(that rogue), the Pompadour, theso for suggestion —preserved their beauty becauso the gods were good to them in despite of adverse circumstances. _ Ninon do Lenelos who was a delicious mask of ruin at ninety, so that young gallants still fought for her -beaux yeux, was lovely always because she took scrupulous care of her loveliness, tho gods being already dead. Virtually, that is to say that , the incomparable Ninon had found some method of skinfeeding which exactly suited her own case. Any woman who can do that has already, won half hor battle; for a perfect complexion is- at least three parts of perfect' beauty. The battle is to tho beautiful, more now than it ever- was. But tho modern woman has not time to. invent her own skin-

food, even.if. she had the knowledge of. how and why;, aiid her skin needs feeding moro than Ninon's did, if only becauso she thinks and frets more. The stress -of civilisation is acutcr and no woman can escape it. Opportunely canio Mile. Helena Rubinstein, introducing VALAZE—Dr. Lykuski's Herbal Skin Food.
