Anxiety, with its beau' /-destroying influence, is casting its ahadow .■( over the lives of many of us women, and while, perhaps, a few—the more | stoical among us—can avoid worrying over past and prospective events, we j may all. with a little care and forethought, succeed in preventing the result of worry from being noticeable in our appearance. To these fortunate few, ' this little chat will, however, be as interesting and instructive as to those who stand in real need of help in toilet matters, an J may be the means of bringing to their notice some hitherto unknown method of retaining, or regaining, that j ' beauty of face and figure which is the birthright of every woman.
