THE ART OF BEING BEAUTIFUL

Tho famous beauties of ancient and less ancient times—Semiramis, Randope, Thais, Cleopatra (that peerless Greek), Campaspe, Agnes Sorel, June Shore, Nell Gwyn (that rogue), tho Pompadour, these for suggestion preserved their beauty because tho gods -were good to them in despite of adverse circumstances. :Ninon do Lcnclos, who was a delicious mask of ruin at ninety, so that gallants still fought for her beaux yeux, was lovely always because she took scrupulous cure of her loveliness, the gods being already dead. Virtually, that is to say, that tho incomparable Ninon liad 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 throe parts of perfect beauty. Tho buttle is to tho beautiful, more now than it over was. But tho modern woman has not tjino to invent her own skin-food, oven if sho hud tho knowledge of how and why; and her skin needs feeding more than Ninon's did, if only because sho thinks and frets more. The tdross of civilisation is acute, . and no woman can escape it. Opportunely came Mllo.iHolona Rubinstein, introducing VALAZE—-Dr Lykuski’s Herbal Skin Food. That was five years ego, and now Va laze is accepted everywhere as the one toilet preparation unique and unapproachable in its class. Vuluze suits any woman because it meeds tho needs of tho whole world of women. It acts as a tonic and a preserver, a replenishar and a stimulant. It eradicates all harmful and septic conditions. It makes and keeps the skin pure and beautiful. It revitalises jlaccid ducts and rebuilds impaired tissues. In short, it removes defects, supplies tho most wholesome nutriment, mid restores the natural order. Valaze is. in fact, something more than a skinfood; in a way, it makes healthy flesh. It fills disfiguring hollows and restores distorted or weakened curves to tho gracious natural lino and comeliness. It lifts every woman up to or back to the ideal possibilities of her inherent advantages or physical qualities, and in multitudes ot cases, perhaps tho majority, it gives a woman a finer complexion than she over had in her life before Mile, Rubinstein came along to help her. It does exactly and honestly what it claims to do. In jars, -Is and Gs 9dj post free. With Valaze use VALAZE HERBAL COMPLEXION SOAP (2s 3d a cake). Don’t, while feeding your skin with Valaze, poison it simultaeonsuly with spurious soap. Women generally use too ranch soap; they are dangerously careless as to what soap they use. Valaze Herbal Complexion Soap is perfect for all tho proper purposes of soap, and is absolutely beneficial to the skin. "With tho Valaze and soap used together, tho skin is under perfect treatment. To make tho treatment yot more certain of effect, use also VALAZE MASSAGE ROLLERS. Single roller 9s, sot of two 18s Cd, complete set of three in case 2os; postage Gd.
