell you why. mes amies. Because Valaze is the. most perfect preparation for the complexion that ever added lustre lo the glorious record of scientific research. Because Valaze is utterly unlikn the thousands of skin-foods so-called—the vapid, useless, nondescript nostrums that Ihe skin is better without than with. Because Valaze sinks to the deepest sirata of the skin, revitalises the deepest (issues, cleanses aud enprgizes ihe deepest cells: becatt«e it works thoroughly and surely as Nature herself: bpcausc. if perfects the health and purity of the skin, gives exquisite colour and tone, dt-lieious freshness, absolute Beauty. I That is vvhv Valaze equips the skin to I withstand all strain and stress of wea- | (her and of climate, to be independent ;of beat and cold, of aridity and of moisture. j That i= why Valaze is better than all j it s promises. ( Valaze is not omnipotent—T know j that nuite we!'. But what it does it ! d.'.cs superbly, and what it does nothing else can do so well. Because Valaze is not a cure-all. T srpp'v oKier exclusive preparations, its proper auxiliaries and associates. If you (•"ecirc information and jntldnnee. write for mv new booklet.
